FUND FOR ST. PAUL'S
CHURCH GROWING
Three Thousand Dollars Needed
in Campaign by Wednes-
day Night.

The halfway mark in the $4,000 in
fifty days campaign OF ST. Paul's Catho-
lie Church is the goal set for the first
half of this week by the 20 solicitors en-
gagged in the canvas. The financial bar
ometer Of the campaign was boosted to
the 1900 mark today. and the sum of
$2S.OO Is confidently expected to be
reached by Wednesday night.
When $4,000 has been pledged work on
the towers Of the church building, Fff-
teenth and v streets northwest, will be
started The interior decoration and
the installation OF two side affairs and q
pipe organ will follow as quickly as the
amount Of the fund warrants COM
mencement OF the work.
The st. Paul campaign Is limited en-
tirely to the parishioners Of the church,
living within the territory bounded by
Ninth and Twenty-fourth and Q and
Harvard streets northwest The raising
Of the full amount from the $500 parish
toner's Of the church is a matter Of par
ish pride. and all indications now point
to the accomplishment of the task by
the end Of the campaign, March 2
The solicitors will meet in the
church hal Wednesday night to re-
port on the progress made and outline
work for the latter part of the week.
Next Sunday night the men of the
church are invited to attend a mass
meeting in the hall to devise means
OF making the last twenty-five days of
the campaign productive OF the neces-
sary balance to complete the $4,000.
Many Contributions Reported.
The church hall last night was
packed with with enthusiastic parish
toner's, and many contributions were
reported. Brief remarks were made
by Admiral William S. Benson, U. S.
N, and James A. CahiIl, representing
the lay members OF the church. and
by the Rev. Father James Z. Krug, on
behalf of the clergy.
The enthusiastic spirit OF the So
licitors was reflected in the remarks
OF Edward Cryer and BIiss Mary Tay-
son. Andrew /. Hickey, chairman of

THE wOMAN's DIVISION BILL

A bill which has been favorably re-
ported in both Houses of Congress
creates a Woman's Division in the
Department of Labor, similar to the
Children's Bureau. AS that bureau
is designed to investigate and report
upon matters pertaining to children
and child life, so the Woman's Di-
vision will have the especial task of
looking after the welfare of the
working women of the country. They
form 20 per cent of the workers.
They are mostly unorganized and in
most States have not the protection
which the ballot gives the working
man. Many States have passed
laws protecting the women workers,
as men protect themselves by or
ganization and political action,
against too long hours, too low a
wage scale, and unfair and unfit con-
ditions of labor. The Federal Gov
ernment does practically nothing for
the woman worker as such. The
Bureau of Labor Statistics has de-
voted about 4 per cent of its ap-
preparations to her welfare.
The House bill provides for a chief
of the division, an assistant chief,
and a force of twenty agents and
clerks with an appropriation of some
$4,000. The Senate bill as amended
in committee cuts this amount down
a third or more. Still, much can be
done with what is granted and the
bill should pass in one form or an
other. 1t can be brought up in the
Senate almost any time. 1t is hoped
that it can be reached in the House
under suspension of the rules today.
Especially if the nation is involved
in war should there be some central
governmental agency to look after
the welfare of the woman workers.
The Secretary Of the Navy has al
ready put in a call for them. Lloyd
George, when he became minister of
munitions, put an experienced wom-
an factory inspector in charge of the
factories with autocratic powers to
reform bad conditions. And while
the laws won with so much patience
and struggle for the welfare Of wom-
an and child wage-earners have all
been suspended, in the stress of the
labor shortage in England, yet the
interests of the worker have been
looked after in this way. The crea-
ton of the Woman's Division in the
Department of Labor will be a step
in the right direction.

THE WIZARD COGITATING-BE.
WARE!

The most important news of the
day, from the preparedness point of
view, is the retirement of Edison
to Eagle Rock. where he will in
dulge in a few twenty-four hour
sleepless jags and emerge with some
war invention to astonish the world.
What form will the new device for
ending the war assume? Will it be
a new torpedo on which one has
only to write the name and address
of a German super-dreadnaughI
and launch it on this side of the At
lantic with the certainty that it will
reach its destination? Will it be a
thought-wave telephone that will re-
veal the innermost secrets of the
Kaiser and his generals, as we'll as
of hyphenate conspirators in this
country?
Will it be a new Edison electric
contraption that will progressively
explode all the ammunition Of a hos
tile army or feet when pointed in
their direction? Will it be a new
kind of soporiic gas that can be
waited at will across the trenches
and camps of the enemy, rendering
them helpless as against capture
and perhaps permanently mending
their dispositions Or will It be q
powerful magnet that will draw to
The Washington times., 1917-02-19

When the Supreme Court Of the
District of Columbia finds its calen-
dar 900 cases behind, as chronic
condition, these cases coming from
litigants all over the United States
as well as from the District, when the
number of judges has been increased
by one in thirty-six years while the
business of the court has been in
creased more than 200 per cent, it
would seem that the mere recital of
these facts should be enough to call
the attention of Congress to the ne
cessity for passing the Overman-
Carlin bill, providing for two addi-
tional associate justices of this i'm
portant court.
Justice without sale, denial, or de-
lay, is one of the traditions of Anglo
Saxon law. The amount of work be-
fore the court makes delay unavoid-
able, delay in a decision is often a
denial of justice and even tends to its
sale, when the litigant with the
longer purse is able to profit by delay
for which the court is not responsible.
Give the court the relief it needs,
not only for itself. but for the bust
ness of the District and of the nation.

WHY SHOULD SUCH AMERICANS
HAVE VOTESP

The pacifst denunciation of that
feature, in particular, of the Cham
berlain, bill which proposes that no
employer may hire any citizen who
cannot show a certificate of military
service or of excuse therefrom for
cause calls attention to the fact that
in this respect the measure is not
above criticism. 1t does not go far
enough.
Why should any American who is
unwilling to do his bit under demo-
cratic system of universal military
training enjoy equal rights and priv
ileges with an American who does
his bit? This point is particularly
pertinent in view Of the fact that the
Government would give in return for
the entirely reasonable six months
training period-reGuired prior to
the years of the individuals great
economic usefulness-more than an
adequate return in body, brain, and
character building.
A proposal for a Constitutional
amendment to disqualify from hold
ing public Office or voting those who
were unwilling either to undergo
military training under the proposed
law or to defend their country in case
of war would be more appropriate.

NO NEED FOR PANIC

The latest forecast Of a celebrated
authority on the polar regions, "In
thirty days from now Washington
may be in ashes" need alarm no one
who recognizes how frequently
famous men succumb to the tempta-
tion of notoriety.
If the skies fall we shall certainly
catch larks.
Admiral Peary's lurid picture of a
tramp steamer from foreign power
taking its station on the Maryland
coast and sending a flock of twelve
aeroplanes, each laden with a thou
sand pounds of high explosives 10
drop upon our defenseless Capital
City, may frighten kindergarten chill
dren, and is therefore to be deplored
and rebuked.
So far as reaching American
shores is concerned, the German
navy is practically as non-existent
as the Swiss navy. There is no
thirty-day peril from Great Britain
or France, just now, and the war
ships of the allies seem pretty ef-
fective on the other side of the pond,
while the American navy might pos
sibly have oversight of our own
coasts. so far as an irruption of hos
tile tramp steamers laden with
aeroplanes and dynamite is con-
cerned.

WOMEN AND WAR

Would that every member of the
Women's Peace Party and other
ultra pacifists would read carefully
the statement of Mary Austin, arch
feminist, in which she gives her rea-
sons for quitting that organization.
Mrs. Austin is an idealist. She has
demonstrated that in such books as
"Love and the Soul Maker" and in
that interesting study of the human
side of Christ's life, "The Man
Jesus" In her explanation of why
she quit the pacifists she shows how
idealism may be tempered by sound
common sense.
Mrs. Austin states that the danger
of woman's participation in political
life is the possibility that she might
place the special interests of her sex
above those of humanity as a whole.
She says:
Women have always opposed
war, primarily because it threat
ems special lhltECblS
than the interests of any other
class. War takes the lives and
livelihoods of men, but 1t never
deprives them of their place in
society, their special privileges
and obligations as men. But for
every man who is killed or hope
lessly MANNED, some woman, vol
UNFAIRLY or not, resigns her
chance to become wife or mother,
or is deprived of her Importance
to society by the destruction Of
her special product.
Thus, in Mrs. Austin's opinion, it
is not sympathy or sentiment, or
pity for loss of life, that is the foun-
dation head of some women's oppo-
sition to war but they are advocates
of "peace at any price" because that
price is less than the price of war.
Her advice to women is this:
Whenever a people finds the
principles of its social constitu-
tion at stake, then it is time for
that people to leave off acting as
men and women, and act con-
certedly as human beings. For
women at such a time to stand for
their special woman views is to
lose what women everywhere
have worked SO hard for, their
right to be considered as political
factors, quite apart from their
womanness.
Such a sane conclusion, so clearly
expressed, is commended to the de-
liberate consideration of suffragists
ESPECIALLY those who are picketing
the White House), pacifsts, and all
the other "ists," whose advocacy of a
special interest may be no less pat
ent than the special interest they
charge the munition makers with
having in urging war.

ANOTHER ARGUMENT FOR
RECIPROCITY

Another feeder line, for the Wash
ington market, that will bring a
now rather isolated section of Mary
land into intimate touch with the
Capital, has been authorized by the
county commissioners of Prince
Georges county.
A concrete road to open the entire
northern end of the county, which
now has poor road facilities, has
just been authorized by the commits
sioners, and the work will be press
ed. The new road will be known as
the Shoemaker road, and it will in
effect provide another great high
way from the State of Maryland to
the Capital and to Washington mar
kets. The road will tap a section
that now has poor facilities. The
new road will run into and form a
continuation of Rhode Island avenue,
which the District is improving to
the District line. In addition it will
provide fine short cut to the Balti-
more boulevard from any section Of
Washington.
Truck growers in Maryland and
general farmers, and the people of
the District who will find much use
for this road, need reciprocal Ii
cense privileges for motor cars to
get the maximum benefit, another
argument for the passage Of the
new District motor law as provided
by a Senate amendment.
