England expects every man to do

an occasion in keeping with the spirit

Liberty.

The right of the house cat to roam
at will has been upheld by the Virginia
Legislature in refusing to restrict the
ar'mal to radius of five hundred
yards from its masters home. This Is
a wholesome precedent, unfolding a
similar decision made by three English
iuriSts last year.
Felis domesticus is thus. seen to be
not without friends in high places. al
though the casual observer might think
otherwise, sometimes, after listening to
the animadversions of those who do
not like cats" The domestic cat Is no
halfway creature; one either likes 1t
or does not like 1t.
1t may be pointed out in behalf of
the cat that 1t strictly minds its own
business: that 1t SO seldom bites a
human being that when it does the
action becomes news: that 1t is uni
verSally beloved OF those flowers Of the
human race. the children. and that 1t
has been friend of man for at least
5000 years, sharing his home and
board.
Even the dog. that more easily un-
derstood friend, has no more ancient
lineage Of friendliness than the house
cat. whose very name indicates his
claim upon the affections Of humanity
His unitarian service against rodents
has been a large and important one.
He admits no one as master, however.
but lives with all on terms of equality
In world where independence is
so highly priced. the house cat might
well be adopted as symbol of free
dom: and to restrict It's roamings in
any way would be to put a bar sinister
across the fair name Of liberty. II one
wakes at night because OF the clamor
Of two fighting tomcats. let him re-
member that 1t viii cease presently
and that 1t Is the voice OF creatures
that mind their own business and be-
lieve In letting others do likewise.

No One Should Oppose.

The District today. with rs hall
million Americans, is in resources
population. intelligence and patriotic
Americanism so we'll equipped that II
Congress had now the power which we
ask for 1t to grant District national
representation. 1t could safely and
wisely exercise that power at once.
But assuming that there are some
Representatives or some Senators who
are not yet convinced. who are not en-
tirely satisfied that in resources and in
population the District Is today fully At
for national representation. they ought
not on that account to vote against our
amendment, for it Is TO be noted that
they are not asked in voting for the
amendment to declare that the District
is now At for such representation. but
only that they empower themselves to
grant such representation when in their
judgment the District has become thus
fitted.
To deny or vote against our amend
nent Is to declare not merely that the
District is not now At for representa-
ton. but that the defective and
delinquent residents Of the District will
never become thus fitted. though the
It is convinced OF the fitness OF the
District multiply its resources and a
population Of million or more be coll
lected in 1t. To vote against this amend
ment Is q denial Of the possibility OF
District representation. even though the
District attain the resources and
population and the other requisites Of
statehood which make it surpaSs a
dozen Of the States.
So even those who doubt whether the
District win ever be at for national
representation should not vote against
this amendment. Give the District q

national representation. In our Republic
ma1orities govern. Amend the Constitu-
ton 90 that majority Of Congress
may. IL 1t wishes, In the future. when
Il is convinced OF the fitness Of the
District. give national representation TO
the District residents. Give the people
Of the seat Of Government the same
possibility OF national representa- ton
that Hawaii and Alaska n9R possess.
Why should any Representative or
Senator vote against an amendment
which merely enlarges an existing
power Of Congress on equitable and
wholesome lines. and which simply EN-.
powers Congress TO remedy q political
tnequity whenever. IL ever, II is disposed
70 do 50: Why should Congress oppose
the grant TO itself of any new constitu-
tionai power with which those affected
are ready TO trust 1t? Surely Congress
does not miStrust itself.
The objections 10 our amendment,
when analyzed. are almost invariably
discovered 10 be attacks upon some
non-existent, imaginary evil which the
amendment has carefully avoided.

appearances.


appearances are deceitful" This Is
common phrase with which we are
al familiar. When we come to note our
judgments concerning men and things,
1t Is amazing to discover how much we
are governed by external appearances.
What men are on the outside affects
us more than what they are on the in
side. Very frequently the man in
homeSpun goes unnoticed while the
man in broaSicloth wins our confidence
and respect. The FIRST may be man
Of high virtue and splendid moral char
actcr; the second may be liberiine
and a villain. When Lincoln came TO
New York to make his famous Cooper
Union speech. the press and the public
generally noted his ungainly figure and
his ill-fitting clothes. the early portions
OF his speech were treated with disrc-
spect and indifference, but before he
had progressed far men began to forget
the STOPPING figure and the homely gar
ments. They discovered that behind
the rude exterior resided a great soul.
Our generation very largely estimates
the man by the measure of his success
or the extent OF his wealth. Little in
quiry IS made as TO how he gained
either. A good appearance Is reckoned
an indispensable asset, and a glib
tongue often hides the densest igno-
rance. The fact that man does not
wear his heart upon his sleeve is no
evidence that he lacks emotion or the
finer things OF sentiment.
When the great Master OF men sought
to teach the principles OF religion, He
insisted that they should not disclose
themselves in an ostentatious or vulgar
way. On one occasion He said. The
Kingdom of God cometh not with
observation" Speaking of the finer
aspects Of generosity. He maintained
that It's great virtues were humility and
Self-effacement. He would admoniSh
men who had generous impulses mot
to do their aims before men to be seen
of them" Snowy and ostentatiouS CIV
ing was repellent and unworthy. The
reward of generosity was to be found
in the inner satisfaction 1t gave, to-
gether with the consciousness that 1t
was approved Of God. He applied the
same principles to the devotional habit
