Editor Topeka State Journal;
Dear Sir-AIIOw me, through the
medium OF your paper to consratu-
late Judge MacFarland upon the &C
ton he has taken in reference 70 the
attendance of children at the Special
meetings being held in GarIleld PARK
I happened TO attend part OF the
services at which the Judge was pres
eut I was moved by a sense OF pro-
found pity by many or the Things seen
and heard but I felt indignant that
innocent children should even De al
lowed inside the building
what a blessing mat we nave
law 10 protect children from what
surely can be called nothing less tnan /
cruelty
yours for happy childhood.
Wv. GARNET HANDLEY."
