Master of Men"

All over the world today Christian
churches of every name are recognizing
the beginning Of another Holy week
This is universally called Palm Sun
day" It is so named because of the in
cidents related to Christ's entry into
Jerusalem ON the eve of His passion
wherein it is stated that they greeted
Him with hosannas and took branches
of palm trees and went forth to meet
Him. 1t is the one single incident in the
life of Jesus where popular favor &C
claimed Him. For a brief moment He
seemed to be invested with royal pre-
negatives, but the same voices that &C
claimed Him as the son of David would
shortly cry out in hatred, Cruelty
HIM" How frequently in the course OF
human events has this incident been
paralleled. How frequently has the
world in burst of enthusiasm given
it's applause and favor to some chosen
son, lifting him to the apex of distinc-
ton and power, only to exhibit, after a
brief space of high approval, condemna-
ton and crucifixion. The colorful his
tory of those who have risen to fame
and distinction is in the main sad and
tragic one. Public favor is tickle. The
experience of the great Master Is no ex-
ception to the general rule. All the
events of Holy week constitute a sad
commentary on the frailties and weak
nesses of human nature. Against the
dark and shadowy background of week
of tragic experiences He stands out in
bold relief, a sovereign master of men.
IT, If I be lifted up will draw all men
unto Me-" was His strange and seeming
" irreconcilable declaration. The road
He travelled on that eventful week so
long ago, while marked by the folly and
cupidity of the multitude. has become
the highway over which millions have
travelled to behold Him upon His up
lifted cross as the worlds mighty Lord
and Redeemer Of men. No record in
human history is more bewilderingly
fascinating, even If tragically sad, than
that which rehearses the incidents Of

benefiting both the public service and
the people who are involved in negotia-
tons.
Thus these spindling steel uprights
that are now being set up on the site
opposite the National Museum are tokens
of the better times, when Washington
will be place Of rich architectural at
Effectiveness and when the Government
will be equipped as it has never been
with adequate accommodations for the
transaction of the Federal business. All
the incidental nuisances of construction,
the noise and dirt and the blockading
of thoroughfares are to be cheerfully
borne, indeed welcomed, as evidences of
progress toward this long-desired end.

EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES E. FREEMAN, D. D. Ii. D,
Bishop of Washington

Holy week. Upon these incidents
world religion has been built up and
system of life predicated that has won
the veneration and devotion of men the
world over. 1t is little wonder that a
critical student of history surveying 19
centuries of human action declares that
the mightiest fact upon which the
Christian church has been builded is
the uplifted Son of God upon the
cross"
Victor Hugo calls the cross 1.-The first
tree of liberty" and the lonely Napoleon
on st. Helena, in deep reflection, MAIN
tains that the sinless Son Of God in
contrast with other world rulers dom
mates human thought and action with
the scepter of love.
No matter how we may interpret or
with what reverence we may regard the
events of this Holy week, they witness
to fact that has wider influence
upon human thought and habit than
any other single incident in recorded
history. The world has witnessed many
heroic figures. It has its martyrs with
out number. Many Of its chapters re-
cord incidents that are irresistibly APP
pealing, and yet no thoughtful or re-
Elective student of history can find any
thing comparable to the sublime figure
about whom the events of this week
revolve. He stands alone among all the
sons of men. It is little wonder that,
beholding Him as He dies on the cross,
a stern Roman soldier cries out, Truly,
this was the Son of Godl"
The whole story of this week has left
a more enduring impression upon the
race than any other single incident re-
corded. The sheer persistence Of this
lonely and crucified Christ, His infiu-
ence upon mankind the world over is a
fact of such stupendous proportions that
to this latest day its significance and
thought of all men.
Calvary's mournful mountain climb;
There, adoring at His feet,
Mark the miracle OF time,
Gods own sacrifice complete;

Business Men as Politicians.

John j. Raskobs return to COM
mercial activity. which is reported to
be imminent, is designed to call forth
contemplative discussion of the role Of
the business man in politics. AS all
the world knows, the Democratic ma
tional chairman of 1928 was suddenly
snatched from the board Of General
Motors to become the commander-in-
chief of Gov. Smiths presidential for
tunes. AS is equally well known, Mr..
Raskob's maiden venture In high poll
tics did not eventuate in laurels. The
campaign he managed-if that is the
word--vas the most disastrous in the
history of the Democratic party.
It would be ungenerous and unjusti-
fable to say that Mr. Raskob was to
blame for Gov. Smiths overwhelming
defeat at the polls. That was precipi-
tated by causes which no national
chairman, amateur or professional poll
tician as he may have been, could have
averted. The imponderables OF 1928
could hardly have been surmounted by
any Democratic candidate for the
presidency handicapped-as events
turned out--as Gov. Smith was.
But now that 1t can be told, it is an
open secret that the innovation of put
ting a business man, utterly unframed
in the game of politics, IN supreme con-
troll of great party's campaign proved
a first -claSs flasco. American politics
especially In presidential year, has
become a highly specialized field. A
captain Of industry. who is nothing
more than that, is out Of his elernen

Germany and Trotsky.

1t appears from a dispatch from
Berlin that the plan to provide home
in Germany for Leon Trotsky, whom
the Russian Soviet has disciplined and
exiled, is not developing in accord with
the hopes of the friends of the former
commissar for war. Trotsky is now IN
Turkey. The Moscow government would
like to have him in position in which
he would be unable to leave in hurry
for Russia. It would really prefer that
he be located In one Of the more amen
able and friendly semi-independent
states east of the Black Sea, but 1t is
not in a position to dictate his location
short of taking him prisoner by force
and removing him. The plan for
German residence for him originated
with his friends in Germany who are
of his own way Of thinking on matters
governmental. All the details of his
domicile in Germany had been worked
out when the matter was brought before
the cabinet at Berlin for consideration.
It then developed that there was
decided opposition to the plan. Chancel-
lor Mueller objected to the admission
of Trotsky because, regardless OF the
question of diplomatic relations with
the Soviet government, Germany might
find itself unable to expel him, when
once admitted, If his presence should
become Objectionable. It seems that
Prussia has been favorable to Trotsky's
residence there, and this favor would be
factor of embarrassment in case
Trotsky, domiciled in that state, should
become unwelcome to the Reich.
It is assumed that Trotsky, wherever
he may be, will continue as an active
protagonist for the maximum Of Marx
ism in government, which is to say an
extreme bolshevist. His differences with
the government at Moscow are due
chiefly to his insistence upon the
original theories Of Lenin. He is also q
stanch advocate Of universal boil
shevism through propaganda. The
present ruling group at Moscow is COM
ing to realize that the activities in other
countries of the Third Internationale,
with which the Soviet government Is
closely identified through an "interlock-
ing directorate" are seriously harmful
to the best interests Of Russia. The
Stain government-as the Russian
government is in fact--would be much
disturbed to have Trotsky just over the
border in Germany, surrounded by
partisans' who would undoubtedly en-
courage him to conduct a vigorous
campaign. And likewise the Berlin
government would be disturbed to have
this firebrand Of bolshevism in Ger
many. So for the present Trotsky and
his typewriter will probably stay in
Constantinople, at least during the
period Of recuperation from his physical
and political disabilities.

Hoover's Experience as Cabinet Officer
OF Value i'm His Presidential Service

the recent executive order for larger
publicity on refunds of income taxes.
The partition of the responsibility and
of the credit for that order between the
President and Mr.. Mellon seems, more
or less, in human chaotic fact, to be
as follows:
The President and Mr.. Mellon dis
cussed the matter together. Mr.. Mel
lon came forward with the suggestion
for the larger publicity. He had made
no such suggestion under the former
President. The new President provided
a new atmosphere. In that new atmos-
phere Mr. Mellon took new initiative
He suggested the larger publicity under
two influences: /. Hoover's momentum;
2, his own motion.
The fact Is that new momentum
does exist under Hoover. The fact Is
that Mr.. Mellon made the motion for
a larger publicity on income tax re-
funds absolutely out of his own mind
and absolutely without any language
toward that end from the President.
Add those two facts together and you
have the gist Of the structure and tenn
per Of the present official family life
of the President and his cabinet.
Mr.. Hoover is providing the climate.
The cabinet ministers are themselves
growing the new Spring crops of re-
forms and earnest adventures.
Precisely that same thing Is going to
be done-and Is in process of being
lonely the President toward Congress
The President says he win not write any
laws for Congress to pass He means 1t.
He won't. He will defer to the legisla-
tive initiative of Congress precisely as
he defers to the administrative initiative
of his cabinet ministers. The outcome
begins to be the same. Congressman,
conscious of his difference to them. wish
also to defer to him, and they consult
him, and catch the climate. The Presi-
dent remains not the dictatorial but
the energiZing force.
That's the lesson of the last weeks,
and the prospects Of the next years.

Those Red Steel Tokens.

The spectacle Of red steel rising on
the site Of the Internal Revenue Build
ing between Tenth and Twelfth, B and
c streets, gives Joy to those who have
been hoping and waiting for so many
years for the Government to equip itself
suitably at the Capital with housing ac-
commodations. These frames are the
first real construction sign Of a program
that will require several years for COM
pletion, a program involving the ex-
penditure of perhaps s2o0,ooo000 for
land and buildings, and that WILL when
ended, not only give the Government
suitable setting for its work, but will
transform the Capital into place Of
unapproached beauty.
To look upon the site Of the Internal
Revenue Building, which thus is getting
the first color" Of construction, is 10
gain concept of the magnitude OF the
work which Is under way. At the same
time this spectacle suggests the in
adequacy of the accommodations which
have been endured for long period.
The great bureau that is to occupy the
building on this site is now housed IN
nearly two-score Of structures. scattered
over an area Of several square miles.
When the building now beginning Is oc-
cupied 1t will bring together for the first
time all these scattered units, and will
permit an administration Of the public
business such as has never been possible
in this branch before. And the same is
true of other branches of the Govern
ment departments and bureaus that are
TO be housed within the Mall-Avenue
triangle. The United States will save
annually great sums In rentals, sums
sufficient to pay the interest on the cost
of the new construction. But that will
not be the only saving. For the Govern
ment's work will be much more etficient-
ly done. There will be saving Of time,

e'THE FATHER OF HIS COUNTRYn

While time endures the of George Washing
ton whose birthday celebrate today, will be revered
by all lovers OF liberty and patriotism.
Not only is Washington the most illustrious name
IN American history the story of his life is known
throughout the world and each generation learns
1t is to be regretted that our histories so generally
portray Washington austere and far above the
dlnary mortal as to be unapproachable An intimate
study of his life proves the fallacy of this picture He
was intensely human, with normal human beings
shortcomings These however, were completely sub
merged in his splendid achievements
1t is also to be regretted that the example set by
Washington is not the one most popular with many
Americans Of today. He set love of Justice love of
the right respect for law and constituted authority
above personal desire In view of the fact that Wash
ngton headed rebellion against what in his time
constituted authority, the foregoing statement may ap-
pear incorrect. Yet Washington rebelled only when
constituted authority had rampled the prerogatives
Of free that had forfeited the right to govern
We hear so much these days of graft in public Of
lice, OF dIsoyay to sworn pledges of contempt for
law and authority, that the principles followed by
Washington assume an even greater grandeur. He led
the American army throughout the entire Revolution
without pay, and his terized of expenses ex
cluded many which he met out of his own purse
to aid the cause of liberty strict discplinarian to
his men, he even more so with himself and made
no demands upon them that he was not likewise ready
to meet.
To Washington liberty did not mean license. an in
depreciation too willingly placed upon the word by
many Of today. He realized that liberty imposes
responsibilities upon the individual which must be met
and that he who will not them does not deserve
the liberty which he demands.
Too many Americans limit their knowledge of
ashngton TO the fable of the cherry the some
what exaggerated picture of him crossing the Della
ware; and to other relatively unimportant incidents
in his life. His faith and fortitude in the face of p
parenty impossible barriers his selfsacrifce and de
Voon TO duty his courage and high ideals of character
are rich heritage which he bequeahed to his people.
Like the life Of Lincoln the life of Washington affords
an excellent study anti inspiration to who call
selves Americans.
