It's not so difficult-this caring for band
of street children-as one would imagine.
Mrs. Bushee has five women assistants

there is Mr. Gilillan and A. d. Keator to
take care of the boys, though they are not,
Of course, left alone in this matter. The
housekeeping" is mostly attended to by
the little guests themselves. Circumstances
have made them independent of personal
care, and they really seem to enjoy clean
ing their tents and making up their cots,
which is about the only bit of routine
enforced upon them.
OF real sickness there has been very little,
nor is anything of a serious nature ex-
pected. The children are all examined be-
fore being brought to the camp, and save
for the to-be-eXpected bumps and bruises
incident to life in the open and occa-
sional tummyache the little dispensary and
hospital in the farmhouse has no occasion
for existence. There have been many cases
of fancied ilness-litte ones with queer
feelings and misery n the haid," but the
simple potions administered by Mrs. Bushee
and her assistants usually prove entirely
effective. The camp has it's regular physi-
clan or substitutes. who make frequent
visits and guard against the DEVELOPMENT of
any serious malady.
The life of the heads of the camp is filled
with amusing and pathetic incidents.
Brought from the city streets to the quiet
pastoral life in camp, the little guests are
inspired with many quaint and curious
imaginative ideas. Too well versed In the
sOrdid side of life they often find it i'm
possible to express their appreciation of the
things around them at the camp, and when
questioned can only find such words as ITS
ali right" or Fine But by the happy
CLEAN in their eyes and the w:stful ex-
preston on their too-old faces one can tell
that their little city souls are steeped ia
the core in the joy of green things and
open spaces. and one hates to think that
it's only two weeks of life for them and
then it's back to the hot asphalt and dingy
doorsteps.

AT the session of the South Carolina

shat prohibition is unsuited to this

its enforcement would be impractical

tual maintenance of martial law.
They will argue that the principles OF
home rule should exempt this COM

to engender contempt for other laws

win appeal to the generous and fair

ably be forwarded to Washington to-
day from the flagship Virginia, where

It is stated unofhcially, but from a
trustworthy source, that several mem
bers OF the board think the accident
was not due to,a spark but to spon-
taneous combustion Of gases general
ed by rapid firing. The board failed
to discover evidence to support the
spark theory. If this be true, naval
experts face a more serious problem
than in other naval disasters, as
sparks can be prevented, but it is un-

1sIf we are not to have sales by the

hibition, violated openly, as good as

tons they are. but, we believe Char

man would be oppressed with the
feeling that he was law-breaker
whenever he purchased whiskey or
beer, and that sensation gentlemen do
not enjoy. Interference with the

answer ready. Conditions they will
insist. can be no worse in Charleston
than they now are. The business OF
Illicit selling will be no greater and
the contempt of a prohibition law will
be no more general than it is for the
local option law. This latter law
was the best that could be given to
z Charleston within the constitutional
restrictions. The prohibitionists have
been forbearing and even indulgent to
Charleston and, having been in COM
pIete control Of its whiskey traffic for
year, Charleston presents 10 evi-
dence whate~er of Improvement.
The majority of the people Of the
State, they will continue, favor pro-
nibition. They prefer a uniform law
expelhng the traffic from the State.
If prohibition will not materially in
crease the number of blind tigers in
Charleston, and if the profits from
dispensaries are pitifully out Of pro-
portion to what their sum should be,
fwere the law enforced, why retain
system out of tolerance for Charles
tons wishes and against the wishes of
the majority of the States people. So
fer as the rucal counties nov retain
ing dispensaries are concerned, they
win az least not meet prohibition with
rebellion. # as now appears most
nyobabIe, State prohibition shall have

ltionists in our Legislature will be

that enforcement will be immensely
aided by the difficulty that will attend
