WHAT CHARITY SHOULD DO.
T&TDsra-ire Iouruai.1

Another incident not Of what an
Associated Charities has done but "iaa'
II might do is in the mind of the
writer al this time. There is IN this
town a sturdv little fellow. boy Win

useful life. unhampered by physical de-
:orrrities or drawbacks as any one o,
any readers own kiddies. he now
possesses q physical deformity that an
operation might cure. He is still in the
tender years when ouch an operation
is possible. His own parents means
are far too slender to make SUCH an
operation possible Yet society for the
BOYS sake and for it's OWN owes that
operation TO him. AS he grows 10
manhood T. he realizes that all that ne
must suffer and bear as a result OF IL
might have been averted. the iron o.
bitterness must enter into his soul. he

LEAVING OUT THE ITEM
Davenport Democrat. !

a Bethlehem, Pa, woman recently
asked that no mention of her death be
made in the papers. and the result
%as that her request was mentioned
in 2l.744 American newspapers, and
they are still passing the item along

The incident points OUT the truth
that SO many people fail TO realize.
that the best way 70 avoid being con-
spicuous is to leave the neEspa pers

everybody else.

A HINT FOR ALTOONA.

Some time age the Milwaukee rail-
road announced that il would give
100 loads OF gravel free Cor use on
any road in Iowa designated by the
safe authorities. The offer was con-
6it!oned upon payment Of the freight.
II vas also stipulated that any par
ties or communities taking ADVANTAGE
of the same must be prepared 10
remove the gravel as soon as IL a.
rived.
This proposition looked good 20 .as

scheme into effect. II vas decided

comes directly from a member OF the

Judge Robinson says. Haley is getting
about the same as one half the other
convicts as regards cell location and
cell comfort. If the Judge is falsifying
it seems to be up to the Haleyites TO
prove it rather than for the board of
control to support its assertions with
affidavits. In short it is scarcely 70 be
expected that the board of control
shall prove that X is not lying when x
asserts what may be assumed TO be
an Official fact. Judge Robinson has
much the best of il as the matter
stands.
There has been much fuss over
Haley. Most of ii appears rather
neurasthenic. There has been hys-
terra Of assertion. Either drop it or

The facts are that the man was Civ

prison library. that he violated the
rules Of the prison and grossly abused
the trust imposed in him, and was re-

sition there gave him great opportun-
