REPORT OF CONFERENCE

Washington, Feb. 15.-The president
sent a special message to congress
transmitting the report of the confer

Presidents Message.
On Jan. 1926, 1903. there assembled in
this city, on my invitation, a conference
on the care of dependent children. To
this conference there came from nearly
every state in the Union men and wo-
men actively engaged in the care of de-
pendent children, and they represented all
the leading religious bodies.
The subject considered is one OF high
Importance TO the well-being of the ma
ton The census bureau reported in 1904
that there were in OrPhanages and chill
drens homes about 5000 dependent chill
dren. There are probably 5000 more (the
precise number never having been ascer-
tained) In private homes. either on board
or in adopted homes provided by the
generosity of foster parents. In addition
TO these there were 25,000 children in in
situations for juvenile delinquents.
Each of these children represents either
a potential addition to the productive
capacity and the enlightened citizenship
from neglect. a potential addition to the
destructive forces of the community The
ranks of criminals ana other enemies of
society are recruited in an altogether IN
due proportion from children bereft OF
their natural homes and left without suf-
ficieHt care.

LEGISLATION for the District.

Congress took step in the direction of

with authority, among other things to
place children in family homes That
board has MADE conmendable progress
and its work should be strengthened and
extended.
L recommend legislation for the District
of Columbia in accordance with the fifth,
sixth. seventh and eighth sections of the
conclusions of the conference. as follows
/. That the approval of the board OF
charities be required for the ircorpora-
ton of child-caring agencies. as well as
amendments Of the charter of any benevo-
lent corporation which includes chld-car-
ing work, and that other than duly in
corporated agencies be forbidden to en-
gage in the care of needy children. This
legislation is needed in order to insure
the fitness and responsibility of those who
propose to undertake the care of helpless
children. Such laws have long been In
satisfactory operation in several of the
larger states of the Union.
.. That the board of charities. thrdugn
its Ouly authorized agents, shall inspect
the work Of all agencies which care for

interests of the child who Is not only an
orphan but penniless ought to be no less
sacred than those of the more fortunate
orphan who inheTits property. IL the pro-
lection of the government is necessary In
the one case IL Is even more nee sssary in
the other. IL we are to require that only
incorporated institutions shall be allowed
to engage In this responsible work. 1t is
necessary to provide for public inspection
lest the state should become the uncon-
sciOus partner of those who either from
ignorance or fnefficiency are unsuited to
deal with the problem.

CUSTER DECREE
STILL STANDS
WaterS-PierCe Oil Co. Pays Its
Fine, but More Remains
to Be Done.
STATES ATTORNEY ACTS
SUPREME COURT ASKED TO
EJECT OUTFIT FROM STATE.

Jefferson City Mo- Feb. i5.-On the
grounds that the waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany of Missouri has not complied with
the custer decree of the supreme court
OF the state in an answer filed today, At
torney General Major this afternoon filed
with the court a suggestion that the GUST
er be made effective against the concern.
This course was agreed upon after con-
ference between the attorney general,
Governor Hadley and former Assistant At
tOrnsy General John Kennish. The action
Of the attorney general will be based on
the fact that the company has not fur
nished satisfactory evidence that 1t has
severed relations with the Standard Oil
company.
Payment of the fine was made by the
tender of a certified check for $4,000. The
acceptance is silent so far as showing
reorganization independent of the Stand
ard Oil company is concerned, and there
is no showing that the New Jersey cor
poTation does not still own 50 per cent
of the Waters-PieTce stock
viii Keep the Money.
THE action of the Waters-Pierce Oil
company this morning does not comply
with the decree of tie court except as
to the fine" the attorney general said Il
shall ask the court to enforce the full
penalty of its former decree and show
wherein the company has failed to COM
ply with the courts ORDER,
But you viii keep the money! some
one suggested
I have not seen the check, but under
stand it has been paid. That was the fine,
of course, to be paid whether the COM
pany is busted or not. There is nothing
for the state to do but to show that the
courts order has been ignored in part
and let the court act accordingly"
Governor Hadley said: The company
has only partly complied with the courts
order when it paid in the money"
when does the Standard Oil company
of Indiana come in nOw?''
1T must wait until the court passes
upon its proposition. I should not be sur
prissd if the court would give US a field
day for both companies and have it out
all at once"
View of the Company.
Judge H. S. Priest, attorney for the Wa
ters- Pierce Oil company, said:
1--WE believe we have complied with the
order of the court and now are submitting
to its orders"
Speaking of the proposition made by the |
Standard Oil company OF Indiana to let |
ness of q new company to be organized /
10 do business in Missouri, Judge Priest |
said: We are not parties to IT, We prom |
sed not to go into any combination of |

which they had reached These constitute
a wise. constructive and progressive pro-
gram of child-caring work. If given full
effect by the proper agencies, existing
methods and practices in almost every
community would be profoundly and adj
vantageously modified.
Mere significant even than the contents
of the declarations is the fact that they
were adopted without dissenting vote and
with every demonstration of hearty ap-
prevail on the part OF all present. They
constitute a standard of accepted opinion
by which each community should meas
DDS and to which each community should
seek to conform It's legislation and its
practice.
The Keynote.
The keynote of the cor ference was ex-
pressed in these words:
Home life is the highest and finest
product of civilization Children should
not be deprived of it except for urgent
and compelling reasons"
Surely poverty alone should not disrupt
the home. Parents of good character suf-
fering from temporary misfortune, and,
above all, deserving mothers fairly well
able to work, but deprived of the sup
port of the normal breadwinner. should
be given such aid as may be necessary
TO enable them TO maintain suitable homes
for the rearing of their children The
widowed or deserted mother. If good
woman, willing to work and to do her
best. should ordinarily be helped in such
fashion as will enable her to bring up
home. Children from unfit homes. and
children who have no homes. who must
be cared for by charitable agencies
should, so far as practicable, be cared for
in families.
Conclusions Reached.
I transmit here with for your infor-
nation copy of the conclusions reached
by the conference. of which the follow
ing is a brief summary:
Il. Home Care-Children of worthy par
ents or deserving mothers should. as a
rule, be kept with their parents at home.
80. Preventive Work-The effort should
be made to eradicate causes of depen-
dency, such as disease and accident. and
to substitute compensation and insurance
for relief,

lected children. if normal, should be cared

as far as possible.
IS. Incorporation-Agenc caring for
dependent children should be incorporated,
on approval of a suitable state board.
Sc. State Inspection-The state should
inspect the work of ali agencies which
care for dependent children.
=. Inspection of Educati Work
Educational work of institutions and
should be supervised by state educational
authorities
IS. Facts and Records-Complete his
tories of dependent children and their
parents, based upon personal investiga-
ton and supervision. should be recorded
for guidance Of child-caTing agencies.
80 Physical Care-Every needy child
should receive the best medical and sur
gical attention. and be instructed in health
and hygiene.

FRANCHISES UP AGAIN

The people of Caldwell were some
what wrought up prior to the last city
election for fear that the Gowen ad-
ministration, If elected, would be liber-
al in issuing franchises. 1t seems that
the subject of franchises is now occu-
plying some of the attention of our
aldermen. We understand that the
Caldwell Power Co., is seeking a new
franchise. Under the provisions of it's
present franchise the city may at its
option at the end Of each life year period
purchase the Caldwell Power plant The
company now wants a new franchise
with that clause eliminated. In con-
sideration of this courtesy it will
furnish the city with cheaper lights,
even coming down to almost the price
charged neighboring towns by the
local companies.
The Tribune is not prepared to state
that the council should not change the
present franchise. We can say that
the people may not approve of doing
1t. The people still have some idea of
owning their own lighting plant some
day. They have an idea that they may
want to take over the Caldwell Power
company's plant. This institution is
thought to charge all the traffic will
bear and the people are uneasy.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1909-09-18

Many others are in the same eondi-
ton.
The Tribune thinks that to the peo-
pie Of Caldwell, it is matter of in
difference whether Idaho is prohibit
ton or not. We wanted the prohibit
ton Of the sale Of liquor here We
have it. Of course we would like
other counties to adopt prohibition,
because it would be better for them.
If they think different we are willing
to let them take their poison accord
ing to their taste. AS a business
proposition Caldwell is wiling to take
a chance in the dry column.
