Among the numerous charitable IN
stitutions Of tns city none occupies
more prsiseworthy position than the
Emerson Home. It Mas conceived 70
give shelter 10 the poor creatures who,
Through their own peryeEse inehnatlons,
or as unwilling victims 10 mans per
idy, have transgressed the edlets OF
social purity and are ostraclzed from
the homes and society Of decent per-
sons.
The work ls Q thankiess one IN most
features. II involves delicacy Of SEN
Ilment on the one hand and contact
with the vile and vicious on the other.
The rewards however. are sufficient to
enlist the sympathy of pure motherhood
and sxalt the virtue of common man
hood. To redeem a woman from
whose soul the affiatus OF purity mas
been hurled into the maeistrom Of un-
checked lust is an achievement over
which angels may exult. The poor
outcsst. homeless because the heart of
a rich and untorglvlng father is steeled
against her, may have had the tender
nurture of . loving mother. A mis-
step, precipitated by misplaced conf
tence IN q lecnerous villain, may have
broken the mothers heart, and made
the victim to Do Stunned by those that
delighted 10 honor her IN her innocent
girlhood. There is but one refuge for
such. Desperation drives more girls to
wantonness than any other cause.
To rescue these, and others, Is the
laudable mission OF the Emerson
Home. 1t has passed through a vicis-
sitous career; its downs have been
more discouraging than It's ups have
been inspiring. 1t has struggled
against adversely and debts to emerge
into brighter and 1t is 10 be hoped
more useful career. The scheme now
being prosecuted TO endow it with
funds, and its removal to another part
Of the city, Will materially enhance It's
worth to the city and the city's unfor-
Inmates.

HENRY MEMORIAL FUND.
What Has Been Done to Relieve Sui-
tenng LATHE Ones.

feung Little Ones.
Report of the Henry Memorial Fund
for lS9l-2-This fund was instituted
in 1880 by members and friends of l..
l.. c., IN memory of Miss Dssa +.
Henry. Its income was TO be devoted
annually 10 some charitable purpose
in this city consistent with the desire
of Miss Henry while she was living, 10
assist and educate suffering and needy
children.
The present principal 10 $373.l2. This
10 loaned on real estate security, with
interest at per cent.
The donations during the year have
been $40 from one member and So from
another. The sale of "Noll's Journey"
story of Miss Henry's, has aggre-
gated S7.S7 thie year, and there are
still a few copies unsold. The penny
collection on each Saturday of the
club year has amounted 10 S49.l2.
Although some feared that this col
lection wo aid be forgotten like an "olo
story" yet IL was but $500 less on the
second year since its adoption proving
that our members have IN mind the
fact the poor are always with us. Ana
by these timely offerings many cases
of restitution aud suffering among
Gods little children have been relieved.
With this sum eighteen pairs of shoes,
eleven pairs Of rubbers and ten flannel
undergarments have been purchased,
besides many other articles of clothing.
We can not half tell in a report the
many cases of need that come TO the
notice of teachers. nor how thankful
they are for this little fund which can
be used TO help children, who, without
II, could not attend school comforta Div
clothed. But not least IN usefulness
have been the gifts of clothing. II
would need a secretary who could
give much time TO the work TO enumer-
ate how many anxious mothers have
gladly received additions to their
little ones scapty wardrobe
from the bundles that have
so generously been given. and by skill.
full planning and remodehug have kept
their children warmly and neatly clad.
But few appeal to us for help. We
find the needy sometimes when we
least expect them, and IN many cases
have learned only by diligent inquiry
concerning absentees from school that
she parents have met with reverses and
need bit of aid and encouragement.
Not the least of the blessings of having
some resdy-made garments on hand IL
that cleanliness can be insisted on when
q change is furnished.
We hope that our fund may receive
an addition of $3.50 before 1923 thst
we may start out on our thirteenth
year with principal OF s4oO. Respect
fully submitted,

tested against paying for the macadam

made to the common council last Mon

Worden said he was sure one-fourth of
the blocks are not more than four An d

one time instructed Mr.. Smi Tn, the IN

had failed to stop the work. No action
was taken except TO instruct Superin-

Labor Commissioner Peck finds an
unexpected ally in Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. Peck has endured unlimited
abuse because he has chosen to with
hold papers that have been delivered
to him as confidential communications.
Those papers are the ones from which
he compiled his recent report. with the
contents of which everybody IS now
familiar. The democracy are enraged
because q democratic Official has upset
one of their pet theories, and they are
now engaged in . silly effort to Offset
that report by attempting to discredit
Mr.. Peck in the courts. They de-
mand the papers, and Mr.. Peck says
that they shall not see them.
and that he proposes to keep
his pledge to the manufactur-
ers who sent him those papers
Mr.. Peck's contention is sup
ported by no less q parsonage than
Grover Cleveland. In 1886, Mr.. Cleve-
land removed . district attorney in
Alabama to make room for another
man. The senate requested copies OF
all documents relating to the matter,
but the president refused to surrender
them on the ground that they we're in
tended for his personal information
and guidance, and were not public
property, and that they were in fact
confidential. He even said that If he
saw fit to destroy them NJ one could
complain" Mr.. Peck is therefore
only initiating Mr.. Cleveland. 1t is
not exactly q parallel case. but it Is in
teresting, and il illustrates how cir
cumstances alter affairs with the con-
ductors of Mr.. Cleveland's campaign.

Every young republican, eighteen

cit is the young men who are going TO

and nothing olse. Talk is cheap. The
young men sf the country will believe
Peck of New York rather than Peck OF
Wisconsin, and vote the republican
ticket. Peck of Wisconsin also blum
dsred when be said, "then our colleges
have had lots to do with this.
They al teach free trade doc

OF the ability 10 gather and handle sta
tstics. which Is possessed by Peck OF
New York, be would know that the
majority OF college men are and always
have been republicans. At the Univer-
sity of Michigan there were last year
I ,496 republicans and 900 democrats.
But Peck of Wisconsin blundered into
