Clayton Urges Adoption.
w. Nick. Clayton said that, from
every imaginable standpoint, the rec
concentrations should be adopted.
Hundreds of washingtonians," he
said, 'fhave moved across the line out
side Of the District, in order to retain
their franchises. They cannot vote
here, and they feel it their duty to
live in a section where they have suf-
frage. These suburbs, now being dis
cussed, are peopled by such persons.
They are a part of the District, and
as such, have a right to call on the
District for aid.
But they can exist without assist
ance from us. / am supporting the
proposition because l realize that
what benefits those sections, directly
dement's and concerns the whole DIS
trict. In reality, there is no line sep
arating Washington from those Sec
tions."
The recommendations were adopted.
Oppose Sunday street Cleaning.
The recommendations of the Central
Citizens Association, read by Charles
r. Burr, opposing the sweeping OF
streets of the city on Sunday, were re-
turned to the committee with the IN
structIons that the matter be taken
up with the superintendent OF street
cleaning, It was pointed out that
only a few men are employed for sun
day work. They are known as "emer-
gency men," How many are employed
and what salaries are received Is not
known. The committee will investi-
gate and report at the next meeting.
Until the Public Utilities Commits
sion concludes Its hearings on the
valuation of the two electric railway
companies, w. NICK. Clayton report
ed, the question Of constructing a
shed for passengers at Fourteenth
and B streets southwest will not be
taken up.

Juvenile Court, in a ten-minute talk

SACRIFICE.

1t has gone around the world and
has been admired wherever good liter
ature is admired. BY chance we came
across the verses the other day, and
today seems a most appropriate one
to print them, it being the feast Of st.
Francis of Assist
If not to have what surely should be
mine
BY right of strongest feelings Of the
soul;
If forced to hold, and ever to confine,
Within the narrow compass of con-
The warmest impulse of heart, whose
strength
Can not be gagged by standard, or
device
For measurement of common breadth
or length.
Is, to my mind, deep-rooted sacrifce!
To stand aside, and see what others
grasp,
With effort none, their ardor to
Withstand;
And, what long for, can never clasp,
Nor ever hope to hold within my
hand; IT. ,.
To miss the joys that should q. life
adorn; .-,s.
To find that ev'ry sweet has bitter
price;
To bear the heart-seal of cruel thorn;
If this be not-then what Is sacri-
flee? !.

THEY ARE NOT MANY.

While Irishmen of this country are
certainly within their rights In keep
ing up the movement to have Erin
declared free at the end of the world
war, they should be careful not to
embarass America in any way in the
war. With them, as with all others,
it should be case of America first.
We are happy to say that, in the vast
majority of cases, there Is not the
least ground for suspicion, but it must
be admitted that the recent revelations
at Washington throw some so-called
leaders in very bad light. The Irish
movement, like all other political. prop
agandas, can we'll afford to squelch q
few of its more rabid noisemakers-

In the first place the priests would lose
undue influence on Irish politics, and
the people would soon see that it was
the man that counted, not the col
lar.
Religious Societies.
Privileged men in politics wrought
much damage. There had been more
or less Of this in the past of Ireland,
as there had been in the past Of
every other country. They had it on
every side of Irish political life. He
was not defending the Orange Order
tnthis matter as he did not think any
more about it than he did of the He
bernian Order. He thought that no
society should mix up religion and pol
itics. He knew that the Ancient
Order of Hibernians often did good
work; societies Of that kind often did
good work; and possibly there were
circumstances under which such So
ciety might be necessary as an, answer
to another society, but the principle
was wrong. The Sinn-Fein movement
was tolerant movement, and when
people were brought under its inspira-
tion they respected everybody else's
politics, and a movement built on
those lines was bound to succeed
(hear, hear. He was confident there
were men outside the ranks of the
Catholics of Ireland who, when they
felt the inspiration of that movement
would be led into it as they had been
repeatedly led into similar movements
in the past-as they were led into the
Volunteer movement in 1892 and as
they were led into the Tenant Right
movement Immediately after the
Famine, the movement which swept
the country, Orange and Green, in a
few days, and which was killed by the
operation of influences which he
would advise his hearers to look up
and study. If they did so, they would
probably learn more about the main
subject of his lecture. loud ap-
plause).
