Mississippi Governors Comment on
Roosevelt's Visit to st. Louis Fair.

A dispatch from jackson, Miss, last
night says: Gov. Vardaman received a
telegram today from President Francis Of
the worlds fair stating, that President
Roosevelt had visited and admired the
Mississippi building and had expressed
great satisfaction that mississippi had
participated. To this Goy.uH ardaman re-
piled:
Your courteous message Informing me
that the President sawaaflxf admired the
mississippi building andsexpressed grati-
ncation at the states participation In the
Iair mas been received neIfhank you for
this information. 1t is of course crafty
ing to the people of Mississippi to know
that they have done sones thing that the
present President of the United States APP
proves. doubtless the Presidents admira-
ton of the Mississippi building is due to
his admiration of Jefferson Davis, of
whose last home 1t is asrepAca."
The Jackson newspapers condemn the
spirit or the governors reply in plain Ian
guagc. The Clarion Ledger one OF the
most conservative papers in the state,
edited by as warm friend and supporter as
Gov Vardaman ever had. says:
COY sardamans reply to President
Francis Of the st Louis exposition is not
courteous and. furthermore it was un-
cailed Tor. as even his warmest personal
and political friends will admit.
The time and the occasion were not ripe
for the .display of hatred and contempt
for the President of the United States. If
Mr.. Francis had imagined the possibility
OF such caustic reply as he got In ac-
acknowledgement of his courteous message ne
that courtesy.
Gov. yardaman has made the mistake
OF mixing politics. sectional feeling and
personal dislikes with state. national and
reply. to the injury and discred:t OF the
great stare Of Mississippi. The governor Of
MiSsisslpN 0as made biunder."

What it cost me to keep my promise TO
attend the club meeting the next day can
be imagined only by those who have been
through such an experience. 1 dared not
let Joseph know why found 1t necessary
to go down town. Some instinct warned
me not to mention that club meeting to
him. although 1t burned in my memory all
night.
1t was Just when I entered the room.
There had been a short business meeting,
followed by a recess. and now the clans
were rallying for the election. Mrs. Par
sons was resplendent in gray Paris gown
and chinchilla furs: her rival. Mrs. Beckett.
a nervous little woman was radiant in
black velvet and Spanish lace. The friends
Of each had gathered by natural selection
into opposing factions on each side of the
room. In the middle was the careworn
president with her secretaries, the two
rival candidates.
As l entered Mrs. Parsons looked up
brightly and beckoned me to a seat near
her. One of the women behind me whls-
pered In answer to a question: "Oh. that's
the little friend of DIR. Haven. Mrs. Par
sons seems to have taken her up
The gavel fell and silence crept over the
whispering women.
..The annual election of officers is next
in order" began the president. 81 will call
upon the nominating committee for their
report
An, elderly woman with strong features
and a plain black gown came forward.
Your committee. Madam President" she
began. "did not fully agree. and we have
therefore two reports to make" Mrs.
Becketts name headed the majority report
and Mrs. Parsons the minority.

will each work for the upbuilding of just
one or two needy households. OF such vol

the past year. Others who gave similar
personal service were: Savings collectors,

committee members, 10; division conference
members, 12S. and other volunteer workers,

bers OF various committees who took part
through the general Office. and excluding
duplication through some helpers serving I'm
two or more capacities. we find that 400
men and women gave personal. unpaid
service during the past year. Even this
does not include the helpers at the three
social settlements which cooperate very
closely with the Associated Charities In
behalf of the needy there were also 277
meetings held during the past year.

less went to his deserted home to talk the
matter over with Mr.. Martin himself. He
persuaded the man to empty out his p
of liquor and to promise to take a drink
cure. The agent called twice daily to see
that the little pills were administered and
found the man twice drunk after the treat
ment was commenced. Then 1t became evil
dent that Martins surroundings and asso1
Citations were too much for him, so the
agent took him at first into his own home
and later sent him to join his children at
Camp Good WILL
Here the drink cure was administered
regularly The man braeed his will against
his habit. The children's dependence
helped as did the ministrations of nature,
the fellowship of the camps workers and
the force of new surroundings. The man

to go back into the old alley, but the entire
household was transplanted into a new and

Suit Started Run on Kalamazoo Bank.

Excited savings depositors of the kala-
mazoo (Mich.) Savings Bank yesterday cre-
ated run on the institution, and drew dur
ing the day about $4,000 of their deposits.
The bank was kept open two hours later
than the usual closing hour in the after
noon, and il is considered that the run is
broken. 1t Is said that the run was caused
by the suit begun here Last week by some
of the heirs of the Henry Brees estate. Part
of the funds of the estate are kept at the
bank. and the institution was made de-
PENDANT with the executors This fact Is
said to have been misunderstood by num-
Der of the savings depositors and twisted
into belief that the institution was not
sound.

Difficulties Encountered.

Some of the perplexities encountered. the
decisions committees and division agents in
securing relief and solving the problem
of the poor are illustrated by the story of
a widow VINO was set up In keeping little
store. Her husbands sudden death had
left her with several dependent little ones
She had occasional epileptic attacks which
prevented her employment by other people,
but would not greatly interfere with her
conducting a little business of her own.
We found that she had been quite sue
cessful In developing small notion store
a few years before and we issued special
appeals for $40 to establish her In business
At each stage of the treatment there were
difficult problems to be solved and after all
our work the experiment was not success
full
The story illustrates the one fundamental
principle and purpose of the Associated
Charities, which is to bring about the ade-
quate treatment of each distressed indiyid-
ual or family on, the basis OF an adequate
Such adequacy is only possible in any COM
munity through the cordial cooperation of
all the charitable organizations and indi-
yiduals.
Typical Case Cited.
IT think the district nurse had some share
with our agent in the typical story of
Joseph r. Martin, which I tell mainly
because 1t shows what long-continued,
resourceful. personal service Is necessary
IN CONSTRUCTIVE cnarlIy Work. might
add. parentheticalIy. that Joseph R. Martin
is not the real name. and this is really one
which I brought from Chicago three years
ago. This Martin is an expert artisan who
has considerable education, owned his own
store at one time and is capable of earning
from So to $40 daily.
Drink was his ruin. Because of it he
sank lower and lower. until he dragged his
family down into a miserable alley. where
they often suffered for food. fuel and
clothing, while every rent day was a dread
ed crisis
Altogether 1t was a delicate, difficult So
cial problem. Our agent and her division
conference struggled with it for five years.
The agent and one or more friendly visitors
averaged. presume. at least fifty calls a
year upon the family for five years, or $50
visits. Small loans or material gifts were
administered occasionally to save the wife
and children from extreme suffering, hut
the relief funds constituted q very minor
and subsidiary part in the treatment of
this family, as, indeed, they do in nearly
all Our hardest cases. :

Emergency Relief.

''While the prompt issuance of emergency
relief orders rests wholly with the agents,
their frequent REPETITION or the giving of
large amounts of relief is discussed by
the division conference, a group of vol
unteer workers, who meet weekly in each
of the seven offices to assist in planning
and securing adequate treatment for each
distressed household. The division con-
ference may be compared to council of
physicians. The division agent presents
the problem, not mentioning the name or
address of the needy family but stating
the facts as she has learned them. The
conference members counsel with her as to
what kind and amount of charitable treat
ment will probably cure the needs
'SThe Associated Charities holds no re-
lief funds in its own name. except the Cold
en- Book Fund and occasional collections
of food and clothing which have been spe-
cially contributed. The great bulk of the
relief which the society records is secured
from appropriate sources. During the past
year food, fuel and other material aid has
been secured for needy families from the
st. Vincent de Paul Society 80 times the
Instructive Visiting Nurse Society, 100
times; churches. 100: business firms. 131;
the Golden Book Fund 143; private In
dividuals. 465 times: school supplies, 100;
the Citizens Relief Association, 4, 446 times
and from other sources, 12D times making
a total of $40 times in all that relief has
been secured for distressed households dur
ing the past year.

Judge Upton Muir Drowned.

A dispatch from Cape May. N. J..
says: Judge Upton Muir of Louisville
Ky. who was spending his vacation here
lost his life in the surf Wednesday while
bathing The Judge entered the water d.
rectly in front of the Stockton Hotel, and
had been enjoying his bath for about half
an hour when he was drowned. He was
in the water about knee deep and at a
point where there are no gullies. Several
persons on the beach saw him fall face
downward and as he did not Immediately
get up, some of the bathers went to his
rescue. He was unconscious and every
effort was made to resuscitate him with
out success.
The coroners jury rendered a verdict
of accidental drowning, believing the
Judge probably was taken with cramps
as the water was quite cool, or that death
was due to heart failure

The paternal municipality has added
much to the summer happiness Of these

paSserby asked him.
The youngster looked at the questioner a

'Gee!' he said why not?"
