the charities in the various sections cf the

help had been about the same as yesterday
1t is not alone the metropolis which has
it's crowded tenement district to draw
from and spread broadcast through the
city, with entreaties for help from the
charitable. Washington, with about one--
fifth less popula tien has between three
and four hundred families who have to be
given assistance at this time. The Offices
of the Associated Charities are crowded
now from morning till night with the in
digent poor. While there are cases in
which the applicants are unworthy. they
are not many. and a trip to one Of these
stations. the one on G street between sth
and 9th streets for instance, will certainly
give any philanthropically inclined person
an incentive to loosen the purse strings
and scatter the coins with liberal hand.
Pitiful Cases.

The story they told was undoubtedly
true. 1t has been heard SO often that it
has become commonplace and lacking in
novelty. But the charitable should not
withhold their charity any the less on this
account. The father was sick, there was
large family and the mother had been
unable to support the head and the

she could find The cold had almost frozen

Cost of Converts.

Converts cone mighty high,
but then We must have them
The following editorial was writ.
ten by the irreligious editor of
the Commercial>Appeal. and he
was evidently mad because he
couldn't ascertain the exact spir-
itual value of a convert.
The Baptist Missionary Mag
azine has given its readers some
curious facts in presenting to
thcm the cost OF converting hea-
thsnS, throughout the world to
the Christian faith From the
statistics furnished it would ap-
pear that the price varies, but
whether those who cost more are
any better or more etfectually
converted than those who cost
least has not been determined.
From the list it appears that
"what God hath wrought in the
last eight years" is divided 81
follows: Methodist converts In
general cost $42.O8 apiece aud
this sum is divided between the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
whose converts cost $24, and the
Methodist Episcopal Church
South converts who cost $3.50
each, while the Southern Bap-
lists paid $l46,32. Large al
these hgures appear they are
much smaller than formerly
when the Southern Bap:lsts paiC
out in cash $40 per head for sacl
convert secured by missionaries
The Congregationahsts paid on
$l76 y head, the Presbyterian
$232-the Northern Church pay
ing 1927, the Southern $3.50
while the United cut the Overag
down by paying only $40, Will
the CumberlAnds paid $455
These figures, ii correct, give tb
commercial cost of converts, AM
as there is no way of comparing
commercial cost with the spirit
usl value, those who cOntribut
to the foreign mission fund ma
enjoy the qualification Of know
ing how much money has bee
paid out without being able I

THE REFERENDUM.

South Dacota has amended her
constitution by adopting the referen-
dun and initiative in legislation. II
is to be hoped that Wisconsin and
all the states will follow suit. No
measure should become a law which
either provides for raising more tax
es or creates more offices, without be-
ing submitted to a vote Of the peO-
pie. Neither should any law grant
ing franchises, or creating corpora
lions or syndicates be passed or be-
come effective until submitted TO a
