Declared Purpose of Movement.

THE action of the Catholic theater
movement, with Cardinal Farley's APP
prevail. is taken to protect the decent peo-
pie 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 Wash

fore, the idea of preparing white list
of productions fit to be seen VIII COM
mend itself to all clean-minded men and
women.
Mgr William r. Russell said the move
ment for pure plays should commend It
self favorably Ito all who love innocent
amusement" He said:
THE theater should be such that peo-
pie in seeking amusement would not con-
stantiy jeopardize their sense OF
decency. Refined immortality will do far
more harm on the stage than vulgar i'm
morality. The latter will repel: the
former. by its insidious poison. may in

harm"

Much-Sought-After Speaker.

During all Mr. Fels' connection with
the business he maintained a system for
taking care of his employees that gained
wide reputation for himself and his
associates. From the time he aban-
doned his commercial activities to the
day he was taken III, he gave his time
almost exclusively to spreading the doc
trine of single tax and to his charitable
undertakings. He became deeply inter-
ested in Henry Georges propaganda in
1895. Mr.. FEELS methods of talking made
him one of tbs. most sought-after public
speakers in the United States and Great
Britain.
He gave a large part of his fortune to
purchasing l 800 acres at Hollesley bay,
colony for the unemployed. The property
was subsequently taken over by the
British government. Later he bought 600
acres at Maryland. Essex. England.

articles in which he extended the propa-
ganda and philosophy expounded by
Henry George. Mr.. Fels was a member
of the united commission taxation OF
land values of London.
a man of wide and large sympathieS
with all progressive matters intended for
the uplift of the poorer classes. Mr.. Fels
occupied a unique position Although he
was a man of great wealth. and was
supposed to be adding to his fortune all
the time in business enterprises, he was
indefatigible in his advocacy of the
single-tax doctrine. profit-sharinS and
cooperative schemes
Fought All Kinds of Monopoly.
He took firm stand against all kinds
of monopoly. and contended that the
private ownership of land and of the ma
terials needed to produce the necessities
of life was unjust and dishonest. His
opponents branded him as a socialist,
but he paid little attention to their criti-
cisms, and went about his work in the
face of great opposition.
anticipating the needs of profit-sharing
in large industries, Mr.. Fels and his
brothers probably were the pioneers in
that direction In this country. In April,
1910. such a proft-sharing plan was
started in the Fels factory here. At
that time more than $4,000 was dis
tributed to the employees as their share
of the profits made by the company
in the preceding year.
Mrs. Fels also made the factory
model of cleanliness and provided every
comfort for the employees.

Linsly this year has won three
games u Of four and would probably
have won the fourth. had not three of
the best players been out OF the game

and is on edge for the game. Since
yne defeat of Franklin college OF New
Athens. Ohio. three weeks ago, by
Linsly, by an overwhelming score. the
Cadets have no more respect for col
lege teams than for any other variety.
Captain Gibson will be back in his
old place at left half.able TO display
his remarkable speed and lodging.
Hunter, h big fun back. was never
in finer condition for a good fight and
should give the usual exhibition of
ground gaining ability. Jasper, Mes
bitt. Warneke. Hough, Smith, Elig.
Metzner, Weimer. Woods. Schenk and
Reid are in perfect condition. Stroeh-
mann's great loss is filled by Andreas,
Schenerlein and Peterson. and Dy
shifts Of other players. The substi-
tutes. Kyle, Klieves. Cooey. Bedford
and Biery. are anxious for a chance.
In every way Linsly is IN position TO
- -
game, whoever wins. and a fine. spir
tied. tricky game to see. Hundreds
Of tickets AVE already been disposed
