OUR CONSCIENCE FUND

In the year 1911 an anonymous citizen of
New York sent dollar TO the treasury de-
partment at Washington with an avowal that
he had defrauded the government and wanted
to make restitution. A dollar meant some
thing to Uncle Sam In those necessitous days
when the country verged war with Great
Britain, and 1t was patriotic as we'll as
penitent act. The contributor the founder
of the conscience fund, and probably he died
in the odor Of sanctity. During the preceding
thirty FIVE years of the life Of the republic
no one had despoiled the government, or the
private conscience was callous. This New
York man, indeed, seems to have been the
one blemish a golden era of national vir-
tues, for fifty years were to elapse before
there was an addition to the fund. In 1861.
just after Sumter was fred on. the sum Ct
$1,000 in bonds was received by the treasury
department with a letter explaining that. a
sorely tried conscience could no longer en-
dure its burden Of guilt. The plain infer
ence was that the sender, realizing the United
States would need mint of money to carry
on the war, Judged it not to be time to de-
fer repentance. Think of the bounty jumpers
who proflted by his fat contribution! 1t was
really useful to the country in another way:
The conscience fund. which had languished
for want Of shining example, now became
active. It has been quoted pretty steadily
ever since. At the present time it amounts
to more than $500, 900. Indeed, restitution is
getting to be the fashion, and the time may
come when no one will take advantage of
the government, or do SO only with the laud-
able design Of swelling the conscience fund
when any emergency confronts Uncle Sam.

STICKS Up FOR Ills HOME
Developing Into Self Respec-
ting Youngsters.
Special to The Journal.


Omaha, Neb., March 3-"Mogy" Bern
stein, the western King of the Newsies,"
and founder OF the Omaha Home for
NeWsboys, has taken up arms against the
statements made in St. Louis several
days ago by Colonel Alexander Hogeland,
the Well known worker among the boys o.
the country. Colonel Hogeland, in an
address to newsboys, advised them to keep
away from newsboys' homes. He said
that In his experience in Chicago, Boston
Louisville, Baltimore, Indianapolis and
other places. he noticed that most of the
neWsboys frequenting the homes were
tramps. He further said the boys took
advantage of the homes and learned to be
less self-reliant less Independent and in
most cases eventually went to the work
house. .'..-
Several months ago, ''Mogy,' himself
| IN old-t1me neWSboy, organized a home
| succeeded In putting the institution on
its feet. A marked improvement can be
seen in the boys of that class in this
city. "Mogy" says:
Yes, If i should sit up in my office and
leave the work to attendants, the boys prob
ably would abuse the privileges and the
home might work more injury than good.
But, instead, get right in among the boys
every evening and know every one Of them
personally. know where they live and the
condition OF their parents No gambling OF
any kind Is permitted. My boys exercise in
their gymnasium. play games, go to their own
night school, and in time will become useful
| members of business life. Ny boys, instead
OF being the typical ragged, dirty newsboys,
have developed into clean, neat-appearing
youngsters, who stay off the streets except
| when selling papers, and il Colonel Hogeland
will come out and inspect our home he will
probably change his mind.

NOT REPORTING THEM ALL
st. Paul Smallpox Reports Out of
Line With Facts

st. Paul Smallpox Reports Out of
Line With Facts.
While conditions governing smallpox
are much the same in st. Paul as in
Minneapolis. the number Of cases re-
corded in published reports in the former
city is much smaller. Minneapolis health
officers cannot understand why, when st.
Paul reports hardly more than a dozen
cases. the sanity city officers should ask
accommodations for their surplus patients
IN the Minneapolis quarantine hospital.
This has happened On two or three occa-
sions this winter, the last time only two
days ago. On one other occasion an Off
cial of the st. Paul department acknowl-
edged that htere were thirty one pa
t1ents In their smallpox hospital. e.
But what are the facts as officially pub
lished by the department? The last re-
port of the director Of the United States
Marine hospital. just at hand, gives the
interesting information that between
December 3 of last year and February 21,
st. Paul had sixteen cases of smallpox
and Minneapolis in the same time 146. The
figures of course came in each instance
from the heads OF the two departments
and are official.
The Minneapolis health department Of
f1cials find it impossible to reconcile the
government report as to the conditions
in st. Paul with their own knowledge of
the situation there now and during the
winter. -

Eleventh Wards Election Proves a
Lively One.
The Eleventh Ward Republican Club
had warm meeting Friday in Frank
lin hall, at Franklin and Seventeenth
avenues 8. The election of officers re-
suited as follows President, Charles
Cork; vice president, James Garratt; sec
Rotary, A. Hdsten; treasurer John Mar
tinson. Mr.. Garratt promptly resigned,
which will necessitate another election.
It Is said that Mr.. CARAT refuses to
serve with the new president.
Preceding the election, member an
nounced that the meeting was stuffed
He made charges that one of the prom
1nent members Of the club had secured the
seventh and twelfth wards for material
with which to secure his election, and
that there were present men from the
railroad shops and elsewhere who had no
right to vote. Matters threatened to be-
come somewhat warm when motion was
made that every member of the league
should renew his pledge of membership by
signing the roll, and that only such should
be allowed to vote. The motion was car
ried unanimously, but that was as far as
1t went Notwithstanding the objections
Of many present, the roll was not signed
and the voting went on. Mr.. CARAT is
said to have objected to such methods and
for that reason, to have refused the Office.
