American ciyic peveIopment.

4 rom the washington star.
The recent convention of the Amer
lean Civic Association in this city was
ID remarkable demonstration Of the
capacity for organization, which is
,pne of the conspicuous characteristics
OF the people of this country. This
association was organized ito make
American living conditions clean,
heaithful. attractive" Its member
ship includes men and women who in
various lines of activity throughout
the United States are striving TO this
end in detail seeking to make mu-
! inequalities more effective conserva-
tors OF the public health and the gem
eral advancement of the people, and
who are also trying on a national
splane to establish and maintain a
1'higher standard Of living, with es-
ipecial reference to the utilization of
our resources for the education and
betterment of all classes. The pro-
gram of papers read and addresses
delivered before the meetings OF the
association is in itself indicative Of
the widespread interest which is
,staken by the American people in mat
tiers that up to q. comparatively recent
time have been ignored and neglected,
and the fact that so largely attended
q meeting could be held, with such
Encouraging reports of progress
Achieved, is a token of the gratifying
! pfogress that has been made toward
awakening public interest in these
hitherto unconsidered subjects.
Those who are responsible for the
recent meeting have occasion to con-
graduate themselves upon the fact
that out of the thirty four men and
women who had been announced 10

sWere actually present. This is the
more significant in view of the fact
that all of these speakers came to
Washington for this convention be-
4 cause of their real love of the work
t.and at their own expense. 1t is
g4doubtful whether such a record car

Divine Dynamite"

one knows who has heard the waves
of cheering at a great football game,
no force can move men in masses so
quickly and with such sure effect
as rhythm.
Consequently, when the men of an
army find in some melody OF the
street or music hall the quality that
supplies that need, they make the
tune their own, in utter disregard of
the canons Of patriotism and musical
taste. Singing their chosen song, they
find themselves in mood in which
all of them receive fresh stores OF
courage The power that accom-
plishes 1t may well be called, as the
Russian soldiers call it. divine dyna-

Among the lawyers of the Amerl-
can bar of the mid-years of the past
century none stood higher, at least
in certain departments of Jurispru-
dence. than the late w. .. Bartlett
He was classed with the aplest con
stitutionalist lawyers of his time. In
Civil War days his services were ire
ouently requested by members OF the
Cabinet of President Lincoln ana &C
casionally President Lincoln took
counsel of him.
Mr.. Bartlett was an intimate per-
sonel friend of Charles A. Dana.
Each maintained profound fespecl
and admiration for the other. Their
relations were those Of the closest
intimacy and this was all the more
remarkable because Mr.. Dana IRE
auented the most cultivated society
of New York and numbered anlo =
his personal friends the 1ofenost
American intellects of his time,
whereas Mr.. Bartlett was sometnlne
of a recluse, finding his nappiest
nooments in his law office, which was
in the building occupied for the most
part by the New York Sun.
For Mr.. Bartlett Mr.. Dana has
esnecial admiration as the master Oh
one of the finest of English styles.
His spoken and his written words
were perfect examples of what the
English language is capable OF. NO

To share s65O,Oo0 with Employees owing
to Shortened Hours.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-Ten thousand
employees of the Crane Company will
share in a $650,000 Christmas gift this
year as a partial recompense for the
shrinkage in wages that resulted
from lost time during the last year.
according to the announcement of F.
T. Crane, Sd, yesterday.
Business all over the country has
been much depressed this year, es-
pecially since the beginning of the
war, and it has been difficult to keep
the manufacturing plants running
even on short time" said a statement
by the board of directors.
while the Crane Company kept
its full force, it was necessary to
shorten the hours, and this resulted in
a serious shrinkage in the mems
wages, a condition which was re-
GREETED but could not be avoided, as
no market could be found for the
quantity of product turned out when
running to capacity"

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES

lie spiritedness on the part of an in
creasing number of American citi-
zens.
American life cannot fail TO be
made cleaner, more healthful and
more attractive through such en-
deavors. A frequent criticism of the
Western civilization is that IL has
developed material prosperity with
out sufficient heed for the cultured
welfare of the people, and now this
need is being supplied through just
such organizations as the American
Civic Association. The maintenance
of the headquarters Of this associa-
ton here in Washington and the
holding here usually of it's annual
conventions is most appropriate, for
Washington, is, az it should be, the
centre point of inspiration along the
lines of this development. The Dis
trict cannot fail itself to benefit
through the constant centring OF
of constructive thought by such a
large representation of citizens upon
it as an object lesson in American
civics.
The Real Christmas This Year.
From the Baltimore News.
Perhaps it will be better for us all
in the end that war is emphasizing
its horrors just at the period of the
year that we are most accustomed to
associate with peace, and that IL is
teaching its lesson not only in Eu-
rope but with grim and painful
severity over here. But half the les
son, perhaps none of it, would have
been learned had not the iron entered
into our own soul, had not the de-
vastation of Belgium had something
of counterpart in our own country.
AS it is, the handwriting Of war is
to be seen on this side OF the At
lantic, as we'll as on the other, in
multiplied human suffering and acute
distress. The Christmas season and
the Christmas message come when a
great part of the world is practically
arrayed in arms against all that they
mean, and when we begin to wonder
how far they represent any real force
in the life of mankind.

which the season should inspire and
