The ladies inquire:

t1anS cry out to God, IN the face of these
facts?"
Indeed, it does, ladies' Every time the
missionary eats dollar dinner on imported
ham at II cents pound, and imported flour
at IS. peck, he surely makes the dollar cry
out.
What will Doctors Smith and Graham say
to this Dollar which, In the East, feeds and
clothes an orphan for 25 days!
What sort of feed, and what sort of
clothes could you buy for dollar in this coun-
try?
You might feed chicken on a Dollar a
month"; but the chicken would have to furn-
lsh its own clothes.
The Indianapolis Board tells us that Dol
lar will feed poor widow for month";"
Feed her on qchat?
On imported ham, deliciously put up in
pots?
Hardly That sort of grub costs A cents
pound, and not even poor widow could live
ON two pounds of ham month.
The Indianapolis Board assures us that a
Dollar will support boy IN school for q
month"
My That's cheap enough. At that rate a
boy can be supported for SD year.
But how can it be done, if as Doctors Smith
and Graham allege, it costs more to live in the
East, than in this country?
My home is in the midst of the oldest rural
settlement In Georgia; and, two days ago, L
said goodbye to fine young woman teacher
qcho had closed her school, miles from here,
because 1t IS mooO time for the children to go
to acorh IN the fields.
The first of April, and the country school
shuts up, for the Spring and Summer, to be
opened again in the Fall, when the children
will have forgotten half Of what they've been
taught.
It is heart rending, battling, inexplicable-
this everlasting racket for Money, Money,
MONEY, to feed, clothe, educate the foreign
child, and minister to the foreign sick, when
there is such cruel neglect and bitter need,
here at home.
The men who are doing the greatest harm
to the Protestant churches, and to the future
civilization of our country, are those fanatlcal
howlers for Foreign Missions, who have lost
all sense of proportion and who honestly be-
lieve that the command to preach the Gospel,
included an elaborate and fearfuly expensive
system of gymnasums, kindergartens, or
phanages, schools, colleges, hospitals, drug
Stores dental shops, chronological Institutes,
and agricultural experiment stations.
God help the people, # this craze goes n0uch
farther!
1t already robs our schools and charities
of $20,0OO,OO0 a year, and the Boards are
flooding the land with appeals for more.
IF the Boards did not misappropriate thou
sands of dollars of mission funds, to publish
deceptive but alluring pictures of the Foreign
fields, the craze would long since have passed .
away; and the churches would have gone back
to the Scriptural, Pauline evangelism of
preaching the Gospel.
Under the present mercenary system, the
Boards thinks in Money, the missionaries
think in No0eu and the 1conyprts" think in

the cars. Another matter that his at
tention was called to was the furnish
ing, without charge, electric lights
for the properties of some of the d.
rectors. He admitted that such was
the case but did not know how MANY
lights were given.
William c. Wetherill was called and
examined on the remarks of Mr..
Coate when before the Business Mems
Association. Witness said the treas
urer's report, printed above, was
shown Mr.. Coate and the latter said
that was merely "hot air and soft
soap to make the stockholders feel
good"
Albert Haines, president of the
Traction company, was called to ex-
plain the existence of lights on his
farm. They were given in return for
privileges of right Of way over Mr..
Haines' land. Then he paid his re-
spects to Mr.. Richards and said the
term of the latter's contract was
marked by unusual expenditures and
some of the directors thought this
condition was brought about by Mr..
Richards Encouragement. After
some discussion in the board meeting
it was decided to pay the bonus, but
Mr.. Haines and one other director
voted against the proposition. Wit
ness said he never had been connected
with any other trolley road and what
experience he had in that line was
gained through his service as an Of
fetal of this road. He had made com
parsons of the cost of running cleo
trio lines, but said the only company
ne had compared with was the Pub
lie Service Company and he admitted
he did not think that fair compare

A Youthful Runaway

On Wednesday evening, a boy aged IL
years, got on trolley car at Moorestown,
as it was starting on its trip to Mount
Holly. He gave the conductor a trans
fer ticket and when the limit of that had
been reached conductor Jimmie" Stills
went co the boy and asked him where
he was going, telling how far; the car
would run. The boy said he would go
to Mount Holly and handed out a dollar
for his fare. When this place was
reached Stills asked what part of the
town the boy wanted to get off. On
reaching the end Of the run near the fair
ground the conductor told his youthful
passenger that the car did not go any
further and the boy slighted.
He first went to a residence nearby as
il he intended to seek entrance, then
turned and went to another house but
he hesitated so long at each place that
Stills suspicious were aroused and be
took charge of the boy and made him
give some information about himself
The boy said his home was in New
York. He represented his father as be-
ing man of means and said the lattel
gave him So every week for spending
money. His stepmother, he said, wa'
not kind to him and he ran away from
home. He did not appear to want Il
go back to New York so Stills stopped
when his car reached the Jail on its re
turn trip and handed the lad to deteC
tive Parker.
That official got in communicated
.. with the New York police and repl
! came to the effect that the boy ha
, stolen money, revolver and other art
E cles and the Burlington county authori
. ties were requested to hold him until tn
: New York police could come and g
: him. He is still in jail. The revolv'
9 and other articles were found on hil
q but he had spent most of the money.

Court.

Prosecutor Kelsey was unable to at
tend the weekly session of court, owing
to an attack of lumba go, which KEEP
him confined to the house.
Charles Mick, of Pemberton township
was brought before the court on charge
Of not sending one of his boys to school
as required by the compulsory education
law.
Prof. A. l.. Gratz, principal of the
schools in that township, testified that
he had served three notices upon Mick
relative to this matter, without effect.
Mick alleged that he did not under
stand the meaning of the notices. Judge
Lippincott explained the law to the de-
PENDANT, and also told him the penalty
for not complying Herewith. Mick was
allowed to depart after he had promised
to send the boy to school regularly.
Three boys who had just been arrested
that morning for breaking into the
Roebling Company's store at Roebling.
were brought into court by Detective
Parker. That official had been to Roeb-
ling 20 investigate the robbery and
brought the lads with him. Their names
are Mike Jenyk, Carbon Torok and
Stephen Kovac, all aged II years. The
court assigned Charles A. Rigg to de-
fend them and requested Henry H. Saw
age to represent the state.
The youths signed waivers of indict-
ment and pleaded guilty.
The testimony disclosed that the boys
had entered the store on Wednesday
night by removing pane of glass from
a rear window and crawling through the
opening. They carried away about $26
in money taken from the cash registers,
two watches and handful of marbles.
One of the boys needed shoes, so he
selected pair costing $3.50 and left his
WORKOUT ones in the store. This was
one of the clues that led to his arrest
The youthful offenders said they went
to Bordentown on the same night
and bought three electric flashlights,
some ice cream and chewing gum. One
of them tried to buy revolver, but the
storekeeper refused to sell it to him.
When asked by the Judge to explain
where they got the idea of breaking into
the store, one of the boys said he saw a
moving picture where robbery was
committed. In reply to another ques-
ton, the lad said the picture
thief was arrested and taken to Jail.
The two watches and about two-thirds
of the money were recovered, and the
flashlights are to be returned to. the Bor-
dentown storekeeper and the money re-
funded.
Judge Lippincott ordered the boys to
be placed in separate cel at the Jail.
About two hours later they were brought
into the court room, looking quite peni-
tent.
They were given quite lecture by
the court; said they did not relish being
in Jail, and promised not to commit any
crime in the future. They were placed
in charge OF the probation officer fol-
three years.
The father Of the boy who had stolen
the shoes was instructed to pay for the
same.
