A NEEDED CHARITY.

The Kings Daughters to Estsbl sh =
Day Nursery.
The order of the Kings Daughters,
which lie always at good works. intends
to establish a creche or day nursery
to aid poor working women who have
children, by caring for the little ones
while their parents are employed.
The society has Issued an appeal to
the pnblic for help from which the fol-
lowing extracts are taken:
Those who know Of the work OF tho
order OF Kings Daughters, know their
work to be largely q personal one lead
ing them into the narrow stTeete of life
to comfort with word and deed Gods
sick and poor. Thus it has come about
through personal ministratiou, that
they have come to the knowledge OF
the need OF day nursery in Los Ange-
les. and it is the hope OF those OF the
order interested in this movement that
they may be enabled to commence oper.
atoms very soon in large sunny room
in the Eighth Ward, not far from the
Newsboys home. for in this part Of the
city many worthy women can be greatly
helped by such daily shelter as the
creche or day nursery for helpless little
ones, which will be an untold help to
widowed or abandoned mothers willing
and capable Of earning living but un-
able to do so because of the little chill.
dren too young to be left alone and who
must be taken with the mother when
going out to work.
The Kings Daughters feel sure chat in
their effort to hel p the helpless they will
meet with the hearty cooperation of all
charitably disposed people OF Los
Angeles, nor will this proposed charity
tend in any way to pauperizs its bene-
tciaries, the idea being to help women
to help themselves. Z ich mother no
puts her child in the day nursery will
pay small sum such as che can afford
for the food. An efficient nurse will be
in charge of the nursery and besides it
will be under the constant supervision
of Kings Daughters OF the day nursery
circle.
The creche has become an institution
of many of our own cities, and here, as
well as in France and other foreign
cities, is q power OF helpfuluess to hun
dreds of women who would otherwise
be Obliged to live on public bounty or
private charity.
TneD, in the name OF the lowly cradle
OF Bethlehem, we ask your hsip. A
great sunny room has been offered free
of rent, but it has a long stretch OF
space to furnish. - There will be need ed

them. Only from one quarter has there
been cry of fraud raised. Naturally
enough. that cry comes from those in-
terested in Santa Monicn corner lots.
Some hardy ones down there have
doubted that anyone in Santa Monica
should be unselfsh and liberal enough
to sign q memorial for a harbor in
Southern California. The cry is absurd
on its face, for from the very start the
San Pedro memorial and the names ii
contains have always bssn open to pub
lie inspection.
Everett Wood, who sent in the last
liet OF names from Santa Monica, wrote
OH the back of the list: "These names
may be published" OF course, it would
be useless and absurd to attempt to
publish the names on the big petition.
And besides this, great many OF those
who signed might not care to have their
names published in that connection;
but every signer ha, understood that
no eecret would bs made of his name
on the big list and that it would always
be kept accessible to any psrson or per.
sons who might care to come in and
look over the names.
But these Santa Monica people, or
some OF them, have been trying to make
ii unpleasant for the msn who have
been manly enough to place their names
on the San Pedro harbor memorial, and
now they have questioned the au!hen-
ITCHY of ths names said to have
come from there. On this score the
following letter from Mr.. Wood speaks
Tor itself and reflects no credit upon the
narrow minded persol1 who have made

EVERETT WOOD.
It is a simple matter to comply with
Nh. Woods request that the last list OF
names from Santa Monica be printed,
but it is almost impossible to 20 over
the rells now and pick out all the names
that have come from there or have been
egned by residents Of Santa Monica in
Los Angeles. There are about go more
names on the rolls from that pretty sea-
side town. and those who care to may
turn over the rolls and search them out
and see for themselves. The names
that Mr.. Wood sent Tuesday are as fol-

Senator Turpie n Blind Leader,

Senator Turpie of Indiana tries to
break the force of what is known as
the "hammer test" Of money-that is,
the fact that gold coin beaten out Of
shape retains its value, while silver
coin treated in the same way loses half
It's value-by claiming that, on account
Of the one-tenth alloy $40 goldpiece
would only be worth 80 if it were put
under the hammer. Senator Turpie ought
to know better than to delude his fol-
lowers with such misleading nonsense.
The weight of the pure gold III $40
coin is the same as in All ingot worth
SO. The alloy has nothing to do with
the value of our gold coins, as any jew
elry manufacturer who melts down dou-
BILE eagles for use in his business can
tell the Indiana statesman. 1t is the
% 2-10 grains of gold which constitute
the value of the standard dollars Of
25 $40 grains, and that weight of gold
is worth just as much when the coin
containing it is melted or hammered
out Of shape. Thousands Of $40 and $50
pieces are melted every year for use in
the arts. Does Senator Turpie suppose
that business men are foolish enough to
pay $40 for 80 worth Of gold merely be-
cause it happens to be in the form Of a

LEGISLATION AND PRICES.
Lava Of Trade More Powerful Than the
Laws Of Nations.

Lava OF Trade More Powerful Ihan tne
Laws Of Nations.
The Iowa Democrats on Aug. de-
clared against free coinage Of silver at
16 to by an overwhelming majority.
The following is short quotation from
the speech of Hon Nathaniel French,
chairman Of the convention:
"At what ratio shall we coin the
metals SO that dollar Of ono will equal
o dollar of the other in intrinsic and
exchangeable value3 When we want to
know how much things are worth, we
go to the markets and find out. We
don't hunt up congressman to ask the
value Of eggs or spring chickens or grain
or anything else, or if congress has de-
clared what their value shall be. Wo
know that tho mere declaration Of con-
gress, or even a constitutional amend
ment, could not fix the price Of a single
egg In like manner. if we want to know
how many ounces Of silver an ounce Of
gold is worth, we must 90 to the bull
lion markets instead Of the revised
statutes Thomas Jefferson could not
have won undying fame as statesman
and leader Of the common people if he
had not been endowed with an abun-
dance Of common sense, and over 100
years ago, when congress sought his ad-
vice as to the ratio to adopt for tho
coinage Of gold and silver, he said:
Disregard legal proportions altogether.
Inquire into the market price. He
knew that opinions should not and
could not be controlled by legislation.
He knew that the basic laws Of trade
were more powerful than the laws Of
nations and that the multiplication
table could not be altered by statute.
"To so coin gold and silver that both
shall circulate together by reason Of
parity of value we must follow Jeffer-
sons advice and inquire the price Of
gold and silver in the markets of tho
world. If we find one ounce Of gold will
buy SO ounces Of silver, that is the ratio
to adopt. To put in the silver dollar
more than 80 grains Of silver for each
grain of gold in the gold dollar would
at once drive our silver money from cir
culation, and to put in less would ban
ish our gold. Tho loss Of either would
be a misfortune, and to retain both we
must adopt the mercantile ratio, putting
in our coins no more and no less than is
needed to make one Of equal value to
the other"
