Getting Ready
To Open Fight
STEPS TAKEN TO BEGIN CON.
GRESSI0NAL CAMPAIGN IN
FIRST DISTRICT.

Steps toward opening the Republi-
can congressional campaign in the
First district are progressing rapidly
in ever county. An army of bill pos
ters started out in Brooke, Ohio, May
shall, Harrison, Marion and Lewis
counties today, posting on fences,
barns, poles and trees along all the
highways and byways cards bearing
the inscription, white for Con-
gress'
Though perhaps not near so eX-
pensive as other advertising cam
paigns in previous years, Senator
Whites bill board attack" VIII be
carried out thoroughly and system
atically, under the direction of eX-
perts who know their business from
"a to lizard"
The opening of the advertising
campaign marks further advance
of the skirmish lines in the pending
fight. Other evidences of activity are
daily becoming manifest. Yesterday
arrangements were completed by the
Ohio county committee for taking
over the entire second floor of the
Arbenz building, opposite the cit'
hall, for congressional, senatorial
and county headquarters. The open
ing will take place some time the
latter part of next week. The exact

come to attend the state fair.
County Chairman George Phillips
will have charge of the county head
quarters, while representatives of the
congressional committee will be con-
stantly on the job to look after Sen
ator Whites interests. The congress
sional, senatorial and county cam
paigns will be conducted jointly.
Though the European war has
overshadowed political issues to a
certain extent, the issues at stake in
the coming fight are beginning to
make their way toward the center of
the stage and interest is rapidly be-
coming stirred up over the entire dis
trict. Inside Of another week 1t is
believed that the firing along the line
of battle will have become general.

An Aid to Fire
Prevention
EFFECT ON INSURANCE CosrPA
MES WITH STOCK MARKETS
CLOSED IS EXPLAINED.

Five insurance men are endeavor-
ing to impress upon the public the
Importance of special care in the
matter of fire prevention at this par
ocular time.
Normal losses have been heavy,
ma if a serious cOnflagratiOn should
come the existing financial and
banking conditions would produce
an unusual result. 1t would be nee
2ssary for the companies to sell
argc amounts of securities to pay a
Joss of that magnitude, and with the
stock exchanges closed this would
be impossible, no matter what great
sacrifices they might be willing to
make as to price in order to meet
heir obligations promptly. a con-
'lagratiOn just at this time, with its
destruction of values and its disturb
lnce of financial conditions would
be serious.
That the situation is appreciated
by business men generally is shown
~ the action of Marshall Field &.

Arthur HawXhurst, manager of the
Insurance department, is as follows:

airs in Europe. which affects tho

HOME OF CHARLES CARROLL
BOUGHT BY CITY OF BALTI-
MORE FOR A MUSEUM.

At last after years of planning and
decades of discussion by representa-
tives of historical societies, Baltimore
is ready to rehabilitate the wreck of
what was once, without doubt, the
city's proudest mansion-the home in
which Charles Carroll, Catholic signer
of the Declaration of independence,
died, at Front and Lombard streets.
The municipal authorities purchased
the building recently for $4,000.
In all probability, when restored
and refurnished, the mansion will be
used as a museum for objects of local
historical value.
But there is great deal of work
ahead of those who would bring back
a semblance of the buildings original
stateliness. Just now it is occupied
as tailor shop and it is sad spec.
tacle. The mansion-for the name
still clings, though it is a mockery-
was erected about 1900 by Richard
Cation though, according to belief,
Charles Carroll, Mrs. Cations father,
furnished the funds wherewith to
build Certain it is that the Signer OF
the Declaration of independence made
the mansion his town home. 1t was
from this house that he went forth to
welcome Lafayette on the landing of
the French general in Baltimore at
Fort McHenry in 1924. 1t was here
that Charles Carroll died November
IA, 1882.

SUCH rs FAME.

Every well-informed student of
American history knows that,
were it not for the laborious and
pains-taking researches of the late
Martin |. j. Griffin Of Philadel-
phia, John Barry would never
never have received due credit as
"the Father of the American
Navy" Mr.. Griffin devoted many
years to delving into historical
records in order to establish Bar
ry's title to recognition by the
American people. In fact, one of
the strongest claims which Martin
I. j. Griffin has to the grateful
remembrance of posterity is the
fact that he discovered Barry and
placed him in his proper niche in
the temple Of fame.
And yet, when Barry's statue
was unveiled in Washington few
weeks ago and speakers of nation
al prominence dwelt on his claims
to recognition by this Republic, no
mention was made of the part
which Martin |. J. Griffin played
in rescuing Barry's name from
oblivion. Although the speakers
drew much, if not all, Of their in
formation about Barry from Grif-
fms work, not one of them gave
him any credit for what he had
done. This was what Griffin him
self anticipated when he wrote
when the monument to Commo-
dore Barry is unveiled in Wash

The delegates to the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church held in Chicago the last
week in May went on record as
favoring a federal law on divorce.
The declaration adopted by the
assembly read as follows: "That
the committee on Christian life
and work be authorized and di-
rected to organize a campaign of
education in our churches and
communities as to the sacredness
Of marriage and the evils Of di-
vorce with a view to their taking
definite steps to secure improved
legislation
We doubt the wisdom of try
ing to cure the divorce evil by
legislation; but it is something,
at least, to have the Presby-
terians take a stand on the ques-
ton. If the sects would only
adopt the attitude of the Catholic
Church on the question Of divorce
and consistently uphold and en-.
force the indissolubility of the
marriage tie and the sacred char
acter of family life, they would
do more to eliminate the divorce
evil than any amount of legislat-
ing which is not supported and
enforced by an intelligent public
opinion based on the teaching OF
Christianity.

Poor old General Miles came,
almost unheralded and certainly
unhonored, to Minneapolis last
week and read an address in the
Pence Auditorium under the aus
pices of the so-called Guardians of
Liberty of which he is shining
light. Unless he came out much
more strongly in favor of the fun
damental principles of his organi-
zation than the reports in the pub
lie press indicate, his visit must
have proved anything but stimu-
lating to his co-Guardians. He in
dulged in the veriest platitudes
about patriotism and liberty.
Many people think General Miles
must be in his dotage or he would
not ally himself with this un-
American organization; but we
know from good authority that
even in his prime he cherished an
anti-Catholic bigotry unworthy of
an intelligent American citizen,
unbecoming an officer of the
American army and a public off
cial paid by money contributed by
Catholics and non-Catholics alike
