Feeding School Children.
From the Boston Transcript

The passage by the state senate of the
bill authorizing cities and towns to pro-
vide food and clothing to needy schoo
children is carrying paternalism to a
greater extreme than has previously beer
found possible in this state and the
house should show itself the conserva-
tive branch by defeating the measure
Doubtless well fed children make more
satisfactory pupils than the indifferently
nourished. but this would be carrying the
responsibility of the state into rather
vague realm. Even for the very needy
il would he questionable policy. but the
difficulty i'm drawing the line would oper
a wide door for graft on the part OF
many able to properly clothe and feed
their own children.

 These, with individual philanthro- plsts such as Miss Helen Gould. all working constantly with one purpose, justify the statement made earlier in this article, that before the summer Is over the probabilities are that ey- cry child on the East side will have had a season of play on the ioyous. breeze-swept sands,
 In this herois battle for the lives Of the East side babies, the city is hafled by numbers. There are so many of these little ones. If the en- tire population East of the Bowery could be transported in body, or at least, moved simultaneously. to var lous seaside places, the ideal way would have been achieved in the work Of saving the babies. But, alas, there are too many of them. Because of conditions that cannot be overcome. for long time at least, the little ones are obliged to take their turn. so while the fortunate ones are reyel- Ing in the sands at Sea Breeze. or Coney Island, or Freeport, those that are left in the city awaiting their turn are piteously panting for life.
 Ice, ice, has been the frantic cry CT the East side mother during every super-heated period of the summer II 1nths. Ice is indispensable to them. The babies milk must be kept cold in the hot weather. The infants life depends upon it. Although the city unable to provide the necessary ice, there are a number of philanthropic individuals who have made it their self-imposed task to see that no East side baby dies because it's milk could not he kept cold, if they can help it. therefore, thousands of pounds of ice is distributed throughout the East side every day, free of charge. This alone has been the means of saving hundreds of little lives.
 Through constant effort, such as has been described, the death rate among infants on the East side has been materially reduced. The de- crease, even from last yeaer, is very marked.
 And the city, with it's volunteer as- sis'ants, is going to continue in this noble work of saving the babies until it will be as safe to be born on Riv- 1ngton street as on Fifth avenue.

CHARGE AMERICANS
 WITH CONSPIRACY

Seol, Korea, July 2O-In the public examination today of 123 converted Koreans, charged with plotting against the government and the life of Count Terauchi, the examining judge named about dozen American and Canadian missionaries whom the prisoners dur ing the preliminary examination had asserted were directly connected with the conspiracy, because they were connected with the schools to which the prisoners belonged or spoke to the prisoners concerning the inde- pendence of Korea.
 There is not the slightest reason to believe from the questions of the judges or from the attitude of the au- thorities that the government has any idea of formulating charges against the American missionaries. The pris- oners undoubtedly at previous hear ing implicated the missionaries, but later publicly retracted their state ments.

 to interest itself in the needs of the poor and humble let him take a walk through the East side on any of these hot midsummer days. There he will lind at various points health stations with East side mothers Hooking to them as to harbor of refuge, with sick, crying infants seeking aid and comfort from the skilled female phy- sicians whom the city has placed there. And from each one of these stations go out a corps of nurses un- der the doctors directions. visiting homes, if these seething tenements can be called homes, where there are sick babies. Like soldiers actuated by the purest patriotic motives these devoted women are at their posts day after day with their ears scientifically attuned to catch the faintest cry of help emanating from babe.
 The chief boon the city offers to the East side during the summer months, aside from the health sta tions, is the free municipal baths. These baths are scattered throushout the district, each one is supplied with a staff of attendants. The baths are carefully inspected and kept in a san- itary condition.
 The Borough of Manhattan also has free baths off Battery Park, where the older children of the East side disport themselves in manner that only can be achieved by an East side youngster. If any summer visitor to New York wishes to get an idea of how much happiness the city affords it's poor children let him make visit to any of these baths. If he isn't amply re- paid for his pains there is something the matter with his mind and heart.
 So it is not only the health but the happiness also of the East side child ren that the city aims at While New York may be regarded as hard and heartless in many respects. there is no denying that the city likes to see its children happy; the children of the poor as we'll as the rich and in this effort to afford health and amuse- ment to it's children the city is truly democratic.
 Thus far mention has only been made of what the city itself has done and is doing to make life tolerable for the unfortunate people of the East side. The noble work of the munich pality is flanked on all sides by chari- table organizations that are constant ly employed in this ameliorating work. Such institutions as the Society for the Improvement of the Condition of the Poor. Tlhis organization, over sixty years old, takes thousands of children to the sea shore every sum- mer. It has recently completed hos pital at Rockaway for crippled child ren and it maintains a resort at Sea Breeze where the mothers and their babies go in an unbroken stream the summer.
 Then there are almost numberless minor organizations. one for almost every district on the East side. that

tt\A1y sCNmnAVA VI VAOE OA AOuUs)
 New York, July 2O.-The mothers of New Yorks East side are again in the clutch of, the old terror; the ex- cessiye heat wave. Mothers with in- fants and babies facing their desper- ate second summer are living in fran tic fear. They realize full we'll that before the heat abates hundreds of lit tie lives will be snuffed out and the question is constantly before them, whose child will it be?'
 Despite the great and energetic eff forts of organized societies and per- sonal philanthropists looking to the re1ietsgt th, E.st de children ,.;er,s is noshumant power that can prevent hundredal of them. from succumbing to, this hot breath of summer. which annually gamers it's harvest of young and old. M sg%
 With the mercury doggedly hanging around loo degrees and no assurance of immediate relief the East side does indeed present a Npitiful spectacle. While thousands of children and their mothers have been taken to the sea- side.s there seems to be no diminution in the thrOngs that people the made quate park ahd breathing spaces of the East side, of mothers that sit at open windows frantically flaming their naked young and of the old who walk restlessly about, pathetically seeking shady places that often are already usurped by the younger and stronger.
 But New York has never failed to respond magnificently to the appeal coming from her suffering East side. Every year the city puts forth increas- ed efforts to alleviate the sorrows of tha; 'eein.ns section and wAl!e l: IS inevitable that many babies will die this summer that might have been saved, it is equally true that thous- andse will be saved that might have died for ...he .u ,su' .s care afforded by the city. by charitable organiza- tionss and private individuals. This work. has become so we'll systematized and has grown to, such vast propor- tions that it is, not stating more than the truth to say that every sick baby on, the East side can receive medical attention without cost and that before the summer is over every, needy child can have trip to the seashore.
 If there is one thing on which the great city of, New York is united; that binds the metropolis together as by . golden thread, it is the love of ba fbies. In New York. the baby is king. or queen, as the. case may be. To save :;ha' lives st its babies is Nex York's sfea sst 'inanisipa' entt rnrise- an enterprise amounting almost to a l civic passion.
