"ouR coUNTRY's CAUSE"
Theme Of Address by Rabbi Gimon at
Burnside Post Banquet.

With "Our Country's Cause" as his sub
ject. Rabbi Abram Simon made an address
at the annual banquet of Burnside Post
No. s. G.. A. R.. in the Ebbitt House last
night. in which he discussed at some length
the widespread corruption of the present
day among men In the higher walks Of
life.
I'VE cannot pick up a newspaper to-
day. he said. without seeing the dis
closures telling US of corruption. The men
who accused are not the men of TIE
lower order. They are not the members
Of the great middle class of society. The
men who are making such a sorry bur
lesuue of much-boasted American
democracy are the men who belong to
educated, they possess every opportunity
These are the men whose corruption has
become a matter of public property"
AS distinguished from this class of citi-
Zens, Rabbi Simon held up to greatest
praise the men who are honestly and ear
nestly striving to advance the interests of
the country, and deprecated the too preva-
those in power.
There are thousands of persons in the
United States today who can do nothing
but criticiSe.'' he said What we need
more than anything is a greater respect
for the White House. greater veneration
for the Congress whose members we
elected and who represent us today. A
tion-that is one of the great needs of our
country"
Other speakers at the banquet were

Objections to Bill for Relief of House
of Detention Guards.

The bill introduced by Representative
Pearre of Maryland several days ago pro-
viding for the relief of the six guards at
the house OF detention and making them
regular policemen, to enjoy the rights.
privileges immunities and compensation of
such. does not meet with the approval OF
Commissioner West, who has supervision
of the metropolitan police department. This
bill was referred to the Commissioners
Monday for report. The Commissioners
referred 1t to Major Sylvester, chief of
police. for his opinion, and he at once dis
approved it and recommended that the
Commissioners do likewise. Commissioner
West thereupon recommended that the
House District committee be informed that
the Commissioners are not prepared to
make favorable report upon this bill at
the present time. However, his recon-
mendation has not been approved by the
other two Commissioners.
Major Sylvester gives as his chief excuse
for opposing this legislation the fact that
1t would necessitate the guards of the
house of detention taking the required
physical examination of the regular police
man. and that it would give them the
same benefits of the police pension fund as
policemen who have been contributing for
years.

Residents of Randle Heights Consider
Business Matters

At a meeting of the Randle Heights Cit
liens Association last Monday evening at
the hall, Minnesota avenue and Nicholson
street Charles G. Robinson presided. A
resolution was adopted providing that an
effort be made to have arc lights placed on
Pennsylvania avenue bridge instead of the
iat-fame gas lights now in use. The Com
missioners will also be requested to install
naphtha lights on Park place and Naylor
road southwest of Minnesota avenue.
The unsatisfactory condition Of Pennsyl-
vania avenue, especially that portion be-
tween Branch avenue and Bowen road, was
discussed. Attention was directed to re-
port of the District Commissioners in which
they estimated that it would cost $4,000 to
complete that portion of the avenue 1t
was stated that 5000 has been expended
on the work and the use of more money
would be a waste.
A resolution was adopted thanking the
Commissioners for extending sewer and wa

soon went to Philadelphia and obtained en-
poyment in the establishment of Bartis P.

Those presses, Mr.. Graves said, were to be
placed in the bureau and operated in the

the drain being stopped. The plumber
came and reported, 1T is from the roots of
the shade trees on the front curbstone,
which have before cut off, but they will
grow again and close your drainage, for
they are elms with wide-spreading roots.
