ANOTHER ANARCHIST LOOSE
President A. B. Stickney

T.: - President A. B. Stickney. ~
They have distributed to the public
billions of nominal dollars engraved on
bits of paper and thus have become the
possessors of wealth. A few men have be-
come enormously rich and conspicuous
They have speculated and doomed stock.
They have built houses with the most ex-
pensive luxurious furnishings Nothing
seemed of value which is not expensive.
So some have divorced their old wives
and bought younger and more expensive
wives. These are the contributions which
trade monopolies have made to present
prosperity Contributions Of vulgarity, de-
bauchery and shame! . ...

romance Of strictly oriental type. It is
full Of action with accompanying shud-
ders and thrills, especially in that por-
ton in which human sacrifices are offered
to Baal-Moloch. The local coloring fits
the history of the time and place, and the
historic incidents are made use Of to good
effect. Merodach Is made the discoverer
of the sea route from the Mediterranean
to Britain, whittier he is sent for tin. The
studio Of Hiram, an artist Of Tyre, who
plays an important part in the story, is
said to have been the birthplace of the
order of Free Masons. Altogether the
story is of unusual interest, which is en-
phasized by the historic setting.

LITERARY NOTES

Few short stories have created a deeper i'm
preston than Frances Hodgson Burnett's "The
Dawn of Tomorrow which appeared in the
December and January numbers of Scribner's
Magazine. 1t is peculiarly expressive of MANY
ideas which are coming more and more to the
front at this present time. in the minds, of
thoughtful people. The story is to be published
illustrations. Nothing Mrs Burnett has written
deserves to be more widely read and thought
about. e-'
One Of the shorter novels of this season null,
be THE Day-Dreamer. by Jesse Lynch VIII
liams. 1t is the romance In the life of mod
ern genius, but it is decidedly story of action
1t Is to be issued by Charles Scribner's Sons.

Organized Charities.

The association Of charities is op-
posed by some on the ground thatschar-
ity is a personal function whose high
est exercise cannot be had by con-
tributing money to an organization
which will undertake the business Of
relieving the needs of the poor While
this is in measure true, it is not a
truth which initiates against the or
ganization. Of charity. The associa-
ton does not wish to deprive the indi-
vidual of the exercise Of his good feel
ings toward those in need of his assis-
lance. 1t only aims to help him direct
his charities in such a way that he
will not be imposed upon. There are
two kinds Of charity cases with which
relief agencies have to deal-fraudu.
lent applicants for charity who make
liberal income by working the gen
erous hearted, and deserving cases
which are never reported, and hence
never receive the attention which they
should have. ~
It is the object Of association to cure
both Of these defects in the system Of
| charity. With plenty Of fnancia
backing it will employ competent Wis
itors who will look up all deserving
cases and put them in the way Of re
lief. 1t will investigate also al
| frauds and warn the public against
| them. Moreover, it will be able, thru
it's organization, to give the deserving
poor the kind Of aid they need. I
| is 50 seldom that case is covered
by a gift Of money that the need Of
! organization is felt most severely tt

| Associated Charities in this city ar.
today in close accord in their work
This is a fortunate thing, because i
brings together three agencies which
working at cross purposes, would b.
capable of infinite harm, where toda,
they are doing much good.

The Passing of the Pass,

While there may be no antipass legis-
lation at this session of congress, as
indicated by our Washington dispatches,
the antipass idea is popular and will
some day prevail. It is said that the
Pennsylvania railroad has cut off the
pass business SO effectually that only
thirty passes were issued by that
company during the month Of January,
the thirty-seventh going to an official
Of the Canadian Pacific railway for use
between New York and Washington.
Of course, the issue Of passes might
be covered up to some extent by the
use Of tickets Of a special kind, but
the inability Of congressman to obtain
free transportation indicates that, so
far as the Pennsylvania road is con-
cerned, at least, the pass business has
been reduced to very narrow limits by
comparison with what it used to be.
Our correspondent reports the alleged
announcement of Mr.. Hill in New York
that there will be no free passes over
his lines after this year. This, it is
expected, will result in the transfer OF
North Dakota political headquarters
from the Merchants hotel in ST. Paul
to some place within the state.
The general public will view the abo-
lition Of the pass abuse with satisfac-
ton. The railroads do not carry any
body for nothing. When one man rides
free, somebody else pays for it. But
whether the railroads adopt that policy
themselves or not, the Elkins law, pre-
venting discrimination, is well calcu.
lated to stop-the issue Of passes if il
were enforced. AS a matter Of fact
the general public has more to gain by
the elimination Of the pass abuse than

THE NAME "BOSTON"
Household COMPANION.

Catholic monk Of the name of Botolph, or
Botholph (boathelp), founded church in
what is now called Lincolnshire, England.
Gradually town grew up around the
church and was called Botolphs-
town, which was afterwards contracted
to Botolphston, and then shortened to
Botoston, and finally to Boston. From
that town Of Boston in Lincoln came to
America the Rev. John Cotton, who gave
the name to the New England capital.
