Bishop OF Washington

holds that they must disclose them
selves in certain distinct ways--flrst
to do Justly: second, to love mercy, and
third, to walk humbly with his God
The first implies q definite duty to self
A man cannot be Just with himself who
is Indifferent to the higher claims OF
his nature. He cannot be just with
himself If he neglects the development
and enrichment of his character
Again, he cannot be Just with himself
II he treats his body. which is the tenn
pie of the spirit. indulgently or care
lessly. What man is in himself not
only colors his outlook but nightly
affects his environment. 1t Is improb-
able that o man will be unjust to him.

mine what we owe to ourselves we In.
evitably determine what our obligations
are to others.
The second imperative that the
prophet recognizes Is to love mercy
This obviously determines our relations
to those whose lives In some wise we
influence. One who loves mercy l:
kind and generous In all his dealings
He lives by the law of kindness. Tc
love mercy literally means to walk the
ways of life. bringing Joy and satisfac.
ton to those who need 1t most. Mercy
says Shakespeare, lis twice blest---it
blesseth him that gives and him thai

The third great imperative is to walk
humbly with ones God. This clearly
defines a mans obligation to the Goo

virtue these days, but 1t Is nonetheles:
one OF the most beautiful that adorns
human life. It was said of our Lore

recognition OF religious obligation anc

The Olympic Games.

The Olympic games. revived about
thirty years ago after the lapse of many
centuries, were designed as a means o.
promoting international amity through
better understanding and closer associa'
ton. But in the development of these
sports held at intervals of four years
there has been an unfortunate growth
of hostility between the competing ma
tons and now doubts are expressed
whether they will long continue, Al
every quadrennial meet animoSities have
been manifested that have left their
scars The latest outbreak of feeling has
just occurred at Amsterdam. where,
owing to an unfortunate occurrence
due perhaps to the stupidity Of guard
at the. stadium. the French team refused
to participate in the parade preceding
the opening of the competition and may
withdraw from the contest altogether.
Should France continue in the compe-
tition, forty-eight nations will be repre-
santed in the games that start today
Germany returns to these matches after
an absence of sixteen years and is rep
resented by three hundred athletes. The
largest contingent comes from the United
States. 1t is this American preponder-
ance that has led to some of the most
serious frictions of recent olympiads.
The ranks have been so large that the
scores of the United States in the COM
petitions have been considerably ahead
of those of other nations. At some of
the olympiads the hosting OF the
American flag in token OF another win
ming in the finals for this country has
been the signal for demonstrations OF
dissent. Charges Of professionalism have
been brought against some of the Ameri-
can participants Even now the social
ed part-tine rule under which competi-
tors are compensated for losses Of time
and wages during the training season is
a subject of sharp dissension.
The ancient Greek games. which were
participated in for period OF seven
centuries. ending about fifteen hundred
years ago, degenerated into profession
alism and were finally abandoned be-
cause Of this decadence Il is feared
by some that the modern version OF
these athletic competitions is, more
rapidly. following the same course. Con-
seauently strong effort is to be made
by the international Olympic commit
tee during the four years succeeding
this event to reach an understanding
that will purge the competition OF the
ills to which it is now subject so that
at the Olympic games at Los Angeles IN
1882 there will be revival Of the spirit
of international amity, for the promo
ton of which the modern games were
instituted

he desires 10 leave his own lines for
others. But to loan such cars to bust
ness interests for pleasurings, without
charge, and to ask other roads to haul
them free is to trespass upon the field
of competitive transportation, Further
more, the extension of the courtesy of
free hauling and track use when the
car Is not employed In the business of
the owning railroad is to discriminate
in the matter of passenger rates.
1t is well that this abuse has been
brought to attention after research
into the extent to which the private
car custom has been carried. There
should be no facilities for travel, save
for the necessary uses Of the transpor-
tation company itself, that are not
available to all who are willing to pay
the established rates for such services.

The Bar Lends a Hand.

One of the concluding acts OF tils

GIRL BUCCANEER
/. STILL RULES
ON YACHT

HAVANA, Dec. g. Q.N.S.).-To To-day
was the fifth day that Miss Frances
Porte%. former American show girl,
and Atlanta (Ga) newspaper writer
flew the Jolly Roger" above her
Borrowed private yacht, the Nal
vern, defying officials and the boats
owner to take her ashore,
c. T. Whitehead, an Atlanta mil
lionaire. and owner Of the yacht,
who brought Miss Porter from
Florida as his guest, was unable
to exhibit that hospitality so stra-
ditional in the Southern States, for
he feared to go on board.
The Cuban immigration officials
have a warrant for the deportation
of Miss Porter as an undesirable.
Another warrant. sworn out by
Whitehead. charging Miss Porter
with assault. has been served upon
her by proxy. Whitehead alleges
Miss Porter stuck him with long
pin and hit him over the head with
her slipper during an argument.
Still armed with the pin and slip
per, Miss Porter remains in her
cabin on the Malvern. bossing the
yacht crew and. suffering from a
nervous attack, which, she said,
would probably prevent her from
appearing in police court on Satur-
day. She sent word ashore that
she is no better today.
Whitehead is showing no alarm
over the possibility that Miss
Porter may hoist anchor and sail
away. He told friends he would
like to "make up" but was afraid
to venture on board. He is living
in a hotel and expects to remain
here indefinitely hoping for recon
ciliation.
