The Best Way to Help.

The prigations of a poor family
were recounted in The Times some.
what more than a week ago. and
thus brought foreibly TO the atten-
ton of thousands Of citizens. I'm
mediately hearts were touched all
over the District. Aid poured in
from many sources. In less than
an hour forty-three persons visited
the bleak house where the unfortu-
mates liye-at which rate $40 would
have called in eight hours. A dozen
OF thereabouts called up the Asso-
ciated Charities on the telephone
and offered to supply that organiza-
ton with funds 10 help in its wholly
sensible way. Even yesterday there
were still offers of aid and more
visits.
Behind this wave of sympathy Law.
of course, an interest aroused in
those particular sufferers as human
beings. The outpouring of help was
q seal of that brotherhood which
binds Us all, fortunate and unfortu-
nate, closer together than we think.
But we ought not wait for the
occasional STORY" in the news
papers Cases Of the same or more
need are brought TO the attention
of the Associated Charities every
day. Its agents are regularly and
constantly, and with far more iudg-
ment than the average citizen can
expect to employ, visiting such
families, procuring medical atten-
dance for their sick, supplying them
with fuel, filing their larders with
substantial food, and, most impor-
tant of all, helping them get ON
their feet.
A contribution to the Associated
Charities is, therefore, the most
sensible means of reaching Just such
cases as that which has attracted
so much attention through being re-
ported in the newspapers. If the /
donor prefers TO visit the poor him
self-it is blessed thing TO do
he can be guided by one of the asso-
citation agents not 10 one such fam /
iiy, but TO a dozen. Having found
the needy he can then either dis

INCREASED DIVIDEND

Peoples Gas Co., of Chi

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-Direct0rs OF The
Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company
have declared a quarterly dividend OF
II per cent, placing the stock again on
a per cent dividend basis.
In February, 1906. the dividend was re-
duced from per cent TO per cent per
annum, the latter rate having been
maintained ever since. The dividend is
payable February D

their intention 10 continue this quarter

former yearly rate, which was cut ]

the price of gas was reduced by the
Illinois Legislature 10 IS cents per
thousand feet, and the company had
trouble about its franchise.
The company paid c per cent from
August, 1897, up to a year ago. In 1896,
only IA per cent was paid; in 1885, 25k

The German Elections.

II is not 10 be doubted that the
social democrats in Germany met a
great defeat IN the elections yester.
day, which is likely TO be made still
more crushing as result of the see.
ond and third elections in districts
which failed to give any candidate
Il majority. The early returns sug-
gest a great falling off Of the social
democratic vote, but there is some
evidence that instead of this the re-
suit represents an immense increase
of the strength of other parties.
About three millions of qualified
voters in Germany have been in the
habit of remaining away from the
polls. -Four years ago the socialists
made wonderful gains, and the con-
sentative, non-voting elements We're
brought TO realize that TO overcome
the rising tide of radiealism the full
power of conservative forces must
be brought upon the field this year.
The Emperor and the chancellor.
accordingly, called their reserves
upon the field They used every de-
vide TO induce the three millions of
non-vpters to cast their ballots; and
Norwaerts, the socialist organ. de-
clares that though the socialists
lose in representation, they will
show an actual gain in votes.
II is poor comfort, however. to
the radicals of Germany. The fact
Is that the Emperor has won; that
his colonial and imperial policies
have been indorsed; that his
schemes of naval expenditure are to
20 ahead; that the army and navy
Of Germany are TO continue setting
the pace for the rest of the world;
that every country which has com
merce of colonies will be forced TO
recognize that the most militant
ruler has been given by his people a
new commission 10 increase his ac-
tiyities.

SPECIAL SESSION
TALKED AGAIN
Speaker Cannon'S Decision
About Tariff Not Pleas
ing to All.

Once more. great uneasiness over the
tariff situation is being manifested
among House Republicans. A large ele-
ment in the House is not satisfied with
the decisiol OF Speaker Cannon and 9TH
er leaders TO put the tariff revision
question over until after March 4 1909
The consequence is the movement for a
special session the coming spring is
again on.
The revived movement has been taken

Bias viii Not Serve.

Washington has a special interest
in the charges now pending against
Joseph W. Bailey. Probably the
great majority Of its citizens believe
him innocent of any wrongdoing.
The whole body of Washingtonians
surely believes him one of the ablest
men of the generation. and a dis
tinct force in the Senate.
For those reasons the Capital
trusts the report from Austin that
the inquiry is revealing bias in Mr..
Baiiey's favor are altogether I'M
founded. The acquittal which we of
Washington hope for would be
worse than useless if obtained with
ouf fun and impartial hearing.

No " Deal " at All.

Politicians of such marvellous now
ers of imagination exist in this
country that they will evolve for
themselves a trick from even the
most ordinarily matter-of-faet af-
FAIRS. II often happens that the
greater the politician becomes in his
special line the more suspicious is he
or what the ordinary man knows
are simple happenings without any
undercurrent of mystery or effects
more far-reaching than are natural
circumstances.
Some of these men, and especially
OF the State of New York, are now
settling it in their own minds that
the election of Governor Hughes. as
well as his action in making various
selections for important public Office.
means simply that the new gov
ernor of New York is tied up w III
some sort of scheme to force an
other nomination on President
Roosevelt.
According 10 Holland. the New
York correspondent of the PhiladeI-
phia Press:

such stuff is unworthy the Gre
dence of men of ordinary good
sense. No one can say that the
President cannot be induced bv the
tremendous force of circumstances
to sink his own preferences at last
and reconsider his determination
not to run again, but that he is ac-
lively scheming. and especially with
i man like Governor Hughes for a
nomination in 1905. Or-in the ligbr
OF Mr.. LongwOrth's recent state
ment-that he can look favorablv
upon a movement to nominate him
again, Is as absurd as to believe that
he is now laying wires to GUST Presi-
dent Eliot from the head of Harvard
University.
The whole connection is prepos-
ferrous, and time will show it So TO
be. There is something pardaoxicaI

$500 to $500 is now dispensed
every year. And he will then have
the satisfaction of knowing that he
is not duplicating the aid given by
some one else or giving things not
needed or driving the objects of his
charity nearer to pauperisn.
4 mother and several children
have just come under the notice of
the Associated Charities. The fam
lily has been deserted. A boy of ten
years old is at work. a babe Of two
years is in an institution pining away
for lack Of mothering, and the wom-
an has entered courageously, but
with a heavy heart, on a nightly
discouraging fight with poverty. A
pension of 50 a week for the time
being win enable her to send her
little son TO school, where he be-
longs, and restore her little baby
to his right resting place. With
what her frugality and industry en-
able her to earn, that So will sup
port the family and keep for them
a few of the things that make life
sweet.

much impressed with the story told

the $50 or the As. give attention to
these poor sufferers. 1t wiz do
them more good even than it viii

Approves Pension Bill
Fathered by McCunlber
But Resident Suggests That Service Clause
Acts as Barrier tc Deserving Ones on &C
count of Their Age at Enlistment

To tbe Editor Of The Washington Times:
The MCCumbsr pension bill that passed
the Senate and is now in the House
a step in the right direction; but there
are a few very important points that
ought 10 be considered carefully. a
pension for the war veterans is, or ought
20 be- an honorable one, and it ought
TO be an impartial one, too. II is In
tended that It will encourage men 10
enlist when needed again in that service.
OF course some special pensions are
given out OF pure charity, and that is
right too. II given 10 all deserving one
that need it, but this special bill is in
tended 10 equalize 10 she deserving ones
for the purpose Of future enlistments
and maybe other purposes.
Now. 10 make il much more fair r
not quite perfect, there ought 10 be
50 many years TO wait from siXty-tNgo
