A large percentage of these solicit
tors are downright frauds. The
Charity Organization Society recently
undertook an extended investigation
of the subject and it reported that IL
found that as a class these men are
unmitigated frauds. who, armed with
the forged endorsements OF foreign
ecclesiastics and with the letters OF
unwary local officials and minister's,
make a business OF soliciting for al
legged missions and orphan asylums

Anybody can start charity. The
"aims and objects" of the society are
always worthy, There is never any
difficulty in getting a list Of patrons
and patronesses whose names are
calculated to inspire confidence. And
it would appear from recent disclo-
sures that 1t is easy TO solicit funds.
But how much Is really known OF the
work actually done by the society or
in what spirit tho "Hims and objects
are really carried out7
William e. George, the originator
and founder Of the George Junior
Republic, has been removed from con-
troll or personal relations with the
little men and women under bis
charge. For many months the affairs
OF this splendidly conceived charity
have been under investigation and
the shocking disclosures are imprint
able. So little did the worthy spon"
sors of the Junior Republic know OF
this man George and the real conduct
OF things within the society that
these wretched conditions have boon
going on for years unsupported. Whnt
did the guaranty Of their names
amount to?
Everybody has heard Of the Inter
national Sunshine Society. This or
gani3atlon came into existence In
1895 "to scatter deeds Of kindness"
It's activities have been so broadened
In recent years that in addition 10
homes for blind babies and children,
which 1t runs, it also conducts num-
ber Of sanatoriums or boarding
houses.
But the emotional appeal IL makes
for contributions Is based almost ex-
olusively on its ."blind baby work.
Even moyIng.pictures Of blind
babies" have been used In this emo
tional campaign. How effective the
appeal is may be Judged from the
fact that the society succeeded in
collecting upward Of $4,000 during
the single year ending May 1st, 1913.
Two of the sanatoriums conducted
by this society are the Bensonhurst
Sanatorium for convnlescents at

sources Of the charitably inclined
should not be called upon to main.

The affairs Of the Sunshine Society
have recently been investigated by a
special committee Of the State Board
of Charities. appointed to Investigate
its financial operations. Last year,
through the efforts Of It's energetic
president-general, Mrs. Cynthia West
over Alden, the State Legislature ap-
propriated $4,000 for the organiza.
tion. II was claimed that under It's
charter the international Sunshine
Society was not entitled to this ap'
preparation.
What the Charity Organization So
ciety thinks OF the International Sun
shine Society appears from n state
ment recently issued by IT in which
1t says, in part:
"The fundamental weakness of the
Sunshine Society lies In its misuse
and abuse Of sentiment. 1t was not
founded to deal with definite social
problem. 1t was founded to encour-
age its members TO deeds of kindness.
The fact was overlooked that kind
deeds. IL improperly directed and If
unlntelllgently done, though prompt
ed by good Intentions. really are not
kind In effect. The socIety's policy
brought II money, In finding ways
to spend this money 1t became III
vOlved In enterprises which were
not charitable"
An excellent example OF the man
ner In which prominent names are
used to procure contributions to en-
terprises which may or may not be
worthy Is afforded by the history of
the William Mckinley Memorial Hos
pital League, organized some five
years ago
The object of this league ostensi-
bly, was TO erect S150,000 hospital

President. In some way or other
those back of the project succeeded
in getting President Taft to commend
it, and upon the strength Of his ap
proval there was no difficulty in Sc
curing other prominent persons t(
lend their names to it.
AS a result the promoters OF the
project sent out broadcast appeals
upon letter~heads, upon which were
printed the names OF an alleged
Council of One Hundred" This list
Of names included those Of Hon. Jud-
son Harmon, Governor Of Ohio; Hon.
Woodrow Wilson, then Governor OF
New Jersey; Hon, II, G. Aldrich,
Governor of Nebraska. and twenty-six
other Governors. Congressman Nicho-
dan, Rev. Joseph Silverman and
various other Senators, college presi-
dents, ministers and prominent in
diylduals in all lines of endeavor.
No more representative list than
this could possibly have been pre-
pared, although this Council Of "One
Hundred" as listed on the letter-head
In question. numbers only sixty.
Upon the strength Of this formi.
dable list Of names. some $4,000
individuals enrolled as members Of
the league and upward Of $4,000 was
collected. What has become Of this
money? Mr., Taft doesn't know,
Woodrow Wilson couldn't tell and no
body else In the splendid list Of
governors. college presidents and
clergymen can say. This illustrates
again how cheerfully people OF
prominence and reputation lend their
names to charity schemes which they
know nothing about.
People who are asked 20 give char
ity are frequently influenced by the
clerical or semiclerical garb worn
by the solicitor.
There are a number Of mission
aries" who go about attired in this
manner and raise hundreds of thous-
ands Of dollars collectively every
year for orphan asylums in Turkey
or other Oriental charities, Impetus
was given to this kind OF appeal as
q result Of the Turkisb-Bulgnrian
war, which left many victims on
both sides.
