from the National Capitol
BY Stanton Lawton

1.-THE action of the Catholic Theatre
Movement, with Cardinal Farley's ap-
proval, is taken to protect the decent
people of New York against the filth
being portrayed on the stage in that
city" said Father Mcdonnell. But
these same plays, after having been
produced in New York, are frequently
presented in Washington and other
large cities, and therefore, the idea of
preparing white list of productions
fit to be seen will commend itself to all
clean-minded men and women"
Mgr. Russell said the movement for
pure plays should commend itself "a
vorably ito all who love innocent
amusement" He said. 1.-THE theatre
should be such that people in seeking
amusement would not constantly jeo-
pardise their sense of decency. Re-
fined immortality will do far more harm
on the stage than vulgar immortality.
The latter will repel: the former, by
its insidious poison, may injure with
out its victim realizing the harm"
Rev. Eugene A. Hannah, pastor of
st. Martins church declared, "the
women exercise the influence which
controls the stage, that the box Office
Is ballot box, and that according to
the vote Of the woman playgoers de-
pended the success of every play"
Father Hannah added that If the
woman theatregoers would stand to.
gether in the determination to refuse
support to plays that are Objectionable,
theatrical conditions would become
perfect.

Death Of Colonel James o'Hara.


Word has been received in Washing
ton of the death at Berkeley, Califor-
mia, of Colonel James O'Hara, retired,
who was not only great soldier, but
a great Catholic, and with his two
sons, perpetuated that fine old name
"O'Hara" in the United States Army.
Colonel O'aara was born in Ireland
on June 2, 1874, and in 1862 was ap-
pointed to the Military Academy from
New York. He graduated in 1866, and
was appointed second lieutenant,
and assigned to the 3rd Artillery, pass
ing through the grades of rank to
Colonel, until retired at his own re.
quest, after 40 years service, on No
vember /, 1903. He then went to
Berkeley, California, to live.
Colonel O'Hara was typical officer
being thoroughly military in every
thing he said and did, and was known
in Army circles as noted scholar, lin
quist and wit. He was distinguished
for bravery in the Philippine Islands
being mentioned in orders to the War
Department.
1t was Colonel O'Hara's custom
whenever the Chaplains were without
altar boys, to serve the Mass. to the
great edification of every man in the
regiment, and it was often said Of hin
that he was filed with faith, hope
charity, childlike humility and simplio
ity.
His wife was a convert being
brought into the church by him, and
all the children are devout Catholics
two sons and two daughters surviving
him.
The two sons are Lieutenant James
]. O'Hara, now on duty at the Military
Academy at West Point, AZ an instruct
or in the Department Of English and
History, and Iieuteant Edwin ]
o'dara. Of the 10th Company Of Coas1
Artillery at Fort DeRussy. H. T.

Two Battleships Authorized,

Authorization of two battleships BY
the Naval Affairs Committee of the
house is victory for the patriotic
sentiment of the nation, and it was
only by the narrow margin of three
votes that the advocates of three bat
tleships were beaten in the commit
tee. Fifteen members of the commit
tee. representing every section of the
country, voted for two battleships,
while only four members opposed the
program.
As reported to the house, the bill
fixes the building program for the
coming fiscal year as follows:
Two battleships of the highest speed
and largest possible radius of action,
to rank among the worlds dread
noughts; one powerful sea-going sub.
marine; six torpedo boat destroyers,
and three coast defense submarines
designed for use on the Pacific coast,
and four harbor defense submarines,
intended for use on the gulf coast and
at Panama.
The House naval affairs committee
made special preparation for the de-
tense Of the Pacific coast, it was said
because of information obtained from
the Pacific coast members of the
house, and from the executive depart.
ments (the exact nature of which was
not revealed) but which was evidently
considered important enough to war
rant the committee in going out OF
its way to prepare for any future at.
tack by Japan. The committee voted
to increase the number of submarines
from to 8, and directed the Secretary
Of the Navy to station three on the
Pacific coast. The vessels, according
t0sthe terms of the naval appropria.
ton bill, must remain on the western
coast.

For Catholic Chapel on Governors
Island.

For Catholic Chapel on Governors
Island.
The simple request of the Catholic
Church authorities, for permission to
erect chapel on Governors Island, in
New York harbor, and the refusal of
the War Department to grant the re.
quest, bastng its decision that there
is no authority Of law for the erection
Of a sectarian chapel on a military
reservation, has brought many letters
Of appeal and requests for letters of
explanation, in view of the fact that an
Episcopal Chapel is on Governor Is.
land. and that the Young Mems Chris.
tian Association hold services there
! in structure built by that organiza.
ton.
The explanation furnished, shows,
that the present (Episcopalian) chapel
on Governors island was rebuilt in
1905. 1t being held by the War Depart
ment that, continuing the grant of
1876, the date Of the revocable license
was given for building the chapel,
was not violating the decision of the
Attorney General, that the Secretary
Of War is not authorized to grant a
revocable license for the purpose of
building chapel on a military res
ervation, the chapel building being in
the nature of permanent structure.
AS to the Y. M. c. A. feature, the
reason given, is. that the privilege was
granted in April, 1900, for temporary
structure, on the grounds that it was
a NON-SECTARIAN building.
The next step is now to take the
affair to Congress for action, for the
easiest way to relieve the situation
from any embarrassment is to apply
to Congress for an act authorizing the
Secretary Of War to grant the desired
permission for erection of Catholic
chapel on Governors Island, where
there is an urgent need for one.
Let us hope bill for the purpose
will be drawn at once. presented i'm.
mediately. and that congress will grant
a privilege to Catholics which other
; denominations enjoy.

King Louis III of Bavaria has just
conferred the highest distinction in
his power to give upon Cardinal Mer-

Royal Order of St. Hubert, the most
ancient and noble of the Bavarian
crown. The order was instituted by
Gerard v. Duke, Of Juliers and Berg,
in remembrance of his victory on St.
Hubert's day, November 8, 1444, over
Duke Arnold d'Egmont, of Guelders.
The order and its founders have q

United States, this kept journalistic
mountebank says: "They (the peo-
pie of the United States) have had
enough of pusillanimous pedagogues
and vainglorious Missionaries. They
have had enough of unpatriotic and
impractical theorists whose ideas of
courtesy to foreign peoples is disloy-
atty to their own. They have had
enough of anaemic students of the
outgrown past and unbalanced ideal
lists of an impossible future. Our
people desire and need a modern man
"a man of flesh and blood, of heart
and brain, man of patriotic senti-
ment and patriotic achievement,
man who lives in the present and
who understands the conditions and
requirements, the aims, the aspira-
tions, the activities, the actualities of
to-day"
That is the message Hearst sends
to the German people. 1t is the i'm
preston he would give them of the
President of this republic. And yet
this journalistic jumping jack, this
special agent of special privilege, this
tool of Wall street, this pal of Steel
Trust Gary, this betrayer of labor
and pimp of capital, poses as an au-
thority on patriotism.
1t is said to be a popularity of the
insane that they think all others are
crazy while they themselves are sane.
If there be anything in this, it might
be wise precaution for Hearst to
consult an aienist and find out just
how his wheels go round. His men
tai processes may need expert tin
kering.

improving Car SerVice.-Street car
service on surface lines could be
greatly improved if team and auto
traffic were kept off the tracks. Cars
could make better time and more of
them could be run for the accommo-
dalton of the people.
Autos and wagons standing near
the curb make it impossible for wag-
ons and trucks to keep off the tracks
altogether if they travel the streets
on which car lines are located
But there are streets through
which this traffic could pass without
interference with car traffic.
Street car tracks were built for
cars to run on-cars which carry
people. They were not built as a
driveway for vehicles. This vehicle
freight traffic on the track holds cars
back and makes people who ride in
street cars lose time.
The real distance between two
points in Chicago is not measured in
miles, but in minuteS-the time it
takes to cover that distance By
keeping vehicles off the street car
tracks the distance between the CEN
ter of the business section and out
lying points could be lessened from
80 to so per cent. The next time you
ride on a street car just notice how
much time you lose by the motorman
being held back while vehicles get off
the tracks
There could easily be much better
regulation of traffic, with a vastly i'm
proved street railway service, if
proper restrictions we're placed on
the use of street car tracks by We
hicles.
