Among other things they Republican
papers) are asking the same questions
which they have so often sprung on the
public (jusr before an election):
why is it that SO many members OF
the Fusion party are now returning to
the Republican ranks?"
As no one seems ready with a reply,
the Appeal will endeavor to give a few
possible reasons
Before the Fusion party came into
power it was costing over $4,000 for
each Legislative session. 1t is now
costing $50, 900 and possibly people who
like to see an expensive Legislative ses-
sion are getting tired of the economy
and want old the $50, 900 session.
In those good old Republican days it
used to cost as high as $50, 900 per an
mum to run the Executive Department
of the State, and it is now run for $32.-
600 per annum. This state of affairs
may not be pleasing to taxpayers who
like higher taxes and they are getting
back into the party that frowns down
State economy.
Or, possibly they are men who like
the old plan of paying $685. 900 a year to
run the Judicial Department, instead OF
GA, 000.-Carson Appeal.

One illustration of the methods of

afforded by an incident of scarce two
weeks ago. Then there was left in the

three hours old. The child was in a
basket. wrapped in fine linen, and at
first glance there seemed to be nothing
that would furnish a clue TO its identity.
Closer Identification, though, revealed
the fact that on some OF the linen was
the mark of the city hospitals, where
obviously the child had been born. An
Investigation was made by Mr. Doug

sible that sometimes the story they
are told is apocryphal. but the helpless

was five years old from a uotoriOus re-
sort on New Jersey Avenue. She has
been at this home in Virginia for four
years. and II she remembers the squalid

there is no indication of it in her ap-
pearance or manner.
Some weeks ago a relative of this
family visited the home She had been
there ten days before she learned that
Abbie was not the child of her kindly

The board requires constant reports
from each of these homes of the condi-
ton and progress of the children, and
frequent personal visits are also made
them. The child is watched from the
time he is placed in the home until he
is adopted or indentured, and even after
such events the inspection is scarcely
less rigid. If the child seems to need
discipline he is sent to the Junior Re
public, which rarely fails to exercise an
excellent effect upon hts character.
