him that he should decide to make the
little hop down South, just sort of q

So, on Sunday afternoon he ordered

'1The severe losses Of the I.aborites in

the Conservatives AZ the same time
they are a warning. Suppose that
things go from bad TO worse. The Labor

Then, unless the is an unsupported
sudden revival of trade and diminution
Of unemployment, what becomes Of all
their beautiful promises? Isn't it bet
ter to let Labor be the scapegoat?"
The feeling that "during the present
session Of Parliament it is not impossi-
BILE that the Laborite government viii
go out of Office and that Stanley Bald
win will retire into private life," Is im-
pressed upon the Boston Transcript,
which observes that the latter ''is being
assailed by the die-hardS of the Con-
seryatiyes or by some of the more pro-
gressive elements of the party" and
concludes: He is disguised with the
attitude of his followers, and while he
may be disposed to meet some of their
proposals half way, he will not conde-

peace-loying as he is, his spirit can
easily be aroused when his independence
of action is threatened"
The Cleveland News agrees that the
Conservatives seem not to be in the
best of form for taking the job Of gov

"co-operation between the Laborites and
the Liberals, not merely during the ses-
sion Just begun, but. more important
still, in the general election which Lead
ers Of all the parties concede cannot be

Post says that "a general election might

now existing, which would give Ramsay
Macdonald a new but still precarious

The War Memorial.

Progress in securing the remaining
funds necessary to begin work on WASH
ington's war memorial Is noted with
satisfaction. Organized labor in WASH
ington asked for and received, some
time ago, the privilege of raising the
balance between the large amount al.
ready subscribed for the memorial and
the total sum considered necessary be-
fore the actual work of construction
could start. Today's announcement,
which appears elsewhere in The Star,
records the splendid success reported
by the Executive Committee of the Gen.
trail Labor Union which has set a goal
Of $4,000 and is about to reach that
mark. With total sum of approx
mately $155,o00 in sight as the result Of
the campaign by organized labor in the
District, assurances have been given
that construction Of the Doric temple
of music near the Lincoln Memorial
will begin next Spring.
Thus this beautiful monument, SYM
bolizing Washington's reverent memory
of its men and women who gave their
lives in the war, will stand as the prod
uct Of an organized community effort
that Is unique. The contributions to
the memorial have been confined to
no class or sect. The fine and generous
response of the city's labor organiza-
tons is their fitting recognition Of OPP
portunity TO I'LL in the gaps and con-

Gambling in England
Scored by Churchman.
Manchester Guardian.--"A gamble Is
a transaction whereby the transfer OF
something of value is made wholly de-
pendent upon chance" So Canon
Peter Green said recently when giving
an official definition of gambling at
the annual meeting of the Anti-Gam-
bling Committee of the Manchester ana
Stafford Council of the Christian Con-
gregations. The gambling spirit is the
desire to get something for nothing
and has been described by the chan
cellor of the exchequer, Mr.. Snowden,
as more a vice of our age than drink
and RIGHTEOUSNESS What little progress
has been made in combating this evil
was destroyed by the last government
when It introduced the taxation OF bet
ting. What is the good Of saying to
any young man that gambling Is wrong
when we can turn right around and
show the national stamp on the betting
ticket? Women are gambling as much
as the men. There are streets In Man
chester and Stafford where on the day
Of big race nearly every woman is at
her door waiting to buy the o'clock
edition.
Some contend that gambling Is q
natural instinct of the human heart
and that 1t cannot be eradtcated, put
the same might be said Of cannibalism.
Business men in favor of race tracks
and gambling in other sports do not
seem to be aware of the harm done
by the withdrawal from industry Of $780,
600, 900 pounds devoted to gambling in
the last few years. Time in the work.
shops and trade in the shops are CONF
pletely lost through these reprehensible
manipulations. Gambling is telling
against the making of better men. 1t
feeds the basest passions of human ma
ture. The chief constable of Manches-
ter is to be congratulated on removing
gambling machines from the shops, by
which children were taught the vice.
He has been called kill JOY" but the
real "kill-joys" are those who first In
troduced gambling into honest British
sports.

authority seemed TO care much whether
wisconsin avenue made good impress
sion upon visitors to washington or not.
with the World War, however, q
change began to come over the avenue
named after q great Western State. A
veritable cleanup campaign went into
effect, with the result that during the
past five years q tremendous develop
ment for the better has taken place.
The opening of new residence COM
munities and the paving and widening
of wisconsin avenue have given to the
thoroughfare busy air of progress.
This has been complicated by an In
cessant rush of motor traffic, which
has rendered this highway one of the
most dangerous leading into Washing
ton.
Particularly has the distance between
the District line and Bradley lane ben
beset with danger to children and other
pedestrians. The Brookeville road, to the
east Of Connecticut avenue, north. Of
Chevy Chase Circle, is similarly handi-
capped and made dangerous by lack
of a sidewalk between the circle and
Quincy street, almost a mile north.
The sidewalk is an essential along
such travelled roads, and no such high
way can be regarded as complete with
out one. II there cannot be one on
either side Of the avenue, at least
there should be one on the east side.
washington and its contiguous territory
to the north will be benefited by such
an improvement, and the entire aspect
Of this major entrance to the District
Of Columbia improved by such a con-
struction program.

Supports Gen. Smith
In Grid Controversy
TO the Editor Of The Star:

TO the EDITOR OF Tnf STAR
Your editorial, "a Strange Stand" Is
unfair. You probably are basing your
conclusions upon a meager knowledge
of conditions.
You drag In the controversy over the
broken contract. That controversy has
absolutely nothing to do with the case.
Gen. Smith Is unalterably opposed TO
poSt-season games because they must
come during the most critical period of
cadets school year-during the
''wrtts" or general review period-when
marks have extra weight and when
many men who have gotten low marks
in daily recitations have chance TO
pull up their averages. I heard Gen.
Smith say last December that it was
a great mistake TO consider playing
post-season games.
If am not in error, this is not the
first time Navy has approached the
Army for post-season game IN 1880.
You refer to stubborn attitude. It
takes moral courage to do what ones
lights tell one is the right thing to do.
1 admire Gen. Smith for standing by
his convictions.
Just between us, the public Is not
getting fed up no end" as you express
It. The long-suhering public does not
give a hand-painted toot about the
Army-Navy game, or about the Harvard
Princeton affair either. A few head
line hunters, few space filters, q few
,rabid partisans burst forth periodicaIly.

Co-operation.

Leaders of the Democratic party
have offered, and the Republican party
through Senator Watson of Indiana
has accepted, cooperation with the
Republican administration and the Re-
publican members of Congress to put
through legislation designed to improve
conditions in this country. 1t is q
healthful and helpful sign. Corpora
ton by the two major political parties
at the present time would be far bet
ter for the country than coalition"
such as maintained in the Senate of
the United States during the last two
years, and indeed for a number of years
prior to the beginning Of the Hoover
administration. For the coalition re-
suited merely in obstruction.
Republicans and Democrats have
worked together In the interests of the
country in past times of emergency
In 1898, when the United States was at
war with Spain, a Republican Presi-
dent sat in the White House. This did
not interfere with nor halt the Demo-
Gratis in performing meritorious serv-
ices for the Republic. Twenty years
later Democrat was Chief Executive
Of the Nation when this country was
drawn into the vortex Of the World
War. The Republicans of the country
rallied TO the support Of the Govern
ment Loyalty. Politics was forgotten
Admittedly in times Of peace It is
more difncult for men to forget their
political differences. But cooperation
Of the members of Congress to meet
the present situation, when business has
Jagged and many persons are out of
work, when farmers in many States
have suffered from one of the most
disastrous droughts in years, may be
as truly patriotic as cooperation when
the country is at war with a foreign
army. Assuredly 1t is greatly to be
desired at the present time.
The offer Of the Democratic leaders.
as Senator Watson in his statement
accepting the prefer of aid points out,
is intended to allay the fear of busi-
ness that long legislative battles over
measures that might cause uncertainty
and delay q return Of production may
arise in the coming session Of the old
Congress and In the new Congress when
that body meets next year. AS matter
Of fact, cooperation of the Democrats
with the Republicans In the Congress
which begins its final session here
Monday, December /, is the essence Of
the situation. It may be thirteen
months before the new Congress assem-
bles. Only q call for special session
Of the next Congfess would bring it
together before December, 1881. The
new Congress will have nothing what
ever to do with the legislation which
may be needed to alleviate suffering this
WINTER.
There Is q third group, the Republic
an insurgents, who through coalition
with the Democrats in the present Con-
gress have sought to impress their will
for legislation which the majority has
considered unwise. 1t would be- indeed,
healthy sign If leaders Of this group
should also give some indication to the
country that It, too, will cooperate to
bring better times II possible through
legislative action.

Q. Please give some information about
Bahaism.-P. s.
A. The religious sect known as Ba-
haism originated in Persia in 1874. The
first prophet was Ali Mohammed, or the
Bah. Hosein Ali was the first adherent
Of the Bah and later announced HIM
| self as the one Bah foretold. He
became known as Baha'u'llah. He died
In 1892, and before his departure named
his oldest son, Abdul BAHIA Abbas, inter-
| prefer Of his text and the center OF
his covenant. He passed away November
| %, 1921, and in his will designated
his grandson, Shoghi Effendi, guardian
OF the cause. The general principles
Of the Bahais founded upon the teach
ings Of Bahau'llah are: The Oneness of
mankind; the independent investigation
Of truth; the foundation of all religions
is one; religion must be the cause of
unity; religion must be in accord with
| science and reason; equality between
man and woman; prejudice Of all kinds
must be forgotten; universal peace;
universal education; solution of the
economic problem; a universal language;
an international tribunal. The Bahais
believe in the essential necessity of the
intermediation of the Messianic princi-
pie, or the Holy Spirit, in the life of
humanity.
