Is Lazarus at Your Gate?

Washington has n population of
$4,000 Of this total there are, ac-
cording to the reports of the or
gained charities of the city. 2O.SOO
who need help. In order to help
them in the many and various ways
proposed it is estimated that S31, 21s
must be contributed by the people
of Washington.
Subtracting from the total popu-
latiOn the number who need help,
we find that there are more than
300 900 who do not need assistance
of any kind. Assuming that of
these there are 5000 who, after tax
ing care of themselves, are unable
TO help anyone else, we have 800, 900
who are able TO give their mite
toward aiding those who suffer in
one way or another.
If each of these 300, 900 gave 1
cent a month to these organized
charities, each of the separate funds
would be supplied and there would
be a balance at the end of the year
of more than $4,000.
Suppose that out of the 300, 900
only 100000 were willing to give
for charity. If these 200, 900 should
contribute cents a month, we
would then be able to turn over to
the administrators of our charities
the noble sum OF S48,O 900.
But suppose that only 100000 of
all the men, women, and children
of this great city; this city of banks
and schools and colleges; where
$4,000 are employed by the Govern
ment alone; where thousands more
are employed in the great depart
ment stores and shops and Offices

On the Way to CallaO.

There Is striking connection be-
tween the dangers and difficulties
into which Admiral Evans feet
must now plunge as it journeys
from Rio around to Callao, and the
eagerness with which the progress
of the Panama Canal work is being
watched and fostered here.
From now until the middle of
February, excepting for the five
days stop at Punta Arenas, near
the foot of the hemisphere, the
fleet Will be out of touch with the
world. Even wireless telegraphy
cannot serve il or help it serve US.
Add to the uncertainties of such a
situation the possibility of disaster
during the passage OF the Straits of
Magellan, and we have a state of
affairs that forbids repetition. Ad-
miral Evans knows the straits. and
so do the navigators ne has with
him; but it will require luck and
skill TO sail safely through the tor
tuOus channel TO the Pacific. Once
on the other side. the feet viii in
all probability stay there. The Pa
cifc, not the Atlantic, is now the
source Of possible international
trouble But, trouble aside, not
only the danger, but the tremen-
dous expense of bringing the feet
back by way Of the straits, Indicate
that while peace prevails there will
be no more sailing back and forth
between the two oceans until the
Panama Canal is ready for use.
The unwisdom of the diIIy-dally-
ing that characterized the prelimi-
naries relating to the building Of
this strategic waterway is more ap-
parent now than ever before. But
now that the work is fairly under
way, it should be pushed forward
with all possible speed and energy.

Friars' Lanis,

A most potential source of disorder in
the islands was the ownership OF what
were called the "friars' lands by three
of the religious orders OF the islands
the Dominicans, the Augustinians, and
the sO-Called barc-fOOted Augustinians,
known as "ReCOletOs." These lands
amounted in all to as, 900 acres. OF which
Z75.o 600 were in the immediate neighbor-
hood of Manila. 25.O0O In Cebu, and 15,-
COO in the remote provinces of Isabella
ana NIindOru. The tenants on those
which we're close to Manila numbered
5000 or 10000 persons The attitude
Of the people toward the friars' lands
was shown by the fact that the So
called constitutional convention assem-
bIed by AguinaldO 1t Malolos national
ed the fTfars' iands-that is. appropri-
ated them to the sO-called Republic Of
the Philippines"
