needed for the purchase of a permanent
home for the work. The sum of 5000 is

will furnish this sum during the Christ

81 G. street northwest.
1t has now been about ten years since
the work was first started in the south

| the club. and 1t grew until the South

headquarters were established at the
Rochefort House. The management of
the center was in the hands of a board
of managers. but there was no one
person who could give the time neces-'
sary for the management of the work.
WHICH lidu Sicdtly OF eiIab -

the appeal is being made. At this home
it is proposed to foster and develop home
industries. which will relieve the mother
of the necessity of going outside her home
to find work by teaching and introducing
the useful arts and crafts, and this line
of work is being planned. But the home
is needed, and it is for this the committee
in charge makes an appeal for the neces-

II Isl proposed to name the home after
it's benefactor. and it is suggested that
it might be made memorial Offering.

MGR. McQuaid Ill Six Months.

ROCHESTER,. \. Y. December 81
Bishop Bernard J. McQuaid OF the diocese
of Rochester is very low. and it is said
that he may not live through the day.
The strength of the aged prelate has been
slowly decreasing.
Bishop McQuaid, who celebrated his
eighty-fifth birthday last week, has been
Ill for more than six months. Recently
the condition of the first bishop of the
Catholic diocese of Rochester has been
far from satisfactory, and during the last
few days his vitality has become so weak
that all hope of his recovery has been
abandoned.

ping custom of this country is both pernlclous ana I'M
posing and it is due to OF two causes ElCher te
employers do not pay their employees living wages anu
encourage them in fleeing the travelling public by SO
acting toward those they sent to serve that the
guests in order to get any accommodations at ALL are
forced to literally tip the Or the employees are
heartless set of human hogs who work on the theory
that "a sucker is born every minute, and they all
sooner later land in hotel drag net 1t is
fact that guests of hotels and certain cafes from whom
the walters and other parasites hereabuts are reason
ably sure they will get tips for the most part very
poorly served and either the propretors poweress
to prevent it they fully approve of the course pur
sued by their employees The legislatures of some of
the states of this Uuon have passed anttipping laws
with the hope of protecting the public against such
game of hodup but the custom is so thoroughly estab-
ished that the guets themselves will break the law Even
the government itself tips the clerks and helpers, who
serve congress- by giving each of them months extra
pay at the adjournment of each session. Under such
circumstances then its wonder that the tipping evil
has grown pace with the entire country. II hotel
proprietors cannot prevent the fleeing OF their guests
by their help after they have paid exorbtant hotel bills
then they should not permit the help to abuse such OF
the guests who do not literally tip them.
In view of the fact that Local Option is one of the
paramount issues of the present political campaign all
over the United States it might not be out OF place to
note the stand taken by the
Local Option Methodist Episcopal church at
Not Prohibition it's general conference last May
on the subject. The conference
by unanimous vote went record opposing Prohl-
bition but enthusiastically favorng local option In
taking the stand it did this subject the church took
direct issue with the AntiSaoon League of the country
and reoiced in the factthat it did, In discussing the
subject Bishop Bashford the noted educator and-em-
nent divine said 1T had the power to thrust prohl-
bition on community would not do it unless knew
the community wished it. and just as long as the Anti
Saloon League keeps local option the goal of its am
bition it can be said that it is open to political
compromise" IT, therefore, it is the intention of the
AntiSaloon League to attempt to force prohibition on
the state of Washington instead of local option, then
there grave danger of both of them being defeated
and the members of the league will have no one else
but themselves to blame for it. Every community
should have the right to say whether it does or does
not want local option. Even wards in cities should
nave this right Should majority of the voters
of state favor state wide prohibition it would be
lust to thrust such those communities of such state
that not only do favor but do not by any want
it. The minority have rights that the majority should
respect.
