SALVATION ARMYHOSPITAL

Several of Topeka's physicians have
volunteered their services free of charge
for the Salvation Army free hospital
which is to be established here This

now done. Captain Joseph Hawk. the
Salvation Army officer in charge in To-

been compelled to suffer in such a way
that it has appealed to the sympathy of

1T is believed that it is not for the
lack of sympathy that such a move has
not been started before but the proper
one to take hold of it has not been found.
Knowing of the armyis efficient work
among the poor the police applied to them
TO see if they could not open some place

OUTSIDE oAPrTAL.

TFrom the Denver Republican,
Every day one hears something about
the need Of securing money from the
east or Europe for invest ment in Colo
RADIO. Tt is estimated that the prosper
ity of the state viii be in close proper
ton to the amount. of money thus
brought in. But there is a fanacy in
this estimate, and it is well to bear it in
mind.
Denver has had enough Of borrowing.
The debt accumulated in the day of
over-confidence became in the day of
depression and stagnatiOn burden too
heavy to bear Under its weight many
hopes were crushed ana many enter
prises ruined. Men holding property
covered with mortgages to eastern cred
itors have seen their equities sacrificed
because they were unable to pay the in
terest on the debt for which the mort
gage was given In consequence many
houses in this city and some Of our bus
mess structures are owned in the east
The buildings are here. and in that
sense the enterprises have not been
fruitless to Denver. but as men are
worth more than buildings. Denver can
hardly be said to have gained, since in
exchange for these buildings some of
its most enterprising and energetic bus
mess men have been sacrificed.
This community has learned little
through the bitter teaching of expert
ence if it recklessly pursues the path OF
borrowing again. Better would it be that
the growth of the city should be slow
than that rapid growth should be
purchased at the price of a hundred
years of tribute to the money lenders Of
the east and Europe.
But to bring money from the east, not
BY borrowing, but through sales Of Col
orado property, seems unobjectionable
to some people. Tt depends upon the
kind of property sold. Men are perfect
ly free to sell or to refrain from selling
their property, and so whether the pub
lie would or would not be benefited by
such a sale is a matter into which the
parties to the transaction are under no
obligation to inquire Nevertheless the
public is Interested. and such transac-
tions have a relation to the general vel
fare.
So that the disposition to sit down
and wait for some wise man to come
from the east to help Colorado is rather
to be condemned than approved. If the
wise man comes with a mortgage in his
hand he comes with a snare. If he
comes to buy property which is already
paying a good interest upon the capital
invested, he comes simply to exchange
his money for Colorado property, to the
disadvantage rather than to the benefit
of this community. Tt is only when he
comes to aid by means Of his money in
the development of resources which
without him would be unimproved, that
his coming is truly an advantage.

With Mr.. Moody, but he can still sing
pull For the Shore in manner to
cause the most hardened sinners breast
to swell.
It was in 1871 that Moody and San
key first met. They were both attend
ing a Young Men s Christian association
convention at indianapolis Mr.. Moody
had for a number of years been doing
evangelical work in Chicago and had
already attained some local celebrity.
He was taking no prominent part in the
convention, but was sitting IN the audi
ence, when his attention was attracted
by the singing of young man over in
one corner Of the hall. Swelling and
rolling clear above the rest of the sing
ers rose the voice that was destined to
be heard clear round the world. Mr.
Moody himself cannot sing at all and
does not know one note from another,
but he was struck by this voice.
''Who is that young man who is sing
ing so?" he asked of a gentleman sitting
beside him.
"Why, that's one Of our Pennsylvania
young men-Ira Sankey. He has fine
voice, hasn't hes'' was the reply.
81 don't know anything about his
voice, - said Mr. Moody, ''but do know
that he feels every word he sings and
believes every word he feels. I'd like t.
meet him. -
The meeting was arranged shortly
after the session.
Young man, " said Moody in his
blunt way, Il want you to come to Chi
cago and work with me-
''But I cannot leave my business in
New Castle, - protested Sankey.
You'll have to give that up, then, -
said Moody.
81 don't know about that, - replied
Sankey obviously
"Oh, but I do, - went on Moody.
''Why, I've been looking for you for
eight years.
At that time Mr.. Sankey. then under
30, was working with his father at
New Castle, Pa, as deputy collector of
internal revenue. He was married and
had one child. He had come to the con
vention as a delegate, intending to hur-
~ back to his business. He did return to
New Castle, but six months later joined
Moody in Chicago. There they labored
in the old Illinois Street church and Far
we'll hall until both buildings were de-
stroyed in the great fire. Then came their
famous trip abroad. Their first intention

was to be absent but six months, but
such tremendous audiences were attract
ed all through Great Britain that it was
two years before they returned.
When they did come back. it was to
begin that series of great revival meet
ings which were held in almost every
city of importance from Portland to San
Francisco. just why they separated a
few years ago has never been definitely
stated, but there were rumors as to a
disagreement between them in regard to
the division of the profits on the Moody
and Sankey hymn books, which have had
such an immense sale. Whatever it was
the difficulty has been patched up and
Moody and Sankey are once more in the
field. CLARNCE P. SKINNER

" THE BOX-SHALL WE WHIP
. ).

EFrom the Chicago Record
Some one, perhaps Emerson. has de-
scribed a man to whom everything in
the universe was an open question
every morning. The Chicago Kinder
garten College union teachers and pro-
fessors probably do not carry open
mindedness to this extent. but there is
one old and apparently very simple
question concerning which they seem
still to entertain doubts-namely, The
ROy-ShalI We Whip Him Pc This ques-
ton. which seems to vary it's form ac-
cording to the size of the victim. from
ITO spank or not to spank2" in the
kindergarten, ITO Switch or not to

ITO thwack or not to thwaek?' in the
higher schools, has given teachers and
educators no end of trouble from the
earliest times down to the meeting Of
the college union Wednesday highland.
sad to say. is still unanswered, to judge
from the discussions on the occasion re
ferred to.
Historically the question is interest
ing. Solomon and St Paul are the
high scriptural authorities for logging,
but like the latter's announcement
against women speaking in church,
their observations on this subject do
not gain wide credence and following
in the world today. Horace has inn
mortalized the schOolmaster who fog
ged him. but not in a way that Orbilius
himself would have chosen. Old DR..
Johnson got a good share of logging
in his youth. and professed to be bet
ter for it, as did also Coleridge and
even Goldsmith. Cheerful, kind old
Montaigne. however. is To be placed on
the side Of the boy. as one would nat
urally expect. 50 much a matter of
fact part of the teachers routine was
fogging in the olden time, and still is
in the great English schools Of Elton,
Westminster, Winchester and Rugby,
that there We're not a few who seemed
to think, like DR.. Syntax, only of their
own trouble, and to pity themselves be
cause it was their hard lot to drive in
learning at the breech."
Really. however the question is much
nearer settlement than some Of the
speakers at the college union meeting
the other night seemed to suppose. 1T
is probably true, as said by one of the
speakers. that "a child had better be
dashed with the switch than with the
tongue" but public sentiment has de
eided that one. who resorts to either of
these methods is unworthy the name of
teacher, and, as to hOgging, it has put
a ban upon it in all more enlightened
communities. There may be children
who are not amenable to any other
discipline than fogging, but if so their
place is at home until their parents
have taught them to be civil or, fail
ing that, there remains the reform
school. where the methods can be
adapted to their peculiar cases.

Secretly Within Two Years.
Chicago. New. 23.-The marriage Of A.

brought to light suspicion of an elope-
ment club in Hyde Park.
Girls of the high school are said to
be members. Miss Jennings elOpement
fast following others in Hyde Park has
given widespread belief in the existence
of an elOpement club, and, incredible as
1T may seem, it is said a cardinal prin-
ciple of the club is that the older the
man induced to elOpe the more credit
The club is SO much reality that its
written constitution has been discover
ed, and the silent features of il are as
follows.
This organization shall be called 'The
H. p. Fl. s. Elopement Club"
Absolute secrecy as to time and par
ticulars of elOpement shall be maintain
ed even between members.
Membership shall be limited TO seven
and shall cease the moment the we'd
ding ring is placed on true sisters fin
ger.
The older the man inveigled into elop-
ing the more credit shall be given the
departing sister.
Boys under is years are not to be con-
sidered responsible.

Long wedding trips are also barred
The penalty for being a member for
longer than two years is expulsion.

was more than a quarter Of a century

been household words wherever the
English language is spoken, yet they are
hardly more than past middle age today.

age more quickly than most of US real

straight out from the shoulder, as usual,
and is just as effective as he was in 1876,
when he startled New York by swaying
thousands in the old Hippodrome.
