GARDEN CLUBS.

The Forum recently referred to the
sBanttt5ing Of the city by children's
gardening. as well as the good to the
irdiyiduai., 1t is probable that some-
tnanS ef this kind will be undertaken
51is year--more extended even than
N4f was done last year. The Chron-
Rae at Spokane is trying to stir UP the
citizens there in regard to this neces-
saTy work, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing which recently appeared as
an editorial in the paper referred to:

AZ CD Friend Gons Mrnnn.

A bin has been introduced in con-
gress to provide clean money, and it
grew out of the fact that a scientist
discovered $4,000, 900 germs of various
races, colors and conditions of seryi-
tude upon q 81 bill. Thus it is that an
old friend has gone wrong, and it
seems a terrible shame. If the mi
crobes really feel in the need Of a cash
diet, they should have tackled the SO
bills and we would never have been in
the slightest danger. The only un-
healthy bill reported upon is the S1
bill, and that is about the only one
we ever come in contact with.
The 81 bill we had last SATURDAY.
must now have at least 81, Sss. 9ss mi
crobes for there was only time for one
of them to jump on us before we hand
ed it along to the meat market propri-
etor, but even 91,999,999 microbes can
stir UP considerable trouble. Let the
microbes confine themselves to the SIS
bills, which are handled by the preda-
tory rich. for the rich can better afford
to be sick than we can, Let us have
no more siczly 81 bills. The congres-
sional measure should be passed at
once.

BABY IS HEARD FROM.
Little Jewish Infant Which Secured
Home Through Child Rescue
Campaign Heard From.

North Dakota Children's Home
Finder: So many former Visitors to
the children's home inquire about lit
tie Moses, the Jewish infant offered
through the child rescue campaign
carried on by The Delineator Maga-
zine q year ago. that it is felt sure
they will. be interested in the following
excerpts from a letter received from
his foster parents. Moses now lives in
the sunny south, where winters cold
and snow do not trouble him.
Dear Friends; Within a few days
Of a year ago met you in k c. to
receive and welcome our darling boy,
and take this medium of advising
you of the happiness and blessing
which have since been our lot. / will
fail to express in commensurate words.
the real happiness and joy we have had
by taking him into our hearts, He has
grown so much and so bright and af-
fectionate that our entire family love
him dearly. He is so good, and since
our baby girl has come into the world,
IL she cries, he runs to mamma and
tells her baby sister kying!' and tries
his best to get onto the bed to give her
the bottle. He says he will not give
baby sister away, and he is always
ready to divide his candy and cake
with her. He tells daddy all about
Santa Claus. It's first 'Tanta C'aus
tome see me; Tanty C'aus bing me
wagon and horse and choo- choo train!'
We are certainly thankful to the AL
mighty for his blessings in giving us
our darling boy and girl. We desire
to give them that especial training
which shall teach them to be honor
able and upright, and to shun evil and
temptation. 1t is grand and noble
work to seek the homeless little ones
and to find sheltering places and some
one to care for and love them. We
wish you all the joys and good wishes
for Christmas and hope that all your
little ones viii find welcome and love
in a good home

Courts are instituted to interpret ;:nd
apply the laws and to determine dis
putes under them. Their authority
must be accepted as final or there will
be no end to controversies and no or
derly government by law. 1t ls fur
them to determine the meaning of
statutes as they are enacted aud their
conformity to fundamental law as EN-
bodied in constitutions. Statutes and
constitutions may be changed and
courts may be reconstructed, but It
should be by some established pro-
cedure and not by direct appeal to the
unorganized mass.
1t has lately been said that the at
titude Of the people toward the courts
should be zone Of appreciation and re-
spect but not of servility.' "Servil-
ity'' is not an appropriate term for
their attitude toward any branch of
government. The government being
instituted and having it's prescribed
functions the attitude should be one of
submission, obedience and fidelity.
The judicial power, we are told, like
any other power, "can be abused" No
doubt, but who is to be the Judge? Z?
There must be some final authority
somewhere and it cannot be multitudi-
nous and tumultuous without anar-
chy. Decisions of judges may be crit
icised and discussed with view to i'm
proving adjudication, but to denounce
and condemn them as an abuse of
power and to charge them with "reck-
lessness' can lead to no good result.

Dear Sir: The editor Of this maga-

light the remarkably clever story sub
mitted by you eight months ago. and
the English language, which is weak
at its best, utterly fails to express his
satisfaction. 1t is a masterpiece of
pungent literature, and there is no
reason why you should not gain a ma
tional reputation in short order if you
keep up that sort Of work. He wishes
to thank YOU for your consideration in
allowing him to have the first glimpse
OF the story. 1t has improved his
moral mental, physical and religious
tone. Robert w. Chambers, at his best
never turned out a story like that.
Please accept our profoundest thanks
for submitting the same. Very sin
,cerely yours, The Editor"
"P. S.-We regret to state that we
cannot accept your story for publi-
cation and return the same herewith.
1t does not precisely fit our needs, but
1t is great story nevertheless. Re-
lection does not necessarily indicate
lack of merit"

MODERN IDEAS.

The poorhouse has long been a
scarecrow which has driven many
persons to suicide and others to
crime. Referring to this institution
The Nashville Tennessean recently
said:
Charity sflogid be unostentatious
and should be administered in such a
manner that it does not destroy the
self-respect of its objects.
The tendency of the age is away
from institutions IN which INDECENT
persons are huddied together and made
to feel the humiliation of being public
charges.
Kansas has done away with poor
houses entirely in many of its coun-
ties and has turned its poorfarms into
agricultural experiment stations.
This action is possible because it
cares for all it's insane in hospitals
and has institutions in which other de-
fectives ordinarily found in almhouses
can be cared for.
A poorhouse is no place for epiIep-
tics, for idiots, for alcoholics and 9TH
er unfortunates. Much less is it a
place for persons whose only Short
coming is that they are poor.
VIII Carleton's Over the Hills to
the Poorhouse has wrung tears from
millions and done much to foster sem
timent against poorhouses
Why should an aged man or women
Of refinement and decency be showed
into an institution with consumptives,
imbeciles and alcoholics?
Such action is nothing short of bar
barism.
In passing a law which makes 1t
possible for counties to maintain their
poor outside a poorhouse Illinois has
taken q humane step.
The money spent for the maintaining
of poor persons In poorhouses should
be used everywhere in supporting such
persons outside of poorfarms.
Why brand an unfortunate man OF
woman simply because he or she hap
pens to be an INDECENT?
Cue visit to a poorhouse as ordi-
nariiy conducted will convince any
gEt-thinking person that such an
institution is a relic of savagery.
community is duty7bo to sup
port its poor. But every state should
have an institution for the care oi
charges who have some serious
trouble, and the counties should main
tain their worthy poor in a manner
which will not submit them to indig-
mites and extreme humiliation.
Why throw an unfortunate family
into poorhouse when the money used
for its support there could be used
more adyantageously in keeping the
family together in a home outside the
institution7
