the party participated, Neal Dow
polled 10000 votes, the largest number

leadership OF John p. st. John, who
had been a Republican Governor of

What Prohibitionists Have Done.

Pessimistic on the one side and OPP
timisric when viewed from the other.
might be called John G. Wolleys sum-
mary of what the Prohibitionists have
done. Mr. Wolley is an eloquent adj
vocate Of temperance and former
presidential candidate of the Prohibi-
ton party. He recently declared the
prohibition party movement among
the worlds 'lost causes He is some
what discouraged by the slump of
100000 in the party vote at the late
election and predicts that there viii be
no presidential candidate on the ticket
in 1916.
Regardless of the hopelessness of the
cause for which Prohibitionists have
fought, however, it is evident tina.
their work has not been fruitless. For
the wide spread of local option and
state prohibition, the steady growth OF
temperance and the slowly lessening
influence of the saloon in politics they
may justly claim great credit. Incl
dentally it must not be forgotten that
the Prohibitionists were the original
champions of woman suffrage, which
has become an accepted doctrine il
eight great states and is steadily gain
ing momentum as a national issue
| Whether, as Mr.. Woolley believes, tbs
cause is "a forlorn hope, its leaders o
the past &c years have probably
achieved indirectly, more than tia
leaders OF some so called successful
political parties.
The Prohibitlonists came back az
ter their rupture N 1896, when thei
vote fell to 10000 and in the three fol

In the Name Of Charity.

Among the relics, of barbarism ex-
istent in our present affairs handed
down to us in our boosted enlighten-
ment, is one of the worst features of
the days OF slavery. And it is found
under the name of charity Indeed it
is charity. but the necessity for it is
pitiful and the outcome of heartless
commercialism in the affairs of state
government. In a recent editorial the
Baltimore Sun said:
Twice year from the New York
founding asylums there is shipment
of babies to homes in the West. And
the supply of founding babies has
never yet been UP to the demand A
consignment Of. sixty from one ASYLUM
was sent out on Tuesday to farm
homes in Minnesota, Nebraska and
North Dakota. They are sent to peo-
pie who will adopt them. and in every
instance'ftie asylum authorities have
made a PRELIMINARY investigation of
the character and circumstances of
the foster fathers and mothers Many
of these children, it is said, will grow
up without knowing that they are not
the real offspring of the people whom
they will call father and mother
Commenting on the above, the Phila-
deiphia Telegraph said:
That would make gratifying read
ing but for one thing. Only a part
of the babies shipped out West are
foundlings. Many of them are the
babies of widows and deserted moth
ers who cannot earn enough to sup
port them. The State, which seems
not to have a cent to help such a
mother keep her children in their own
home, does not hesitate to take them
away from her andn give them to a
Western farmer. who in many proved
instances is anxious chiefly to get a
growing boy to- help him till the
soil Many of the foundlings also are
babies left in parks 'and doorways be-
cause iaheir advent in the family after
the father had died made too many
for the mother to support. So. until
we have tested the well-demonstrated
plan of paying the mother to care for
her own children, the news of car
loads of babies being shipped out West
must make us wonder how many
broken hearted mothers are left weep
ing for them back East
When the government recognized
encouraged and shared-in saloons. and
gambling hells have robbed mother
of her support and she is unable tc
keep her children from starving
CHARITY takes her babies from hel
and send them West and South-any
where, where they are wanted fol
companionship or service, and they
have gone out of her life forever. Il
is charity but God forbid that it:
necessity be suffered one moment long
er than the time in which American
realization and conscience can b.
aroused to the Horror of it.

A School for the Discontented.

There Is school for disconnected
children IN Kansas City. Missouri ac-
cording 70 information received at the
United States Bureau of Education.
The 'Lathrop Industrial School, has
been organized for the purpose of edu-
eating children over IA years of age
who have reached the fifth grade and
find the work of the regular school dis
tasteful.
The school proceeds on the theory
that in many cases the distaste of
these children for school is due to the
fact that the ordinary studies are not
| adapted to their particular needs.
Such pupils frequently appear back
ward or lazy. when in reality all they
need is different form of educational
activity. Accordingly, Lathrop school
gives them what is known as "prevo-
cational' training. Courses in bench
Woodworking. shopdrawing, pattern
making, printing. carpentry. and shop
electricity are provided for the boys:
cooking, sewing. millinery and en-
broidery for the girls Glasses in
plumbing, bricklaying. and concrete
work will be formed as soon as the
demand warrants.
The academic branches are also
| taught in this continuation school, but
they are taught in close relation to the
| Industrial subjects. Arithmetic con-
Germs the problems of the shop. Eng
lish consists of practical instruction in
necessary business forms; no attempt
is made to teach technical grammar.
Geography and history are taught
from the commercial standpoint; and
local government is an important sub
ject.
The course is three years During
the first two years the teacher directs
the choice of the pupils; but for the
lest year each boy is allowed 10 select
his work in the trade he wishes to
|
between industrial and academic
| branches.
Educators are interested in the La
throp Industrial School, not because
they believe in vocational training to
! the exclusion of the fundamental
subjects, but because schools of this
kind are designed to fill the needs of a
large class of boys and girls to whom
sufficient attention has not hitherto
been paid; the children whose tastes
and aptitudes differ from those pre-.
supposed by the usual school curricu-
lum. Work such as that done in tbs
Lathrop school promises to make val
liable citizens out of children who
might otherwise never find themselves

MR.. VANDERsILT's IL CENTS.
He Held Out for the Last Cent il;
Business.

Mr. Vanderbilt was notably eXacting
in his personal business relations-of
himself as well as of others. At. a
meeting of a certain railroads board of
directors of which he was a member
it was found that several were absent
AT 1t full board meeting each director
received so, and it was the rule that if
any absent those present shared the
total fee. That is, if but half the men,
bers were present each attending mem
Der would receive 500, and so proper
tionately. On the day of the meeting
referred to the number of absentees
made the division of the fee amount to
certain odd dollars and II IL cents.
At the. close of the meeting. as the
secretary handed each member his APP
portioned fee. he accepted the given
number of dollars and passed up the
Il 1-2 cents TO avoid bother of making
change. When the secretary came to
to Mr., Vanderbilt, however, he found
him busily counting some small com
from a purse onto the table can
change a dollar for you and VIII take
the u cents" said Mr.. Vanderbilt; then
smiled as he added, ''but I cannot man
age the half cent" And the man worth
more than sl0O,00o,000 had taken the
trouble to change dollar for the sake
of l. cents, which together with the
extra dollars, had come to him by the
default of others Had the proposed
half penny then been in circulation he
would probably have managed the
half cent"
The next day Cornelius Vanderbilt
gave half a million dollars to establish
| a charity work in New York. And II
was in a measure due to his constantly
keeping close tab on the pennies IN the
handling to make such a splendid gift
in the cause of humanity
