HOMER FOLKS.
By HOMER FOLKS,

Secretary State Charities Aid Association.
EFT is forty years since the giving OF stat,
funds to private charitable organizations,
eycept those engaged in the education of the
hind, deaf and dumb was stopped by constitu-
tiontl amendment Just prior to the adoption
Of this prohibtory amendment in 1872 the sub
sides totalled 100000. There is little likeli-
hood that this policy will be reversed in the re-
revision Of the constitution, unless it be to ex-
tend the prohibition to private institutions for
the blind. and the deaf and dumb. These types
of detectives are not increasing in numbers. 1t
NAV be that the state itself will think 1t adyisa-
bio 10 take over the care of the deaf and dumb.
The amendment was silent as to local appro-
priations to eleemosynary institutions. The re-
cDients OF the states aid were then, as now,
aided bv local governments When their income
from public sources was reduced by the state en-
actment, the condition OF their finances was an
effective argument for increased grants from
home treasures 1t was shown at the constItu-
tional convention of 1894 that these local appro-
pr.ations from cities. counties and towns TO pri-
vate charitable institutions had reached enor-
nous proportions This was particularly true
of orphan asyums. These promised to be greater
for they were growing at a rate far In excess OF
the increase in the population Of the state. The
convention, while recognizing that this was an
evil which demanded remedy, did not find one
Instead it passed the problem on 10 the Stat.
Board of Charities.
Il introduced into the constitution, however,
a provision prohibiting tho Legislature from
forcing upon local authorities the making OF ap-
preparations for such purposes but permitting
II to authorize them.

CONCURRENT INITIATIVE WOULD NOT
STRENGTHEN GOVERNOR Sufficiently.

In other matters the initiative may well rest
equally with the Governor and the Legislature
There are obvious reasons why the administra-
ton measures should have precedence over all
other business in both houses. But concur
rent initiative, even coupled with right to prior
Consideration, would not strengthen the hands
OF the Governor sufficiently. The committees
may refuse TO report his bills, the Legislature
may ineontinently reject them. 1t happened so

 Governor Clark of Iowa telegra phed that he wanted to know how long the trip will take; Governor Gates of Yer mont wants furthur particulars; Gov ernor Williams of Oklahoma regretted that he couldn't go, and Governors Ferris of Michigan and Stuart of Vir- ginia wired that they would be unable to make the trip.

 we are not prepared to announce that part of the plan now,' said MT. Lochner.
 DO you intend to round up persons in private life and have them work on the leaders of the warning nations?
 Well probably do that said MT. Ford. That is the only way to get at the governments. For what is the gov ernment of any nation but the peo- p1e?"
 "What makes you so confident that you will succees?"
 we have been receiving lnforma- ton of high encouragement from abroad for long time,' said MT Lochner. Anyway, the history of such movements pressage success.
 "In what instances?"
 "Take the case of the Women's Peace commission, of which Jane Ad- dams was a member. Their report said that the people of the involved nations favored a termination of the war;
 "Your telegram of invitation speaks of cables sent to the leading men and women in Europe asking them to 1o'n vou en route. Will you give us the names?

 Nobody need worry about that MT. Lochner said. MT. Ford will see that every person who goes over Will he brought. back" whereupon MT. Ford smiled.
 An elderly man, who refused to give bis name rose and told how MT. Ford had encouraged him in prohibition campaign, and that it was by employ ing methods suggested by the auto mobile man that prohibition is certain of winning in the place the elderly man comes from.
 "Mr Ford is after the efficiency l bug" said the elderly man. Tn the opinion of MT. Lochner ! o,ite enough had been said for the d.v so he informed MT. Ford that d,nner had been waiting for some time, Furthermore, MT. Ford had to discuss something with a tall man who stood anxiously in the doorway. It onnears that in addition to his peace program business of another sort has taken MT. Fords time here.

Ford left East Orange yesterday afternoon he made for the :Jersev City terminal of the Lehigh 1 Valley railroad to meet former Presi- dent Taft, due from Rochester. But, when MT. Taft telephoned that the train was two hours late in getting into Rochester. MT. Ford decided to go on to Baltimore.
 Reporters met the former president What do you think of the Ford plan?'' he was asked.
 MT. Taft laughed.
 "Shall we use that in our descrip- ton of how you answered the ques- tion?" a reporter said to him.
 MT. Taft laughed again, but would say nothing.
 You are obviously in very goot health" it was remarked.
 "Wel,' MT. Taft said, with smile I'm in a respectable business now"
 He went to the Grand Central Ter. minal to board train for Nev Haven. MT. Lochner greeted hin there and asked him to see MT. Fort in the Biltmore, but MT. Taft said tha would be impossible then because tn train was to leave few minutes later He promised to see MT. Ford in tn near future.

 ''That states the plan.''
 But it doesnt,' he was told "Well,' said MT. Lochner, wait un- til Mr. Ford returns this evening; he may have additional matter for you.'
 Didn't Want to Talk.
 When Mir. Ford got back to town he was inclined not to talk, explaining that the publicity end of the project had been placed in MT. Lochner's S hands At length, with Mr. Ford's au- thorization, Mr. Lochner announced that 115 invitations had been tele- graphed; that MT. Bryan had been asked to go; that Theodore Roosevelt had not and that several acceptances had been received.
 Helen Keller, Frederick c. Howe, commissioner of immigration, and Mrs. Howe are among those who have accepted" MT. Lochner said. 'Others are Mrs. Alice Park, suffrage worker, of Palo Alto, Cal.,; Mrs. Anna Garland Spencer, instructor in ethical culture in the Union Theological seminary at Meadville, Penn; the Rev.

New York, Nov. 26.-William H. Taft and William Jennings Bryan are ! now besought by Henry Ford to join l his floating Hague Tribunal, whose purpose it is to get the hands of neu- tral nations together and, in the words of the Detroit pacifist, "get those boys out of the trenches by Christmas and end the European war
 While Mir. Ford was in East Orange yesterday, trying vainly to get the ear of Thomas A. Edison, during a house party, representatives of the auto . mobile maker were busy sending out telegraphic invitations to all the Gov ernors and other persons prominent in public life, and in endeaVOriDg to persuade Mr. Taft, as he fitted from railroad station to railroad station, to take passage aboard the Oscar II, of the ndinavian-American Line, which MT. Ford has chartered for the peace voyage, beginning December 4.
 On Wednesday afternoon it was stated that the detail of the plan swould probably be given out yester- day. So, when reporters went to MT. Ford's peace headquarters in the Ho- tel BiltmOre yesterday afternoon they were handed the following copy of a telegram sent out at 4 o'clock yester- day morning to the persons whose presence is desired:
