4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, MAY 22. 1893-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY... ..May 22, 1893. STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washingten three times larger than that efany other paper in the city. As = lecal NEWS paper and Ad- Vertising Medium it has ne competitor. Summer time is not far away, and although Ventilation iy something that should receive attention all the year round, its necessity is most apparent when there is either extreme atmospheric heat or cold. Many people suffer Sreat discomfort from a failure to exercise the most ordinary kind of sense in this important matter, while many more achieve disense and death through disregard of generally well- known principles. But these ills do not always have their origin in the people’s homes. and but few eases owe their birth to places of public amusement, for the desire of intelligent beings to be comfortable controls the doors and windows of their domiciles, while the almighty dollar impels the management of thea- ters and concert halls to ventilate after the most approved methods. But the weak spots are the churches. Washington bas a number of fine edifices devoted to religious work, and only a few of them are so equipped as to provide their congregations with a plentiful supply of the purest and coolest air available. In the others things are so misarranged and mismanaged as to make the exhaustion of oxygen, and conse- quent congregational drowsiness as easy as the proverbial “rolling off log.” With every sa- loon in the city provided with electric fans and other aids to low temperature it may be ques- tioned whether there is worldly wisdom in pro- viding those piaces where the conscience may be aroused with anti-bygienic and repellant means of putting sinners into a torpid, half-asleep con- dition in which they respond to no appeal. ‘Truths that would strike directly home in s pure atmosphere are rendered pointless by car- bonie acid gas while strains of what would, at a temperature of fifty degrees, be soul-touching music are without effect when the interior ther- mometric register is higher than the leading so- prano’s loftiest note. This is the time when those in authority should see to it that the great audience rooms are fitted to receive the thousands who will sit in them at least once on each of the several warm Sundays that are coming. --— + ee —___ In these days of keen competition, when the majority of active mankind is engaged in con- tinuous and unhealthy search for the almighty dollar it is refreshing to note that such « great corporation as the Lake Superior Iron Com- pany has by timely liberality established rela- tions with its employes that eannot result in anything but mutual prosperity. Until re- cently the wage earners on the company’s rolls toiled for ten hours each day and received what was generally regarded as satisfactory recompense. With that condition the company might have been content, but it was not. It proposed a reduction of each working day to eight hours, and, strangely enough, did not Propose any reduction of pay. Very cheerfully was the scheme indorsed by those whom it was primarily intended to benefit, for they held » meeting and notified the management that they would endeavor to do as much work in eight hours as they had previously done in ten. That they will do it is highly probable. Experiment in that direction has proven its possibility. The example is a good one. —_sroo___. ‘There is nothing alarming in Secretary Her- bert’s letter to the commandant of the Wash- ington Navy Yard. It is just such » business- like communication as might be expected from ‘an official who proposed to do his duty without regard to political considerations. He simply wants to know whether there are any superfiu- ous or incompetent employes in the establish- mentand if there should be such will very Properly discharge them. Only by so doing cana high standard of efficiency be attained and maintained. ——$_—_.ee—__ ‘The World’s Fair southern edition of the Baltimore News is a fair specimen of what Bal- timore can do when it wants to. Sixty-four pages of information and illustration give ample evidence of the energy which is making Baltimore a greater mercantile center than ever before and the News an equally sive feature of its advancement. Jf anybody needs concise and readable sketches of southern industrial growth he may find what he seeks in this special edition of the News. Susans lyre on ‘The determination of Attorney General Olney to rigidly enforce the world’s fair Sunday closing law has again encouraged the New York World to remind him that there are several trusts which keep open all the year round. If the ‘Washington ba Dase bal bail managem management will only stretch a canvas shelter over what are known as the “bleaching boards” the team will be partially forgiven for its hasty retreat from first place. +e ___ In considering the question of courtesies, the Infanta will remember that with the office seekers, and the tariff and various other things, Mr. Cleveland is really a very busy man, — The dragging in of Ward McAllister to de- liver opinions on the reception of the Infanta 4s extremely unkind to everybody concerned. oe Of the many reports which will be made to the general assembly of the Presbyterian Chureh, now in session in this city, none be so generally read or more frequently dis- cussed than that which—printed in a recent issue of Tux Star—deals with what is un- donbtediy to be the question of the twentieth century, viz. the temperance question. The conclusions reached by the assembly permanent committee on temperance are mot in any sense surprising; in fact, none other were expected. It would be mani- festly impossidle for a religious body founded on the highest forms of true morality to even hint at « policy which it believes to be a compromise with evileven although its common every day sense insisted that a licensed liquor traffic must be preferable to a governmental condition which in many places allowed the sale of intoxicants to proceed withoutany hindrance whatsoever. In the report it appears that no- where among all the presbyteries and church sessions is there advocacy of or apology for the present license system; all are arrayed with the prohibition element. A church in Ilinois is quoted to show that a license fee of €1,000 did reduce the number of saloons, but the volume of sales suffered no diminution. One Pennsylvania presbytery regards high license as an utter failure, another says that it only gives respectability to the trafic, while a third has it that “high licens» fails to restrict the trafic or to re. duce intemperance.” More sweeping tha a any of the condemnations is the one comir g from Montana, in which it is asserted that “our license laws of course protect the V.quor busi- Bess to its entire satisfaction, nei’ her restrict- ing nor reducing intemperance or crime, but fucreasing both to alarming proportions, while Prostitution aud gambling, natural allies of the saloon, swell the tide of corrup- | tion, sweeping away with awful ra- Pidity not ouly men aud women, but bors aud girls as well.” After careful study of the other crimes and vices. From these premises it is argued that having licensed the sale of in- toxicants it is logically impossible to refuse similar protective privileges to prostitution and gambling. This alleged impossibility bas undoubtedly been recognized in several cities, notably in Omaha, where the two varieties of vice referred to are bya schedule of fines virtually licensed. Turning away from home, the committee unequivocally condemns the Gothenburg or “public conduct” system and claims that under the operation of those regu- lations in Sweden the per capita consumption of ardent spirits has increased. From beginning to end the document isa scathing indictment and against many of its charges no defense that will stand can possibly be set up, but there is weakness in the prosecution because it fails to take note of present social conditions. Ad- mitting that strong drink is the cause of ninety- five per cent of our crime—that it fills our jails and insane asylums and poor houses and costs us countless millions for remedial and re- pressive measures—it should be borne in mind that a great proportion of our people drink it of their own free will, and that millions of them will continue to drink it until they die. The time will never come when any law that has not behind it the force of public sentiment caneven be reasonably enforced. The primary work to which the advocates of prohibition should ad- dress themselves is the conversion of the indi- vidual, and when a sufficiency of these have de- cided in favor of total abstinence it will be pos- sible to legislate prohibition and to make that legislation effective. As one eminent at- tendant upon Presbyterian means of grace has said “It is = condition and nota theory which confronts us.” High license will wipe out the low dives; it centralizes the traffic and makes authoritative and all other forms of supervision comparatively easy; it is practical. In our large cities it is a more effective prohibitive measure than legislative prohibition, imposed in opposition to local urban sentiment by the outside rural voters. It will be a great day for this country when the majority decides to trample on every remnant of immorality, when men and women shall be greater than their appetites, when justice shall everywhere be supreme and the golden rule shines as the sun, when the nations shall war Bo more and the lion and the lamb—each re- taining his individuality—shall lie down to- gether. But that day is not yet. ———_—_+eo—___ A great many people—and that means agreat many newspapers—who would like to discuss the Sunday opening of the World's Fair are estopped just now by the fact that an existing contract between the United States and the Chicago managers of the exposition compels the gates to remain closed on the first day of each week. Of its own accord Chicago came to Congress and asked for a five-million dollarcon- tribution. ‘The national legislature expressed its willingness to donate one half that amount in half dollars that would probably sell fora dollar each but insisted that if such a gift was made it would be only upon the condition that the fair should be closed to the public on the Sabbath. On those terms the bargain was concluded; Chicago being pre- sented with €2,500,000, which it proceeded to sell atan advance of one hundred per cent, while Congress received Chicago's assurance that the Exposition would be open only on week days. That agreement is still in active exist- ence, and so long as it has life it must be re- spected. If Chicago realiy believes that for moral and financial reasons the show should be open Sundays, it must, of course, return at once to the Treasury the cash which was ob- tained on the Sunday closing condition. 1t has been intimated that the local directorate of the exposition proposes to dis- regard its obligation, defy the law, use the money conditionally offered by the United States, and when the fair is over, if by any chance the moneyis on hand and available after Payment: of other debts, return to Congress the sum it secured under the violated contract. Such a procedure would never do. It would damage the city’s good mame more effectually than great conflagrations could injure its credit. If Chicago is sincere in ite efforts to bring about Sunday opening let it first deposit in the Treas ury conscience fund—if there is no more legiti- mate place of bestowal-—every dollar it received under the agreement, When that has beon done then it will be possible for people who respect m contract to discuss the Sunday open- ing question on its merits, ee Among the many handsome golden wedding presents received today by the Rev.
