They Want a Change.

The house and senate at Springfield

the house and senate at Washington,
although there is a large republican
majority i'm all bodies In Washington
the house would be with the executive
were it not for the domineering influ-
ence of Speaker Cannon. The senate
Ms undeniably at outs with the presi-
dent. At Springfield the house is war
ring against the governor and the SEN
ate is with him. They are at, cross
purposes on all matters of legislation,
and fhe sentiment that has been stir
red up as result Is decidedly in ia
vor of a change democratic lower
house of congress is probable and a
democratic governor at Springfield is
more than possible. Yet neither could
do much without democratic presi-
dent at Washington and a democratic
house at Springfield.
These conditions are possible, al
though the last gerrymander of the
Legislative. districts in Illinois makes
the latter hard task for democratic

ABOUT TAG DAY

Dr. Frederick Howard Wines, for
20 years secretary of the Illinois Board
OF Public Charities. is one of the high
est authorities on the so-called depen-
dent classes and has made a long and
careful study. of the best methods for
relieving their condition. His conclu-
sions, reached after much travel and
personal investigation in this country
and Europe. are that the indiscrim-
iEate giving of charity is an encour-
&Sement TO pauperism and that the on
~ successful method of lettering the
conditions CT those honestly deserving
is through the agency of some proper
~ organized central body
Two physicians caring for TIE same
patient naturally consult with each
other. Two attorneys engaged on the
same side of a suit confer together
Two women DESTROYS of assisting the
needy might waste their efforts or
render double aid unnecessarily unless
they also united in common purpose
How much greater then is the danger
OF mlSdlfected energies When all the
contributors to local charities work
without system or understanding?
What is needed is system and intel
| ligently distributed aid. No one un-
observing should be helped, and the
deserving should be helped only to the
extent of his greatest needs. Too
much charity promotes dependence.
Make your contributions to the
ASSOCIATED Charities, Saturday, May &c,
with the positive knowledge that your
money will be wisely spent. not to re-
lieve present necessities alone but
with the higher purpose of making
the recipient self supporting in the
| future
