FEEL EFFECT
OF THE CALLS WORK
Demand Growing for Goods Bearing
Labels Which Appear on
This Page

The result of the launching of the
label gathering campaign has been all
that the most enthusiastic could have
wished for and 1t has shown that all
classes are keenly alive to the neces
sity of encouraging the sale and the
consumption of articles made in this
state
There are business men and profess
sional men collecting labels In The
Calls campaign. By the use of The
Calls label page as guide when they
make purchases they are able to regis
ter high marks of credits. There are
many very desirable premiums that are
the attraction for those that are saw
ing The Calls certificates.
Mechanics, shopkeepers, manufac-
turers, women and children, all form
part OF the great rank and file of The
Calls label gathering army, and ac-
cording to the reports OF the grocers
OF the vicinity OF San Francisco bay,
there is a persistent demand for those
goods carrying labels in The Calls
label contest.
The Calls campaign is open to all
persons in this state. IT is only neces-
sary that the rules governing the cam
paign be gone over carefully by the
entrant and that the few and simple
admonitions contained therein be un-
derstood.

Base Ball Boosting.

Washington is just now in process of
organizing another club. This time the
followers of the national sport are work
ing up "a scheme to give the home team
encouragement and forming themselves
into a solid rank of boosters" good
idea. which deserves encouragement.
Base ball depends upon home patronage
That in turn depends upon the work of
the home team. If the home team plays
poor ball the attendance is light If it
plays winning ball the gate receipts are
heavy, and the management is able to
spend more money for new players and
physical improvements. 1t is like any
other business; support makes for better
ment, and therefore it is to the interest
team win to do all in his power to make
it win.
Every one who knows anything about
base ball is aware of the powerful infiu-
ence' exerted by the mental attitude of
the people in the stands upon the work
of the players. A'pitcher who is greeted
with cheers when he takes his place in
the box is likely to do better work than
the one who is welcomed with groans, or
even with silence. The player who makes
an error and is jeered for his effort feels
that what he tried to do is not appre-
ciated, and his work is necessarily af-
fected. The batter who strikes out be-
fore the puzzling curves of the opposing
pitcher Is not heartened by the derisive

Another charge is that he il preparing

President Yuan. in a public letter ad-
dressed to the leaders Of political thought
in China, denounces both charges. and
as to the latter says:
Il have no ambition to hold the Office
of president beyond the present term,
and the length of that term is as yet
undecided by statute. But / have an
ambition to see China firmly established
in republican ways, her finances in good
condition. industry awake in all the

and fed; and having certain ideas as to

nifty to test them.
Lucky man! No Baltimore platform
lies across his path. second term is
not under discussion. and cannot come
under discussion until the length of the
first is determined.
But how long may this security last?
Suppose some Chinese statesman with
his eyes on the presidency raises the
point, and begins agitation for fixing the
length of the presidential term and de-
claring against a second term in the Chi
nese White House. Such movement
would have to be met by President Yuan.
He would have to show his hand.
The task he sets for himself is very
large one. and will take years for exc
cution Chinese finances are much out

ern methods, is awake in no state. Great
numbers of the people are extremely
poor.
To change all this, and develop pros
porous, Industrious intelligent population,
capable of self-government and devoted
to it's principles. will require long time
and highly skillful direction. 1t could
not be done under one president, starting
in youth and reaching a great age. And
President Yuan has turned the half-cen-
fury mark.
But in whatever he does toward so
noble an end he will have the sympathy
and best wishes of all the occidental peo-
pies, who are observing China and her
progress closely.

A Park at Oxon Run.

The proposition of residents of the sec
ton of the District lying south of Ana
costa that the property adjacent to
Oxon run. which flows into the Potomac
south of that region, be taken as a pub
lie park is worthy of early considera-
tion by the Commissioners and by Con-
gress. This is an exceptionally beauti-
full stretch Of country, comparable in
many respects with the Rock Creek
Park and indeed the only watered tract
Of land in the District suitable for park
creation which remains unpreserved for
purposes of public pleasure. 1t is I'M
doubtedly due to the southeastern por
ton of the District that attention be
given to it in the matter of park facili-
ties and the opportunity offers favorably
for the creation of d public reservation
of exceptional attractiveness. The ex-
istence of a watercourse in a public
park immensely adds to it's value as such.
There is a peculiar appropriateness in
the suggestion of the Oxon run tract for
park preservation. 1t lies at the extreme
end of the District from Rock Creek
Park, balancing it geographically. If
this area were added to the park spaces
of the capital the District would possess
two reservations unsurpassed anywhere
in the world in point of natural features,
and tract possessing unusual natural
beauties would be saved from encroach-
ment. a project for an immediate sur
vey of this land with recommended tons
for the taking of such portions as would
best be suited for park establishment,
would put the matter practically in hand,
and 1t IS to be hoped that the Commits
sioners will place this subject before
Congress promptly, so that advantag &c
may be taken of the present low rates
at which the land may be bought, before
the development Of this section as a
suburb of Washington has added to the
cost. 1t is the duty of Congress to in
sure the discovery of every possible area
suitable for park creation in the District
following out the policy long ago es-
tablished and carried into effect in the
creation of Rock Creek Park. Ultimately
the region south of the Anacostia will b.
thickly populated, and a park at Oxon
run would be of great value to the i'm
mediate community. while providing an
additional attraction for all the dwellers
of the District.

The Graduates.

The young men and women who are
stepping from the platforms with their
diplomas are emerging into different
field from that which spread before their
predecessors Of half century ago. There
are wider opportunities for every one. es-
pecially for the young women. The col
lege graduate is needed in business as
well as in the professions: and the fact
that mar holds a degree from an in
stitution Of higher learning does not bar
him-unless he bars himself-from occu-
pations which afford fair remuneration
and excellent prospects. There is no royal
road to success nowadays, any more than
in the past. and the college diploma is not
in itself the key to open the door that
bars the way. Yet the training of the
years spent in study proves an asset.
There is more mental agility, and there
is a broader knowledge. But is there
keener understanding of humanity? That
is a factor in any ones career and the
youth who has taken his degree in the
school of experience, passing from the
grades directly into occupation, may be
better equipped in this respect than the
holder of brightly sealed and ribboned
diploma. The young woman of today can
look to numerous chances to become self
sustaining. Matrimony no longer appears
as the only outlet from completely de-
pendent existence. Medicine, law, art,
science. business-all are open. Prejudice
against the woman in everyday affairs
has disappeared SO completely that no
woman has reason to feel conscious of
her sex If she undertakes any line of
work. Regardless of the question of suf-
frage. this broadening of the range of
nv fS rs h.
gratifying phases of the present day 1t
may have served to narrow the field of
man somewhat. but the resulting COM
petition for place and for success has

When Uncle Jim gets up to make
A speech on topics grave,
The men folks sit up. wide awake.
An children all behave.
His voice like music floats aloft,
Or roars like distant thunder,
We hear his accents loud or soft
With mingled joy and wonder.
He runs for Office now and then,
By general consent,
And gets sent to defeat by men
Not near SO eloquent.
The way his fortune seems to balk,
Has often set us scoldin'.
Although we'd rather hear him talk
Than have him officeholdin'.
OF course there isn't any way
To reach perfect state,
But all of US expect some day
To see Improvements great.

VIII tend to office-seekin'.

To do the public speakin'.

These new rumors of impending war in

all the logic of those journalists who had
figured it out that there Is now no chance
for further disturbance in the south of
Europe.

The Independence Day Fund.

In the days when there was no reStrlc-
ton of fireworks and every citizen could
indulge in Independence day powder
burning without restraint, and the hospi
tails were crowded that day with MANNED
patients and the fire department was
working desperately to save the city
from destruction, the Fourth Of July cost
each Individual considerable sum. Tens
of thousands of dollars were spent In
senseless noise and smell-prOducing ex-
plosions 1t was all lively and supposed
ly patriotic but it was costly. No one
can deny that the personal expense OF
the Fourth few years ago bore heavily
upon the head of the family, when all the
items were reckOned.
Now the Fourth is celebrated different
ly. There is no promiscuous fireworks
display, no squandering Of dollars in fire.
crackers, no burning of powder. The
head of the family saves large sum
each year. Perhaps he spends some of 1t
in paying for picnics and excursions; pos
sibly he contributes to a neighborhood
fireworks display. In the main, however,
he is in pocket by a considerable amount
of money.
An Independence day celebration is now
planned for this year which will give
great pleasure and entertainment to
multitude of people. probably all Wash
ington. There will be a pageant which
will delight the eye and give food for
thought and expressively symbolic the
significance of the occasion. There will
be other features. such as>athletic sports,
and formal celebration, the dedication
of historic tablets and day and night
| q To oil No. inc
ton has never had so full, SO significant,
SO attractive and instructive an observ-
ance of the day as that which is now
planned.
This program will cost, according to
the present modest estimates. about ST.
500. This is a very small sum of money
for a community of $4,000 people to
spend upon the celebration of the ma
TONS birth. To date less than 500 of
this amount has been raised. 1t Is neces-
sary to make contracts, to provide prop
critics, to hire bands and otherwise to
prepare, with the definite assurance of
the funds forthcoming. At yesterdays
committee meeting ways and means were
discussed rather discouragingly, but 1t
cannot be accepted that there Is not
enough patriotism and civic spirit in
Washington to finance this extremely
economical celebration. A tit of the
money spent heretofore on destructive
and senseless powder explosions would
abundantly yield the means to give the
city glorious Fourth. Everybody should
be proud to give, even little. No sum
is too small to help. Let the Fourth fund
swell rapidly and pass the mark set by
the committee, with the result OF making
this national birthday occasion bigger
and better than ever before.
