Written for the REPUBLIC.
The man that never shuts the door
As he goes in or out of house or store,
Will be the mark for loads OF fun
When little Johnny gets his gun.
The man that makes the I'll bet you bluff.
And, when called, falls to have the stun,
Had better pick himself up and dust,
Or little Johnny will get his crust
The youth that Is . moustache raising
And those few hairs he's ever praiSing,

For Johnny will surely spoil his face.

On whom Johnny will Practice perfOrAtion.

HOME EVENTS.
How the Townships Voted

From the official returns it appears
that out of thirteen townships, seven
elected peoples party officers; four
independent; and two non partisan
candidates on compromise ticket
In Itasca township. which Is
credited to the independents. two
officers. Township treasurer, A. G.
Patrick, and constable, w. Q. Johnston
were on both tickets, and one justice,
G. L. Calvert. had no opposition as the
peoples party candidate. g. R. Shook,
had withdrawn. and Mr.. Calvert being
a peoples party man was unanimously
supported by the peoples party; so
that really the straight independents
elected one trustee, clerk, justice and
constable.
The official returns only show few
changes, and raises the majority Of
DR.. E. E. Burwell, coroner, 5, and
lowers Frank Hopkins, for state sem
ator. 8 votes. This is 9 good showing,
and speaks we'll for the vigor and
energy with whi,h the peoples cam
paign was conducted.
The townships that elected peoples
party township officers were Llanos,
Shermanville, Voltaire, Grant. State
Line, Union and Smoky; those that
elected independent we're Lincoln,
Itasca, Washington and Mcpherson;
the nOn-partisan were Iowa and
Logan.
We congratulate the peoples party
on their success in the face of deter
mined oppositian and a fusion ticket.

CONCLUDING oBsrRvArIoxa

In closing his report Mr.. Warner says,
l cannot close this report without again call
ing attention TO the fact that Was in Washing
ton during less than three months Of the fiscal
!eai Tor which IL 10 made. The work Of getting
acquainted with more than q score Of institu-
nons, Of deyising forms for their reports 20
me, OF looking into their history and determin-
ing their relations TO each other, Of explaining
TO them my own wishes and purposes, Of t~bu-
latlng and editing the statements Of their work
and Of learning and understanding their Wishes
has been q heavy one, and do not for Q mo-
ment suppose that this report is free from
grave errors, both Of statement and Of judg-
ment. In the progressive elimination Of thess
! confidently count on the help OF those inter
ested IN the charities Of the city. The Law
leaves the superintendent Of charities standing
very much alone. Hereafter it may be found
wise TO provide for the creation Of Q
board OF charities. and perhaps to extend
its power beyond the rather marrow limits Of
that belonging to the superintendent For the
present he must rely for advice and guidance
on the benevolent people Of the city, and il
shall be bis aim by public and private confer
ences, by quarterly reports from the institu-
tions, and by AL the means at his Command 70
understand the situation thoroughly, and 70
come 70 an agreement with those concerned -
70 future notifications and Developments Of
tho charities of the District In future reports
fuller mention may be made Of those charities
not directly under the superintendent, and O
fuller discussion given Of the bearing Of cvrrec-
tional upon charitable work. The ef6cisncy of
public appropriations for charitable purposes
must often depend on thess co-ordiasts insse
activity.
With grateful acknowledgment OF the kindly
and efncient manner in which you, the Com
missioners, have assisted me in the beginning
of my new duties and with q sincere desire 20
deserve and have the confidence Of yourselves
and Of all concerned In the work Of aiding the
unfortunate In the community, this report b
respectfully submitted.

funds for maintenance could be secured from

line by the pernicHous laxitv OF the charitable
Institutions in the matter Of admissions.
8. Where the state makes adequate provision
for the systematic supervision and inspection
OF such institutions as receive public subsidies
the dangers to be feared are greatly reduced
The passage of the act creating the office of
superintendent of charities for the District of
Columbia led to the reorganization and reform
of some Of its subsidized charities even before
any person had been appointed to fill the
position.
9. The most important points in connection
with the administration of q charitable insti-
tuition are the rules governing the admission Of
benefciaries and the manner in which these
rules are practically applied. One reason why
tho system of private institutions has succeeded
80 vel in tho instruction Of the blind and of
the deaf and dumb is that the number that can
be included in these ciasses is strictly and OBJ
viously limited. With other cl sses. IS desti-
tute children, the sick, &C., the state should
have some standard of indigency and some as
surance that the standard Will be applied
A table is inserted giving q general view of
the finances OF twenty-siN District charities
Tor the last fiscal ear. From this table the
following items are taken:

branches Of their work in order to prosioe
properly for Ihis one. The proportion of thu lr
support that comes from the District is 80 large
that they viii surely be willing to adapt them
selves to the needs OF the District in this mat
ter. The work OF the two institutions that by
this arrangement arc left without public aid il
thoroughly commendabic. and hope and be-
lleve ths. the benevolen: people of the District
will not let il fall to the ground or suffer. In
many ways they will be freer and will have a
better influence on their benefciaTies if they
take no money from the taxpayers. The
amount that the taxpayers can properly be asked
to do In this direction IL quite strictly limited.
and one institution can be their agent in the
matter better than three.
2. OF the three institutions for men not one
has a work test, and I do not believe il TO be
possible to operate such institutions, supported
largely by pubic money. without q work test
and not do about as much harm as good.
Neither has any one of them appliances for
Kidding mans clothes Of vermin, another g.
sential for any wayfarers' lodging house. 1t
will cost less to operate one lodging house
properly equipped than to equip and operate
three.

no tendency to empty the station houses Of

ton to another and taking the police stations.

number of dependents of particular class ia
small it enables the state to make provision for
them at much less expense than would other
wise be possible.
Co Where special technical skill and training
is needed, as in the instruction of detectives,
the tenure of Office is more secure, and a
thorough specialist will be more willing to un-
dertake the work and more likely to continue
in it. Partisan politicians are not as likely to
interfere.
Z; The disadvantages Of adopting the above
policy are:
(al Those already indicated In propositions q
and 3.
CD The state is responsible for the care of it,
dependents, but has not direct control of them.
(c) The institutions, especially the close cor
porations, tend tc pass into the management Of
| small group OF persons. easily get into ruts
| and are much harder to get out than public in
stitutions The institution and its growth
comes to be an end in itself, irrespective Of the
needs OF heneficiaries. The system, whom ex-
| tensive, is stiff and not adaptable to new needs
and new and better methods Of work.
(D A sort of process OF fssion, to use tern,
from natural science, leads to the undue multi
| plicatIon OF institutions. Disagr eements among
managers take place along the lines OF religious
or medical or social cleaserage and new jns:itu-
tions are started. while the ole ones 1t the same
time remain in existence. Institutions are
built up and public support ID solicited and
! lobbied for from motives which are possibly not
unworthy. but are certainly non-cLarisatle.
Maryland might afford Us some good ext Mples
| OF this and know Of 70 state Or city that has
subsidized private charities for . considerable
period where they might not be found.
| (e) Work done tends to be measured by guam
tity and not by quality. Benedciaries arc sd-
mitted without due cafe in order that their
number may form the basis Of an appeal for
| larger amounts Of aid. New York's experience
with institutions for dependent children and
Pennsylvania's with medical charities are sug-
gestive in this connection. WhaEe this Il bult
