'If there is state in the Union that has
a more wastefuI ard Inefficient system of
public charity than has the District of Co.
lunbia such state has not been found
after Il protracted search.
"A board of charities is the method adopt
ed by all the enlightened states for look
ing after charitable institutions. The state
of New York in its new constitution has
given to its board of charities authority
to regulate the admissions and dismissions
of public charges and wasteful as the New
York system has been in the past, the
looseness which has prevailed in the Dis
triCt of Columbia in regard to charity man
aEement has never within modern times
prevailed in New York. where the principle

Il ~ to establish Il board of charities in the
District OF Columbia make favorable re-
port upon the same.
The supervision of charities in the Dis
triCt of Columbia is in charge of a single
officer. who makes an annual report to the
Commissioners of the District. The super
inten12nt of charities has little power other
than that of report.
The Commissioners of the District of
Columbia are already overburdenei with
work. and they can no more look after the
charities of the District they should be
looked after than they can look after the
public schools. which are properly managed
by the school board.
From the establishment of the present
form of government in 1874 every Berson
who has studied District charities has rec
ommsnlad the establishment of board of
charities. The Commissioners of the Dis
triCt have repeatedly asked Congress to es-
tahsish such Il board. Two of the three su-
pcTiniendents Of charities have recommend

In neither Of the presidents late

satisfaction for the Maine outrage,
the blackest crime 10 the history OF

that the Maine vas wrecked by an in

says, ITO this have made no reply"!
He is up stump. He isn't used to
