FIVE THOUSAND HUNGRY CHILL
DREN AT CHICAGO'S PUB
Lie SCHOOLS.
Lie SCHOOLS.

people, who have wept copiously at
the (printed) conditions of foreign
lands, to learn that school census of
Chicago showed that 5000 children
attended the public schools there,
who had gone to school daily for
months without a morsel of food.
White babies are SOLD in Chicago
for from 81 to So apiece!
Reads nice, doesn't it, for coun-
try that is sending millions of dol
lars a year to foreign countries to
care for people who could be cared
for by their own
The thinking man and woman
should realize this: under the very
liberal immigration laws of the Uni
ted States, as many of the unregen-
crate who can are coming from
other countries. The word 'sheath-
en-" isn't applicable only to the
African jungle dweller, nor the
Chinese idol worshipper, nor the Mo-
hamedan; ''by and large they have
working basis of religion which
does them very we'll; they don't let
their children go hungry, as rule,
nor do they speed so madly after the
money of their particular realm as
to make them forget to spend some
of it for family needs.
After the average immigrant
reaches this country he, she and it,
collectively, grow desperately home
sick.
The rabbit-like modes of living
thrust upon them by American ways
and methods, strengthens the long
ing for the old home, and the watch
word of the family is save
Every dollar is boarded; every
charitable institution which will give,
is impOrtuned to give, and we have
a splendid near view of the greed
which prompts neglect, just as we
read of its operation in China, India,
Japan and other countries where mis-
sion workers are so generous with
other peoples money.
If last analysis was made of the
true condition of the children of
Chicago, New York, Philadelphia
and Pittsburg, who go breakfastless
to school, it's a twenty to one shot
it would be found, first: they were
the children of foreigners; second,
their parents were employed regu-
larry at some trade or calling which
was at least sufficiently paid to pro-
vide the family with food, and, third,
that these parents were willing for
their children to be fed by the chart
tably inclined, just as they are will
ing to accept everything else that is
offered them.
If the plan of mission workers was
based on working knowledge of
conditions existing in every city in
the United States, there would be
few hungry children at public
schools, and fewer babies sold at
from S. to So apiece.

THE. GOOD, THE BAD, THE OTHERWISE,
AND A FEW LACONICS
By L.A.L.

figures are based on an average taken
for eight years.-Dr Andrew d.
White
When the taxpayers of the United
States are confronted with figures
like those, it is time they sat up and
did some thinking.
Another interesting set of figures
might also be prepared, showing the
cost of living in each of these coun-
tries named, and again the United
States would lead as highest.
For every condition there is rea-
son. We find the cost of living in
large cities constantly on the increase.
Rents, food, clothing, all are ad-
vancing, and with the population
growing denser, the cost increases,
while wages remain stationary
The criminal percentage of Italy
is not given in the above table, but it
would also show a record greatly be-
low that of the United States, and
would compare with France and Bel

The benign and beneficent govern
ments of those countries with the
low criminal records have a, and to
them, satisfactory way of shipping
their criminals to these United States

The charitable institutions, the penal
institutions, public hospitals, orphan
asylums and dispensaries of every
large city in the United States con-
tain inmates made up of three
fourths foreign and only one-fourth
of American birth and parentage.
These inmates may be traced with
little trouble to the criminal and pau
per classes of Europe, the off-sweep
of Asia and the dregs of Africa
Plan our immigration laws never
so wisely, the plans for breaking or
evading them are successfully carried
out.
we need, first, stricter enforce
ment of our immigration laws; and
for every foreigner convicted of crime
within a certain time after his ar
rival in this country, we need law
which will make it possible to send
him back to his native land.
AS long as the United States per-
mits itself to be the sink for the
dumping of the criminal and pauper
classes of foreign countries, so long
will she remain at the head of the
list when statistics are made of

ONLY REPUBLICANS
have A Vote.
Caleb Powers Wins Every Con-
tention Before Republican
COMMITTEES.

Without opposition, even on the
part of the chairman OF the committee
Of the district, Caleb Powers and his
followers got from the Republican
State Central Committee, at a meet
ing held Saturday, every concession
demanded. Although Mr.. Powers was
present at the meeting, he made his
appeal through Judge Denton of
Somerset, and Mr.. Morrow. A. T.
Siler, chairman of the Eleventh Dis
trict Congressional Committee, con-
Quoted his own defense.
Judge Denton charged that the
eleventh District Committee, of which
Mr.. Sller is the chairman was pre-
pairing to allow Democrats to vote
in the primary on September Is, which
is to decide whether Congressman Don
G. Edwards or Mr.. Powers is to be
the Republican nominee for Congress
from the district. Judge Denton fur
Their charged that the committee had
decided not TO announce the expense
of the primary until August 27, which
would be too late a day for an appeal
20 the State Centrl Committee.
What gave the Powers faction the
most concern was the rumor that "all
free-born American" citizens would be
allowed to vote in the primary. Such
a move 1t was held, would be hostile
to Powers chances of nomination.
Judge Denton further alleged that no
time of voting or polling places had
been announced by the Eleventh Dis
trict Committee, which committee, he
declared, was made UP principally of
Edwards partisars.
In defense Chairman Siler read the
call for the primary, which stated
the hours and polling places quite
distinctly. This point being settled
satisfactorily to both sides, the State
Cenral Committeeman then went into
executive session. When they came

fications of voters had been fixed

The only significant. thing about the
meeting Saturday was that Congress

tation unless Mr.. Siler was looking
cut for his interests.

Local Option Election.
However New Ballots Are Print

Chance to Vote.

son broke into the office of County
Clerk n. n. Lamar at Hawesville, and
mutilated four of the ballot books
by stamping all the ballots in ca, h
book except the first ballot, wet-that
is, took a stencil and stamped the
ballots as they would be stamped by
the voter, except that all OF them wer
voted against local option.
The four books multilated We're for
The Lewisport, Yellow Creek, Pellville
and Patterson precincts.
1t was evidently the intention of
the person who did the work to pre-
vent discovery till too late by leav-
ing the first ballot in the book I'M
touched.
Clerk Lamar discovered on Monday
that his office had been entered, but
he was unable to discover any mo-
lestation of anything in the office.
Everything was in it's place, and af-
ter looking over the office general
ly, the clerk decided that nothing had
been disturbed.
This morning the clerk sent the
books out to the precinct election Of
ficers. The mutilation of the books
was first discovered at L4wisport.

found the first ballet TO be correct,
but all the others had been stamped
wet and against local option.
The Lewisport Officers called Coun-
ty Clerk Lamar and told him that
no election could be held in that pre-
cinct, because all the ballote had been
mutilated but one.
Clerk Lamar Immediately employed
runners" for ecah voting district
and sent them to inspect the books
They found them all in good condi-
ton except the four mentioned
Clerk Lamar arrived in Owensboro
on the noon "Texas" train, and
new ballots printed for the
four precincts. They will be printed
in plenty of time for use at the cleo
ton, and the clerk says that the To-
cal option election will take place
on Thursday. June 16, as ordered by
the court, Notwithstanding the eff
fort made to prevent vote in the
four precincts named.
1t is believed that it was the inten-
ton of the guilty person to mutilate
the ballots in every voting precinct
in the county, but that he had time to
destroy those in only four precincts,
when he was forced to leave the
courthouse before daylight TO prevent
detection.
1t is claimed by the drys that the
four precincts will give big dry ma
jorities, and as the person who de-
stroyed the ballots did not have time
to destroy them for the entire county
he confined his work to those which
were expected to give the heaviest
dry majorities.
There are nine voting precincts in
Hancock county, and the five in which
the ballots were not tempered with
at Hawesville, Indian Creek, Lyonia,
Utility and Eastin.
1t is not known who committed the
deed, but reports from Hancock say
that two persons are under suspicion
