Systematic Charity.

They were once looked upon as
the most charitable who gave the
most blindIy and most heedlessly.
Charity in the oIden days was aims.
The poor were kept poor. Once a
beggar, always a beggar. The least
deserving were always getting the
most help because they were the
most aggressive and the most insist
ent. They are so today, and always
viii be so, but they are not as sue
.cessfuI now, and VIII be less AID
less successful.
Charity has been organized and
converted into system. These words
sound so much like heartless and
selfish business that many of the
charitably disposed are inclined TO
withhold their support. They want
10 go on in the old way, giving di-
Tectly to those who appeal to them.
and to avoid any embarrassing in
-quiries into their character. necessi-
ties. or deserts. Modern efforts to
be of genuine benefit 20 the needy,
to help the really helpless. TO do
away with impostors, to place up-
fortunates in a position TO help
themselves, and to reduce the neces-
sity for charity itself have no
greater obstacle to overcome than
these same blind devotees of blind
Rlmsgiving.
Washington IS to be congratulated
upon the success that has attended
the movement here for system in
its charity. Three great charities.
which know neither race. creed. nor
previous conditions, are making
now their annual appeal to the
charitable of the city 10 uphold
their hands for another year
of faithful and helpful work among
those who need assistance. Assist
Hnce as used by these charities is
n broad word. It includes not only
the gift of money. food and cloth
ing, medicine and fuel. but that
higher and nObler assistance which
gives work to the unwillingly idle,
hope 10 the discouraged, and new
life to the Respondent.
The Associated Charities, the Citi-
gems Relief Association, and the
Committee on Prevention of Con-
sumption are not new charities.
They have records. and their books
are always open to the closest in
spection. They do not ask YOU for
your aid carelessly, but are as sys-
tematic IN their requests as they are
in their benefactions. Their expe-
rience in the past has shown them
what they viii need this year, and
they ask for so much, and no more.
They tell us that the Associated
Charities needs S1G,76O; Citizens Re
lief, $1,000; Prevention of Consump-
ton, S4,93s.
Another Improvement in their
operation this year is in combining
in their appeal for this help. In
stead of being called upon by three
separate organizations your aid is
sought by only one, the joint finance
committee, which represents all
three. You are told how much each
raeds, and then it is left to you to

or 10 three, and to give in any pro-
portion as may seem proper and
just TO you. And In giving 1t is well

especially in the House. and the Demo
Gratis are plainly getting ready to make
a hard contest 10 defeat the bill.
The Presidents own position. it IS
said by people who have gone into the
subject with him. is that the ideal
solution would be through the estab-
lishmcnt OF great central bank Uf
iseue FOR the country; very possibly.
a bank located in the central part OF
tho country, Chicago naturally being
the available central point. This mucn
would BE- a concession both 10 the preju-
dice against New York's domination
OF finances, and o recognition OF the
geographical situation. But the Presi-
dent and others who believe the ultI-
bank, are also convinced that there is
no use trying to secure IL now.
Country Prejudiced.
The country is still too strongly rreju-
diced against the central bank idea.
though study OF the experience Of other
countries with the system is declared TO
have greatly ameliorated this oppos.-
ton. In fact, the central bank plan
is making more apparent progress than
any other That IL will be the final
solution, to be reached perhaps twenty
five years hence, and perhaps much
sooner, the President is said TO believe
most firmly.
As 10 the Aldrlch measure for present
purposes it is stated that the President
inclines 10 think 10 the best that can
be had. He IS expected 10 throw his
influence finally for IL. and this has

Falling Off in Registered Votes.

With one or two small places to
hear from, the total names on the
great register this year foots up abont
300. 1t may reach IS or 20 names
over those figures. This is about
500 short of the voters enrolled two
years ago-a tremendous shrinkage.
Of course the county has not lost
either in population or qualified
voters anything like that numb ber.
The shortage is attributed to two
things. First, the falling off In
naturalization. This year not more
than 20 or 30 aliens have been
naturaliZed, whereas formerly it was
customary between two and three
hundred to get on the register pre-
ceding a national election. il he aliens
are here in as great force as ever, but
most of them are unable to meet the
requirements of being able to read
and write the English language.
The other initiating fact is apathy
of voters. There has been no organic
ed effort to arouse interest in regis
tration. The registration closes be-
fore the campaign gets fairly started,
so that the local candidates have
little opportunity to get around
among their supporters to see that
they are on the register.

Fremont Boarding House Burned.

The boarding house of the Fremont
Mining Company, between Amador
City and Drytown, was totally de-
stroyed by hre on Wednesday morn
ing at I O'Clock. The boarding house
was kept by S. Dalporta, formerly of
the Kennedy boarding house. low
the fire originated no one seems to
know. At such an unsuaI hour,
there was no fire in any part of the
building. Dalporta and his family
lived at the boarding house, which
was separate building, distant fifty
feet or more from the sleeping house.
The fire was confined to the board
ing house, which was a total loss,
with nearly all its contents of furui-
ture. 1t was large frame building,
and the loss of. the building and
furniture is estimated at $1,000.
The company will proceed to re-
place the building at once; indeed
steps have already been started in
that direction. There was some in
surance on the boarding house, but
what amount we have not learned.
