Children Trained in Orphanages
Better Equipped Than Many
Turned out of Homes.

Statesville Landmark.
A writer in the Lexington Dis
patch, giving an account of a
visit to the Thomasville Orpha-
mage, says:
AT the age of 16 the boys and
girls are sent forth. They have
then completed the eight grades
in school and have learned to do
those things that fit them for
life. Girls can cook and sew and
sing and nurse, good housekeep-
ers all. Boys can make shoes,
set type, farm, take care of stock,
keep house, too, run certain
kinds Of machinery, sing and
other things. All have been
impressed with the great truths
of moral living. They are in far
better shape to make their way
than the Is year-olds we turn
tout from homes where there are
fathers and mothers to look after
them, and love them, slave for
them and suffer for them-and
pay their way"
1t may not be fiattering to the
fathers and mothers to say it,
but The Landmark has little
doubt that the great majority
of the children turned out of al
the orphans homes in this State
are, as stated, far better equippeC
for duties Of life than the av
erage child who has been blessed
with a home and parents to car
for it. The difference may b.
explained in two words -disci
pline and training, The man
ayers of orphanages who kuov
their business make the train
ing of the child for the duties O
: life the chief object of the work
The children are not merel
provided with food and clothin
and a place to sleep, but they ar
: trained physically. mentally an
\ morally. In too many homo
the children are fed and clothed
sent to school if they want to GO
f or permitted to stay at home
= allowed to work if they want
y or allowed to idle. In short the
+ are left without care or train
ing and if they amount to an!

Hottest Place on Earth.
New York Press.


Bahrein Island, in the Persian
Gulf, is said to be the hottest
place on the globe, far hotter
than Tophet. The average
temperature is about al degrees,
On the coast, where the people
live, there is no fresh water, but
here and there in the harbor's
bottom are strong, freefiowing
springs of purest water, rivaling
that which flows down the sides
of the mountains of Lebanon,
favored by the sap of healthy
cedars. Divers equip themselves
with bags made of skins and de-
cend to the springs, where they
fill the inverted receptacles with
aqua pura. This water is colo
enough to drink without the aic
of ice, of which the islanders
know nothing.

Although men as they run are
perhaps muscularly stronger than
women, their inability to with
stand the elements and their re-
lance upon clothes places them
considerably below the so-called
weaker sex in the matter of I'M
clothed toughness. Women wear
clothes for ornament; men use
them as a protective covering. A
group of men marooned clothes
less on an island in the temper
ate zone might be expected to
die off in a month from draughts
and colds and rheuma tism. The
health of women similarly plac-
ed would suffer little from the
enforced exposure. The fact ap-
pears to be, therefore, that in
everything but muscle-in vital
ity, ruggedness, character, dis
position, brain power, etc. -wo-
man is the tougher, not the
weaker sex.

merits at the October term.

Mr.. BRYAN FALSELY AC-
CUSED.
Two Charges Against Him That
are Discredited.

CnarlCLLe ODScINSi-
The Watson charge that Mr.;
Bryan when in Congress refused
to vote for Mr.. Crisp, of Georgia,
for Speaker, and accompanied
this refusal with the statement
that ne never had voted for a
Confederate soldier nor ever
would, has been very thorough
Iy exploded, not only by Mr..
Bryan's denial but by reference
to the Congressional Record, and
does not deserve TO weigh longer
IN the public mind. AS a mat
ter of fact he did vote for Mr..
Crisp, as the caucus nominee,
though voting in caucus against
him and for Mr.. Springer, OF
Illinois, which fact should rot
be charged up against him by
any Southerner. 1T is not sur
prising," as The Washington
Herald says, that Mr.. Bryan
should have preferred Mr.. Spring
er to Mr.. Crisp. This all hap
pened nearly twenty years ago,
remember! Mr.. Bryan was a
young Congressman, ambitious
and aggressive. He came from
a constituency largely composed
of Union soldiers; and it was
lust as natural that he shoulC
have been loyal to them as i
would have been for a Virginlar
to be loyal to the followers o.
Robert E. Lee. 1t is hardly t.
be doubted that Mr.. Bryan trul!
represented his constituency il
voting in caucus for Mr.. Spring
era most eminent Democra
and member of the House O
very high standing" In con
sideration of this matter tn
fact last mentioned should no
be overlooked nor minimized
Mr.. Springer was as worthy an
as able Democrat as Mr.. Crisp
with as high qualifications TO
! the speakership as he. An
! Democrat in the House Nigh
, have voted for either with equs
q ground of warrant.
Another charge against MI
Bryan which we must discredi
is that he objected to a Souther
v man as chairman of the nations
. committee on ground that sue
a selection would be calculated t
ALLEVIATE negro votes. He he
p made a gaeat mistake from
B political tactical standpoint
+ welcoming negro Republica

Mr.. TAFT DISSATISFIED.

Mr.. Bryan Declares That Mr..
Taft is not Satisfied with the
Work of the Chicago COnven-
ton, But is Deeply Impressed
With the Work of the Demo
cratic Convention.
Fan view. Lincoln. Neb Dispatch July 20.
Charging that William H. Taft
lis not satisfied with the work OF
the Chicago convention" which
Nominated him the Republican
candidate for the presidency, and
that "he is deeply impressed
with the work of the Democratic
convention" William J. Bryan
to-day issued a statement in
which he expresses the opinion
that Mr.. Taft fears the up
rising which Republican abuses
have caused, and yet hesitates
to adopt his real and substantial
reforms" The statement was
called forth because of the allega-
ton made by Taft in his speech
of acceptance at Cincinnati yes
terday that Mr.. Bryan was de-
stroyer of business. In regard to
the speech Mr.. Bryan said. =.
Il read it, and shall discuss 1t
as | deal with the various sub
iects upon which it treats. For
instance, in a speech at Topeka,
between now and the 1st OF
September, l shall discuss the
guaranty of banks and contrast
Mr.. Taft's position with the
Democratic position. In my
Labor Day speech at Chicago on
September 7th shall discuss his
attitude on the labor question. In
other speeches, l shall discuss
his attitude on the tariff question,
the trust question and other ques.
tons on which he has expressed
himself.
1.-The most noticeable feature
of his speech, is his attempt tt
amend the Republican platform
by ENGRAVING in it some of the
planks of the Democratic plat
form. He is evidently not salts
fed with the work of his cOnven
ton, and is deeply impressed b!
the work of the Democratic con
yer. ton. He is uncharitable
however, in not giving the Demo
cratic party credit for having
pointed out the reforms whicl
his convention repudiated, bu
which he in a half-hearted way
endorses. The speech show
that he fears the uprising whic
Republican abuses have causeC
and yet hesitates to adopt hi
real and substantial reforms.
Confirmation was given by Nh
Bryan to the story printed in tn
afternoon that it was not his in
tention to make any extende
campaign tour but only to d.
liver a few prepared speeches {
central points before the LIST {
October, and that during tn;
month he expects to renal
home and assist in the education
al work of the campaign throug
the discussion of public question
in the form of signed article
interviews and letters.
THE outline of my plan
campaign as printed to-day,
said Mr.. Bryan, lis substantial
correct, but | am not yet pr
pared to announce the number
speeches, or the places. Besid
speaking in Topeka in Augu
and at Chicago on Labor Day,
shall attend the Democratic &C
vention at Peoria on Septemt
9th, the notification of Mr.. Ke
at Indianapolis on a date not J
fixed, and a farmers congress

26th."
