truth and righteousness, or who will
halt between two opinions leading the
people he knows not whittier, or who
will try to stand upon the solid rock
and the sinking sand both at the same
time, is not qualified to be an ambas-
sador from the throne of grace, and
should be unceremoniously stripped of
the cloth. There can be absolutely no
connection between the saloon and the
church, for the reason that it is too far
removed from the principle of Chris
tianity, and, therefore, it is just as
impossible to harmonic the demoraliz-
ing Influence of sin and the pure, I'M
defiled principle of Christianity as it is
to mix oil n water. The MISSION of
the minister of the gospel is to strive
to purify, to enllghten and to illumi-
nate the community in which he works
with the light of gospel truth, and the
man who deviates from hat position
~repudiates his God and dishonors the
office of under-shepherd.

Doesn't Agree with DIR. WATSON

Doesn't Agree with DR.. WATSON.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
After carefully perusing the speech
(not sermon) delivered by the Rev.
E. A. WATSON at Trinity Episcopal
Church last Sunday night to represent
atives of the Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton I have reached the logical con-
%clusion, such as any fair-minded, in
telligent person would reach, that he is
either insincere in his advocacy of the
liquor traffic and is playing a grand
stand play for cheap notoriety or else
he has sadly missed his vocation in
life, and would ind his common level
and more c%ongenial company in the
advertising agency of the Liquor Deal
ers' Association than being a misfit in
the pulpit.
1t is a source of great satisfaction to
know that Mr.. WATSON advises the Gull
tivation Of reason and good sense, but
it is a sad tact that helm this case at
least-seems to lack that reason and
good sense himself, by reason of the
fact that he has attempted to cham
pion a business Numerically opposed
to the teaching of Christ, while he is at
the same time playing the role of
teacher of morality and righteousness.
We have a right to interfere with an
other mans morals not only when his
morals interfere with our rights, but
MO CO o1nctitrfad nc 5{cCinlad nf
Christ that it is our bounden duty. ac-
cording to the laws laid down in holy
writ, to interfere with another mans
morals at such times as the morals in
question seem to be in danger of con-
tamination with the lusts of the flesh,
whether these morals interfere with
our rights or are confined to the life of
the individual to whom they apply.
We are repeatedly and emphatically re-
minded in various passages of scripture
that we are our brothers keeper, and
any statement to the contrary proves
conclusively that the one giving utter
ance to it is not familiar with his
Bible.
1t is also a fact that the wine used
at the communion table is the pure
unfermented grape Juice and, there
fore, contains no alcohol, while wine
distilled for general consumption con-
tains a large percentage of alcohol that
renders it detrimental to the mental
the physical, the moral and the spirit
ual conditions of a mans life; and 1t is
the most ridiculous thing imaginable
for a clergyman with years of expert
to display such IN enormous degree OF
ignorance as to attempt a comparison
of anything SO widely different as this,

lied by the law of the state or the

ITHe MANUFACTURER OF CHEATING DEWCEs

m OUNTERFEITING government money is a helnous crime
" under our laws. But the manufacturer of false welghts ana
measures, who is morally in exactly the same criminal class
With the counterfeiter, is not disturbed by the law. There are estsp-
lishments that regularly turn out false weights and measures, ana
their OUTPUT is advertised as intended to increase the profits OF
dealers. There is no installing the meaning of the advertisements
The purchaser knows that he is buying something to cheat MS
customers with. There is no doubt that in many cases short weight
is due TO the carelessness of the dealer. There is also no reason
TO doubt that in very many cases the cheating is deliberate and sys
tematic. 1t has been said that shoppers in the markets should see
that their purchases are correctly weighed and measured, but the
GREAT majority of people have implicit faith in a pair of scales or
in a quart measure. and never stop to think that one might be tam
pered with and the other reduced in size. Inspectors who inspect
have found scales rugged up by the dealers themselves. Lead has
been fastened under the scale to give the dealer an advantage of an
ounc n two on every purchase weighed. But the law should not
lose sight of the scoundrel manufacturer of cheating devices. The
Legislature next winter will have this subject brought up for action,
and the first necessity will be to enact a law making it criminal
and punishable by severe penalties for any person to manufacture,
sell or have in possession cheating devices in trade.

BRITISH ELECTION CAMPAIGN AGAIN.

M GENERAL election in Great Britain and Ireland is impend
~ ing, the great issue being the House of Lords. Not long
since the country was all torn up by a parliamentary cleo
fion. in which the Liberals administered a severe defeat to the
Unionists. The same issue appeared in that election, and on the
strength of the popular verdict the Liberal ministry undertook to
adopt measures to curb or destroy the power of the Lords. The
issue remains practically without change, and another appeal will
90 to the country, complicated, as before, with other issues, but
now better defined for the people. This week the House of Lords
without division, passed the resolutions by Lord Rosebery that
contemplate a conservative reform of the chamber to give it some
of the character of a representative body. The gst of the reso
lutions is that the chamber shall consist of Lords chosen in four
wavs-frst, chosen by all the hereditary peers; second, nominated
by the crown; third, sitting by virtue of their offices, meaning the
clerical members and those from the universities, and fourth, others
chosen from the outside. The temper of the English people de-
mands something more radical than the plan which Lord Rosebery
proposes. 1t is only a profound conviction among the Lords that
radicalism will prevail and the House of Lords be abolished, unless
something is conceded to the popular sentiment, that has impelled
the Lords to adopt the ROsebery resolution. But this action comes
too late. The reform of the House of Lords must now come from
without Fl t comes at all.

EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY.

I'D COSEyELTS curt comment on certain results u ne recent
Inn elections is: every dog has his day, but the nights pelohg
to the CATS Since the election in New York newspapers
that are the most bitterly opposed to him personally have lam
pooned him to an extent seldom witnessed after an elecuon a
been decided. They have held him responsible for n nepuphcan
defeat in the State and declare that he is knocked out. When you
come TO analvze the facts the defeat is not as great as IT woulo
appear. If the plurality for Dix val on a par with n Democratio
plurality in New Jersey in proportion to the voting popuiae"h II
would he 200 600. Now, it might be asked how far the influence oi
Roosevelt served to reduce the vote for Dix. The feeling over II
bigb prices was exhibited in all the State elections. In Pennsyi
vania the Republican loss was vastly greater than that IN ne"
York In PHILADELPHIA alone the Republican fal1ngoH was oV,oOu.
II seen rather farfetched, therefore, to assert that the de1eat III
New York was due to opposition throughout the State to Roosevelt
personally. When he says that every dog has his day III Is iookms
ahead When he speaks of the night and the cats he refers to a
recent experience which he believes will not have the least DIT OF
effect upon his future.

INCREASE OF OFFICERS AND SALARIES.

n T is expected that among the acts Of the next Legislature Will
be a probe of the State departments, commissions and boards,
with a view to cutting off unnecessary expenses and cutting
out unnecessary offices. 1t will be well for the Legislature, also,
to adopt some plan of investigation of the expenses and offices of
the municipalities, with the same object in view. During the past
few there has been a constant increase in the number OF
municipal offices in the State, in the salaries paid and in the ex
pense of administration. A reform of these conditions can better
be brought about by expert investigators. There can also be de-
yised bv experts some uniform plan of municipal bookkeeping. An
investigation of that character could be productive of an immense
economy TO the taxpayers. They have no experts to go over the
books to examine the offices and see how they have been multiplied
and how their salaries have been boosted from time to time. They
simply pay the bills, whether they like it or not.

At first the railway witness

But gave an imitation Of a man
who hadn't heard
The questions fired at him, I'll at
last impatiently
The probers slipped him what po-
lice know as 1.-The third de-

And then 1t was he weakened,
went to pieces and confessed
To all the sick'ning d~etails-lack Of
profits and the rest.
He said the travelling public could
hardly realize
How much his road lost annually
Sums of enormous size
It seemed, to hear him tell 1t, that
a railroad aimed to be
A busy understudy for sweet, pa

When this sad tale was finished
everyone was feeling blue;

Remember this poor railroad fight

A HOME FOR THE WORKING GIRL.

TIA ORMER UNITED STATES SENATOR CLARK, of Montana,
IT. sets a fine example for other mulimilionaires in his gift
of $15O,OOO to the Los Angeles Young Women's Christian
Association for the erection of a home for working girls. There
are thousands of working girls in a large city who have no home
ties and live as best they can in cheap boarding houses, where they
have poor fare and scant comfort, and nothing of a social life.
The Young Women's Christian Association of Newark has pro-
jected an enlarged home for working girls and is gradually accumu.
latng a fund to be devoted to that purpose. The association now
conducts a home with limited accommodations. A considerable
amount is needed to complete the fund, and it might be subscribed
in short order by a few of Hewarks citizens

A STIRRING RECITAL.

has secured the initial first per-
son account of the season of a
hunters battle with a wounded
rabbit.
While not as large as some beasts
of prey, the Jersey rabbit when cor
nered or wounded or in defense of
its young is nc mean antagonist.
The animals plan of attack is Gun
ningly devised and testifes to its
all but human intelligence. It's little
game is to leap out and startle the
unwary huntsman into shooting
himself or his companion.
Statisticians have been unable to
estimate the number of deaths
caused by this bit of strategy on
the part of the rabbit. Amateurs
have been peculiarly susceptible
to 1t.

Furnishing militant suffragettes IN
England by arrest is like burying
moles or drowning muskrats. They
thrive on it. A concerted attack by
the militants on the House of Parlia-
ment yesterday resulted in 116 arrests,
which from a militant s~uffragette
standpoint means the creation of lie
more martyrs. IT. is doubtful If the
American cousin OF the English mill
tant will ever as a matter Of policy
seek to have her aggressiveness lead to
Jail. Conditions are different over
here and the making of that sort of
martyrs wouldn't be likely to help the
cause much.

The New York police are attacking
the problem presented by an eight
year-old trunk murder mystery with
commendable spirit, considering the
vast number of similar mysteries they
caught young and which eventually
went into the "unsolved' pigeon-hole.
1t is possible, however, that the lapse
Of time since the murder was COM
mitted may aid the police in this in
stance. The murderer, If alive, may
have been immune long enough to be-
come careless. Long ago he must have
stopped scanning the papers eagerly
for an account of the discovery of the
body of his victim in the double trunk.
Perhaps, as the search for him is in
progress, he is of it and will
be taken easily. q

The political crisis in England would
be watched with more interest in this
country if it were better understood.
England's form of government does not
parallel our own to the extent that
they may readily grasp the meaning of
such a situation as is now presented
from the cabled newspaper accounts of
1t. 1t may be stated, however, that the
House of Lords is asked to accept or
reject a bill seriously curtailing it's
power, which had its origin in the
House of Commons. If the lords reject
this measure the king will be asked to
dissolve Parliament. and a general cleo
ton will be called. 1t is the opinion of
the more liberal of the lords them
selves that such an election would prac-
tically sound the knell of the upper
house. Thus the lords would seem to
be between the devil of curtailed pow
ers and the deep sea Of oblivion.

Theft is shown in one of Its most
contemplate forms when it is effected
through false weights and 1t
is masked under the guise of honest
dealings. It cripples most him who
can least afford to lose. However un-
just and illogical are the causes for
exorbitant prices of foodstuffs, the
man who must make a little money go,
a long way is at least given an op-
p%ortunity to figure on them and meet
them after a fashion. The short-weight
theft steals from him when his back is
turned. The coffee canister, the sugar
jar, the -four box and the oil can must
be filed a little oftener and the diff
ference isn't noted until it begins to
be borne in on the victim that he Is
having more difficulty than usual in
making ends meet. The Newark

against the dishonest merchant Is de-
servedly popular and has the good
wishes of the entire community.

That the demonstrations against
Americans in Mexico were expressions
of the anti-Diaz sentiment seems
to have been proven, now that
a genuine revolution is on. Diaz,
the republican czar of our neighbor to
the south, has always been a
friend of the United States. Here
tofore he has put down each
slightest effort to dispute his power
with an iron hand. h man who OPP
posed him for reelection the last time
spent the campaign period IN jail.
There has never been much nourish-
ment for the foes of Diaz in a strictly
anti-Diaz platform. In attacking Amer
leans and American capital in Mexico
they were attempting a flank move
ment. The revolution to date seems to
be confined to the city of Puebla. 1t is
the general belief in this country that
President Diaz is thoroughly capable
of handling 1t.

The Really Trulys of Heaven

Eight-year-old William and his Uncle Will are great chums, and the latter takes delight in the quaint sayings of his namesake.
 It rained on the day that Will liam was to have gone to a won derful picnic. The little lad stood at the window trying to keep back the tears. Uncle Will, coming by, and seeing the tears, slapped his nephew on the back and unex- pectedly shouted; Hello, Bill What's your idea of heaven2"
 The small boy looked up and solemnly answered: Heavens the place where the really-trulys are as nice as the just-supposin's. :" Cameron in the Woman's Home Companion for September.
