By this time even the most unconcerned among Washingtonians must have rational ideas 4s to what the Young Peeple’s Sc- ciety of Christian Endeavor is; so much has been printed about the organization that a plea of ignorance would hardly be received. But only a minority of those who are ready to welcome the Endeavorers have giver: any thought to the secular sig- nificance of the Society. Formed in a Con- tional reh and nurtured wholly gious bodies of various denomina- tions, it fs not remarkable that the public is inclined to measure Endeavor usefulness by its purely religious achievements. This srement is not displeasing to the En- deavorers; in fact they insist most strenu- ously that the Society of Christian En- deavor is first and last and always a re- ligious scciety. It has, says President Clark, social and literary and other fea- tures, but it is neither a social nor literary society. The platform of principles accept- ed generally by the societies declares that “the purely religious features of the or- ganization shall always be paramount. The Society of Christian Endeavor centers about the prayer meeting.” Yet the worldly man will err egregiously if he imagires that the organization's influence is circumscribed. The spirit which actuates nearly three million _Endeavorers cannot be #o hedged about that it will not make appearance in other than religious fields. Fidelity to Christian Erdeavor principles means the best of good citizenship. All the teachings of the organization encourage men and women to daily life on the highest plane of earthly, everyday ex!stence, and to these teachings the vast majority of Endeavorers respond with enthusiasm. How much this means to the republic no one can now cal- culate, Lut that !t is one of the most im- portant factors in our progress toward the best available civilization will not be de- nied. When the more active young people of all evangelical denominations combine to improve the ccnditions of human exist- ence the!r energies must bring about ma- terial betterment in a great many matters with which the Society, as a society, is not supposed to be directly concerned. Careful management of the organization may easily and speedily result in yet more marvel s increase of membership, but ng that the number does not over- e three million line it must be ev dent that the nation will be inestimably better off because of the work which Is being done by those whose representatives are tu be in session here for several days. Practical Christianity is the power that must or later relieve the nation of the strangling incubus of ‘practical’ politics; will work that purification of electoral methods which has been sneered at as millennial; will wipe out the blot of municipal corruption that now stains the reputation of many ci ; will give us bet- ter laws and make certain the enforcement of every statute. Practical Christianity is not a stranger im Washington. The En- deavorers who come here will be met by Endeavorers the impress of + lives is on the city. Behind the reception committees stand the residents of the Nationa: Capital who, unmindful of religious beliefs and denominational di- visions, are one in their desire to make the Fifteenth International Convention the Invst delightful and most memorable of all the gatherings ever heid by the Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor. ————+e+s—____ Defeated Yate. Yale's crew at Henley made a gallant fight but was beaten. Every true American had hoped for a Yale victory but for sev- eral days before the race there had been Uitle solid material upon which to base corfidence. When the crew left this coun- try competent critics declared every mem- ber of the organization to be in the finest physical condition, but for some reason or other the crew never appeared in anything Hike as geod form on the other side of the Atlantic as mM did here. Thea there was waste of time and energy in unsatisfactory experimeats, foohshly permitted at the last moment. All the circumstances considered Yale rowed a good race but when the Leanders won it was the expected that happened. —___+-«=___ Chasing the Lynchers. Gov. Lowndes has offered a reward of $1,000 for the arrest of the Cocking lynch- ers, and a similar reward for the capture of any or all of the men who lynched Ran- dolph. Maryland's chief executive was moved to this action by his belief that the sheriffs of Charlies and Montgomery coun- ties had failed to do their duty. To a rep- resentative of The Star the governor ex- pressed regret that the law did not give him the power to remove those officials. The sheriffs in question now have double opportunities; if they are so-minded they can at once redeem their reputations as otiicers and earn a thousand dollars each. —<--+-—___ The gold demcerats deciare that they will not bolt, but do not bind themselves not to make trouble. seo Mr. Hill's temporary chairmanship was More than usually transitory In its nature. —__— + = —__ Farmer Bland Is doing his level best to make hay while the sun shines. ——_ + ee ‘The Chicaszo Platform. ‘Those men who advocated a campaign upen the single issue of silver have been defeated at Chicago. The extremists on many Issues have triumphed. Not the Mc- Leans, but the Altgelds and the Tillmans have written the platform. Free coinage as an independent act by this government is in it, but there is much else besides, and much that ts of a startling and complicat- ing character. Silver leads, but 18 coupled with an at- tack on the national banks. Those institu- tions, though not by name, are condemned, and the preposition is laid down that “all paper money shall be Issued directly by the Treasury Department.” What becomes of the question of state banks, in which the south was until recently so very much interested? ‘The tariff question is handled gingerly. that of four Se cen ‘Taxation for reve- nue only is insisted upen, but not in ring- ing or aggressive terms. The necessity of. Frotecting labor iswecognized, but the la- ‘bering man is assured that this may best be done not by high duties on foreign- mede goods, but by keeping out the pauper labor of other countries. ‘The Wilson bill, which the President would not sign, be- cause, as he charged, it failed to redeem the party's promises to the people, is to stand until the money question has been disposed of. ‘The plank in favor of an income tax wiil be warmly resented in the east. The pro- pesition has repeatedly been denounced as pcrulistic. Mr. Hill's sole reason for re- fusing to vote for the Wilson bill was be- cause it embraced a provision for an in- ccme tax. Gov. Altgeld scores a distinct personal trivmph in the plank respecting the appeal te federal courts in local affairs. The ref- erence is to the Debs’ strike. And yet in the part he played in that matter the President received the praise and support of every democratic Senator in Congress. Mr. Daniel, the temporary presiding officer at Chicago, indorsed the President's ac- ticn in a speech of much warmth. The plank respecting the civil service is a curicsity. It declares for the merit sys- tem, and yet against the security of a men in his place after he has reached it by good service. The deliverance is, in ef- fect, a clumsily phrased bid for support on the old spoils basis. Nothing more contra- dictory in terms has appeared in. print since the famous distich wherein the per- mission to g2 in swimming was coupled with the solemn injunction not to go near the water. ‘The plank vgainst a third term appro- priately goes with a platform designed as @ repudiation of Mr. Cleveland from top to bottom. And that will probably meet with the secret sympathy of a good many sound money democrats, who have com- plained that the third term specter injured their cause. The platform, as a whole, is a bid for the discontented of all parties. Ex-republicans, tresh from their old camp; ex-democrats, in the persons of populists row several years old, and democrats chafing under eastern domination, are invited to get to- gether and are encouraged to believe that by doing so they can sweep the country. Sops are thrown in every direction. Can such a play win? The country is in a state of steat unrest. The number of the discon tented is large. But when the people come to consider what is at stake, will they in- dorse at the polls a policy so comprehen- sive in new and revolutionary expedients? ——_~+=____ Two ,Munual Training Institutes. It is understood that the Committee cn Ways and Means of the Board of Schovl Trustees is engaged in the task of prepar- ing the school estimates for the next fiscal year. Suitable provision will, of course, be made, so far as the committee can make it, for the proper maintenance of all the existing features of the public school sys- tem, but those features alone will not sat- isfy the public. For three years, we be- lieve, the committee and the board have recommended material extension of the manual training facilities and have urged upon the Commissioners and upon Con- gress the necessity for appropriations suf- fictent to establish here two manual irain- ing institutes; one for white children and one for colored children. Those recom- mendations have never received the consii- eration they deserved; last year the Com- missioners cut them out of the estimates and thus put a stop to every possibility of favorable action by Congress. Since then there has been steady increase of demani tor such institutions, and there is now popular insistence that will not be silenced. it is therefore reasonably certain that the Committee on Ways and Means will renew its recommendations as to advanced manual training, and it is almost sure that the District Commissioners will indorse the re- quest of the committee and board for a sum of money sufficient to give us such manual-training schools as are doing ad- mirable work in other cities. Argument as to the necessity for such schools woud seem to be superfluous. The people know what they want and will not rest satisfied until the want no longer exists. Strong as is the plea in behalf of white boys and girls who ask for manual training instead of academic education beyond the grade schools, it is still stromger in behalf of the colored youth. This was made plain in a forceful and timely address delivered re- cently by Dr. F. J. Shadd before the Second Baptist Lyceum of this city. A member of the Board of School’ Trustees and an active worker in all that promises to ele- vate his race, Dr. Shadd has satisfied him- self, as he doubtless did his hearers, that the hope of thousands of colored boys snd girts in this city les in the success of man- ual training extension. Other local leaders of colored Washington have said the same thing and are prepared to keep on saying it until Congress does its duty in this ex- tremely important matter. —__+ +e—_____. The Christian Endeavor assemblage will be quite as large as the convention crowd at Chicago, and is not likely to make nearly as much trouble. SHOOTING STARS. A Disappointment. He scrambled wildly to the spot where the bulletins were belng posted. When he reached a place where he could read the announcements his jaw dropped and his lip curled. “It’s just news from the convention, ain’t it?” he remarked. “Yes,” replied the man next to him. “What did you expect?” “I thought it was from the ball game.” And he sank back through the crowd and boarded a street car. Change. New terrors now the old efface, Man's woe he can’t dispel; The carnpaign slogans now displace The grewsome college yell. A Man With a Record. “There goes a man who has been the im- mediate cause of more trouble and excite- ment In a political gathering than anybody else I know of.” “I don’t remember having seen his pic ture in any of the cartoons.” = “No. A great many people do not even know his name. But he has done just what I said.” “Who is he? A financial agitator?" “No. He was sergeant-at-arms in a con- vention.” The C. E. Young Women. Like the sunlight on the water, as it shim- mers in the breeze; Like the dew-drops as they tremble on the overhanging trees; Like the surf that scatters treasures in a wild, prismatic spray; Like the glint of golden tresses where the sunshine leves to play; Like the jeweled shower of summoer, with enough and some to spare, Is the sparkle of the badges badges, badges every vhere. Yet gems are often vanquished by the riv- alry that lies In the scintillating glory of a pair of mer- ry eyes; And the wave that tosses radiance in pro- fusion from the sea, Does not charm us like the laughter that comes bubbling, light and free; For there isn't any other fascination to compare With the wearers of these ba-iges, badges, badges everywhere. |GOLDENBERG'S, -Havenner & Davis, @ Incorporated, 928 F St. $35,000 Worth of SHOES Sacrificed. — We find we ars terribly overstocked with Shoes end bave concluded to un- load by offering the entire stork at greatly reduced prices. ‘These are not Shoes bought for a sale, but our reg- ular stock, from the finest makers in America.
