Christmas Services

Rev. George Wolstenholme Of the
Newton, Mass, theological school,
was III town for the Christmas SER
vices and two most beautiful and
inspiring services were held in the
village church before large congre-
cations. The church was beautiful
~ decorated by Mr.. Griffin in red
and white garlands with quantities
of green branches and red berries
and many small fir trees, making
fine setting for the glad season. Spec
ial music was rendered by selected
choir and those who were fortunate
enough to be present were privileged
to enjoy services rarely heard in a
small community. Mr.. Wolsten-
holme has established himself in the
hearts Of our people and all await
Lis next coming among us.

COMMUTERS DEMAND
LOWER RATES ON ROAD
Snowden School and Civic League
of Fairfax County Makes
! Appeal.

Commuters on the Washington-Vir-
ginia railway living between Alexan-
dria and Mount Vernon, forming the
Snowden School and Civic League of
Fairfax County, asked the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday to
put into effect Immediately reduced
rates on the road and to restore the
right to carry baggage on single
passenger ticket.
A complaint filed with the commits
sion by L. A. Thompson, Joseph w.
Kreuttner and A. f. Pezold, repre-
senting the protesting association,
asks that the company be required to
extend tie life of it's twenty-six- "trip
ticket to two months from date of
sale and to include for it's use five
members of family; restoration of
gle ticket, and reduction in the pas
senger rate between Alexandria and
Washington, amounting to 16 2-3 per
cent. This reduction. the complaint
says, was asked for by the company
on account of competition by a bus
line running from this city to Alex
andria Complainants claim the re-
duction has not been made effective
on tickets beyond Alexandria. The
road. has been granted authority for
the reduced rate.
BY reason of these facts, the COM
plaint says, commuters below Alex
andria have been subjected to pay
ment of fares which were and are in
violation of the interstate commerce
act and are unjust and unreasonable.

ALEXANDRIA POSTMASTER
APPOINTMENT DELAYED
Selection Of Republican Not Ex-
pected to Be Made for Sew
eral Weeks.

Appointment of republican post
master for Alexandra, Va, to sue
ceed DR.. William NJ Smith, the demo-
cratic incumbent, will not likely be
made for several weeks, according to
Representative Bascom NJ. Slemp, one
Of the republican leaders of Virginia.
Mr.. Slemp expressed this view yester-
to confer with the President regard
ing another matter, and explained at
the time that the delay in shaking
this political plum has, in his mind,
been due to the tardiness on the part
of the Civil Service Commission in
making the ratings of eligibles for
the Alexandria office. Mr.. Slemp stated
that upon inquiry he had learned that
the Civil Service Commission has been
proceeding in its work in alphabetical
order of stateS~and for that reason
Virginia has been delayed in its con-
/ Sideration.
Mr.. Slemp stated that there are
quite a number Of high-class and es-
pecially well qualified applicants who
have taken the examination for the
Alexandria postmastership, and, so
far as he is informed, any one of them
would prove highly efficient and sat
isfactory If appointed. He intimated,
however, that the leaders are anxious
to have the appointment go to one Of
the younger and more active OF the
party men on the eligible list. This
could be taken to mean that the state
leaders are not behind the movement
to obtain the appointment for Ar
misted Eggburn. one of the older and
more prominent republican workers
in Alexandria.

PlNcHOT'S WORD GOES

Mr., rlNCIl"T cam" OUT Of his confer
AV1 c1ce with the other candidates and the
officers of the Republican State Committee
yesterday afternoon with the assurance
that the three important things on which
he had been insisting would be done.
He first insisted that there should be no
assessments on public offiCchoders for cam
paign funds. lie knows that the system Of
assessments has been responsible for vicious
political practices and that the oticeholders
have felt that they held their places by favor
of the political committees from whom they
must take their orders.
Senator Pepper. Major Reed. Secretary
Woodward and Mr.. Gawthorp agreed with
him that there is to be no solicitation of
campaign funds from any officeholder and
that no pressure. direct or indirect. Is 10 be
brought TO bear to force a contribution.
Mr. Pinchot then insisted that all the
financial records of the State Committee
should be open and public and that they
should be audited by certified accountant.
This was in order to protect the men who
contribute to the campaign funds and in
order, also, to let the people know just
where the money came from and how It was
spent.
This was agreed TO because there is not a
valid argument against il. No reputable
man dare say that he is opposed to the
fullest publicity in the matter of campaign
funds.
Mr.. Pinchot further demanded that all the
members of the Executive the Finance the
Resolutions and the Rules Committees be
satisfactory 10 all the candidates. This
means that ii any hack politician or any
man suspected of connection with the boot
lessers is proposed for any of the commit
tees. Mr.. Pinchot has the power to veto the
appointment. The committees will have TO
be satisfactory TO him. as they should be. in
view Of the fact that he is the head of the
ticket
And after these concessions had been made
to him Mr.. Pinchot let it be known that the
special committees organized in various
parts of the State TO further his candidacy
for the nomination would continue in cx-
istence to cooperate with him in bringing
about his election. They will work on par.
allei lines with the State Committee and in
perfect harmony with Mr. Pinchot. No
objection was raised TO this
In view OF his success IN persuadinr he
other candidates and the officers OF the con,
mttee to agree with him on these matters.
1t may be taken for granted that Mr.
Pinchot will go ahead with his campaign in
his own way. confident that the Others will
have TO follow him, for it has been demon.
strated that he is a man who must be
reckoned with. He does not storm and
bluster, but when h" says a thing he seems
to mean IT,

ing,
i'ark Art Association to encourage native
artists. This matter came up as long ago
as 1871 In that year 1t was decided that
Wherever possible ii was eXpedicnt to con-
tract with native artists in further pur
chnses. This has always been II moot ques
fion. since art knows no nationality. and,
since the best is always available selec-
tions should not necessarily be restricted
to ones own country. Yet it seemed TO us
to be imperative that native artists should
be encouraged by commissions wherever
practicable. since it IS self evident fact
that art cannot flourish unless encouraged
with the proper financial return. This
policy has since been followed by the board.
The work Of the association has in
volved much more labor than is apparent
to the casual observer. We have tried in
every case and in every way possible to
secure the best results for the money cx-
pended. and this has neccssitated much
work of which the public. which sees only
the completed work, must necessarily be
ignorant
''Whilc the association was primarily
formed for the purpose Of identifying Fair
mount Park, its work has not been limited
to that alone. 1t has taken such measures
as the protection Of Carpenters Hall. and
has attended to the erection of various art
works in other parks Of the city and in
various places in the city where the donors
of such works indicated u desire to have
them located.
The Equality Of Art
''In the erection Of works of art in pub
lie places, the association feels that It Is
doing this work not for pleasure or for
mere love of adornmcnt, but is doing some
thing which is good for the city and good
for all those who enjoy the pleasure Of look
ing at them. Art in public places is n
thing which all persons can share with
absolute equality, and it supplies something
TO stimulate the idea of beauty in every
person who views IT. entirely irrespective
of that persons position in the world.
THE association has done what it could
do in the past with the money at its COM
mand Philadelphia is entering upon a new
era, in which the arts are destined to play
an important part. With the support of the
citizens. our association hopes to take a
prominent part in this Development"

Senator Capper let loose the vials Of his
wrath upon Mr.. Weeks after the address ut

Mr.. Cappcr that any one who saw fit to
criticize the direct primary was more than
Bolshevst. Others, the most bitter
enemies of Barleycorn, will now charge the
Secretary of War with treason or some
equally henous offcnse.
But Mr.. Weeks will be right in spirit and
his critics will be wrong. For this is free
country in which every man has right to
express his opinions. 1t is by open dis.
cussion--and by no other method that we
must hope to get at the truth about all
public matters.
Nothing is yet so sacred in America that
It must not be honestly discussed according
TO the viewpoint of an intelligent and sincere
