The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-08-02

The report, for instance, refers to
Jone charity that published no ac-
counts, to another with merely NOM
insl committee, to a third whose bal
fails to account for a quar-
ter of a million dollars, to a fourth
started by an undischarged bankrupt
to a fifth that was the invention of a
foreign swindler. To all these the
public gave freely.
1.-The favorite dodge, says the re-
port, "is really to expend the major
part of the sum collected on nomi-
nal object of the charity and only
steal twenty or thirty thousand
pounds"
After calling attention to the reck-
lessness of titled and prominent peo-
pie in lending their names to these
fake charities, the committee recon-
mends state supervision throughout
registration of charity funds.
But, says the Daily Mail, "that is
not enough. First let us have the
title of the bogus charities or the
names of their 'treasurers'. Titled
and prominent people who lend their
names in this way place vicious and
|contemptible blot on our social sys-
tenn, and it would do a world of good
if the names of these dummy patrons
were published along with the frauds
they have helped to foster"
Many promoters have found the war
charity a gilt-edged investment, the
Daily Sketch deduces and adds:
There are certain men and women
in society who think that they have
fulfilled most of their obligations to
charity by allowing their names to
go on every committee which writes
to them"

LONDON VICTIM OF FAKE
CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS
(By Associated Press


London, August London society
has been stirred by the revelation that
some of its titled and most promi-
nent members have unwittingly been
blending their names to fraudulent war
charity organizations. The names of
the frauds and of the leaders OF Eng
lands aristocracy who served on COM
mittees were not given out by the
government committee which made
the disclosures.
Following close on the heels Of the
report the founder of war fund was
arrested, speedily convicted and SEN
fenced to six months imprisonment at
hard labor for converting its money to
his own use. In passing sentence the
court condemned widely known per-
sons who had allowed their names to
be used on dummy committees"
Rumors that all was not straight
in the affairs of many of the charity"
organizations which have sprung up
since the outbreak of the war were
heard early this year and resulted in
the appointment of the committee. It's
report bristles with stories of fake
charities. astounding proof of the gull
libility of mankind, and the case
wherewith distinguished persons may
be trapped into lending their names
to what is described as organized
roguery".

CANADA'S LOAN ABOUT EIGHTY
 MILLION OVER
A Magnificent Response to Domestic Issue by PeopIe-ShOWS
 Finances Good.

OTTAWA, Sept. 29 - Cash sub scriptions to the Dominion War loan received by the Department of Fi- nance up to midnight Saturday to- tailed $16s,OOO,OOO. This includes the $5O,OOOOOO subscribed by the chartered banks. When 1t is con sidered that only S1OO,OOO,OOO was called for. some idea of the sue cess Of the loan may be gained.
 "I an confident" said Sir Thom- as White, finance minister, that when the subscriptions now in the mails are received, the total will be S1SO.OOO.0OO. and probably more. Ninety-five per cent. of the subscrlp- tions are Canadian. The number of subscribers will reach thirty thou sand. No further subscriptions can be received"
 The question of the amount allot- ment to the subscribers can not be considered until the returns are nearly all received It is regarded as probable that the banks will re- ceive no part of their S5o,OOO,OOO subscriptions. and that the smaller subscriptions will be allotted in full. The cutting down will be done in connection with the larger subscrip- tions.
 There was no conflict of interest between the brokers and bankers. The latter. at their three thousand offices throughout the Dominion, re- ceiyed subscriptions from the public and payment therefor.

SUBMARINE ATTACK ON
 BOOZE"

The Pioneer Trust and Say ings Bank. Chicago. is issuing cards with it's advertisement on one side and on the other a telling temperance sermon, Submarine Attack on Booze It reads as follows:
 "For the married man who cannot get along without drinks, the following is sug- gested as means of freedom from bondage to saloons:
 Start a saloon in your own home. Be the only customer (you'll have no license to pay. Go to your wife and give her two dollars to buy a gallon of whiskey. and remember there are sixty-nine drinks in a gallon. Buy your drinks from no one but your wife, and by the time that the first gallon is gone she will have eight dollars to put into the hank and two dollars to star business again.
 Should you live ten years and continue to buy booze from her, and then die with snakes in your boots, she will have enough money to bury you decently, educate your children, buy 8 house and lot, and marry a decent man, and quit thinking about you en- tirely.' o2

Vancouver General Is to Be Appointed as the Chief of Training
 Staff Abroad.

LONDON, Sept 29.-The co-ordi- hating of the training with them forces receive in English with them subsequently given them in France, have been engaging the attention of the minister of militia of late, and has been discussed with the Army Council and the Canadian corps commanders. Brigadier-General Lee kie of Vancouver is to be appointed chief of the training staff in Eng land. This will necessitate frequent journeys to France by himself and his subordinates, as the features of trench warfare and modern open warfare change almost from week to week.

Incidence

Incidence is the sleep of mind. What is
often called incidence is, in fact, the I'M
conscious consciousness Of incapacity.
What men want is not talent; it is pur-
pose; in other words, not power to achieve,
but the will to labor.
The darkest hour of any young man is
when he sits down to study how to get
money without honestly earning it.
Laziness grows on people; it begins in
cobwebs, and ends in chains.
Incidence is the dry rot of even a good
mind and good character the practical
uselessness of both.
1t is the waste of what might be a happy
and useful life.
So long as we must fight our way, the
man genius pushes forward, conquering
and to conquer. But how often is he at
last overcome by Capua Ease and fame
bring sloth and slumber. Of all our
faults, that which we most readily admit is
Incidence. We persuade ourselves that it
cherishes all the peaceful virtues and with
out destroying it merely suspends their
functions.
Look upon Incidence as sort of suicide;
for the man is effectually destroyed, though
the appetite of the brute may survive.-Ex.

The Pipedream Boy

My son. heard the father say "the

bean, and join the lads upon the green.
For growing boys should romp and play,
not plant squashes all the day go
father, DEAR the boy replied, 81 take
more pleasure and more pride in raising
pumpkins which will wear blue ribbons at
the county fair, than 1 would take in play
ing ball, which is but trifing; after all.
What shall it profit any youth to make
threebase hit, forsooth? Let idlers all such
games pursue, and entertain an idle crew,
while am raising things to eat, the prunes
the nutmeg and the beet, the little early
riser pea, the wiener and the banyan tree
The father purpled for spell, and then he
tottered to the we'll, with feeble, slow and
hating tread, and there awhile he soaked
his head.-Walt Mason.

at three payments, and finished his life in
obscurity; Dryden lived in abject poverty;
Otway died in hunger and neglect; Lee

Xylander sold his 'notes'' on Don

the age of eighteen he studied to acquire
glory, but at twenty-five he studied to get
bread
Cervantes, the immortal genius of Don
Quixote, felt the pangs of hunger; Camoens,
the solitary pride of Portugal, deprived OF
the necessaries of life persisted in hospital
in Lisbon. This fact has been accidental
ly preserved in an entry of the first edition
of the Lusiad, in the possession of Lord
Holland. OF England, in 1877. 1t is note
written by a friar who must have been a
witness of the dying scene of the poet and
probably received from the hands of the
unhappy poet the volume which now
preserves the sad memoria and which re.

composing number of popular tragedies,
lived in great poverty and died at ninety
years of age. Then his coffin was carried
by fourteen poets who, without his genius,
probably partook of his wretchedness.
Hinton H. Helper, man of creative tai
ent in minor sense, the author of the I'm
pending Crisis. which, probably, helped
largely to bring on the Civil War Q861-65),
and other works, committed suicide in
1910, when past eighty years of age, in
boarding house in Washington, D. c.
Louis XIV honored Racine and Boileau
with private monthly audience. One
day the king asked what there was new in
the literary world. Racine answered that
he had seen melancholy spectacle in the
house of Cornelle, whom he found dying,
deprived even of little broth. The king
preserved profound silence, but sent the
dying poet some of money short time
later.
Dryden, for less then three hundred
pounds (about fifteen hundred dollars),
sold Tonson, his publisher, ten thousand
verses, as may be seen by agreement. Des-
pite this, however, the poet received large
sums for some of his productions.
Purchas, who, in the reign of James l, had
spent his life in compiling his Relation of
the World, when he gave 1t to the public
for the reward of his labors, was thrown
into prison at the instigation of his printer,
who brought suit against him. Yet this
was the book which, he informs Charles
in his dedication, the monarch's father
reads every night with great profit and
satisfaction"

inventions were lost. The steam engine
and the telegraph may be traced among
them.
1t is shown in the Harleian MSS, 1924
that Rushworth, the author of the His
torical Collections, passed the last years of
his life in Jail, where he finally died.
After the the Restoration, 1860, when he
presented to the king Charles ID several

] am the sculptor; L, myself, the clay,
Of which 1 am to fashion as l will,
In deed and in desire, day by day,
The pattern of my purpose, good or i'll.
Not in dull bronze nor the insensate stone
Must my enduring passion find its goal;
Within the living statue enthrone
That essence of eternity, the soul.
Nor space nor time that soul of yearning

Aud, dwelling mid the mystery of the stars,
Aspires to answer the Eternal Why.

The lily's purple, the red roses glow,

And marvels at the magic of the snow.

Who taught him how his homeward

By force or favor it would win from fate
The sacred sec6t of the blood and breath;
Learn ALT hidden springs of love and hate,
And gain dominion over life and death.

Of spirit and of substance, must mold
The shining symbol of grander grace;
The hope toward which the centuries have
