Helen Blair padded its way down the
Mississippi river Saturday night
ANN Baton Rouge and tied up near
| III Canal street wharf. Representing
fventy-seven cities and three states,
the marty shook its sea legs and
then boarded automobiles to view the
CITY. Bent on purely sightseeing
ana pleasure trip the Helen Blair has
obseryed no schedule coming down
/ the river.
Viewing the clean decks of the
! steamship, with the gay gathering Of
men and women is strongly reminis-
cent Of ante-bellum days when the
river boats were the mediums Of trav-
| 81 for refined and cultured southern
families While primarily a pleasure
|trip, yet it is understood that aboard
/ the boat are men who are interested
| IN southern investments and who are
making the trip with the ultimate OBJ
|ject Of buying land in the Mississippi
valley.

The boat is a modern river steam
er plying usually between Davenport
and nearby points. 1t is a stern

personally directing this trip. Mr..
Blair's boats make two trips to New

secured in three days and the case

APPLYING AT WRONG PLACE.

~ UR East Side friend who last week wrote to us
~ about street conditions ON his side of the river,
and who favors us again today with a COM
munication on the same subject, without doubt is
very much in earnest but he is applying to the
wrong office when he asks the Board of Affairs to
DO something for him.
To begin with, the way in which the city govern
ment has broken its pledges to do something for the
street which leads to,the Scase glass factory ind
bates that emo East Slider need apply policy
lis in force at the city hail. And even if the com
missioners did care fig about conditions in the
First ward they would not be able, unless all recent
sgns are at fault, to do anything until the Demo
cratic gang which runs the city graciously acqu-
slsces
Conditions on the East Side are quite as bad as
bur correspondent says they are. There should be
relief Of some kind soon. We advise our friend to
stop wasting time on the commissioners and first
lind out who it was that put through the amend
sment to the banner ordinance and then enlist that
powerful personality in his good cause.

this movement, but it is not on that account that
this newspaper hopes that there will be general
response. From our standpoint we would rather
see general response of small contributions than
generous response from a limited circle The for
ymer would be an indication that the circle of
friends of the hospital is widening-a highly i'm

Madam, begin now to take an interest in Cook hos

Even one glass of jelly, or one can of fruit, will be
enough if you cannot we'll give more. And be sure
that your modest contribution will be as gratefully
received as the more splendid one of the woman Of
wealth who did not "put up" what she sends with
hsr own hands as you did.
AS we have already said, it Is friends quite as
much as the supplies that the institution wants
