THE cHILDREy's AID SOCIETY.

Among the varying factors in the complex
problem of metropolitan civilization there are
some which remain practically constant. and
among these are some Of the most undesirable.
Ignorance, poverty, sickness, vice and crime
appear to know no season. They are endemic
and perpetual. And at least equally constant
and persistent. for the sake OF humanity, should
be the opposing factors OF instruction relief and
reform. Such we are glad 10 believe is the
case. If New York is the metropolis of need.
it is also the metropolis of relief and supply
If nowhere is the submerged tenth" 50 numer-
Gus nowhere else efforts for its elevation
and redemption so effective.
There are many agencies for good in this
city. of many different kinds, but there is nOne
we think, which may more confidently be com
mended to public regard and support than the
Children's Aid Society, for there is none which
Is doing better work In n more excellent way.
There can be no doubt Of the wisdom Of seeking
10 improve the condition OF the children Of the
poor and of the children Of the immigrants 1t
is well to strive for the uplifting Of adults, and
much is being done in that direction. But work
for the adults Is chiefly work for the present
time, while work for the children is work for
both the present and the future.
AT yesterdays annual meeting Of the Chill
drens Aid Society a gratifying report was made
of the work Of the last year. 1t was a great
thing 10 instruct 1916 children daily in indus
trial schools. to shelter 1894 In lodging houses,
TO give 9.461 relief at their homes. 10 care for
1852 sick children, TO send thousands into the
country for their health, to- place hundreds in
good homes and TO perform the other tasks men
toned in the report. And this work has been
going on not merely for one year but for more
than half a century, rolling up in that time an
aggregate of benefactions which no report could
now fully set forth.
1t is a pleasure to commend such an institI1-
tion to generous public support. The society
depends chiefly on voluntary contributions for
the maintenance and extension of its work There
should be in the making OF such contributions
a spirit Of constancy and OF growth comparable
with the persistence and the expansion of the
needs which the society seeks to meet There
could be no more appropriate manner In which
to observe the national feast of Thanksgiving
than the making of it a time OF thanksgiving
indeed for means to conduct this beautiful char
ity ON an ampler scale than ever before in It's
honorable history.

GERMAN COLONIAL INTERESTS.

Germany's colonial interests seem to be look
Ing uI. Perhaps the appointment of Mr. Dern-
berg to be the head of the Colonial Office has
something to do with It That gentleman is one
of the most practical Of business men, with all
the traditional shrewdness of the Jewish race,
TO which he belongs, and he looks upon the
colonial establishment not a scene for the
self-explotation Of loose living counts and mar
tinet colones, but as a business enterprise
which should be made to pay.
Hitherto the colonies have been notoriously
Improbable. Only Togoland, the smallest of
them all, has paid its way. Mr.. Dernberg has
not yet been able entirely to correct those con-
ditions, but the deficits are decreasing This year
they aggregate $26,O61, ,25O. Next year they are
estimated at $21, ,0O5. Goa reduction of S5,-
O5559O and the imperial treasury will have to
pay subsidy Of only $15,S60,93O. or $3.50, 400
less than this year. German Southwest Africa
is, as usual the most costly colony to maintain,
though German East Africa, the Cameroons and
the Caroline Islands have TO be subsidized and
Kiao-Chau calls for no less than S2,65OOOO
There is q considerable increase in the sums
demanded for the colonial administration at
home, but Ii is encouraging to observe the uses
TO which ii is to be put Mr.. Dernbergs policy
is TO give and TO require better technical and
commercial education for all men appointed to
places in the colonies. At Berlin and at Ham
burg he is organizing great schools for Oriental
and African languages and for training In
business. and hereafter men will be appointed
not because of political or personal influence.
but on the sole ground of merit In this way
Mr.. Dernberg expects TO attain in time the
end which he has in view. There is a classic
story of q gded youth who after losing
half dozen fortunes in half dozen business
enterprises settled down at farming and then
dema nded the congratulations Of his friends on
Al.
bur that he was losing less than ever before
That is what the German colonial establishment

the federal Constitution into desuetude will he
watched with interest.
The Montgomery Advertiser tells us some
other interesting things about the session:
Nobody in Alabama wanted the extra session
but the Governor The suspicion has become al
most certainty that when he declared ne
Alabama railroads surrendered their constitu-
tional rights he was offering a bold DlufL ah9
that he regretted his bluff when he was forced
to carry II out.
The Legislature. which is almost as much
bluff as are the railroads. was perfectly will
ling TO let the Governor make repeated mis-
takes" Its only interest was TO get through
with its part as quickly as possible. 1t went
home expecting TO be called back soon.
One act of the session seems 10 meet with
approval. This was the repeal of Governor
Corners law heavily taxing foreign corporations
lending money in Alabama. 1t did not prove
10 he a favorable year To tax companies fur
nishing capita! for Alabama's development.
Governor Conner was glad 10 get this measure

par with this one there Is certainly justice In

The wisdom of municipal hindsight is now he,no

offered to sell to the Borough Council for street
Improvement purposes the old cnder dunn pron-
erty in South Holidaysburg for the insignihcaft
consideration OF sS0O The borough fathers fouted
the offer and turned II down with scorn as a need

and rejected property has since netted these hand
some sums for it's various owners: f. r. Bald
