Result of Hanna,s Bill.

As a sample of what has followed
the Introduction of Senator Hanna of
that bill granting pensions to form
err slaves, the circular of the eX-Slave
Mutual Relief. Bounty and Pension as
ISOLATION, with supreme headquarters
in Washington, may be mentioned.
This circular starts off with an an
nOuncement of the introduction of the
bill by Senator Hanna, who is de-
scribed as imam of might and
power" and as a natural consequence
it is asserted that victory is perched
on our banners" Further on it de-
clares that certain moneys collected
for the purpose of furthering such
Legislation have not been sufficient to
meet all the necessary disbursements.
therefore. each member is requested
TO forward 81. with the exception of
those in North Carolina who have al
ready contributed"
Many schemes have been foated
since the introduction of the Hanna
bill for the purpose of getting deluded
former slaves to part with their mon
.ey in a useless cause. Fortunately
the postoffice department is alert,
and it is declared to be not unlikely
that fraud orders will be issued. as
they were two years ago against sim
liar efforts.-Buffalo Express.

y bill has been introduced in our
general assembly prohibiting bill
boards. 1t has called forth earnest
protest from the pictorial sign pain
tiers in this state. These are the gen
tlemen who ornament the landscape
with large signs on which are pictured
purple cows eating blue grass beneath
green skies. The signmakers declare
that their work brings cash. even if, it
is inartistic. and that the real issue is
art versus appetite. Women and child
rem will, inevitably suffer. they say, if
the sign painting industry is sacri-
feed in the interest of art. OF course
the women and children should not
be held responsible and punished, but
there ought to be some way of get
ting even with the painters" them
selves. The general public will stand
a good deal, but it draws the line at
purple cows.

Thug Whose Activities I'm His "Profes-
sion" VIII Probably Cease for
Awhile

AWnIle.
Clinton, Ia, March ga man who
says his name is Jack Burns has been
arrested for series of robberies. The
residence of County Coroner Hamilton,
DR.. Fischer, and Ed Henle were en-
tered and so close together are the
houses that the police went from one
to the other in quick succession close
on the heels of the robber. DIR. Fischer
jumped from secOnd-story window
in his night clothes and called for help,
leaving his wife alone with the bur-
glar.
At both places the marauder aroused
the household, but compelled submits
sion at the point of revolver. Sus-
picion pointed TO Burns, who has been
under surveillance of the police for sew
eral months. He was positively iden-
tilted by three of his victims. 1t is
thought he is responsible for the large
number of burglaries here this winter

Our Army of CrippIes.

The visit of Dr. LoTenz TO this coun-
try has brought out the startling
fact that our army of deformed and
crippled children is enormously lar
ger than was ever imagined. says the
Cleveland Press.
In every city where DR.. Lorenz visit
ed and operated the number of Grip
pied children that sought his attention
was revelation even to the local ply
sicians.
At one hospital in New York,
where ii was thought there might pos
sibly be 100 applications, more than
1000 presented themselves for treat
ment. More than 5000 in that city
alone were brought to light by the
interest excited by DIR. Lorenz's pres
ence. His success has demonstrated
that practically all of them might be
cured
1t was the same in every other city
he visited. Almost as wonderful as is
the hope that the Austrian surgeon
offers is the fact that there are so
many in this country in need of this
skill.
How these armies of crippled chill
dren have kept themselves concealed
is a mystery. Perhaps. however, it
was the want of hope which has kept
them in the background.
The ignorance or poverty of par
ents has no doubt caused many
children who. taken in time. might
have been cured, to go on without
treatment. without hope, until they
had become incurable, and lost in
the seclusion of home.
Disappointed ones who have tried
many methods, only to give up at
last in dispair, may also be numbered
by the thousands. Among these may
less benefit. but were never com
pletely cured or have relapsed.
Whatever the various causes may
be. the fact is clear that this happy
and prosperous country has a vast
unnumbered army of crippled child
rem, for whom no adequate provision
has been made or even seriously at
tempted.
No city in the whole land has hos
pital facilities for their treatment nj
all commensurate with the demand
That advanced science is capa BILE of
doing much for most of these de-
formed little ones, DR.. Lorenz's sue
cess has clearly demonstrated. 1t is
a solemn and sacred duty with which
society is face to face.
If there is any duty which society
owes TO itself, not as a charity. not as
Il philanthropy, but as a self-protec-
ton and a self-advancement. il is the
making of these crippled ones whole
and useful members of society. 1t is
the best investment TO which public
money can be put.
Nearly all great cities have societies
for the benefit of crippled children
But these societies can do little SO
long as hospital facilities are so fan
from meeting the demand. Nor should
the care and cure of crippled children
be dependent upon private benevo-
lence. 1t is public obligation.
We give public care to the aged
| he poor. the insane, the blind. the
deaf and dumb. But we can never
claim to have the highest civilization
until we also give public care and cure
to crippled children. releasing them
from their life-prison and putting
possibility and hope into their lives.
Every great city in the country
ought to have a hospital, fully equip
ped. where the most advanced treat
ment might be given to all deformed
and crippled children at public eX-
pense.
