ONE Or THE Many.
Trademarks or Our Modern, Glorious
Civilization.

A pale thin little woman, carry
ing her five-months old infant in
her arms, was led into the Jeffer-
son market police court yesterday
morning, followed by her fifteen
year old boy. She was clad in a
thin calico dress. An old shawl
was thrown over her head and
the tips of her toes protruded
through the badly torn shoes.
Her face bore that blue. pinched
expression indicative of expos
ure and starvation. The infant
and the boy, though more warmly
clad than their mother, did not
look much better.
When the poor woman, who
was charged with vagrancy, was
arraigned before justice O'Reilly
she told a sad story. She said
that her name was Sarah Baxter
About three weeks before Christ
mas her husband, to whom she
had only been married three
years lost his place, and growing
respondent left her, threatening
to commit suicide. Her fifteen
year-old son, Joseph, managed to
get work in Beck & Co.'S paper
box factory on Twenty-seventh
street. He earned So a week, and
with this money and by her sell,
ing her furniture she managed to
get along until Saturday night
last, when her landlord came to
her apartments at No. $40 Seventh
avenue and had her put into the
street because she owed two
weeks rent, $3.50.
The poor woman wandered
about the streets with her two
children that night, and on the
following day tried to get work
without success. Each night she
went through the same expert
ence, sleeping wherever she could
and living on food given to her by
charitable people. On Wednes-
day night, half frozen, starved
and disheartened, she sat down on
the curbstone at the corner of
Twenty-6fth street and Seventh
avenue. Joseph Johnson, a col
ored man. fearing that she would
freeze to death, aroused her and
took her and the children to the
West Thirtieth street station.
Justice O'Reilly discharged the
woman. She started to leave the
courtroom, but agent Stocking Of
the children's society stopped her
and pressed $3.50 that he had COL
lected from the court attaches into
her hand. He then told her to
call on him as soon as she had Sc
cured room and he would try
and get employment for her.

The Denver Korld charges Dis
trict Attorney Rhodes with be-
ing a blackleg, gambler and a fire.
quenter of 'nigger prize fights"
1t also intimates that it is just ach-
ing to have the district attorney
disprove its charges or institute
a suit for libel.
1t will be remembered that Dis
trict Attorney Rhodes was Father
Cars assistant in the recent
senseless attempt Of that gentle
man to "scare off," as Carr put it,
the moral lepers who make a bus
mess of de6ling young girls. A
man who attends "nigger prize
fights" and CANDLES is very fit
ting assistant for apriest who is en-
gagged in great. moral crusade.
No wonder the great moral cru
SADIE business was dropped by
Carr when the mayor gave the
order to stop as the business" of
the city was being injured.
On the whole, as between
Father Carr and District Attorney
Rhodes, the latter would seem to
be much the least dangerous man
in the community; and for thisrea
on: the district attorney as far as
is known does not entice young
children to become gamblers.
How about Father Carr on this
point2 For a week recently
Father Carr has run little game
at the rink. 1t is said that one of
the features of Cars fair was a
wheel of fortune;;" another was a
lottery in which the capital prize
was a building lot. On the clos
ing night of the fair this lot was
gambled for by means of a lottery
wheel similar to those used in the
regular lottery gamester's business.
Father Carr gave young boy his
first lesson in gambling by putting
him at the wheel to draw out the
numbers. Other young children,
boys and girls, crowded around
the machine with their tickets and
waited with expectant and eager
eyes for the announcement of the
lucky number. The same emo
tons noticeable in a crowd around
faro table were exhibited by
those children, only in a less in
tensifed degree. They were eff
fected by the game of chance in
which they were interested just
the same as the man who watches
the turn of the card by the dealer
at the faro table.
Hundreds, it is safe to say, of
young boys received their first
lesson in gambling at Father Cars
"fair."
Why are children thus democrat
ized1 For the sake of religion"
in order that the church may make
money. The church pretends to
teach truth, but the best evidence
in the world that it does not, lies
in the fact that it resorts to gam
bling devices to get money in ex-
cess of the amount the wealthy
put up for its maintenance.
Jesus Christ did not need a lot
terry wheel and the sacrifice of the
the morality of young children to
propagate His doctrine. Father
Carr does; yet he says he is
preaching the doctrine of Christ.
Rhodes and Carr are a fine pair
to engage in a moral crusade. The
people some day will engage in a
crusade against such men as
Rhodes and Carr.
