LITTLE MOUTHS ARE CRYING FOR FOOD,
LITTLE HANDS ARE COLD AND BARE,
AND LITTLE FEET ARE WITHOUT SHOES
MAY HAVE TO
CLOSE ITS DOORS.

THE effort of the Palladium. to
raise a fund for the relief of the
worthy poor who are in need OF
prompt assistance. meets with my
most hearty commendation. All
the money the Palladium can raise
by popular subscription will be
greatfully accepted by the Asso-
ciated Charities, as our treasury is
smaller than it has been for sever
al years. If there are as many ap-
peals for help from the worthy un-
employed during January, as there
has been so far this month, the
Associated Charities will have to
close its doors the first of Febru-
ary, perhaps sooner, as our limited
fund will be expended. Mrs.
Elizabeth Gambler. city missionary
of the Associated Charities.

Cold, Hungry and Almost Ex-
hausted, He Asked Aid of
Township Trustee.
ON HIS WAY TO RELATIVES.
HAD WALKED ALL THE WAY
FROM INDIANAPOLIS AND WAS
IN SEARCH OF WORK WHICH HE
COULD NOT SECURE.

Cold, hungry and almost exhausted
from walking nearly all the way from
Casey, ILL.,, Patrick McElwee arrived
in this city today and went at once to
tue office of Township Trustee Charles
Potter to receive assistance.
There McElwee, who is fifty-nine
years of age, told a story Of privation
and suffering which even touched the
heart of Potter, who is used to hearing
daily hard luck stories.
The old man said that he went from
his home in Brookville, Pa, a few
months ago to accept employment as a
laborer on a pipe line. He lost his job
there and all efforts to find other en-
ployment in Casey were fruitless. Nc
Elwee then started out in search Of
work elsewhere. Walking in an east
ern direction he went from town to
town, but everywhere his tired feet
took him he met with the same sto-
ry: There is no work to be obtained
here"
McElwee soon ran out of his small
supply of money and to keep from
starving to death he had to beg food
along the route. Now and then a
township trustee would give him trans
portation for a short distance on the
railroads or traction lines.
McElwee said that he walked the en-
tire distance from Indianapolis to
Richmond. Il am so crippled and eX-
hausted now that l could not work if
some one would give me employment"
said the unfortunate old man.
McElwee hopes to reach his old
home at Brookville, Pa, before he has
entirely exhausted his strength. Trus-
tee Potter gave the old man traction
transportation to Eaton.

The secretary declares that neither he
nor his friends have used their influ-
ence in behalf of any candidate for the
presidency and that he has not been
a candidate for anything but the conf.
dence of the people. He adds that Il
he should hereafter decide to be q
candidate for any Office he will say SO
frankly
The statement follows:
Dec. II, 1907. do not know that
am called upon to make a statement
at this time, but in view of the vari-
GUS rumors in circulation as to the al
legged political activity of friends of
mine in my interest, ! will say that |
have not been a candidate for any but
the confidence of the people in dis
charge of my duties as secretary of the
treasury, | have not in person sought
nor have the friends whose names
have been mentioned in this connec-
ton sought, to influence political
movements in my interest. have not,
nor have they, used any influence di-
rectly or indirectly, to secure palitical
aid for or against any candidate for
the presidency, and accusations that
such has been done are unqualifiedly
false.
In no Office. in no one of the three
departments with which | have been
connected, have | authorized or per
mitted officials or employees to attempt
to influence any such movements, nor
shall do so. In common with many
other citizens, | have decided views as
to policies and as to candidates, but |
til believe it is proper to do so. Upon
this statement ! am entirely content TO
leave the people draw their conclusions
regarding such rumors as these TO
which / have referred
IF in the future I shall decide to be
a candidate for any Office | shall be
prepared to say so frankly and state
the grounds upon which | ask for such
support. In the mean time | shall
try as l have tried in the past, to con-
duct the treasury department for the
benefit of the peonle of the whole
country, and absolutely without regard
to whether any action | may take IN
the line of my duty may adversely af-
feet my personal or political welfare.
