The Open FORUM.
NEW PAPER CRITICISED.
Herald Correspondent Comments
On Reforms Suggested for
District.

Editor, The Washington Herald:
"A newcomer in the newspaper field
proposes to remind Washingtonians OF
their shortcomings and to tell them
what they should do differently. With
startling headlines and other peculiar
yellow journal methods he announces
his purpose to outstrip competitors,
the propositions so far advanced,
though generally startling, fail to
arouse enthusiasm.
We refer more especially to three,
the first and most prominently ad-
vocated. First and foremost he en-
dorses tipping as a paramount duty.
condemning everybody who fails to
practice 1t on a liberal scale and
urging its general adoption. This
foreign Importation, quite the vogue
In snobbish circles, particularly in
the great Metropolis, has never ap-
pealed to Westinghouse as a de-
sirable innovation.
The average citizen here has no
money to throw away and when he
has paid reasonably for his food at
restaurant, fails to see any just
reason why he should pay, or help
pay, servants wages in addition. A
second, and even more preposterous
proposition, was that We should kill
of all the dogs for the reason that
they require food, and moreover may
possibly convey diseased
The many friends of Old Dog Tray,
in Washington, would protest most
vigorously against any such cold blood
ed suggestion. What a cruel return
for never failing faithfulness! We
have no. better friend and certainly
none other who would gladly lay
down his life in our defense. On the
battle fields Of Europe his race are
seeking for wounded soldiers, over
looked in the struggle, and assisting
in their relief. aside from usefulness
in many other ways.
In a third bid for public patronage
our newcomer is an advocate of uni
versal suffrage for the District. In
this he would find more sympathetic
support, but mainly from recent ar
rivals, like himself, without the ex-
perience Of old residents. Possibly,
too. he is not aware that suffrage has
had one trial in the District and been
gladly discarded for welI-known rea-
sons. Old citizens generally, even
now, would prefer to leave local leg
islation in the hands of Congress,
rather than trust a class of residents,
largely unreliable and irresponsible,
who would hold the balances of pow
er and whose vote would be on sale
to the highest bidder.

frightful. They would appear at

Defending The ''Old Maid
FATHER WYNHOVEN PAYS A
TRIBUTE TO THE ELDERLY
UNMARRIED WOMAN.

For one, I doff my hat to the old
maid! God bless her!" said the Rev.
Peter M. Wynhoven, speaking at the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the Chill
dren of Mary of st. Vincent de Pauls
parish, New Orleans, Louisiana. There
upon he paid the following tribute to
her:
"The single woman who has re-
NAMED single from the high motive of
devotion to duty, to father, mother, lit
tie sisters or brothers, or helpless ones
dependent upon her; the woman who
has not married because she scOrned
to give her hand where her heart could
never be; the lay-woman who, recog.
nizing that there are three distinct vo-
cations for women, and her vocation
being neither the religious nor the
married state, but to serve God in the
wpr2d in the place which it has pleased
Him to put her, goes bravely forward
in the life of the old maid, which is a
position full of honor and dignity,
when based upon duty and God; vo-
cation, regular and complete, and, as
Father Faber says, as distinctive and
real as the vocation of the Carmelite,
the Ursuline or the Franciscan, the vo-
cation to do Gods will in the work
which lies about us and which He has
given us to do
"Now, minated in the world, the
old maid has a vocation peculiar, spe-
cial, individual, and it is blessed
thing that so many young girls, not
called to the married state or the re-
ligious life, estimate the Importance of
God speaking to them through the
world around, and drawing them unto
these Sodalities of Our Blessed Mother
so that His designs may be better full
filled in them. Such women grow
beautifully, gracefully old, reaching
and measuring up to the full height of
true womanhood.
'And we may well repeat, What
would the world do without this old
maid? For she is good and kind and
unselfsh,s always thinking of how to
help and to please others for Gods
sake, fulfilling the words of st. Paul:
The unmarried woman thinks of the
things of the Lord, that she may be
holy, both in body and in spirit, and
the married woman thinks of the
things of the world that she may
please her husband
Most of the unhappiness and mis-
cry of man" continued Father Wyn-
hoven, lis created by selfishness, de-

Nazareth Academy.-On Tuesday
December II, the Sisters of the In
carnate Word and Blessed Sacrament
of Victoria, Texas, celebrated the fiji.
tieth anniversary of their establish.
ment in that city. They conduct the
Nazareth Academy there with nearly
three hundred pupils.
Huge Stamp contribution.-1n the
past year st. Ignatius College stu
dents, Chicago, have contributed about
100000 used stamps to the foreign
missions. Each month a package con
tanning from thirty to fifty pounds OF
stamps has been sent to the Society
OF the Divine Word, Techny, Ill.
National Shrine Funds Grow.-The
collections for the National Shrine OF
the Immaculate Conception are reach.

not far distant when this new shrine
to the Blessed Virgin will rise in all
its beauty on the campus of the Cath.
olic University of America. QUAINT.
ties of gold, silver and jewels have
also been sent as donations to this
shrine, which seems of nationwide in
terest, and these will be worked over
into rich vessels and plate to be used
at divine service.
Request to Charity-Just before
dying December Is, Frank Parmossar,
a secondhand merchant, willed all his
property to the Catholic Church
of Redding, Pa. His estate is worth
about $4,000. The church recently
spent $4,000 OH improvements and is
in debt. Parmossar had no relatives
Ill this country. A month ago Mrs.
Roxie Felker, his close friend for
years, feeling that the end was fast
approaching for her, decided her little
property to Parmossar. She died just
a week before Parmossar. So the
joint property of the venerable couple
will go to the Church.
