The High Cost of Saving.

Philadelphia is trying to raise $4,000 to cover
the expenses of revival campaign by Billy Sum-
day. to begin in January. 1t is explained by the
finance committee that part of this fund will
go to Mr.. Sunday compensation, that the re-
vivalist will receive no other compensation than
the free will offering of the people the last day
of his campaign. The committee will build a
tabernacle and a nursery, lease a house for Mr..
Sunday, and pay all the expenses of entertaining
his party.
Billy Sunday has had great success as re-
vivalist but $4,000 for the expenses of religious
revival in one city which has the reputation of
being church town, suggests decided change
in respect from the old revivals of half CEN
tury ago, to which Mr.. Sundays campaigns have
been likened. The old backwoods revivalists
preached that salvation is free and they illustrated
the text in their own simple lives and their work
without thought of compensation or expense in
connection with their efforts to convict the people
of their sins and to convert them to better life
They rode through the woods and across the
bleak praires in winter, found lodging where they
could, and scorned the preacher with money in his
purse.
But times have changed and in nothing more
decidedly than in revivas and methods of conduct
ing revivals 1t will cost $4,000 to inaugurate the
revival of Billy Sunday in Philadelphia Free will
offerings will follow at each meeting. 1t is like
the guarantee for national political convention,
even to the suggestion for entertainment of the
leaders and their followers.
1t is the refinement of the revival when there
must be provided nursery in connection with the
tabernacle. Why not an emergency hospital for
the treatment of those who may be injured in the
crush to hear the revivalist or those who may be-
come nervously deranged in listening to his trades
against the sins of society, shocked by his slang
language of the street and the wild places of the
earth, as he commands them to shit the trail"
The Philadelphia papers report that many
people in that city without work and suffering
the common wants of humanity. The American
people appealed to daily to aid the suffering in
Belgium where millions of people are said to be
starving. and to aid the Red Cross in its work on

In offering amendment to the immigration
bill to except from the proposed lteracy test for
the next five years Begians seeking home in the
United States, Senator John Sharp Williams said:
81 would provide that those should be excepted
from this test whose country has been subjected
to conquest because it would not permit itself to
be invaded More 1 should not Senator say
The Senator's last sentence if not ioquacious, was
eloquence itself. If he deemed that strict neu-
tralty demanded that he refrain from an argu-
ment in support of his amendment, does he believe
that the Senate can enact it into law without in
fringng? If the iteracy test is kept in the bill the
exemption of the Belgians will be difficult of ac-
complishment, even though the whole country
might favor it.
The Washington herald., 1914-12-21

The acquittal by New York jury of man who
shot and killed his son-in-law, an unarmed boy was
apparently based in part on the unwritten law and
in part the plea of the slayer that he was drunk
at the time; but no doubt the sensational and-as
regarded by some observers-wel staged appeal
the sympathies of the jurors strongly influenced
their verdict At all events, the verdict set the
written law at naught and established in New York
a dangerous precedent for which however it must
be said in justice, the State is not noted. That
the man whom the jury set free fired a number of
shots into the body of defenseless boy was ad-
mitted, the defense being that the deed was COM
mitted in heat of passion infamed by liquor.
The law provides the penalty in such cases, but
twelve men sworn to carry out the law ignored
it, to the detriment of the community.

By Squeezing the Railroads.

By means of the extraordinary bookkeeping OF
the Postmaster General he represents that his de-
partment has surplus of $35ooooo. This,
he says, has securely placed it upon "a self-sus.
tanning basis" and there will be "no danger of re-
curing deficiencies" unless unusual conditions
should arise. Yet there would have been a deficit
but for the vast volume of business credited to the
parcel post. The profits from that service have
been secured by squeezing the railroads They
have been made the camel that has had to carry
all this extra burden 1t is rather omnous that he
should predict continued surplus, on the basis of
the past year, because that would mean that the
railroads could expect no better treatment for the
future than has been gwen them since the parcel
post was established. Had they received fair paw
for their services it is plain enough that there
would have been no surplus FThe recommended
tons of this Cabinet officer are in some cases
almost grotesquely frealish. He is still obsessed
by the idea that the government should take over
the telephone and telegraph business. He wants

If it is true, reported that official neglect
and delay in the District Building are responsible
for deferring the beginning of work on a number
of municipal buildings, principally schools, it is
indeed deplorsble state of affairs Washington's
school facilities inadequate and there is urgent
demand that all the projects for which money has
been appropriated should be pushed to completion.
Besides, the number of unemployed workmen is
far above normal this winter, and the District
officials should be the last to put obstacles in the
way of their employment. No reasonable expla-
nation is forthcoming of the long delay in the
work of restoring the Western High School,
burned last April and other projects are reported
as behindhand. Very few new projects are pro-
ded for in the appropriation bill for the next fiscal
