The Guest House. By an unfortunate conspiracy of circumstances, a misconception of what the Guest House is intended to be has gotten abroad through the city. People have thought of it as being merely a kind of boarding house where factory girls could find room and board cheaper

than elsewhere and of better quality for the money. Those who have understood it to be such an institution as this have felt that $35,000 was al

together too much to put into it. They have said, "While we are at it, why cannot we build omething that will do for the women what the 1L M. C. A. does for the men?" If this were all the Gnest House was to be, tWa feeling would be justified. But the Guest House ttJII be more than that if the plans of the board of directors are carried out. It S not intended as a charitable institution. Bftdi girl or woman will pay a fair rate for what she receives. No person will be pauperized and no opportunity will be offered factory employers to cut xkwra the wages of their girls to the level cheaper Irving expenses. Neither is the Gnest House an institution exitfesivsiy far purposes of religion. It will not be in the control of any denomination or sect and 3Kr woman needing it will be barred out by any ixthgkms prejudices. But the plan is to surround the girl, while there, with just such a sane and Ttormal atmosphere as surrounds the girl in the 'typical Christian home. Religion will not be forced on any girl in it, but the conditions will be uch as to encourage and inspire a true moral and rpiritual life in each member of the Guest House family. Neither is the Guest House for factory girls only, as is sometimes supposed. Any woman wherever she works, whether in office, store, home or factory, and whatever her wages may be, who needs what the Guest House has to offer, will be made welcome there. As things now are, it is next to impossible for

the average working girl to find room in a pri

vate house where she can have anything at all like home surroundings. It is felt by the noble women in charge of the movement that through co-operation of themselves and the girls, an insti

tution may be built here in which it will be possi

ble to have all the advantages of home at a price

within the reach of those concerned. In other

words, what they cannot do separately, they feel they will be able to do through combined effort. The Guest House will be even more than this, because it will be the social center for the women of the city. Just as the men and boys now- have the Y. M. C. A. in which to hold their meetings, conferences, etc., the women will have the Guest House which will serve as their social headquarters. When one considers how many functions this institution will be able to fulfill, its cost to the community seems very reasonable indeed and there is no question but that the city will cheerfully support it just as soon as it can come to realize what it stands for.

and equal rights to all could surely inaugurate the millenium. Biit by a strange inversion, these same theorists, when about to form the Constitution, swung clean around to the most pessimistic, Calvinistic conception of original sin.

No office-holder was to be trusted. Every precaution must be taken against political corruption. One branch was set over against am other and both against the President and every possible political mechanism was invented to serve as a salutary check against the inborn proclivity to do wrong. This system of "checks and balances" with its underlying assumption that every office-holder will turn thief is he has but an opportunity, has descended to our day and we are now wrestling with the problem of reducing its chaotic and bewildering complexities to some semblance of business-like simplicity. At least a share of our present political bewilderment and inconsistency may be traced to these two conflicting tendencies introduced into our national life by the national fathers, who were in theory such uncompromising optimists but in practice such forlorn pessimists.

In contrast to their tossing inconsistencies, Washington had something of the sanity and aplombness of nature. He began with no wild

philosophizing or frigid theologizing but acted in

the light of common, every-day experience and

walked in the straight and not too difficult path

of common sense. One of the certain aims of political evolution today is toward the wholeness end sanity of Washington.

High Life on $7 a Week;"

How Some Can do the Stunt

' "High Life on $7 per -week," or "Keeping Up Appearances." or "A Diary of the Best-dressed Colored Man In Town," are apt subjects for the story of the .last few months of the life of Harry' Austin, the young colored man who Is In the county jail waiting for the day when he will be brought into circuit court to plead guilty to the charge of stealing clothing and money from the Hoosier Store. Austin tells stories of at least weekly "joy rides" with chauffeur friends working for automobile owners who believed their machines safely boused in their garages. Wine, woman and song were a part of the entertain

ment Austin and his friends had on these occasions. He received $7 a week for working as porter in a store. He supported his wife and helped support three or four "sweethearts." as he terms them, besides maintaining the boast of being the best-dressed colored man in town. He admit 8 that there are few persons of his acquaintance to whom he does not owe money, besides his big tailor bills and other accounts. Now he says he is ready to go to jail for his spurt in Bociety. and will forsake the throne of style he has occupied. He says he will plead guilty and take his medicine, whenever the authorities are ready to arraign him.

The Foreign Substance. Dr. Alexis Carrel can place the kidney of one dog inside the body of another dog and make it grow. In a few days the canine is out chasing cats, barking at children and behaving as any ordinary, sensible dog should. But Dr. Carrel cannot place a stone inside the dog and make it grow. He cannot graft a piece of wood into a dog's leg and make it live. These things are foreign .substances which a dog's organism cannot assimilate. Everybody knows that when a foreign substance is introduced into a living body, it causes trouble. In a short time the wound becomes a festering sore, surrounded by a zone of fever. . What is true of a single organism, is true of that larger organism which we call the nation. A foreign substance driven into it from without is as dangerous to its health as a knife blade driven inio the vitals of man is dangerous to him. The millions of immigrants from Asia and Southeastern Europe who are now coming into this country cannot be assimilated by us. The Germans, Dutch, Scandinavians, English, Irish and Scotch, who made up the bulk of immigration until a few years ago, belonged to that great family which composes the main stock of Europe.

David Harum. Most of the scenes in "David Harum" are laid in Central New York where the author Edward : Xoyes Westcott. was born. Sept. 24th. 1847. Nearly all his life was passed in his native City, Syracuse, and although banking and not authorship was the occupation of his active years yet his sensitive ami impressionable temperament had become so saturated with local atmosphere, and his Retentive memory so charged with facts, that when at length he took up the pen he was able to create in "David Harum" a character so original, so true and so strong yet withal so delightful, quaint and humorous, that we are at once com

Washington's Significance It is by a sound instinct that we have selected Washington, rather than Jefferson or Hamilton, as the typical national father and it is a good thing that once each year our attention is recalled to that remarkable career which was to

the thirteen struggling colonies what the sun is to the solar system. The names of Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, Franklin, Paine and all the others who are forever linked to that great epochal period when a circle of jealous, distrustful, little colonial nations were gradually welded into a great republican empire. Their work no man can desire to nnder-estimate or disparage. Nevertheless the fact remains that each and all of these were partisans and special pleaders. They came before the people as the apostles of some popular philosophy or creed or peculiar brand of political mysticism. They had become sick and tired of the European kind of politics. They were convinced that these old mother countries were doomed to speedy extinction and in their efforts to' have their own young nation steer clear entirely of the injustices and errors of Europe, they leaped violently away from European political usages and having found politicians of England and France so worthless, they turned about eagerly to sit at the feet of Rosseau and the French encyclopedists. From these romantic sources they drank deep, intoxicating draughts of the philosophies of the "social contract" and of "natural rights." The essence of these mysticisms was an uncompromising optimism, a boundless confidence in human nature. It was vigorously affirmed that all the vices and sins of humanity were due solely to the injustices of governments. The political structure that would guarantee liberty

But the newer immigrants, those from Asia and Southeastern Europe, belong to a different stock, hive been bred in a different civilization,

have ideals and sympathy alien to us, know nothing of our political rights, do not understand our constitution and cannot fit into our social fabric. These people are printing 610 daily newspapers of their own h 29 foreign languages with a daily circulation of 7,000,000 copies. Already they havfr corr.e to compose one-fifth of our pop

ulation. Thera an be but one result from this kind of immigration. It can't do the immigrants much good but it is bound to do us much harm. We cannot assimilate them. They are a foreign substance in our body and will trouble us with their fever and festering for generations to come. The Calif ornians, who have fought so hard to keep out the Asiatics, may not have gone at the thing in a very tactful way. They may not have' solved the problem as it must be solved, but their instincts are sound and their fear for the result of such immigration is absolutely justified.

NO PEWS FOR THE NEEDY. Boston Globe. So the ushers iu 150 New York churches are going to form a union to spread the art of ushering as it. is practiced in Fifth Avenue. This is not cheering news for all the ill-dressed and the poor.

AGAINST ALL PARTY PRECEDENT. Houstou Post. The lieutenant governor of New York declares he will retire frorii politics at the end of his term because he is tired of holding office. We must be living in a mollycoddle age, indeed, when a man professing to be a Democrat confesses to weariness of the job. It is perfectly absurd.

PERMANENCY IN OFFICE. Boston Herald. Mayor Hanson of Belfast, Me., is out for the New Bedford record and will run for the tenth term. Mayor Beal of Bangor is willing to quit the race, for the present, with nine terms to his credit.

CONSENSUS OF BEST OPINION. Detroit News. The department of agriculture holds that the aver age farm home in the United States is a rebuke to America's boasted civilization. But those who have tried both say it beats the ball bedroom In the city.
