Neglected Children.

Even very slight intimacy with the
conditions with which the humane So
cieties are concerned in caring for neg
lected children is enough TO place these
institutions In the very front rank of
social reform agencies. Their great work
is almost wholly supported by voluntary
subscriptions. and has been dependent
upon the sympathetic support OF the
public The extensive system which has
been evolved by these inadequate means
during the thirty-hve years which meas
ure the organized life Of the movement in
the United States is a gratifying index
OF national character and benevolence.
But since It is evident that great
though this work has been. the powers
of these bodies for anything like their
utmost good are limited by lack of funds
and the uncertainty OF an inconstant rev.
enue, it would appear that it is clearly
the Office OF the State or the nation to act
fully up to its legal functions and 10
stand toward the neglected and aban-
doned little children in loco PARENTS, in

II was clearly shown. even in the
dawn OF Grecian history, under the wise
code of Lycurgus Of Sparta, what may
be done by the state in the way of
rearing and caring for children. And
however much one may deplore the Spar
tan cunning which was developed by that
system and regarded as a national viz

product of their state methods meny ad-

Lacks a Certain Courage.

From the baltimore Sun.
The one weak spot in Colonel Roose-
velfs armour appears 10 be his fear OF
unpopularity. He has been the popular
idol so long. has had such an unbroken
career OF success, that the applause OF
the multitude is as the breath OF his
nostrils. In the West he appears 10 be
insurgent. IN the East decidedly more
conservative. This tendency to take on
the color of the community is at times
confusing TO his most ardent admirers.
Even after a hundred speeches and
three months OF utterance people are
still asking. Where does Roosevelt
stand?" This is especially true Ia regard
to the tariff. and the tariff is the prin-
elpal issue IN this campaign. II is the
