limit our attention to that which is
far away.
In this cleaning up campaign. we see
some of the opportunities at hand. There
is such thing as individual responsible
ity. Every man must look out for his
own. If every man would look after his
own doorstep the rest would be easy.
There is neighbood responsibility. Not all
men in a neighborhood will take interest.
Therefore, some of us must be cuStod1ans

yesterday morning: washington is q
beautiful city, barring some biotches.
Washington will never be the beautiful
or the healthy city it ought to be as the
spicuously q clean city. Cleanliness is
next to goodness Is a saying attributed
to the founder Of Methodism. That be-
ing true. 1t Is certainly fitting that the
people Of this church give the heartiest
cooperation to the clean city crusade,
| which begins this week. The Star is to
be particularly commended for its enter
prise In this campaign"
A strong appeal to civic pride in the
made by Rev. Charles Wood. at the
morning service OF the Church Of the
Covenant. He asked the aid Of all to
do what they could to encourage and
help along the effort being made to
improve conditions in the alleys and
streets of the city.
The Gospel OF the Back Yard" ought
to be the subject of the sermon actu-
day" asserted Rev. James S. Mont
gomery in the Metropolitan Memorial
NJ. E. Church. THE man who prays
on his knees today and keeps an in
sanitary backyard, preys on his neigh.
sanitation in our midst is a positive
crime. The preacher or layman may
have his shop window filled with all
ing. yet II he has no fist to smite this
evil it is like sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal.
There are movements headed by
apostles Of vague sentiment which
reach no practical results. Rising
votes don't do the business. Confer
ences alone don't do the jobs. These
are usually followed by inaction and
forgetfulness. Something is now made
definite. Public sentiment created
largely by our newspapers is now crys-
tallized. This is civic opportunity
now let us do something.
"To the back yard Monday-make that
pulpit and pew. Cleanse these arteries of
poison and scrofula, in response to an
awakened and an aroused public senti-
ment. He who ignores this call 10 not
only guilty OF gross negligence, but Is an
unworthy citizen"
Duty Of Householders.
Rev. Joseph NJ. NJ. Gray. at Hamline
M E. Church, called the attention Of the
members of his congregation to the city
cleanup campaign. and urged every
householder to take part in 1t. Rev. Mr..
Gray said that every citizen owed 1t to
the city, as a matter Of civic pride, as
we'll as for obvious sanitary reasons. to
help in the work of cleaning up the city
and keeping 1t clean.

The Modern Rome.

Does the world advance In spirals,
and are we now in larger way re-
peating the history of Rome at the
tine OF the first Caesars? Many par
ailels have been pointed out, some OF
them almost startling in their re-
semblaRee. For example, the group
surrounding Julius Caesar and that
associated with Willars Mckinley
were surprisingly alike, Whether In
politics. industry, religion or morals
the similarity is apparent.
Professor Guglielmo Ferrero, the
celebrated Italian historian, who
has delved deeper into Roman his
tory perhaps than any other man
new living, recently pointed out an
ether alarming likeness between the
American today and the Roman yes
