THEIR CHILD STARVED.
PoNerty.Stricken Parents Charged
with Manslaughtcr.

For two months Eugene Otto

tried to solve the problem how to
support wife, a mother-in-law and
an infant son on =, week. On the
morning of May l3 the child was
found dead i'll its little cot. A
pinched and distorted face, clenched
hands and emaciated limbs told the
story. 1t had died of starvation.
The father and his wife Lizzie
were arralgned in court the next
day on a charge of manslaughter.
The story told by the prosecution
was very affecting. The child was
allowed but pint of milk a day,
and when it cried paregoric was ad-
ministered. The details regarding
the condition of the body when
found by the police We're very sick

In his defense the father said: 4"

family. Until the milkman refused

pint, all of which was given to my
boy. The baby had the best | could
afford-far better than tne rest of
us. If it starved to death it was
because | was too poor to feed it,"
At this point he began to cry and
was allowed to step down. When
the mother had gwen similar eyi-
dence the Judge ordered both pris-
oners discharged, and the father
went back to work for ~ week,
now to be divided among three.

CHURCH SCHOOL AND ClVILI-
ZATION.
A Few Plain Words.

Fear-trammeled imagination gave
rise to priestcraft, but progressive
truth liberates the human mind
from the darkness of superstition.
The universe was supposed to be
governed by a demon, and storms,
epidemics, floods, earthquakes and
famine were looked upon as mani
festations of his wrath. The sicken-
ing odor and smoke arose from affairs
bloody with human or animal sacri-
fee, to procure the mercy of this
supposed demon, and to this day
men stand before affairs in churches
and temples to court favors from
supposed personal governor of the
universe.
In the degree that science advances
will we govern the giant forces of
Nature and make them do our bid
ding. Steam, water, heat and cleo
tricity are our servants. The on
ward march of science dethrones
superstition, and enlightenment
conquers bigotry and fanaticism.
Thus the church must yield her
grasp on human minds and con-
sciences. No longer will torture
and persecution turn men and women
into towards and hypocrltes. Rome
has had her day. Education is the
watchword, not her education, but
Uncle Sans, and no mistake. No
longer will men consent to toll,
drudge, sweat and scramble with
faint and foolish hope of a heaven
of rest in the great hereafter.
Heaven is harmony. Harmony i'm
plies enough for all and each, enough
useful activity, enough variety,
enough to eat and drink, not too
much nor too little, enough to enjoy.
"a bird in the hand is worth two in
the bush, and many more. Hope
alone will not cook soup. The in
dividual member of society wants to
know his or her place in the world,
what vocation he or she had best
choose and follow. This is one of
the missions of the school. 1t is for

made the joyful announcement,
through an advertisement, that
laborers could be had at sixty cents
per dav. Here is the advertisement.
Where can get employment for 300

JOHN GUsTlsvAsETY.
Most of us will agree that no one
should starve when there is plenty
of labor to do. But sixty cents u
day would hardly provide the neces

Why should not the American

ylded he can do the work desired?
Let the American workman who
complains of low wages answer this

SINGLE TAX FOLKS.
Pulling Two Ways" Republican :"
and Democratic"

There is no doubt in the minds of
those who take the trouble to think
over the matter that the "demo-
cratic party and the L" republican
party both had active influences at
work among the leaders of the single
tax party, the personality engaged
for the democratic" " side being H.
George himself. Who represents
the republicans" in that camp is
mere y matter Of conjecture, but it
is pretty safe to let the recent party
alliance weigh i'll the balance in de-
termlning this. This element, of
course was bound to oppose George,
since he showed his colors. Before
the renegade went over to the "dcm-
ocratic" ranks the "republican"
representative had every reason to
support George and do everything
calculated to keep the single tax
folks in line. Now it will be his
duty" to keep the single takers
from following their little leader into
the democratic" camp.
Recently it was resolved to call a
national con erence of single takers
to be held at Chicago on the Fourth
of july, and it is generally supposed
that the former adherents of II.
George were mostly drawn from the
democratic" party. and this is
very probable. 1t will be seen, then,
that if these people resolve to make
presidential nomination of their
own, and sufficient interest can be
excited to keep them together, the
democratic" " party will poll just so
many less votes for the fat man of
the White House. In order to fore
stall such contingency the " dem
ocrats" supposed to have the most
influence with the single takers were
selected to prevent the conference.
And this is the way the secretary OF
the New York single takers, who is
evidently interested in keeping his
little party intact, is said to have ex-
pressed himself on the subject to
reporter of the New York Herald.
"Some days ago Mr.. George sent Mr.
Louis F. Post to Chicago to try and kill
this conference. Mr.. Post urged Mr..
Bailey to withdraw the call altogether.
Mr.. Bailey refused to do this Then Mr.
Post offered money consideration
told Mr.. Bailey all expenses incurred or
prospective should be paid. And still
Mr.. Bailey refused.
1.-The suggestion that Mr. George now
makes that single tax men should write
to Mr.. Bailey withdrawing their earlier
letters in order, as Mr.. George puts it,
to relieve Mr.. Bailey of embarrass-
ment, is masterpiece of calm hypocrisy
that ought to be clipped out and framed
rs curiosity"
The Mr.. Bailey spoken Of is an
Indiana man, who issued the call,
which WAS signed by Judge Mcguire
Of San Francisco and a former lieu
tenant of H. Georges in New York,
among others.
So it may be considered victory
for the "republican" interest if the
single takers succeed in making
nomination, and a victory for the
democratic " contingent if the con-
ference comes to naught.
