OF OUR KINSFOLK
II. Roswell Bates Speaks Of
Conditions of the Poor in
New York

"Our Kinsfolk," a lecture on settle
ment work by II Roswell Bates, of
New York, attracted a large audience
to the New Century Club last night.
The purpose OF the lecture was to
arouse interest in the new building. for
which the Peoples Settlement is en-
deavoring TO ra,se 100000. Mr.. Bates
spoke under the auspices of the set
Element George w. Twitniyer, super
intendent Of schools and the Rev. Dr.
II. w. Kellogg, of Grace NJ. j. Church
preceded the lecturer. in remarks on
the splendid work of the Peoples
Settlement here.
Mr.. Bates described graphically the
conditions Of the poor of New York
There are 100000 bedrooms in New
York, he said, where there is no sun
shine and but scant means Of obtain
ing water for the family supply He
cited many cases where the dining
looms are not large enough TO accom-
iuodate all the family at once Set
tlement houses were most essential to
the welfare Of the O.or of the city, Mr..
Bates said. They arc a supplement
to the home where children can be
brought toget Ter for pure association.
No one can imagine the depravity Of
the uncared 90 children OF the null
titude, schooled in every devise Of sin
before they are fourteen years old.
This is where the work of the settle
ments come into wean the children
from this hideous specter of depravity.
Some of the features IF settlements are
sewing and cooking classes, clubs and
games. They are not only for chill
dren, but for older boys and girls and
for men and women Many OF these
know nothing of self-control. There
are 10000 young men in New York
engaged in gambling every noon-houf.
The advantages Of the settlement are
apparent Docs it pay? While the
conditions in this city do not equal
those in New York. yet there is a great
deal of aid to be extended to the young

NOVEL DAMAGE SUIT.

II r HE questions of whether the New York
\ Captains of Finance" were instrumental
in causing the panic is to come before the New
Jersey courts in a suit brought by life insurance
agent for damages against one of the large COM
panes.
This agent alleges that Thomas F. Ryan, Harry
Payne Whitney and Levi P. Morton, who control
the defendant company conspired to cause the
panic for the purpose of discrediting the Roose-
vet administration AS a result of the conspir-
acy the life insurance business fell off and the
plaintiff lost his position, being deprived of max
ing living.
This suit is a novel action at law, and may shed
some light on the financial depression. The plain
tiff may summon the big men" to the witness
box, but we imagine that rather than appear in
court the magnates will settle with the agent

Editorial Opinion
JUDGE erax,s Candidacy.


Philadelphia Record.
We can hardly believe the Pittsburg
dispatch that Judge Gray declared he
was out OF politics and would remain
so. He was probably misunderstood.
He is now out of politics. and would
probably prefer TO remain on the Bencn.
He is not seeking the Presidential noni-
ination. But a Presidential nomination
Is not to be refused by any man, and
IL the Judge would refuse to allow hi 3
name 10 be used at Denver he would
have said so on the occasion of the
assembling Of the Delaware convention.
What he insisted on then was that tho
Delaware delegates should not be in
structed to support him. His letter
clearly indicated that he would appra
ciate the honor of the nomination If
the convention should choose TO give it
to him.
It will require 242 electoral votes to
elect. Sixteen States that are certainly
OF almost certainly Democratic will
give 169. That will leave 73 votes to
be obtained in doubtful States. New
York, New Jersey, Indiana and West
Virginia viii cast exactly 73 votes.
Connecticut will cast seven. The
Democrats can succeed only by carry
ing New York, New Jersey, Indiana
and either Connecticut or West Vir-
ginia. What Democra is as likely 20
carry these doubtful States as George
Gray, of Delaware? We do not ques-
ton Mr.. Bryan's popularity in In
diana, but in the other doubtful States
he would have no chance at all. The
conventions of New York, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut have gone against
him. Judge Gray could probably poll
the whole Democratic vote of those
States, and they were usually Demo
cratic until silverism split the party
We shall not believe Judge Gray would
refuse the nomination until he shall say
so over his name in writing and T.
the Denver convention can find any
man more likely to carry the doubt
ful States we should like to know who
he is.

PRESIDENT McCREA's ADVICE.

n RESIDENT McCREA of the Pennsylvania
i Railroad Company, has given an interest
ing interview concerning the business ouuooK'
and his remarks are optimistic PRESIDENT
McCrea's company has stood up against the
financial depression so we'll that he IS naturally
cheerful and it would be we'll if his cheerfulness
should spread itself among business men gener-
ally
The railroad chief reports that money is plen'
tiful and is awaiting investment No better evi-
denoe of the truth OF Mr.. McCrea's assertion is
needed than the ease with which the big loan OF
his company was loated Everywhere there is
news Of plenty of money if it could only be got
out of the strong boxes and the hanks.
The people are waiting, says Mr. McCrea, for
the return of confidence, and, of course, this inn
plies that something depends on the presidential
election. But it is hard to see why people should
be seriously disturbed over the election. Taft is
no wrecker of business and not a man that the
Republicans have mentioned for president would
enter upon a campaign for the destruction OF in
dustrv If BRYAN were elected he would be held
in check by the Republican Senate and a prob
able House. Therefore it seems that the country
ought to be fortified against business disturbance
even in the remote possibility OF the election OF
Mr. Bryan
Mr.. McCrea also believes that the depression
has taught the mass of business men and others
lesson in economy. Perhaps so, but we doubt
It, When prosperity is with us it is with us in a
rush, and people soon forget hard times" The
great mass of people, that is, working people and
those who do not earn large wages or have other
sources of income, live in the present, hoping
that the future will take care of itself. And most
of this class find that even in our so-called good
times they do not have great deal, if anything,
to stow away were they seriously inclined
towards large savings.
However, it would be we'll for them to take
Mr.. McCreas advice and try to save something,
be it ever so little, from their incomes.

Dover Delawarean.
The Episcopalians are having con-
siderable difficulty in the selection of
a Bishop for the Diocese Of Delaware.
AT the first meeting o. the convention
in Wilmington the clergymen were un-
able to agree upon a nomination though
we believe one candidate was within
one vote of the necessary two-thirds.
At the adjourned meeting held in Dover
this week two candidates were nomi-
mated by the clergy and both were re-
iected by the laity The choice now
goes over to the convention next June
While there is doubtless a feeling Of
disappointment at the delay and ap-
parent difficulty in selecting a success
sor to the late Bishop Coleman, it is,
perhaps. as we'll to make haste slow
w." The fact that the next Bishop
is likely to hold the office for many
years makes care and wise action all
the more important. The selection Of
the new official head of this church is
not only of vital concern to his own
denomination. but 1t IS a matter Of
general interest and public Importance.
We believe that the new Bishop ought
to be an able. progressive and broad
minded man.
We trust that all the delay and
trouble in selecting a Bishop may be
more than compensated for by the
wisdom Of the choice finally made.

to a peculiar degree certain qualities
that I prize in any citizen-the quality
of nerve, hardihood, of capacity to
obey, and obey like that'-clapping his
hands together-'and the capacity to
take responsibility and assume COM
mand when necessary.
Il would give nothing for the man
who cannot obey when necessary, and
cannot act on his own responsibility

sary. Both qualities are needed"
