Supervision Of Dependents
State Charities Board Makes Re0or Work Done Past
Year for Unfortunate Children of State

Indianapolis, Jan. 16.-The follow
ing concerning the supervision of de-
pendent children is contained in the
report submitted to the legislature by
the state board of charities:
Important Activity.
One of the most important activities
of the state is it's work for unfortun-
ate children. In this it seeks to turn
them from dependence into lives OF in
dependence. Some estimate can be
made of the value of this work in
terms of dollars and cents. Who can
estimate its value in the saving of
lives, in making good men and women
valuable assets to the state?
The board Of state charities employs
four agents, whose duties it is to in.
spect orphans homes, visit children
who have been placed in family homes,
confer with public officials and others
interested in the work for dependent
children, and in general supervise all
that's done for this class of the states
wards.
The work is far more than can be &C
complished by SO small force. There
are forty orphans homes to be in
spected there are officials who must
be conferred with in each of the nine
ty-two counties; there are 1893 de-
pendent children in local institutions
and 300 in family homes, total of
4,673, whose welfare demands fire.
quent visits. Working as steadily and
as faithfully as they do. the agents are
able to accomplish each year but a
small part of what should be done. In
this connection single years record
of the agents work may be found in

ON GETTING TOGETHER.

A Chicago financial expert was call
ed in recently by the business men of
Baltimore to diagnose the conditions
which had kept business at Baltimore
at a comparative standstill In that
town for the past ten years. He replied
by parable. He said: "A young farm
er and owner of a prosperous country
store came In to see me this fall in
Chicago. He said When 1 come to
town l want to look around before

at one place. I buy one thing at one
place and another at another. "Now
that is what is going on all over the
country whether in the wholesale or
retail business, what the merchants
in any locality must not forget Is that
you must get the buyers to your town.
Don't be afraid that your competitor
will get some of the trade. He will

REFERS TO DESPLAINES RIVER
AS TYPICAL OF MONCPOLY'S
AGGRESSIVE EFFORTS-PEoPL
ARE CAUTIONED.

Washington, Jan. 16.-President
Roosevelt in a message to congress
yesterday afternoon warned the peo-
pie Of the United States that they are
threatened by monopoly far more
powerful, because in far closer touch
with their domestic and and indus
trial life, than anything known pre-
viously.
This threatened monopoly is control
of the water power of the country.
The president says that thirteen COM
panies. principally the General Elec-
trio and Westinghouse companies. con-
troll power sites with an aggregate of
1.O46,OOO horse power, or over 10 per
cent of the total now in use.
"A single generation" says the pres
ident, will see the exhaustion Of our
natural resources of oil and gas and
such rise in the price of coal AS will
make the price of electrically trans
mitted water power a controlling fac.
tor in transportation. in manufacture
ing, and in household heating and
lighting.
Still in State Control.
Our water power alone if fully de-
veloped and wisely used. is probably
sufficient for our present transporta-
ton. industrial, municipal and domes-
tic needs. Most of it is undeveloped
and is still in national or state con-
troll
President Roosevelt was moved to
these thoughts by bill which passed
the house of representatives granting
authority to William H. Standish to
Stone county, Missouri, and divert a
portion of it's waters through tunnel
into the said river again to create
electric power. He refused to sign the
bill and gave his reasons therefor.
The president says that in reality
the thirteen corporations probably
control 33 per cent of the present de.
veloped water power.

"This astonishing consolidation
says Mr.. Roosevelt has taken place
practically within the last Ave years
The movement is still in its infancy
and unless it is controlled the history
of the oil industry will be repeated in
the hydro-electric power industry with
results far more oppressive and dis
astrous for the people.
ut is true that the great bulk of oul
potential water power is yet undevel

controlled by combinations are those

Truly this is a day OF celebrations
and centennials. And now comes the
state Of Ohio with its contribution
Governor Harris has appointed a
accumulation Of I'VE men to prepare
and carry out the plans for the COM
memoration Of the victory Of Com
modore Perry on Lake Erie which took
place on the tenth of September. 1913.
Moreover the commission has reported
progress. According to the press dis
patches it is assumed that much of
this progress has been to invite the
British government to take part in
the celebration. Talk about cheek |!
But then we have the spectacle OF Eng

an accomplice in the killing OF Annis
10 only another sign OF the times.
There was no doubt that the defen-
dant had, at the point of revolver,
held up the friends of Annis and so
made the murder possible. No real
evidence seems to have been introduc-
ed by the defense-except the more
or less trifling subtrafuges which
mask the "unwritten law"
tits a serious question whether the
flimsy gauze Of the "unwritten law
can be stretched to cover the thirst
for blood of an entire family. Has the
time come when 1t is possible to go
OF and kill any man one has a grudge
against, or to aid and abet in such a
thing with no penalty save the NOM
entary Incarceration attached to it?
Il would seem so.
It was only q few weeks ago that
the New York papers in their editor
ial comment pitied the state of Ken

The Army Officers Union has pro-

ground OF its being a grand stand play
However much the union may protest
against the introduction of "scab la

that it is in terror lest the Great AM

with the rest of the fellows who have

A Temperance Measure.
Sticks proposes in his bill to make it
unlawful for licensed retail liquor
dealer to sell liquor and allow it to
be taken away from the premises. It
must be drunk right there. He will
not be permitted to sell liquor except
a drink at time and it must be
drunk on the premises.
This bill would be a drastic act for
the control of the liquor traffic and
would make many a saloon quit bust
ness. And in addition to being direct
ed at the boot-legger it is aimed also
at the old time-honored growler. If
this bill passes man cannot go to
the corner saloon with the old tin
bucket or the pitcher and get dimes
worth of beer and take it home It
would knock out the growler business
entirely.

has been arranged for next Thursday

take the crowd to Anderson, leaving
