1E BACK AGAIN, BILLY SUNDAY
Mans.2n SaiG. and PSwEfa Prs2aai
" ashingtOn Is Sorry

You may see in the chem
ist' s laboratory a fluid Of GER
tain character.
Touch it with a bar of
glass, it solidif1es, crystallizes,
changes in any one of a dozen
Ways-seems to come to life.
The human conscience is
something like that, and Billy
Sunday is the chemist able
with his touch to bring the
thing to life, and in his own
words, "get action.
After weeks of hard work,
Mr.. Sunday finishes his Wash
ington task tonight.
He has told necessary and
unpleasant truths-the more
unpleasant, the more useful.
He brings with him and
takes away with him the old
fashioned beliefs. He will
have none of the man descend
ed from monkeys.
Man for Billy Sunday, is a
fallen creature. He didn't
know enough to say no when
Eve offered him the apple.
He was turned out of the
Garden, which OUGHT to
have been a lesson to him, but
wasn't.
He didn't know enough to
behave himself after that first
great warning.
He had to be drowned, and
the world had to start over
again, with Noah's family as
a foundation, and one pair of
each kind of animal. Ask
Sunday how Noah could fig
ure up all the millions of
kinds of creatures, including
germs, and he'll answer: "If
God could teach differentiaI
calculus to Newton, he could
teach ordinary arithmetic to
Noah.
Sodom and Gomorrah you
might think would behave
after such a food, but
not at all. Only Lot came
out of that bad company.
His poor wife was turned to
a pillar of salt. because she
looked back. They showed
you the pillar until recently.

HEARD AND SEEN
By EARL GOODWIN.

Meridian hill, or Sixteenth street
hill (the eminence God built es-
pecially for the Henderson house, to
judge from some Of the things one
hears in real estate circles), is to be
the site Of park compared to which
the Garden Of Eden was cheap and
tridinR.
The Washington times., 1918-03-03

The gentlemen in charge Of that
park have planned something much
greater and more beautiful than any
one out Of the secret can realize.
1t will have, as one feature, a broad
esplanade, from which you can see
all the way across the city and far
down the river on clear days. Also
there will be water effects that will
cool the most heated imagination, if
the plans | saw are earned through.

Naming the Tub

Mrs. MAMIE L. GRAVES says
it's a LIBERTY STAND, because It
is named "after the great stand that
our great President Woodrow Wilson
has taken in this terrible conflict;
also our noble President George
Washington. Don't forget '76."
Mrs. L. GARRISON, 1929 H street
says it's a TUB PILOT.

ADMISSION, ONE STAMP
And 1t Must Be of the War Savings
YariefJ.

Variety.
Some good Washingtonian can
make a hit by charging thrift stamps
as admission to afternoon teas or to
the kind of stunts that are pulled OF
IN connection with high art, high
bTows, and tea-cups. You know the
sort Of thing l mean.
Here in Washington we should de-
velop the thrift stamp idea to its ut
most. We should drive 1t far be-
yond the ultimate, and inasmuch a.
there seems to be several oceans Of
tea poured at non-essential activities
every day. believe we'd better turn
some Of that wasted tea-power into
war benefit. Charge a stamp.
The Washington times., 1918-03-03

about Billy Sunday is this:
HE MAKES HUMAN BE-
INGS THINK. He stirs the
dullest mind-and not a few
of the dullest sit in front of
him and need stirring.
When Billy Sunday says
that the mysterious power of
God is shown, when a black
COW can eat green grass and
give white milk, he supplied
food to the kind of brain that
would be left cold and unin-
terested by the simplest scien-
tific fact, as for instance, that
the sum of the angles Of any
triangle is equal to two right
angles.
Billy Sunday breaches the
Ten Commandments-ALL of
them, and especially those
that polite society usually ig-
nores.
He fights the devil as an in
dividual, believes that he ex-
lists, and believes, doubtless,
with good reason, that he, Bill
ly Sunday, has put white hairs
on the devils closely cropped
skull.
Sunday wouldn't be sur
prised at all, if some night he
found outside his door, hum
BILE and penitent, the real, gen
uine devil. clad in sackcloth
and ashes, his hair snow
white, saying, 81 give up, Mr.
Sunday, I have stood a good
many attacks since my fail,
but you are too much for me.
Milton, Dante described me.
You skin me alive. I want to
hit the trail -
Tonight is your last chance
to hear Billy Sunday if you
haven't heard him, your last
chance, perhaps, ever to hear
him, in Washington.
Go to his great last meeting,
applaud the man that fights
sincerely to make human be-
ings better-AND DON'T
FORGET YOUR CONTRI-
BUTTON. The laborer is
worthy of his hire, and the
hard fighter is deserving of
generous substantial thanks,

But now comes the proposition
to place statue of President Bu-
chanan IN that park and Congress
goes into q ferment over it. One
Of the oldest debates we have heard
this session consumed an hour and
half Of time In the House one
day last week. Congress DOES take
an interest in Washington, and WILL
protect Meridian Hill Park against so
great an imposition as to allow any
one to place any 3135,00O statue Of
Ten Cent Jimmy Buchanan" therein.
This quotation, which seems like
bit Of lese majestic, comes from the
classic phrases Of CONGRESSMAN
Walsh, of the old whaling town of
New Bedford, Mass. He dug up and
aired the charge that President
Buchanan had given expression, to
the thought that ten cents a day
was enough for any laboring man"
Perhaps he meant 10 cents q day
Icds enough for any ldboriHg man to
spend on the movies. / quite agree
tCith him.
But all this ruction over another
proposed statue for Washington
would not have lashed itself into
fury had not Congressman Dewalt Of
Pennsylvania quoted some old Penn
sylyanis historian who seemed to
put Lincoln and Buchanan in the
same niche of fame.
I lConder s0hy he didn't throtC in

trict Of Columbia for coed measure.

derftd appearance IN bronze out N

I don't know what sort Of a statue
President Buchanan would make, nor
do / care at this late date whether
he was a strong or a weak President.
But do protest against any statues
being inflicted on the National Capt.
tai unless some one who knows the
statue business censors the product.

reWsBOYs ON BATTLE FRONT
Belgian and French Youngsters Take
Great Risks While Distributing
Papers 70 the Soldiers.

During the first days Of the war
British soldiers going up to Mons from
BoulOgne were hailed by an ancient
French dame with her only British
phrase, "Da-e-ly Mail" She did her
best. Since those far-off days 'Da-e-ly
Nail" has been called by the little.
Belgian and French boys and girls all
along the line from Dunkirk to Bel
fort. Many a risk has been run to buy
and sell the news Of yesterday. One
great load of copies Of the London
Daily Mail arrived at a distributing
center by train just as the advancing
wave of Germans threatened to pour
over the line.
Prompt to the occasion the parcels.
were seized by the soldiers and
thrown into the gap. Surely NO news
paper parcels ever had stranger Gate
than to be used. fresh from the press
and unread. as sandbags for trenches
and shelter against whining scurry
OF machtne-gun bullets. Back In Paris
an anxious publisher and thoughtful
cashier wondered In what category Of
"unsold copies" the wagon load should
be put.
Three times the Daily Mail has
heard through advanced line distr1b-
uttng agents Of paper sellers shet By
snipers' bullets while making their
way along the trenches.

{ A Mohave Indian, says the
Parker Post, who was on the
streets Tuesday carrying her ar
ticles of purchase in bag on
her back suspended from a band
resting across the forehead.
This can hardly be said to be
the Mojave fashion of carrying
things, but one that was bor-
rowed from the Digger Indians
of central and northern Cali

tom has been in = vogue from
time irnmemorial. The Digger

thing of which she takes toll in
her rounds of the town or coun-
try, and in winter it serves also
as protection against the rain.
1t must be said, however, that
this Moiaye .squaw bag" while
the same in design, was a decid-
ed Improvement over the, Dig

production Of the United States must
come from the south. since the west
has apparently. for the time being at
least. very nearly reached its limit
IN corn production.
But while increasing IL the utmost
extent the production Of foodstuffs in
the south for the needs of this section
and for shipment elsewhere. there
must be adequate production Of cot
ton. Cotton is not only essential for
its limit and for use in the manufac.
ture OF explosives. but is essential for
the enormous food value in cotton
seed oil and the feed value IN cotton
seed cake and hulls. In raising cotton
the south is thus directly raising ~
invaluable foodstuff and feedstuff.
The motives OF any man who seeks
TO decry the cotton growing interests
or 10 put on cotton a maximum price
which would not yield large profit
10 the grower-rot simply fair pro-
fit-may be seriously questioned. for
evidently he is seeking the advant-
age of other interests rather than the
advantage Of the cotton grower. who
must have primary consideration.
Moreover. the cost Of cotton grow
ing has so greatly increased that even
the suggestion which has been made
of Is cents pound rs maximum
price is absurd to any intelligent man.

IF THE GERMANS WIN
Rudyard kipIing. Thinks that civiIi-
zation Will Perish.

Rudyard Kipling. speaking at a war
meeting at Folkestone. England said:
What is the personal aspect OF the
war for you and me? We are fighting
for our lives and the lives OF every
man. woman and child here and cv-
erywherc else.
I'VE are fighting that We may not
be harried into actual slavery such
as the Germans have established by
force OF arms in large parts Of Europe.
We are fighting against eighteen
hours a day forced labor under the
lash and at the point Of the bayonet.
with dogs death and a dogs burial
at the end Of 1t.
I'VE are fighting that men. women
and children may not be tortured and
burned and mutilated in the public
streets. as has happened In this town
and hundreds OF others.
We will go on fighting until this
race which has done these things Is
not in condition to continue or repeat
the offenses.
IF, for no reason whatever, we fall
short OF victory. and there Is no half
way house between victory and de-
feat. what happens to US is that every
relation, every understanding, every
decency upon which civilization has
been built will go. will be washed out.
because it will be proved unable to en-
dure. The whole OF democracy, which
at bottom is what the Huns are fight
ing against. will be dismissed from
mems minds because 1t will have been
shown incapable OF maintaining itself
against the Germans."
