missioner George Of the automobile de-

sions of the law are enforced, including
that feature about which there is now
a contention between Hagerstown auto
lists and the state department.
The. question at issue is the free de-
livery Of license, tags. Members of the
Hagerstown Automobile Club claim that
these license tags should be delivered
with the delivery charges paid. There
are q number OF these tags in the ex-
press ofiices here. but SO far the per-
sons to whom the tags have been sent
have refused to- receive them because
they were not sent prepaid. In the mean
time these autoists have been operating
their cars without tags.
It is said the autoists will ask that an
arrest be made with view Of having the

who were clamoring for downward re
visions on the products of the other fei-

"A great majority of the republicans
of the northwest are as nrm as ever
in their advocacy of the protective prin-
ciple, and wish it applied fairly 10 the
PRODUCTS of their constituents as well

to await information on: this subJect
from the tariff board before taxing any

ANY attempt at this time to revise the the

AMONG THE SCHOOLS.

The past week contained many events
Of interest for all connected with
the schools Two debates. the first inter-
high school debates this year. have been
held; the end Of the half year is a week
nearer. the teachers retirement bill has
been discussed at length and the con-
troller's decision regarding the non-pay-
ment of absent teachers has received
much attention.
Several meetings of parents and teach
ers have been held, and many interest
ing, pertinent and profitable talks have
been heard from those within the school
circle.
The Eastern Western debate and the
Central-Technical debate have been held
with the result that Eastern and Central
have won over their opponents. 1t would
be unsafe, however, to predict that one
of these schools would receive the high
school debate championship this year, as
there is still one unknown quantity-the
Business High School team.
1t. is quite possible, with team In the
field from Business, that there will be
tie for the championship.
The interhigh school debates are not
the only ones of interest this year,
though. as intersection debates and other
debates between members of the same
school are being held regularly, and so
far have been, in most cases.. well at
tended.

now seek to remove the cause of pow

Yesterday this modern idea of char

Washington. The occasion for preach.
ing the doctrine was the present needs
of the Associated Charities of this
city. That organization is now en-
gagged in its annual solicitation of
funds for carrying on its work during
the ensuing year. 1t is working on
the modern charity theory. 1t is re-
moving causes of poverty, but it is also
giving direct relief where direct relief
is imperative.
The Associated Charities needs sew
eral thousand dollars more to make
its fund complete, The simple state
ment of this fact should be sufficient
to guarantee the society an immediate
response from the men and women

Great Edifce Here Urged
By Southern MethodiStS

\ church of cathedral proportions
to be erected in Washington has just
been proposed by three bisheps of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South in
an article in the current issue of the
Baltimore Southern Methodist, the
official organ of the denomination.
Bishop Alpheus w. Wilson, of Balti-
more, says:
Excepting. perhaps. foreign mis-
sions. there is no greater cause before
our church today than the effort to
erect a representative church build
ing for our people in Washington
city All loyal MethOdists should take
this matter to heart and respond to
the appeal for funds which is now
being made"
This project is indOrsed by other
leaders Of the church. Bishop James
Atkins follows Bishop Wilson's article
by saying. Washington is the Ma
tional Capital, and we are a large and
influential part of the nation, so that
both reIigiously and politically or
civically, we are under strong obliga-
tiOn to build and ably maintain a
representative church there"
Bishop L. r. Hendrix argues that
every great denomination should be
represented by a large and imposing
edifiCe in Washington. \ number of
additional arguments for the proposed
building are advanced by Governor G.
W. Donaghey, of Arkansas.

friends aroused.
The one thing necessary now is to
keep the work going on. 1t must not
flag. The Government people must
themselves take it up and press it.
Get into the business of writing let
ters to your friends at home, to your
Senators and Congressman. Dissent
nate literature, newspaper articles,
speeches, setting your cause fairly be-
fore readers.
Get your friends back at home inter-
ested in your cause. Get them to see
THEIR Congressman, THEIR Senators,
in your behalf. Equip them with the
facts so that they may state your
cause as well as you yourself can do it..
There is going to be, in all probabil-
ity, an extra session of Congress.
Whether or not it shall provide oppor-
tunity for the kind of legislation that
is needed, it will furnish at least the
chance to bring members of Congress
to understand what this fight is about,
its merits, its justice, the absolute
necessity that it be won if the Govern
ment business is to be done efficiently
and economically.
Now is the time to push the work
with redoubled energy.
If every Government cmploye would
write one letter every day, telling the
facts and enlisting some friend in the
cause, it would not be six months be-
fore Congress would act.
Hundreds of the clerks in Washing
ton have already taken up systemat
