CHURCH SUNDAY Is ONE
MONTH FROM TOMORROW

Never before in the history OF the town
has 50 much interest been created in
church going as at the present time.
Community campaigns newspaper adver-
tising, union services. and special per-
sonal appeals have been attracting per-
sons to the Sunday services for months.
The elimination OF the movement would
appear to be reached on April 5, for on
that date Washington will hold its Go
to Church Sunday
Twelve of the bureaus and departments
OF the United States government have
already definitely agreed to assist in the
movement When consulted about the
matter. the secretaries and their disburs-
ing officers were enthusiastic in their
praise and offered to cooperate in the
matter of placing announcements In the
pay envelopes to be issued four DAYS be-
fore the event All of the disbursing Of
fcers who have been approached have
agreed to undertake the work which will
advertise the day among the employees OF
the United states resident in this city.
Pubic service corporations are no less
eager to fall in with the spirit Of the
movement. Sixty-five thousand families
In Washington will have the message
carried to their doors by the Washing
ton Gas Light Company. It has been
agreed that the slogan Go to church

every statement issued at the close Of
this month. Expense seems to be no
consideration to the men in control.
In addition to the gas company. other
corporations have under consideration
special schemes for advertising the
event The church news bureau, which
is conducting the movement. has an
nounced that in a few days banners. the
material for which was donated by 8.
Kann. Sons & Co., will appear on delivery
wagons going to all parts of the city.
Window show cards will soon be placed
in all parts of the town. Hand bills. too,
will be distributed by volunteer workers.
In short, every conceivable practicable
scheme will be. adopted for circulating
the matter.
The officials of the District government
have been asked to circularize their en-
ployes and the materials for distribution
are now in the hands of the printers.
Among the first to respond to the move
ment were a number of the more prom
inent banking institutions which have
announced their willingness to assist by
small contributions of money. \ check

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

The teaching OF Christian Science re-
garding Substance will be presented
tomorrow In the two Christian Science
Churches in the first quotation to be made
from the UNCONVENTIONAL textbook. 1t is
this: In Christian Science. substance is
understood to be Spirit, while the op-
ponents Of Christian Science believe sub
stance to be matter. They think of mat
ter as something and almost the only
thing. and of the things which pertain
to Spirit as next to nothing, or as very
far removed from daily experience.
Christian Science takes exactly the op-
posite view"

FETTERS SHOULD FALL
FROM DOMESTIC TRADE
Tariff Bars Have Been Removed and
Internal Commerce Now
Needs Help.
STREET RAILWAY FIGURES

New York. Feb. 1s.-The Nall Street
Journal today says:
by profession the party now In power
IL favorably>inclincd to free trade But
the phrase should imply the removal OF
fetters. not only from foreign commerce,
but also from domestic trade 1t should,
for instance. mean the removal OF un-
natural restrictions from the railroad
business II this were done. vast ton
mage Of products which now never leave
their place of origin would circulate in
the channels OF trade.
How the street railways have thrived
under their more favorable circumstances
is shown by comparing their earnings
and expenses with those OF steam rail-
roads FOR the same years Their gross
and net earnings have risen at greater
rate than can well be explained by the
youthfulness OF the electric railway indus
try. Expenses. on the other hand. have
grown much slower than those of steam
railroads:

Electric railways in 1872 paid all oper-
aring expenses with 56.H. per cent Of
gross earnings, even as in 1902. but in
that time the expenses OF steam roads
advanced from 64.66 per cent Of gross to
e9e9 All these figures are as compiled
by various departments of the Washing
ton government. II the Interstate Com
merce Commission wants to save the
hundreds of thousands of dollars which
are being spent for a costly investiga-
ton. here is evidence enough in this
simple exhibit to warrant the advance
in freight rates.
Governmental control of rates is the
upper milestone which has ground down
gross earnings, and organized labor is
the neither milestone, as the operating
expenses show. The entire advance in
the latter since 1902 lies in the rise of
wages.
Had the railroads been able to control
their expenses as well as street railways
have, their 1912 net earnings would have
been at least S123, 300. 900 greater than they
actually were. This could support an ad
ditionaI capitalization OF nearly S2,50O,0oo,-
O00-a sum sufficient so to improve the
road. equipment and terminals of every
company in the country as to eliminate
delays in the handling of freight.
II the administration wants to help
every merchant and consumer in the
country. let it apply its free trade prin-
ciples to domestic commerce This means
allowing the railways to earn enough fer
necessary improvements TO handle freight
promptly, instead of hampering them
with new restrictions.
