Must Have Help at Once

The family in the Seventh ward to
which reference was made last week in
the Leader is in a deplorable condition
and need food, raiment and shoes, and to
add to their misery they have been no
titled by the agent of the owner of the
shanty they occupy to vacate the same
March 1st next. There are four children,
one year and half old, one four, one
six and one eight, all of whom are in
want of shoes and clothing. The father,
who has good reputation for industry
and sohriety. is incapacitated for labor
owing to an accident which befell him
last summer. The christian people, we
are confident, will not permit this family
to suffer for the bare necessities of life.
The charitably inclined can learn the
name and location of the family by call
ing at the Leader office, where contribu-
tions can be left, which will be sent TO
the family promptly.

Innocent Man Released

Tom Burns, convicted at Chippewa
Falls last April of robbery of the
bank of Holcombe on November z5,
1908, and sentenced to ten years, has
been proved innocent and was on
Tuesday ordered released from Wau-
pun penitentiary, according to an an
nouncement by the state board of con-
troll. Burns was in.-iail IN ct. Paul on
a minor charge at the time the rob
berry was committed and a perfect
alibi was established in the investiga-
ton made by the board of control
Before making the recommendation
of release the board of control made
affidavits from the authorities and
from former prisoners at st. Paul. The
exact time down to the minute of
Burns release was found on the Jail
records. The warden said there
could possibly be no mistake, as pris-
oners were never released ahead Of
time without record being made of
it.
Burns served in the ST. Paul jail
from November 10 to 25, 1908. In
his story to Warden Towne, Burns
claimed that he told his attorney, ap-
pointed by Judge Vinje to defend him,
of the circumstances of the st. Paul
alibi, but the latter gave it no cred
ence. He was arrested with two 9th
er men whose presence at HOlcOmbe
was sworn to.

was issued by Gov. Davidson on Tues

SupDldntinq the Parents

The Los Angeles News prints the fol-
lowing on regulatiye demands being at
tempted in many ways, relative to the
health ana education of children by
other than their parents:
"An evening paper says that Mime
sofa is cOnygnt to the idea that teach
ers of the public schools shall have the
right to decide what pupils may enter
the university.
This is twin brother to the idea which
is being spread by Jbe doctors Of the
medical trust that they shall have the
legal right to decide what children are
fit physically to attend the schools and
what pupils are fit to enter college.
"And there you are again, Mr.. Citizen
and Common PeOple.-YOu are merely
growing children to be taken charge of
by a profession Of teachers and pro-
fessiOn of doctors. Education is becOm-
ing compulsory and you are to have no
say as to books, methods, times, places,
or the institutions they shall attend.
Higher education is to be privilege ac-
corded the selected few.
"You are to have no say as to the ply
sical care and condition of your children.
They are to be vaccinated, inocu!ated,
anti-tOXined, Pasteurlzed, steriliZed, dis
infected and operated upon for defective
eyes, ears, noses, 'vermifuge' appendices.
brains, etc, etc. Portions Of their brains
are TO be removed to cure hereditary evil
tendencies and they are even to be emas-
cuiated and otherwise carved, cut AMI
mutilated for life at the will and the
say Of a medical board or medical in
spectOr.
This whole tendency has become
alarming and is in some respects becOm-
ing Infamous. Ii it continues, fifty

origin If Valentine Day

st. Valentine is emphatically the pa
tron saint of lovers, and as such has re-
ceived the 0blatiOn of centuries. He was
priest of Rome, and was martyred by
first being beaten cruelty with a club
and then beheaded, during the reign of
Claudius III, ia the city of Rome, about
the year 270.
The curious Observances which are
hallOwed by the memory of st. Valentine
began early in the third century, when
he became identified with this great fes-
tival and elected its patron saint be-
cause of his power in mitigating the
quarrels of young people and making
their love affairs run smoothly.
After he had met his tragic fate, the
young people mourned him and met
secretly each year to pay homage to his
memory On these occasions they pre-
sented each other with little love tokens
which they called ST. Valentines, and
from this custom February IA has reach
ed its present popularity and general OBJ
servance, thus making the anniversary y
of tragic death day when love de-
mands special offering, and fancy is
free to play in comedy and caricature.
1t is loves triumphant holiday, when
Cupid, the little god of love, reigns SUI
preme, and is busy sowing his mische-
vious darts, while ST. Valentine holds
the winning cards.
