4 WASHINGTON NEWS
CARDINALS DAY CELEBRATED AT
NATIONS CAPITAL.

Cardinals Day" in Washington was
observed last Sunday when solemn
High Mass was offered in St. Patrick s
Church at IL o'clock, which was at
tended by members of the cabinet, the
diplomatic corps, justices of the Sill,
preme court, officers of the army and
navy, senators and representatives in
congress, and number of prominent
churchmen and citizens of Washington
The mass was celebrated by Very Rev
p. j. O'Callaghan and the sermon was
preached by Rev. Sigourney Fay, prin.
cipal of the Newman School for Boys
Of Hackensack, N. j. The cardinal
occupied throne in the sanctuary,
with other high dignitaries of the
church grouped around him. After
the mass the cardinal held reception
in Carroll hall, when hundreds formed
in line Gncluding many non Catholics)
to give New Year greetings to the aged
prelate who is so beloved in the CAPT
tai of the nation. Following the re.
ception, MOnsignor Russell entertained
at luncheon in the rectory, in the car
dinal's honor, when the invited guests
included many prminent churchmen
and laymen.

will Issue Green backs

To meet the demand for notes of
small denominations, the Treasury De-
partment will issue one and two dol
lar greenbacks, such as were in circu-
lation in Civil war days. The Treas
ury Department announces the issue
will be made about February LIST.
Silver certificates, the ordinary bills
of one and two dollar denomination,
cannot be issued under the law in
quantities sufficient to meet the public
demand. United States notes of ten
dollar denomination will be retired
from circulation, dollar for dollar, in
equal value to the greenbacks to be
put out.
No greenbacks have been issued
since 1885, and the amount of one dol
lar and two dollar notes of that vari-
ETY. still outstanding now is slightly
more than s3,0O0,000.
A limit of $346,6S1, O16 was fixed as
the amount of outstanding federal
notes by the law of 1878. The green
back then, it is pointed out was a pc.
litical issue, and resulted in the birth
of new national party, backed large
ly by farmers of the south and west.

Agree on In migration

Eliminating language objected to by
the State Department because it was
offensive to Japan, the long-discussed
immigration bill was agreed upon last
week by a conference committee Of
the two Houses of Congress, and the
Senate adopted the conference report
by vote of Sc to 10. After the House
acts the bill will go to the president.
It's effective date will be changed from
July l to May /.
The substitute for the Objectionable
clause, now reads:
mo alien now in any way excluded
or prevented from entering the United
States shall be admitted to the United
States"
This sentence, sufficiently direct to
satisfy Pacific coast legislators who
insisted upon some such provision, is
regarded as broad enough to safeguard
against objection from any foreign
government. 1t is added to the sec
ton designed to effect exclusion of
llindus and other Asiatics by prescrib-
ing Il geographical area from which
immigrants shall not be admitted
The literacy test provision, on &C
count of which similar bills have been
vetoed by Presidents Cleveland, Taft
and Wilson, remains intact, in spite
of the fact that President Wilson has

cause of another veto.

vision for the submission of wet" or

At Il mass meeting of Washington,
ians last Sunday, held for the purpose
of taking counsel among themselves as
to how best to obtain, il possible, from
Congress the privilege of voting on
whether there shall be prohibition in
the District of Columbia, Monsignor
Russell who was one of the principal
speakers, said:

tain Colthurst put us all under strong
guard in the front room, giving instruc.
lions that we would be shot if any of
us stirred. 1t is not easy to keep a
small child of seven from stirring for

may be grateful that we are alive.
There were present on that raid Col.
Allepp, an officer of 29 years stand
ing in the British army; Captain Colt
hurst, Lieut.. Brown, and about 40 men.
My impression of Captain Colthurst
was that he was exceedingly self-con-
tanned, rather arrogant and very cool
in manner, not at all excited as luna
tic would be. The men certainly were
very hysterical. For three hours they
remained in the house and they took
from it, before they went, everything
that was Of any value.
"They took my husbands manu-
scripts; they took practically all his
life work, play that he had written,
that he spent years on, and that has

A man with crippled hand landed in
Clio, few days since, and proceeded to
ply his vocation of begging. One bust
ness man whom he approached de-
clined to assist him amos rewss ueU
with a vollev Of profane and vulgar
epitre.s that was simply monstrous
The man richly deserved arrest and the
severest penalty that could be inflicted
under the law and doubtless would have
been thus dealt with but for the fact
that he hurried out of town before an
officer could get hold of him. The sssJi
was young and apparently strong, but
for his crippled hapor, and in thinking
theymatter ever, apart from his out
ragesJus conduct in abusing citizen
who refused to give him money, we
couldn't Justify his begging at all. The
trouble was that he hadn't even at
tempted to exhaust the possibilities for
a decent, useful existence and had be-
came social parasite because it was
the easiest thing to do. We Couldn't
help contrasting this man with Helen
Kellar, deaf, blind and originally
speeches. from childhood, who despite
the overwhelming sum of these disab-
ilities has become useful and even
pre-eminent member of society, and
with Alexander II. Stevens, a helpless
cripple, who was one of the most &C
complished statesmen and most master
full intelects Of his time, and with Stein
metz, the little, bunch back, electrical
wizard, of New York, who draws down
a greater salary than the president of
the United States. The trouble with
the young man who had sunk to the
degradation of beggary was not
withered hand but rather a witbered
soul.

CITY PEOPLE KNOW 1T ALL
San Francisco Paper Explains (7) Why
They Are Superior to the
Simple Farmer.

We city people are a sophisticated
lot That is how we differ from the
country people. From our babyhoods
we have been accustomed to the sight
of things happening. The consequence
is that we are wiser and better than
any kind of people that ever lived,
says the San Francisco Bulletin, in
satirical vein.
We have seen and experienced so
much that to the country visitor we
must seem callous. We do not stand
around and stare at things, as country
people would, except when there is
dog fight, or an automobile breaks
down, or there is a fire alarm, or po-
liceman has an argument with q taxi
driver, or q pacifist with a militarist,
or when a political candidate or a
brand Of soap is advertised by means
Of a band on a dray or when man
walks down the street with Old-faSh-
toned whiskers, or pink trousers, or
without any hat on, or when fOunda-
ton for building is being excavated,
or piles driven, or street relaid, or nc
any time when we may behold the re-
markable spectacle of hard r9rA vi any
KIM I~ang carried on in/public, or
when somebody else stops and stares
at something and we aren't quite sure
what it is, but are certain, that We
ought not to take the risk of missing It,
But country people-they are always
staring at things. This may be the re-
suit of their limited spheres of life.
All they ever see is things growing,
which is much less spectacufrSproc-
ess than things happening. Their work
Is narrow, being nothing more than
producing food, and requiring no great
capacity beyond knowledge of chem
istry, physiology, animal psychology
and familiarity with scanty dozen
or two of skilled trades.

In the current issue Of the Messenger
appears poem by Ella Wheeler Will
cox, touching a social condition every
where existent and of very ancient
Standing. The poem was sent to Us by
j. T Daniels of st. Johns. together
with an article of his own, along the
same line, which is also published.
Both the poem and MIR. Daniels article
is concerned. There is no real differ
ence between the male and female
transgressor against chastity and that
society has established and counten-
ances any difference in judging them is
nquestionably an error. But the mat
ter Of providing remedy for CONNER
cialized prostitution raises different
question; one presenting extreme diff
ficulties In the first instance, vice OF
this kind has its origin in heredity and
adverse environment, extending, per-
haps, through many generations. Sec
ondly, it has been found that women
pursuing this vocation are to a very
large degree Of sub-normal mentality,
rendering them incapable of any eXalt-
ed degree of moral understanding
And thirdly, it has been found, strange
as it may seem, that they prefer the
life they lead to any other, being un'
fitted and very much disinclined to any
form of labor. Not long ago Sar
Francisco clergyman started crusade
against vice in the district adjacent tC
his church. He was called upon by a
the underworld who presented the
question as to what they could do ir
case they were compelled to abandon
their present means of livelihood. Var.
ious plans were suggested, but the
ultimatum of the women was that they
must be guaranteed a weekly wage OF
$4,000 each or they would continue the
old life. A normal sense of moral re-
sponsibiity would have rendered bare
subsistence, honorably gained, infinite
ly preferable, but they were incapable
of it, and lacking it, it is patent they
could not be permanently attached to
any calling wherein industry, integrity
and self-respect are indispensable to
success. Reformative effort among
these unfortunates is a matter of much
difficulty. { 1t is as difficult to reshape
mature character. as to remold fin
ished vase. The ipotter's clay in it's
plastic. form is the material to work
with. Sentiment must address itself to
a practical and scientific treatment Of
this problem if it would bring about
real improvement. There must be just
ice enough in commerce to secure a
decent living and favorable environ
ment for every child. Education must
not only be provided but enforced to
quicken the moral perceptions of the
young and there should be some regula-
tionsEthat would prevent, or at least
deter, the propagation of the mentally
and physically unfit.
