It has been suggested that a central
Office shall be established whose business
it shall be to investigate all calls for
charity from whatever source and that
assistance shall only be given on the
accommodation and order of the head
of this office. The suggestion is a good
one and in the opinion of many people
who have personally had much to do
with the distribution Of charity funds
such an ONCE should have been es-
tablished in this city long ago 1t is
believed by those people who have had
experience that the establishment of a
central office would result in much
more effective relief measures than
those now being carried out by the
different charitable organizations and
a much more equitable division Of the
funds subscribed for relief work. While
it would seem that there is little need
For any investigation in a great many
cases that are being brought to the
attention of the charitable workers at
this time-for it is only too evident that
the majority of the applicants are hav-
ing their first bitter experience of be-
ing obliged to ask for help-yet it has
been discovered that some of the old
timers, those that might be called the
professional dependents, are taking ad-
vantage of the present situation and
have managed to get assistance fom two
or three different sources A central
Office would have lists of every person
receiving help whether from the city
or from some organization and a stop
would be put to repeating in short
order. Furthermore at the rate the
applications are coming in now there
will not be any too much money to
carry on the relief work through the
winter and it is certain that a systema-
tic central bureau would make the
money expended by the different chart
table organizations 60 much further
than it does now.

There can be no doubt that the
country demands currency legislation
at this session of Congress that will
provide the means of increasing the
circulation in times of emergency but
there is no Disgusting the fact that
the progress Of such legislation will be
watched with considerable uneasiness
by the business world. There would be
greater confidence with greater unani-
nifty of opinion among the leading
fnanciers as to the form the legislation
that all concede is needed should take
but up to the present time there seems
to be no possibility Of agreement on
any measure.

We confess to being rather skeptical
as to the value of petitions and there
fore have not much faith that the
men who are working for law and ord
er will accomplish much with that
monster petition they propose to pre-
sent to the city council. The general
run Of men sign any petition presented
to them rather than argue with the
man who is circulating it and the poll
ticians know this from experience for
it has happened more than once that
opposing petitions have been presented
to the council signed by the same men
showing conclusively that the men
who signed them did not know or did
not care wha they were signing.
Should the men who are behind the
petition, however, be able to convince
the politicians that the men whose
names are on the document intend to
vote for law enforcement and use
their best enedavors to put men in
Office who will carry out their wishes
that will oe different matter entirely

among the politicians to get aDoard

before. Just at present, though, the
Office holders and the would be office
holders evidently do not regard them
selves as in any immediate danger Of
being obliged to get under cover.

The street railway company lays the
falling off in it receipts in the last few
months to the hard times but some of
it is undoubtedly due to the bad SER

depend on the cars to carry them any

ISSUES CHALLENGE
Kenosha Runner Wants to Meet Winner
of Racine Kenosha Running Race


Lyman Morehouse is not satisfied
with the result of the running race be-
tween Racine and Kenosha which took
place on last Saturday and declaring
that he injured his ankle at Central
Park and that the injury practically
put him out of the running, he has
issued challenge to Michael Stopper
for race to be pulled off at any time
when the roads are good or in some
hail. The friends of Morehouse in
Kenosha seem to be convinced that he
would have made good had it not been
for the injury to his ankle and it is
said that they are ready to back him
to any reasonable amount. There is
every reason to believe that the
match will be arranged

Montgomery, Ala, May 18.-On
account of the length of the ticket IN
today's election, managers in nearly
every county were overcome with
the task before them, and many
stopped count before midnight. This
means nothing like a satisfactory
count is to be had at one o'clock.
The Advertiser had reports from 81
OF the 81 counties. Few CT these re-
ports give detailed results. They
show Governor Johnson, of Mime
sofa, developing some strength in
the cities and larger towns.
The northern part of the state,
however, appears to have been solid
for Bryan. Ut is roughly estimated
that 100000 votes were polled. John
son probably obtained $4,000 of this
vote
Bryan leaders claim his strength
is to come from interior counties,
which have not been reported.
Two justices of the supreme court
were nominated. James I ~--yfield,
Of tuscaloosa, seems to have led,
