ARE REORGANIZlNG
CITYS CHARITY WORK
Charitable Organizations Preparing
Complete Record OF All Per-
sons Receiving Aid.

AS the result of continued work on
the part of the organized charities
of the city the lists of the township
trustee, the Salvation Army and Notre
Dame have been checked so that there
is now little chance for persons TO re-
ceive more than their share of aid
from these sources. The work of
checking is to be continued as rapid
ly as possible until all inadvertent
duplication of names is avoided.
The cooperative work that the or
CARNATIONS are doing on these lists
is the result of discoveries that in
many instances families have been re-
ceiving more than their share OF aid.
1t is not now the purpose OF the
charity workers to say that persons
shall receive aid from only one source
but the purpose is that it shall be only
upon the judgment of the workers
themselves that such combined aid
shall be given.
Although il has been found that In
many instances there have been un-
scrupulous persons who have solicited
aid from various organizations on
whose liSs they had entered their
names yet 1t has not followed that all
persons listed with various organiza-
lions have pursued such a course.
There have been those who have ac-
cepted only such aid as they needed.
From this time on, however. each or
ganization will be fully informed as
to what aid each other organization is
giving.

even when congress was nearly solid
ly republican though tinctured with
reactionery and progressive streaks.
II is no discredit 10 the ship-purchase
bill that il is undergoing amendments
TO escape a certain death. The power
ful interests that are at work to kill
the measure Will be confronted with
a degree Of defeat even if naught but
the enacting clause survives. 1t has
been a great campaign of education,
this fight over the ship-purchase bill,
and any kind OF a bill is better
than none, that gives the principle a
foothold
But Col. Bryan'e address went
farther than the ship-purchasing bill.
ST touched upon things democratic
here at home. 1t sounded a warning
which the Indiana democracy must
heed IL il is TO maintain it's suprem-
acy. 1t must not be bluffed to sleep
by the reactionary element, which in
the main is neither democratic nor
republican, but running largely TO a
bipartisan arrangement, with self in
terest the main stake. This govern
ment was never in greater danger than
now with respect to the issue, as to
whether this shall continue a govern
ment. by. of and for the people, or
by. Of and for the Almighty Dollar
Tt is regrettable that Col. Bryan
could not have been heard in every
nook and corner of the state, especial
ly where he has enemies. 1t would
have done those enemies good to have
witnessed between the lines, the
source Of their enmity.

THE COLLEGE EXAMINATIONS.

From the young people away at col
leges and schools, many reports come
back Of long hours spent examining
for mid-year examinations. Students
who have slipped along easily gorge
themselves with facts. and expect to
make a good showing
College and school heads are bright
people and they hand out an exam
ination paper quite different from
what the pupil expects. He expects
10 be called upon to give mostly
names, dates. and dry facts. But the
real test OF school work is no mere
feat OF memory.
Ii is Of very little consequence. for
instance, for a student to be able to
tell in what year Thomas Jefferson
became president. But he is a poor
pupil in history if he cannot give in
his own words a general idea of JEFF
fersOn's influence in the forming Of
the American government A well
arranged examination paper tests the
general intelligence on such questions,
and preparation for such an exami-
nation is acquired only by persistent
daily work

THE DAY OF YOUNG MEN.

The young man of today is master
of a business at an age when his
grandfather had scarce finished an
apprenticeship. Universal education
and quick and cheap communication
and transportation bring to the young
man now a practical grasp of affairs
which only long years Of experience
could give to our fathers 80 years ago.
Not only are possibilities larger
and ambitions higher, but, since meth
DDS are swifter and vision is broader
than in any preceding period. more
may be accomplished in early life.
From factory and office up 10 coll
lege and church the call is for young
men. The world is his TO do with as
he sees fit. Youth is the master.
Money does less for a young man
who will not also do for himself than
it ever did before in world history.
Brain and skill OF hand bring one
further today than ever The best
capital nowadays is a combination of
sense. industry, pluck and application.
Young man. your chance is while
yoI are young. Grab it-with both
hands

Lots OF people thought him great

the librarian. An official OF the uni

seller and engaged him.
Today that teacher of languages is
one OF the shining lights of Harvard

ANOTHER BAD BREAK FROM

The bill provides that whatsoever

BLOCKADE Is DENOUNCED
Danish Papers Say Germany Has no
Right TO Threaten.

COPENHAGEN. Feb. 6.-Danish
newspapers Friday denounce Ger
many threatening the shipping Of
neutrality countries in declaring a
blockade of England The national
Tidende said:
THE menace of the German adj
miralty staff against neutral shipping
is a brutal violation of free neutral
commerce. The German assertion
that the British admiralty ordered
merchant vessels 10 display neutral
flags so far has neither been con
firmed nor denied. If il be true, II
will of course result in a protest but
even the misuse Of neutral flags by
one belligerent power cannot justify
an attack on peaceful merchant YES
sells.
Our deepest hope is that the Ger
man menace will not be carried out
but if il is IL will cause the deepest
indignation of all neutral states"

A school girl down In Marshall

to say about the sparrow that as a
matter of magnanimity to the spar
row, if nothing else, we reproduce 1t
from the Argos Reflector. The name
Of the poet of the sparrow is Janet
Kuhn, and she is a sophomore in the
high school:
A little bird with plumage brown
From the tree-tops flutters down
And chirps a lovely strain
Close against my window-pane.
Then on the gill he hops along
Singing "a merry song.
Then he neglects his pretty lay
AS to his mate he flies away.
He brings both peace and love
To me, from his mate above.
And when he leaves my windows
He has cured my every i'll.
From the city's deadly din,
From the vicious haunts of men,
Swift he flies at close Of day
To his mate, so far away.
THUS may we learn wisdom out of
the mouths of babes.

DEALERS CLASSED
AS JUNK MEN


Boston, Mass The Boston motor
car dealers are now up against a
problem that is very pcrplcNiug and
the solution Of which will have to be
undertaken I'm the courts. Recently
every dealer was notified that be
would nave To- take ont license ass "a
secondhand dealer, the same as il he
were a iunhman. There was much
telophoning to Secretary Chester /.
Campbell Of the Boston Automobile
Dealers association and he began an
Investigation. He found that the pO-
lice had been instructed to enforce
the city ordinance that Cumpels
every person who buys, sells, bartcrs
or trades in any secondhand COM
modify to do SO under license
grant.
Several of the dealers. when told
by the police that they must take
out a license, applied for one. Then
they got letter from Secretary
Campbell advising them not To do so.
He told them there was a little joker
in the ordinance that would tie them
up. II provides that every such per
son must hold for at least 30 days
every secondhand article ne takes
in trade That meant that no dealer
could move any motor car he took
I'm trade for at least 30 days As this
is the busy season for selling used
when the police came with the blanks
filled out and seeking the IS fee the
dealers refused to accept them.
At first the police intended not to
bother the regular dealers and branch
managers. but to make the ordinance
apply 90 the secondhand men, but
the latter made a protest and the
dealers either win have to fight or
take ont q license. When the fight
is made an effort will be made to
have the city council change the or
dinauce, it being city regulation and
not state law. The police give as
the reason for enforcing the ordi-
nance that there are too many thcfts
Of motor cars. and only, by getting
the numbers through the second
hand sales can the. cars be traced.
The numbers Of the cars will have 20
be submitted TO the police, like those
