Work for Homeless Children.

One of every seven hundred and
fifty human beings is homeless
child, says The Delineator. This
means one hundred and sixteen tho
usand children who are homeless to-
day in this country.
Thirteen thorssnd of these are at
present in homes under the care of
the National Children's Home So
ciety. Nearly one hundred thousand
are in orphanages, asylums and va
rious institutions throughout the CO.
untry. There is still great work
before the National Home-Finding
Society-and work which The Del
inator is proud to share, for the
work will be incomplete until every
healthy, normal child has been plac-
ed where it will receive its greatest
need, father and mother love.

What Others Say OF
Cummins.
Editor Bytander

Editor Bytander.
+ read with pleasure the an
nouncement Of Gov. A. B. Cum
Minis as candidate for the office
of United States Senator. To
my mind, and by his past record
Hon. A. +. Cummins is the
truest example of the Lincoln
type of Americanism, knowing
no man by his color, creed or po-
sition, but appreciate his worth,
thrift and integrity A. B. Cum
minis has by his treatment to-
wards the Afro-American voters
set a mark by which we can
measure him a standard of right
and justice, and by which
should prove him worthy OF
our fullest confidence, our pro-
found love, and most sincere
gratitude. ,.,.@ E..
He is like new star, or a star
n ew to the astromer, yet always
in the heavens, but by the provi-
dence of God just revealed to us
earlessness and wisdom marks
his life as a choice of the people.
AS Governor, impartiality, in
tegrity and advocacy OF right for
the oppressed, characterizes him
as a superb leader of the abolition
heritage. Every Negro who
casts a vote for A. B. Cummins
at the primaries in June, will ex-
ercise an act of wisdom, for we
are in need of such men in the
Senate to defend our rights.
Respectfully,
