MONSIGNOR RUSSELL
ATTACKS KENYON ACT
Pastor Says You Can't Make Peo-
pie Virtuous BY Law.

The Rev. william II, Russell. pastor
OF ct. Patrick's Church here, has ad-
dressed n caustic letter to the editor or
the Philadelphia puhlic Ledger In re-
gard to vice conditions In Washington.
The letter follows:
"In regard to the Kenyon law. re-
strictlon of vice in the District OF CO.
conditions In Washington arc worse now
than before this law was passed.
II base this assertion. first. on the tact
that I have been Obliged on several oc-
casions to send for the police TO nave
women removed from In front OF the
rectory because OF their vile Language
and because they were soliciting the
passing mon. on one occasion some
ladies' ir the parlor OF the rectory pro-
tested vigorously against remaining
there because these scenes were being
enacted under the rectory windows. we
had been obliged to send for the police
to remove men and women from the
front steps Of the rectory.
and women Of this class are seen pa
rading by the side OF the rectory: ms
was not the case before the Kenyon
law was passed. -,
young men that never before was there
so much soliciting on the streets ana l
AM convinced that many young men
have been enticed into wrongdoing VINO
would not nave Deen dppIOhOHSu ~ a.
IL the former conditions had prevailed.
Finally, ! was obliged to niaHe very
strenuous efforts to have the block In
which my mother lived kept free from
these characters, who were driven out
OF their old haunts and scattered
through respectable neighborhoods. In
order to put an end to this trouble. the
police stationed a detective at one end
OF the street in order that he might re-
port all people who went that way.
Since my mothers death six months
ago ! have not had occasion to eN-
| anime into conditions minutely In that
neighborhood. ] have been told that
my experience was not different from
that Of others in other parts OF the
'Tt IL impossible to make people
virtuous by a mere enactment OF law.
II religious convictions are not strong
enough to keep community sober and
clean, mere law will not do so; but II
| Will. as has been shown throughout the
| United States. have the effect of max

II regard these hysteric movements
such as the Kenyon law and the pro-

SENATORS FAIL TO
BLOCK NEW DEBATE
Continued from First PageJ


that the action taken yesterday IN nc
possible way met the views of the Pres
idcnt. And IL ! may give any credit Ia
the statements OF Senators who spoke
one way after they had voted another
] think the majority of the Senate is In
favor of warming Americans from trav-
cling on armed merchant ships.
THE resolution l have introduced d.
rectly meets this Issue raised by the
President. Sooner or later VIC will have
q vote on that resolution, and whether
II Is on n motion to table or on Its
merits, IL will carry an expression OF
the views of the Senate"
Senator McCllmbcr proceeded with III
argument in favor of warning. He said
Senators talk and differ on interna.
tional law, but there is one supreme
iaw-the law OF preservation. and tho
right OF that We must grant to every
nation.
''I believe that in the present contro.
versy, there Is so much doubt, as tc
which contention Is right that the least
this country can do is to- warn it'
citizens OFF vessels until the issue Il
settled.
And let us always remember Con,
Rress ls the final war-making body. the
supreme power, and let us not re-
linquish or shrink our responsibilities.
Senator McCumber. In the course OF
his remarks, was interrupted by sena-
tor Colt and others. He said:
"The question at least. Mr.. President
In Of such a nature and OF such deli
cacy that II seems to rue that II Is the
moral duty OF every patriotic American
TO relieve his country from embarrass-
ment by refralning from travelling on
armed vessels.
He has no right by his recklessness
or audscity. to endanger the good rela-
tions Of this country with any nation
now at war. And IL these propositions
be true. and / cannot sec how they
can be denied. II II Is the duty, of the
true American. irrespective OF legal
right. to refrain from travel OH such
armed vessels. then 1t logically follows
that Congress or the President may.
with entire propriety. call his attention
to that duty. and IL We had the power
even to enforce such duty.
IT do not think that Congress has tn,
power TO prohibit in time OF peace oul
people from travelink how and wher,
they will. We have, of course. the
power to refuse passports. / do moi
concede that such action would be al
admission OF the claim of any belli
gerent TO any new right, though ad'
nit 1t might embarrass the negotia
tions now going on between this ma
ton and Germany. But the Presiden
had requested this action. and W.
should meet It just as though It wer,
an original question"

Candidates should exercise
some consideration for the party
and some common sense in thei r
campaigns. Ifa candidate assails
his fellows in the race it is not
only in bad taste, but promotes
ill feeling and may furnish the
enemy a club to use after the
August primary. The people
are likely to get the notion that
the fellow who discusses the de.
merits of others has little or no
merit of his own, or has a record
he's trying to get away from.
A mud singing candidate doesn't
appeal to sensible people, and it
isn't at all probable that Demo

with President Wilson's address
to the the controversy with Ger
many, finally hit upon something
that didn't just suit it. CD.
enters a protest to the President
basing our position on the high
ground of serving humanity and
upholding the rules of interna.
tional law. This was too high
a plane for those in the habit of
thinking along partisan, narrow
and selfish lines. In other words,
according to the CD. the Presi.
dents position is right, but one
of the loftiest reasons for that
position was all wrong. In all
his reasons the President should
have been narrow and selfish, is
the logic of the G..D.'s argument.

$500, 100000 and the sacrifice of
thousands of American boys.

Wilson is anxious that the bill

of the country. The Democratic
