An Awful Condition.

In a case in which a young girl
was involved, recently tried in Chi
cago, t1e appalling authoritative
statement was made that annually
about 5000 girls between the ages
of IS and 20 years disappear in
that city to be heard from no more.
1t is a pathetic chapter in the his
tory of our civilization, and it is,
too, an ugly commentary on our
system Of social order, our laws
and law makers and administrators
of laws. What becomes of these
girls? 1t is not a difficult question
to answer. They sin and die.
Some commit suicide, some of them
waste away in hospitals; some are
murdered and some of them shrek
and weep their lives out in insane
asylums. Good men and women
are trying to save Others from a
like fate, but it is against desper-
ate odds, for sin has been CONNER
cialized but it will be changed, for
the church is aroused.

the slums of the cities and those Of
drunken and profigate parents.
The strong arm of the state and
national government is exercised
to protect property, both personal
and real, yet, thousands of child
rem who in time are to become good
or bad citizens, receive little or no
attention. The large numb Der OF
patients in our insane asylums and
the large number, which is increas-
ing annually, in our penal institu-
tons, demonstrates that something
is radically wrong with our civiIiza-
ton and Christianity, and also, to
a great extent, with the teaching in
our schools. The insane desire
for money has commercialized
brain and morality, and it is high
time the people awoke to existing
conditions which threaten our coun-
try with destruction. Rear the
young in proper manner and il
may be averted.

No Medical Trust Wanted.

lust before h i Inauguration,
President Wilson in an address at
Hoboken in speaking OF the pro-
pcsal for a national supervision of
matters of health and sanitation,
aaid:
Most of the things you have
spoken Of are without political en-
barrassment. One that, does have
political embarrassment is the health
department project. There is
fear in many minds that we are
about to set up what has been
called a medical trust'. 1t is
very desirable to remove that idea. 4"
1t may be desirable according to
the notions of a few who are to
profit by the creation of a Medi-
cal Trust, but there is nothing
except his religious convictions
with which the average citizen SO
deeply resents governmental or any
other interference as in matters af-
fecting his health and the health OF
his family. Any sort of dictation
about what measures he shall take
TO preserve or restore health, the
average man regards as an unbear-
able outrage, especially so long as
the doctors disagree so widely and
violently among themselves, the
laity should be left the privilege of
choosing the kind of treatment In
which they have the most confld-
ence and anything which looks like
medical trust" will be deeply
resented by all sorts and conditions
of citizens.
In this connection, it might not
be amiss to call attention to the
AdSt tudt last JCol tIC SOVCA iliIiCIit
paid oft over $40, 900. 900 for the
support Of national health
bureau, over $4,000 being paid
out as salaries to physicians of a
certain school of medicine, no 9TH
er school being recognized. The
question will naturally be forced to
the lips of the public generally,
What good did it do?" Each
state has board of health to look
after contagious diseases and sani-
tation in their respective states,
which is a wise provision, and they
do not need the aid of a national
medical trust" to draw big sal
aries and interfere with the indi-
vidual rights of the citizen.

Communication.

Editor WatertOWn Leader
The article written by 2. w. Mansfield
has called forth good deal of comment
Why should not Wilson's cabinet be COM
posed partly of men from the South? Fol-
many years it has favored men from the
North. Are we not living under one
flag? Is our beloved country only a
Union in name? The South was whip
ped; is it loyal or manly to be forever
nagging them? We now have a Presi-
dent that is gentleman, christian
and scholar, and it seems to fair
minded public that any loyal citizen
will hold him in respect.

TODAY!

Twixt night and night
Let me keep bright
Today!
And let on fumes of yesterday
Nor shadow of tomorrow

I take this gift of heaven
As simple as it's given;
And if tomorrow shall be sad,
Or never comes at all, I've had
At least
Today!

Last week, an item appeared in the
Leader that 5000 WatertGwn Gas &
Electric Co.'S. IS bonds were being offered
for sale through financial concern in
Milwaukee. Instead of 5000 bonds, it
should have been $1,000 worth of the
bonds were being offered, not by the
company, but by private individual
who wished to convert the bonds into
cash for business reasons. The dollar
sign makes a great difference, which
did not appear in the item published in
the stock exchange in one of the Mil
waukee daily papers, from which the
item was taken.

Doings at Madison.

Madison, Wis.,, March 27-(SpeciaD-
The District Attorneys association Is
back of a bill introduced by Senator
Huber which seeks to provide q more
humane way of dealing with the petty
criminal. Instead OF the lower courts
sentencing person to the county Jail,
they propose parole sentence. That is
to say. person convicted of a minor
offense should not be confined but rather
put under surveilence in wholesome en-
pioyment, his earnings going towards
the support of those dependent upon HIM
or to the county.
The bill arrested the attention of the
committee on Education and Public
Welfare for half day, after which the
committee directed the friends Of the
| measure to draft new bill that would
eliminate the course features that devel-
oped during the hearing. There is am
pie demand for such measure, claim
the district attorneys but the plan they
offered encountered serious opposition.
This is another step towards making
conditions favorable FOR the reformation
of the criminal, and gives the court an
opportunity to deal out justice more
equitably. according to the seriousness
of the offence and the standing ofthe
offender.
