She says further that each society

blessing to each of them and help them
to be a blessing to others.
"The White Dove" is what the chill
dren Of a crowded east side neighbor
hood call the Gospel Settlement Home,
which was located there six years ago
by Mrs. Sarah j. Bird. 1t is said to
be the one white spot In a weary waste
OF squalor. In this neighborhood, up
several flights OF stairs, families OF
seven, ten, even twelve, are often found
living In one Ok two small rooms, where
the atmosphere is laden with impurity
and general conditions are evil beyond
expression.
So great is the preponderance OF
Foreign element over the native born
Americans that this section Is describ-
ed as "a large slice OF the missionary
field lifted and left on our door steps,
The Gospel Settlement is open tc
those people at all hours. The girIs
learn to sew, sweep and dust n room
and make beds. There is a ''shirt waist
club" and a collar club which are very
popular. There is history club FOL

reverence for our institutions, love FOL
our national songs, and a comprehen
sion OF the duties and privileges o.
American citizenship.

Steal, which was the most gigantic
swindle that has eyer been perpetra-
ted on the American peoplef Real
energy and honest purpose would
have anticipated the Statue of Limi-
tstions as to these people who will
now go free. Has Roosevelt been
protecting the American people in
their rights, when he aud the Con
gress of his party have converted a
surplus of $50, 900. 900 into deficit OF
more than 10000, 600 for the fiscal
year just closedf A view of Roose-
velt's administration will not disclose
a single action that has really inter-
fered with the trusts, or with politi-
cal practices of the kind associated
with Quay, Plat, Hanna and Addicks,
which practices have their necessary
fruits in the debauchery of the Pub
lie Service.
Judge Parker is today the one

New York CT, Sept. s, 1904

New York Cf, Sept. 8, 1904.
One of the greast queetions by
which we are confnted is whether
the tax payers ar, to have a voice
in the way In whiS this country Is
governed, or whetlr they are to pay
the expenses Of rui ing this country
and allow the crimial trusts to frame
AL of the laws und- which we haye
to live. Under Reublican rule the
farmer. small deal and wage earn
er have no voice any of the laws
that are passed. The Republ' can
party is the motheof trusts. When
the Republican pity is in power it
F. is because the truss have bought the
right to place one e their number in
the Presidential chir, and they are
always careful TO zee that the occu-
lpant is man whtwlll not only do
!nOthing detrimental to the interest
lof the trusts, but Who, If told to do
$50. will, In the lords of Theodore
Roosevelt, ''overtrow constitutions
and disregard shtutes. The laws
under which truss thrive are laws
that are detIimenk l to the interests
jof the farmer, small dealer and wage
learner. The present. tariff law is a
Isyphilitic offsprlni of the trusts. II
is a Jaw under theEerms of which the
trusts are allowed to rob the con.
sumer. The farmers, small dealers
and Wage earners are eager for just
Iactual and immediate reduction oil
the tariff. They demand a reduction
of the tariffs that protect criminal
trusts. They are tired of a tariff
that fills the ricl mans pocket ant
3empties the poor mans dinner pail
They are tired of a tariff that enables
the trusts to sell for high prices a
home and low prices abroad.

Alton B. Parker, a man whose chief
characteristics are his absolute fair
ness, impartiality and breadth of
view of all questions that come be-
fore him. Judge Vann, who was as
sociated with Judge Parker on the
Court of Appeals bench, says Judge
Parker's entire official career shows
power, modesty, learning, strength
of character, independence, conser-
vatism and soberness of view, that
every step of Judge Parker's judicial
life has reflected honor and dignity
on the position he fills. Can as much
be said of Roosevelt and the position
he fills7
The advocates of a protective tariff
talk of the interests of the farmer,
small dealer and wage Garner, and tf
the protection the tariff affords
them, when they well know that the
present tariff law has taken away
from the consumers what little pro-
! lection they had, and frees the trusts
from the payment Of its small share
of the governments tariff revenue.
Rooseyelt's conduct In floating the
Panama Canal, his ruthless disregard
for public sentiment in the South,
his dictatorial assumption of au-
thority in every department of the
public service, have sufficed to show
the people that his ideal government
is one of Imperialism, that he re-
CARDS brute force as the equivalent OF
right. and his will as the equivalent
of legality. Can we afford to have as

stopped her.

were cruel enough to punish your son
like that?" he demanded.

were quite common in California In

used as circulating medium. They
were made of pure gold, and, while
they had not the elegant finish Of the

them as the handsomest coins they ever
