The Y. NJ. C. A is of more i'm
portance in Washington than in any
other city in the country, declared Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels last night

big membership campaign now being
conducted by the local Young Mems
Christian Association.
Washington belongs to everybody,
to every citizen of the republic" ex-
planned the speaker, who was the
guest of honor of the occasion. We
all are proud of it whether we live
in North Carolina or in Maine. Wash
ington is the city to which men look
for guidance in matters of state, and
il ought to be a city set upon a hill
to which men look for guidance in
examples of moral and religious cit
izenship.
Owes Young Men Opportunities.
Therefore, you men have a pecul-
lar duty. Every day there comes to
Washington some young man from
Texas, California, Massachusetts and
other States by way of the civil serv-
ice examinations. You attract to the
Capital the men of best talent and
highest ambition from all over this
county. Washington owes 1t to these
young men to give them the best sur
roundings and opportunities.
Washington is proud of its Capitol, OF
its Washington Monument, of all its
public buildings, but it is prouder of its
men, especially of its young manhood,
who raise its honor as high as the monu-
ment"
