Do You Knov1

William Ewart Gladstone whose quote appears amid artwork on walls of the Capitol's second floor (see "It's a Fact!" on the front page • of this issue) was a British prime minister in the 1800s.

An idealist, who had denied his call to church ministry, he hoped he could help, by example, to teach men and nations to govern themselves.

A champion of the masses, he and his wife collaborated to rid London of prostitution. For half a century, one night a week, armed with a larg~ stick, he walked the streets of rough districts. Sympathetic to the lot of streetwalkers, he took some of them to his home. Others went to hostels he and his wife founded and supported with the help of a few friends.

Happy Diamond Jubilee!
