The Moral Forces of Washington.

Friday night she people OF Washing
,on, to the number of fully two thousand
assembled to do honor to man and
woman whose distinctions lies IN the
fact that they have devoted their lives
successfully to the DETERRENT or their
fellow creatures and who express in
their personal services the modern
methods of charitable endeavor. MT.
and Mrs Weller have, been transferred
from the local field to PfttsburG. where
there Is an urgent need OF their services.
and they were called back to enaoe the
residents OF the District to express their
appreciation OF the servf ces rendered the
uause OF charity at the capital. The oc-
rasion was a notable demonstration OF the
highest form of civic spirit. 1t bespoke
tho intelligent interes. which Washing
ton takes in all matters that pertain to
the communhy's welfare.
1t has been the fashion In the past in
some quarters IA decry the Washing
tonians for their lack Of enterprise. This
has been an unfounded charge. Recently.
through organized effort, the moral forces
of the District have been brought to a
more effective focus than in former years.
but there was never a. lack Of philan-
ihropic spirit here.
At present the District is the scene of
charitable and moral endeavors Of many
kinds. Last week afforded striking
illustration of THE manner In which the
people are enlisted in the cause Of So
ciaI betterment: The Monday Evening
Club opened the week with its first
inner-discussion Of the season. This
club. comprising in it's membership q large
number of Neutrality-suspicious. interested in
rhilanthropic endeavor, is annually slim
ulating the uplift forces by an 1ntelli-
gent study of conditions and the encopr-
lgement of reforms and cures. Next &C.
cured the banquet Of the Young Women 3

aerinG vitality important service to the
woman workers Of the Distrix, is in need
Of u building In which to grow and in
crease its usefulness-a fact which will
oe so effectively demonstrated that the
deficiency will be promptly supplied.
Finally came the reception to Mr.. and
Mrs. Weller, an outpouring of the men
and women who are daily contributing
10 the bettermeut OF social conditions
and aiding in the solution Of local prob
ems.
Through their organizations and indi-
cidually the people OF this city are ear
lestly. intelltgently at work to help the
Hfortunates. not merely by alternating
heir Immediate sufHerings, but by cur

mystical or moral Ill health. This work

fcctive. 1t Is steadily bringing the Dis

Mr.. Rockefeller, while under the grilling
of the opposition. might avail himself of
a word coined by a witness in New York
some years ago. She was of foreign
birth, and had difficulty with plain United
States. She was quite uncomfortable
while under cross-examination, and found
her mind a little cloudy about the mat
tiers concerning which the lawyer was the
most curious to be Informed. SO, when
unable to tx things to suit. she would
simply say, Il don't recomember." The
first time the word had to be explained,
but it was so pat and expressive 1t after

MARATHON
DISTANCE CLASSIC

BOSTON, April 1S.-All arrange
ments have been completed for hold
ing the twelfth annual Marathon
run under athe auspices of the Bos-
ton Athletic Association next Mon
day. 1t has always been interna-
tional in It's scope, and has number
ed amongst its entries in years past
the best men from the United States
and Canada and numerous foreign
countries. Interest in the event this
year has been heightened by the
decision OF the American Com
mittee of the Olympic Games to hold
the trials for the American run in
England in connection with the an
nual Marathon OF the Boston Ath-
letic Association.
The B. A. A. Marathon is recog-
nized here and abroad as the pre-
mier annual long distance footrace.
and its winner each year is hailed
as practically the worlds champion.
II has developed many wonderful
runners in the past. and only last
year brought international fame to
Tom Longboat. the Canadian Indi-
an, who established a new record.
and since has achieved additional
fame and some nctoriety over the
disputes as to his amateur standing.
The B. A. A. Marathon course
from Ashland to Boston gives a
thorough trial, up hill and down,
with sufficient level stretches to af-
ford breathing spaces. 1t is diff
cult enough for the hardest run
ners and the winner will richly de-
serve to be one of the American
team in England. The B. A. A.

cessful men would be obliged to

long races would take too much out
of the runners, while If a shorter
run was held as a trial there would
be great protest from prospective

tend that many men who can run
from ten to twenty miles would be
forced out of the running at twenty
five miles.
