Delegates to See Sights.

Many delegates arrived since yesterday,
the greater number coming in after 10
o'clock this morning. OF the late arrivals
1t is expected that large portion of
them will return home Immediately at
the end of the session, as most of them
come from nearby places. Plans for sew
eral days of sightseeing after the bust
ness of the session is finally closed are
being made by many of the delegates
who have come long distances
The entertainment and reception held
at Pythian Temple last evening in honor
of the delegates was considered a great
success by members of the order. DIR.
Donald &. Macleod was the principal
speaker of the evening He chose for his
subject Moral Suasion.'
THE Christian method of realizing re-
FORM" said DIR. Macleod during the
course of his remarks. is moral suasion.
1t is the logical method, for with it we
do not have to wait for an emperor or
government to assist in passing laws, but
each individual. by learning the RICH,
and doing it, can bring about the great
est reform. Proper legislation dealing
with the liquor traffic can be effective
only when it is the expression of intelli-
gent convictions"

to $125.
takes a lawyer to decide, and the attor-
ney for the board of education has had
many questions of the sort to answer in
the past. Government employees sta
toned in Washington and living out of
the District are exempt from tuition fees;
District government employees living out
of the District are exempt; all taxpayers
are exempt, whether they come to the
city daily or not. and all persons who are
in business In Washington are exempt.
This last exemption often brings up hard
questions. One of the recent decisions
was in the case of track walker on
section of railroad that lay for a mile and
a half inside the District and eight miles
out of the District. He lived in Maryland
He claimed that the mile and half in
the District rendered him exempt, and
the attorney sustained him.

reason is that all the pleasant little
