BABY FARMING-The attention OF
the authorities in New York has been
directed to the subject of baby farming
Cases have occurred in which babies
thus farmed out have died under
circumstances leading to the belief
that they were purposely made away
with. According to DIR. Elisha Harris,
of the Bureau of Vital Statistics, there
are about 81, 900 births in this city ev-
cry year, of which only $4,000 are
properly accounted for as taken care
of in conformity with the requirement
of the Health Board. Five thousand
of these are subdivided or classified
thus: $500 illegitimate and $500 to
abandoned or got rid of in some way
or other. The former are usually put
out to board with irresponsible per
sons, whose business it is to dispose
of the infant in such way as to pre-
vent all future trouble to its unnatural
parants.-TNew York Observer.

they are, perhaps, aware of, simply by
resolving not to vote for any man for
Congress or the State Legislature who
is any way connected with any of the
great corporations or organizations
which are seeking special legislation
or exclusive privileges. 1t is impos-
sible to have just and honest legisla-
ton. State or Federal, so long as
representatives are sent who owe their
election to, or are personally interest
ed in, great moneyed corporations or
monopolies matter whether they
call themselves Democrats or Republi-
cans, they are not the representatives
of the people, they are simply the
agents and attorneys of those who
seek, by taxing the masses, to enrich
themselves, whenever they owe their
election to monopolists, or are them
selves interested in class legislation. 7"
