We Are Not Going to the Bad:

Editorial in The Washington Herald April s.
Washington is not a perfect city. But
1t is orderly, law-abiding, and compare
lively free from municipal evils.
In almost all respects it IS an ideal place
Of residence.
To say that Washington is wide open, "
as the Rev. DR.. Guthrie said TO the Meth
odlst Conference at Baltimore. is to give
the CAPITAL a bad name, which 1t does
not deserve.
Such an assertion, indeed, falls little
short of Islander.
wide OPEN" in common acceptation OF
the term, means a town or city wholly
given over to worldly pleasures and indul-
gences, where laws and regulations are
disregarded, and where. in the language
of the street. everything goes"
Washington is no such city. It would
require the widest stretch Of the imagi-
nation to bring it within that category
There is not more well-behaved. we'll
ordered municipality in the United States
than this Capital of the Nation It's resi-
dents are singularly blessed, and know it.
People are coming here from all parts of
the land TO take up their permanent
abode Why? Because It is an ideal
place in which to live.
Washington is not going TO the demni-
ton bow-wows or inviting the wrath Of
God, as our good friend would have Balti-
more believe. On the contrary. It is more
wholesome and healthful all the time.
And the fine feature Of IT all is that it
requires no vlgilant, persistent reglla-
ton 10 make it so.
1t IS respectable by choice, and thus
naturally.
Dr. Guthrie is quoted by the press as
follows;
Washington is wide open and alive
with Sabbath dissertation, The moving
picture places are always open, what are
| termed sacred concerts are given in the
theaters. and there is talk Of playing
| Sunday baseball
"a city of this type Is bound TO feel
the wrath OF God, and all because some
of its citizens are looking for amuse-
ments rather than churches"
Opinions differ as TO the moving picture
shows. II not uniformly elevating. they
/ are by no means sin-breeding and demon
alzing. On our own part, We do not
believe that Washington is the worse of
since they came into being. With a
proper censoring OF the pictures. IL seems
/ TO US as harmless a diversion for the
masses as could well be conceived OF or
/ INDUCED in. Real Instruction is often a
/ feature Of these shows. Certainly they
are not sending the city TO destruction.
As for Sunday baseball by professional
teams. the prospect Of such an innova-
ton is TOO remote 10 warrant any fears.
AS we have said. Washington is not a
perfect city. Since a self-satisfied spirit
/ is not a good thing, rational efforts to-
ward betterment are always in order.
/ We welcome them But ill-foUnded dis
paragement OF the city away from home
calls for protest
Hence these optimistic words.

NEGRO DOES HIGH DIVE.
His Motorcycle COIIides with Auto
at First and Streets.

Perry Green, a negro, executed a high
dive that would have killed any man
with an ordinary thickness of skull, yes
terday afternoon. when his motorcycle
colided with an automobile driven by DR..
Edward Lothrop at First and B streets
southeast.
Green's body took wings and gracefully
scared over the machine when the crash
came. He landed on his head and shout
ders. Half dozen men ran forward ex-
pecting 10 pick up a dead one. but Perry
merely rolled over. and asked where the
band was playing.
Green was riding swiftly down B street
when Or. Lothrop's car whirled around
the corner of First street The negro
tried to dodge, but the auto stayed in
the way, and when the front wheel of his
cycle struck it, the rider left his seat and
sailed over DR.. LOthTOp's head.
The physician administered first aid, and
Green was trying to patch up his smashed
vehicle twenty minutes later.

BREACHES ON JESUITS.
Rev. DIR. woodrow Gives Views on
SchismS In Catholicism.

In his address at the First Congre-
gational Church last night, Rev. DR..
Samuel H. Woodrow took as his subject
'Ignatius Loyola and the Jesuits." Ac-
cording 10 Dr. Woodrow, JesUitism rep
resents one of the earliest and deepest
sehisms in Catholicism, which conceded
with the breakdown of the feudal system,
the opening of the era of industrialism,
and the Widespread fermentation. brought
about by this social change in the domain
of religious and spiritual activity, culmi-
mating in the reformation.
He divided the evolution of Catholicism
into three epochs, each headed by great
monk, viz: Benedict, representing the
ancient poetic intellect. the spirit of the
anchorites and hermits Dominic, leading
the epoch of scholastic endeavor, or the
inception of mOnasticism. and LoyOla. the
modern intellect. actuated by the spirit
of activity. as opposed TO that of isolation
and, essentially. by the practical trend of
disposition.
