Should Dominate"
Scripture: Read Rom. S:5-17.

must die: but If by the Spirit We put
to death the deeds of the body, ye
shall live" Rom. S:1S). aye there
fore shall be perfect even as your

Meditation: II It Is a question be-
tween love and luxury, IL 1t is a
question between using possessions
selfishly or magnanimously, the
spiritual-minded man suffers from
no uncertainty; he values the spirit
above everything. Yet so strong are
the bodily appetites and the lesser
instincts that rigorous discipline is
necessary to attain spiritual domi-
nance.
mo man can steer his way
through the ocean Of life whose sSaI
is not on the stars"
Hymn:
Christian, rise and act thy creed,
Let thy pray'r be in thy deed:
Seek the right. perform the true,
Raise thy work and life anew.
Hearts around thee sink with care;
Thou canst help their load to bear,
Thou canst bring inspiring light,
Arm their tailoring wills to fight.
Come. then. Law divine. and reign,
Freest faith assailed in vain,
Perfect love bereft Of fear,
Born in heaven and radiant here.
IF. A. Rollo Russell, 1898.
Prayer: Pray for spiritual power;
the alert mind that sees clearly; the
discouraged.
Collect-O God, who dwellest in
the beauty of holiness embodied in
noble men and for the revelation OF
Thyself in Jesus Christ the incarna-
ton of thy conquering love. We are
covered with shame at the thought
Of Thy faithfulness for We have not
been ever true to Thee. Keep us
from infdelity to Thy friendship.
Save us from treachery of soul.
From the choice Of evil and from
the enforcement Of the lesser
things deliver us. Awaken in us a
living sense Of Thy spirit. Give us
hunger and thirst for righteousness.
May our hearts burn with the pres
ence of Christ in us. So would We
enthrone Thee, trust Thee, love
Thee, obey Thee; all by the grace
of Christ. Amen.

McAdoo's political strength has evap-
Grated in the last three years to such
an extent that he will not be serious
factor in the convention. California,
the State of Mr.. McAdoo's adoption,
will not send delegation favoring his
nomination for President, If Mr.. Dock
weller is to be credited. On the other
hand. the California delega ation might
be free to swing TO McAdoo later in
the convention, if Mr.. McAdoo showed
any real strength.
The selection of Senator Phelan as
the fayorite son of California is inter
osting. phelan, like Gov. Smith of
New York, is a Catholic. He is pop
ular in his State. Efforts have been
made to have him run again for the
Senate, but he has declined. A dele
cation that could support Senator
Phelan might well be visioned as sup
porting Gov. Smith eventually. The
favorite son method of selecting dele
Sations has one great virtue III the
eyes of the Democratic leaders. 1t
prevents pre-convention interpartN
rows and makes for harmony in the
individual States.

Washington's Political Ugliness.

Washington is host this week to the
National Conference of City Planners.
To the qualification of the District of
Columbia, these distinguished Ameri-
cans specialists in the field OF civic
esthetics, are devoting a generous
share of their time and deliberations
to the particular problems of the Fed
eral City.
Although it lies beyond the scope of
their operations. Voteless Washington
cherishes the hope that the City
Planners. while conI-~-ring the posi-
bilities of enhancing the District OF
Columbia's landscape beauty, will not
overlook its political ugliness.
Washinston's magnificent dis
tances" are worthy of the Nation $
best thought, but the citizenship dis
abilities under which the city suffers
are no less deserving Of the country's
earnest attention. These disabilities
are humiliating, discriminatory and
uniustiti bile. They de lericanize
more than nalt mllllOn .lhteiilScit'
natriotic taxpayers. They can be
remedied only by comforting national
representation upon the District of
Columbia along the lines of a constl-
tutional amendment now pending be-
fore Congress.
1t is demonstrably true that the
people of the United States at large
are incredibly ignorant of Washing
tons suffrage plight. The National
CITY Planners Conference would be
doing a work of popular enlighten-
ment if it could i omote the removal
