The Double Gross
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author Of "At Good Old siWnEh."

n these tumultuous days we hear
much about the iron cross, the
/ victoria cross. the Cross of the
Legion of Honor, the Cross of st. Mike
and other famous crosses. They are
given to soldiers who have Deen un-
usually frivolous with deaLh "hlle
lodging him on the battlefield.
The giving of crosses has always
been mark of honor IN Ine OIuSI
countries A European soldier WIN
wade neck deep in gore and perform
deeds of UNPARALLELED heroism in order
to win one of these small pieces OF
metal worth SCI per gross, ribbons
We do not use the cross in military
proceedings in this country; but the
double cross is very well known.
The double cross is decoration used
generally, in times of peace. 1t IS
hung upon a victim by the man VINO
designed it just before the said de-
siener goes away to a safe place.
The double cross is something a
man doesn't want, didn't expect to
get and has already paid for. The
earliest instance of this decoration on
record was that in which Jacob. after
having served seven years for Rachel,
: got Leah palmed off on him instead.
The double cross is not conferred
for extreme bravery but for extreme
confidence. When man IS so con-
fidine that he trusts the entire world,
he is a logical candidate for the double
cross Of the first order. II he doesn't
hire a real estate agent to bargain with
a stranger to double the price of a
farm on him and slpit the proceeds
he will place his trust in political
ally who will trade that trust to the
highest bidder and get appointed to
office on the proceeds.
When a man has had the double
cross hung on him he does not be
come proud and noble like the recipi-
ent of the iron cross. He first gives
a wild snort of surprise and then pro-

Not a Standing Invitation.

About year ago by a rather elaborate and
impressive process Washington clergymen repre-
senting majority of the religious denominations,
associated with certain delegations of laymen. de-
cided to invite Billy Sunday to come to the Capt.
tai and save its people Perfunctorily the invita-
ton was declared unsnimous-which it was an
nounccd was the first of Sundays peremptory con-
ditions-though many voted for IT who did not
approve of it. Sunday has never accepted the invi-
tation though il is now intimated that he may be
induced to come, but not before 1917. Since APP
pearing in Philadelphia and in California, where
the exposition throngs gathered, Sunday has been
playing" the small but prosperous manufacturing
cities of the East, while Washington waited for
his nod but it is no secret that the gate receipts
have shown discouraging falling off. The init
nation that Washington may be accorded its turn
will surprise one; we have cherished the highest
hopes all along that the time would come when the
Capitals comparative attractiveness as a field OF
operations would be recognized. We had even in
dulged in the expectation that II would come be-
fore 1917 and not yet convinced that IT will be
necessary to wait so long.
But the question naturally suggests itself
whether the invitation extended year or so ago
ought extend to the year 1917. Is it not posi-
bic that we have been saved, will be saved, be-
fore 1917 or that those who responsible for
the invitation, having given the subject calm and
serious cons liberation, may have concluded that We
never were really in such imminent danger as to
require the heroic nlinistration of Billy Sunday
Or, if we have not already got beyond saving
while waiting for Sunday, may not go all the
way to perdition before 1917?
There is still another aspect 10 the situation.
If the visitation is to be put off until 1917, the
Capital may be too busy f6r saving purposes. The
Presidential Inauguration and the preparations for
it will occupy great deal OF the attention OF our
doomed population, and it is not altogether i'm
possible that change of administration may send
many sinners hence and bring to Washington to
fill their places the anonted from sections OF the
country already visited by Sunday
The Capital is generally recognized thor
oughly law-abidng and moral community and
those who live here convinced of it. 1t is moi
necessary to ndorse this appraisal to recognize
doubt to the necessity, the advisa
bility. of having Sunday come. Even if we really
did need want him in 1914, it does not follow
that shall want him in 1917. The subject should
be reopencd and new expression of opinion in
vitcd before the old invitation that ought to have
expired by limitation is pressed upon the reluctant
evangelist.
