HELP SAVE THE CHILDREN.

George Washington, in his fare
well address said, "The perpetuity
of the Government all depends on
the moral and religious training of
the youth. There are Iso, 900
children in West Virginia who do
not attend any Sunday School, and
the majority OF them receive no re.
ligious instruction of any kind. If
you were told that this number of
children in the State were starving,
would you not do your part to sup
ply their needs7 Yet they are starv-
ing for the "Bread OF Life with
out which the Bible says they must
perish.
1t has been found that religious
work for the children pays best and
that the Sunday School stands in
the front rank of useful agencies.
For SO years the American Sunday
School Union has been gathering
the neglected children into Sunday
Schools, at an average outlay Of
one dollar for each scholar. This
Society is doing the only interde-
nomination missionary work now
being done in West Virginia. 1t
is in harmony and co-operates with
the churches of all denominations.
It's great aim is to gather the reIi-
giously destitute, into Sunday
Schools regardless of creed OF de-
nomination. 1t reaches class that
would otherwise be neglected.
More missionaries are greatly
needed in West Virginia. am
sending out this call, hoping that
you will be interested in this most
important work, and willing to give
something to help along. Many
neglected children may be helped
by your gift. Remember 81 brings

SELLING OUT TO WALL STREET.


Speclai correspondence OF The Argus.
Washington, DC. March ~, 1904
Another step in the exploitation
of the Philippine Islands will soon
be taken by this Republican admin
istration. True to the instincts OF
graft and loot the administration
instead of proceeding itself to the
building of railroads, intends to lie,
out the privilege to capital in this
country and guarantee to that capt.
tai the interest on the investment.
In other words, this country is open
ing places for the investment OF
capital and guaranteeing TO the cap
ital immunity from loss. They pro-
pose to authorize the Philippine
government TO execute legislative
guarantee of 4 per cent per annum on
$40, 900, 900 OF bonds for railroad
construction IN those islands, and the
bill will be introduced this week by
Chairman Cooper, of the House
Committee on Insular Affairs. The
bill will bar out foreign capital so
as to give the capitalists OF Wall
Street the monopoly of the game.
This administration has been pes
sistent in its efforts to get the good
people of the country to believe that
the Wall Street interests are dead
against it, for political reasons and
for political effect. Does this move
look like it1 If Secretary Tai,
thought that il would hasten the
civilization and education of the
islands to construct railroads there
In, why does not the government
engage in the business itself instead
OF paying capital to do SOP II
would be grand object lesson in
the government ownership of rail-
roads and public utilities for the
government to undertake this enter
prise. Instead of that the admins
tration sells out to the Wall Street
sharks and guarantees them immu-
nifty from loss and sure return on
the capital invested and in return
they will get handsome campaign
contribution. This Is. the way this
thing looks to man who is on the
inside Of things at the national cap
ital, and / think have "called the
turn" 1t has never occurred to
these exploiters, grafters and hooters
that this legislation will clearly be
unconstitutional. But what in the
name of all that stands for graft
does the Republican party care
about the constitution When the
constitution stands in the way of
anything Republican wants to do,
he simply steps on il and mashes it
into the mire. Until the voters of
the country realize that they have it
in their power to stop this sort Of
thing it will continue ad libitum ad
infinitam. When will they see the
drift and get busy7

no doubt that Mr.. Hearst has a
great following among the labor
unions and aud common people
while he is hated by the aristocrats
with the same sort of hatred that
they have always exhibited toward
Bryan. From what have learned
II seems that Hearst never had any
inclinations toward the aristocratic
way of living. He never had any
liking for liveried servants, fast
horses and gaudy equipages. When
his father died he inherited some
millions and all the accompaniment
and an equipage of great million

from the FIRST to step into that kind
of life and went actively TO work.
He turned his fathers $40, 900 race

His personal habits are rather Of

nv SAMUEL }. BARKows
Corresponding Secretary OF the Prison As.
ISOLATION OF New York

The contribution of women to the
work of prison ref orm has been so
valuable that her cooperation in
every branch of penology is now re-
gsrded as necessity.
We need in penology the help Of
women in doing no, only what we
know ought to be done. but also in
finding out what ought 10 be done,
and in solving KIN oity and unsettled
questions.
In the field OF penology woman
needs the ballot as she needs II in
other fields. no, as an end but as a
means; as an instrument through
which she can express her con-
science, her intelligence, her sym
patty and love. Questions in phil
anthropy are more and more forcing
themselves in legislation. Women
are obliged to journey to the legisla-
ture at every session to instruct mem.
bers and committees at legislative
hearings. Some of these days we
shall think it absurd that women
who are capable of instructing men
how to vote should not be allowed
to vote themselves. If police and
prison records mean anything they
mean that considered as law abiding
citizens, women are ten times as
good as men. Why debar the bet
ter and enfranchise the worsea In
the field of commercial and political
competition women may demand
the ballot as right; but in the field
of philanthropy and reform she
needs it for the fulfllment of her
duties.

Secretary of Agriculture to employ

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young I;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen tho lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
1t isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but If you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
