PLAN DEVISED
TO CLEAN UP
SUNDAY BILLS
Committee VIII Secures Sub
scriptions to Offset Mea-
ger Tabernacle Offerings.

This week will probably see the
Tabernacle collections out Of the way.
influential members of the Washing
ton campaign committee met last
night at the home of Charles Henry
Butler, 15S5 I street northwest, and
mapped out a plan to clean up" the
necessary expense fund so that an
nouncement may be made next Sunday
that offerings will cease.
II Is agreed among the committee
men that the sum Of approximately
S14.OO0, needed to complete the S5.OOO
expense fund cannot possibly be raised
at the Tabernacle meetings. This ar
zument IS based onsghat has already
been done at the services. The ay-
erage taken up in the pans has been
below cents a person and the big
building is being referred to as the
Washington TabernickeL"
VIII Work Outside.
Collections have run along in Wash
inston about as long as in any city
IN which Billy Sunday has campaigied.
1t looked as though they would have
to be continued unth the close Of the
revival But the campaign hackers
didn't want the nations Capital to

ings during the entire campaign So
they decided to get together and go
10 work on the outside and drum
up n individual subscriptions enough
to meet the deficit which they argue
the collections during the remainder Of
the campaign will not cover. They
will start out today on the subscrip-
ton campaign.
Included in the Expense account" Of
the campaign, in addition to the cost
OF construction and maintenance OF
the Tabernacle. necessary clerk hire
and postage, etc, are the living ex-
penses Of the entire Sunday party and
a large part of their salaries.
There are about twenty members
in the party and they 1--we together In
one Of the buildings OF the National
School Of Domestic Arts and ScienCes,
ESQ Wisconsin avenue. The school au-
thorities have made a fiat rate" per
person for board and room.
Ma Is FinancIer.
The campaign officials pay two
thirds the salaries of the Sunday
party workers. Billy sunday pays the
other one-third out OF the free-will
Offering he receives on the last day
OF MS campaign Inc pay TOu Is
large, since each Of the workers is
an expert in his or her particular line
and demands a good-sized salary.
Ma" Sunday handles the financial
end of the Sunday workers program.
She pays the bills and adjusts the
salaries. Her word Is final in the mat
ter Of engaging and Letting go" the
workers. And whatever Ma does
in looking after the business end of
the program, Billy indOrses.
Billy insists in his sermons that 'if
more men would trust to the intuition
OF their wives there would be fewer
human derelicts on the sea of life.
And the best evidence that the evan
gelist follows this teaching is shown
in MAS" dictatorship of the what's
what" program among the Sunday
party workers. As a matter Of fact,
Billy rarely makes a move in any
direction without first consulting
MA" Sunday. II she o. ks it, he
goes ahead. II not. the matters for
gotten.

Mote how Billy always attacks
either a person who is dead or
one who Is thousands Of miles
away?" asked one OF his critics
yesterday. It's q pipe to my mind,
to throw the hooks into a person
who can't come back. He's too
general in his denunciations.
There's plenty OF persons and
things in Washington that need
attacking. But Billy diseretely
lays Off anyone who might fight
back. Windjamming-tha the
way I dope 1t. And the crowds
sure fall hard, don't they?" May
be it's the military spirit that
makes the evangelist SO general!
Another critic noted that Billy
has religiously refrained from at
tacking Christian Science. That's
true. His official sermons contain
the attacks, but the evangelist
doesn't repeat them from the plat
form.

all OF the States want-and the peo-
pie, too. Everybody back of the Pres

coordination Of our war activities.
Senator Poindexter insists in carry

lately denoted in G. o. P. ranks as
progressives. One he was on the
stump for the progressive cause. He
IL now listed as Republican with no
qualifying adjectives.
More and more praise Is heard
around Congress for Gen. Mccain,
adjutant general of our army. He is
efficiency persOnifed, and members of
both houses are ready to award him
n medal for the rapid and accurate
handling OF business they have had
with his office.
Not a step behind Gen. Mccain, in
the estimation Of the lawgivers, Is
Gen Crowder. The latter has given
his wonderful ability and his broad
vision to the accomplishment of some
mighty tasks in connection with our
war making thus far. Though he may
not gather in the reward that he de-
serves during his lifetime, history
will elevate him to q high place.
