THE PATRIOTIC CHARITIES
OF ILLINOIS.
A Specific Statement Of Each.
Their Prevent Condition and Proapocta
"A Word Of Caution TO tho Public.

I
the widow cannot be met with indifference
or turned away with neglect. Yet, In the
midst Of these private calls, VIC have public
demands tor larger sums, made by the trns-
tees aud agents ot organized movements for
systematic and permanent relief Of war
objects.
1t becomes US to discriminate in the dis
buteemcnt Of these charities. s'All Is not
gold that glitteGs.'' The uoblcst causes are
often made pretexts to cover individual !
schemes Of the most unworthy character.
lotteries have 1ourisAed under the pretence |
Ot building monuments in honor Of our great |
II eu or iu memory Of our heroic de4ad-luur-
generally suspended before the day Of dr4w- |
ing came. Onr people have been TOO blind in
their patriotic zeal, to even wait to inquire
in reference to the proper and legal basis OF
the organizations TO which they lave con
tributed. In eome instances, whole commu- |
mites have contributed ou the 1ecommenda-
tion of parties without knowing whether
the enterprise had any trustees, or~eycn the
ghost Of a corporate existence. 10 prevent
imposltions Of this kind In the future, have
of the State, to look Mt tho records aud files
Of the Secretary Of State, and to gain such
other information as WINS uttatnabfc, In rcla-
tion tO the various patriotic charities Of the
time, aEd herein present the result Of my
Investigation for tue benefit Of your read er5.
