leadership of the Democratic party in

That twenty-siX years after Mr., Cor

tor Whyte, who in all those years had
been politically opposed to Mr.. German,
should succeed him in turn, is said to
be an incident practically unprecedent-

Although 81 yeats of age at the time
ne was appointed to succeed Mr.. Cor

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

Things Needing Attention

To The Editor Of me RCUubIicau.

To the Editor Of The Republican.
In giving to Foreign and Home Mis-
sions has one ever thought that we have
quite field for work Of this nature
right in our own town and that every
resident is in measure responsible for
the conditions that exist among the IN
fortunate Of Oakland
Have we no compulsory school law?
If not, why not?
Children are running the streets who
have never been in either the day school
or the Sabbath school, and how can we
expect from these our future law ab;d-
ing citizens" This being the case, we
are plainly negIecting our duty to God
as well as to man.
If should tell you Of a few Of the
things or show you a picture in real life
in even one Of the homes in this town
in which children are being reared to
manhood and womanhood, you would
blush with shame TO think such condi-
tons lie so near our own door.
The writer knows Of large families
crowded into one room, some without
food and scarcely enough clothing to
cover them. Have we not charity suifi-
Gent 70 assist these needy ones?- Jesus
said, "Inasmuch as We Go it unto the
least Of these, my brethren. We do il I'M
to Ne. "
It's no disgrace to be poor, but it Is
a sin to be unclean, and there islno ex-
cuse for unsanitary conditions when
soap and water may be had so cheap.
| think that if our school buildings
We're put into better sanitary conditions
diseases would not be so prevalent
every year as has been the case during
the past two or three winters.
To better these conditions, why not
have a general housekeeping time.
Let the health board. the school author
tiles and the citizens generallyiall help
clean up the town, and let our Chris
tian influence go out to help those in
need, teaching honesty, cleanliness and
Goodness. Then we need not have any
fear for the future of Oakland.

between the two men was recalled. 1T
