A Sane Fourth Proclamation


Fathers and mothers care equally for their children, but the father
is Sc accustomed to scenes Of danger that he often minim1Zes the dangers
that threaten his W particular family group. Danger. he thinks,
might touch some, but not his own SO carefully guarded children. All
the pleasures of the day must be theirs. They cannot be harmed.
1t is a traghany mistaken attitude.
The sane Fourth idea appeals to the mother. 1t is she who scents
danger far off. 1t is she who stands ready to protect nt only her own
little brood, but the children of others because they are children.
VIII every mother this Fourth take it upon herself that n o chlds
voice be raised, crying into the far future for fingers. arms, eyes that
it has not?
Will she but aid that there may be this year no Rachel mourning
or children she has OF because Of al insane celebration OF the most
glorousy patriotic of days, the day that proclaimed liberty to America?

the turn of the Rev. Bell, well known
in connection with his activities
against the old restricted district.
First, he requests those who are
seated to get up and give chance to
those who have had to stand. Then,
looking sadly over the assembly and
probably moved by the spectacle of
so many UnfOTtunates, in a voice
shaking with emotion, he says: Eve
realize that times are nard and we
don't want to scold you, only little
for what's good for you"
Striking is the appearance of the
crowd, mostly composed Of young
men, not a bad-looling lot. Truly,
quite few are in tatters, others have
the marks of dissipation written on
their faces. However, with the ma
jority the mark of misery and pinch
ing poverty is more in evidence. Sew
eral, fairly welI-dressed and wearing
white collars, are noticeable. These
evidently were in the past working in
stores and offices, and since dis
charged from their employment
have made a heroic effort to keep UP
appearance, for they know only too
well that unless they do so their
chances for a position in The future
are gone. They, too, show plainly
that pitiful look Of despair which
marks the countenance Of the major
ity of the unemployed. They try to
hide it, but try as they will it is new
ertheless there and will probably be
there fore some time to come. They
can't get away from it.

men will turn in for the night and
make an attempt to snatch few mo-

a mystery. Impossible to stretch at
full length, no accommodations, they

ARMY OF DESPAIR


BY Fred IsIer, Sec'y Hoboes' Union.
MIDNIGHT MISSION. 1t is mid
night. The weather is cold and raw.
The lights on State street are shining
brightly. From the saloons come
loud and bOisterOus conversation.
Crowds are coming out of the movies
and cheap vaudeville shows which are
a feature on the street. This marks
the midnight hour in the neighbor-
hood and is part of its daily routine.
At the same hour something else
is taking place and few pay any at
tention to it. 1t is hardly noticeable.
Yet it is more than an incident in the
great tragedy of life.
What is it? Part of the Army of
Despair. Without advance notice or
advertising bills they have learned
that a new haven of refuge, a place
to sleep, is open; and like bees around
the comb they crowd a small hall,
known as the Midnight Mission. And
they crowd it well, not a seat is left
vacant, not an inch of space that is
not taken. One hundred strong they
are and AZ seats to accommodate
them, and more are coming, but the
doortender has had to close the glass
door. They try the door, look at the
head of the stairs, and then a deeper
note of despair can be seen on their
faces. Their last chance to sleep in
a warm place is gone. For the bal
ance of the night it will be the cold
street and they will have to walk and
walk till the friendly doors of a saloon
will be opened in the morning. In
the expressive language of the Unem-
ployed, they will carry the banner"
