INADEQUATE CHARITY.


United Charities of Chicago has an
income of less than 100000 a year
from all sources. 1t cannot give. the
thousands of deserted mothers and
children pecuniary relief that would
be more than a pittance. To live a
decent life the mother of three chill
dren in Chicago will require at least
$40 a month income Anything less
is poverty and the family will live on
food less than enough for growth and
in neighborhood and habitation
where young life degenerates.
We now see that the United Chari-
ties has something else to offer. 1t
offers advice and sympathetic direc-
ton in addition to money. OF course,
more advice than money, because it
can obtain expert advice in unlimited
quantities, but its money income is
only derived from begging solicita-
ton, tag days, benefit theatrical per-
formances, charity balls, etc.
We now may consider what advice
is given a mother of three children
and destitute. What expert assist
ance aside from money can be given
her
The first advice given all = such
mothers is to get job Moreover,
the charity visitors use their utmost
efforts to obtain jobs for the deserted
mothers. Such women are seldom
skilled workers outside their home
and the only jobs open to them are
those that require the hardest sort of
physical labor, such as dishwashing
in restaurants, scrubbing floors and
laundry work.
Mothers who are thus placed in |
jobs outside their own homes may
live near enough to one of the day |
nurseries to leave their small children |
there while they are at work. These
women must be up very early to get |
breakfast and do all the scores of |
things a mother has to do. She must |
walk or go on the street car to the |

Then after having done work that
usually takes half day, she goes to
her bread-winning job. After her
the children, take them home, get
supper and begin her never ending
job as housekeeper and mother.
Unless the mother is endowed by
nature with most uncommon
strength, she breaks down under the
demands. Few of them long survive
this burden of doing both the work of
mother and father.
Finally she breaks down. She can
no longer keep up. Then the United
Charities advisors use their knowl-
edge and get her into some hospital
She may recover to go through the
process again.
The children are put away in
public institutions and county pays
from SO to SIS child. If the moth
er does not recover sufficiently to re-
sumo her two jobs, the children are
taken away from her by court decree
forever. They are sent away and she
can never see them again, because it
is prison offense in Illinois to inform
4 mother of the whereabouts of her
own child that has been legally
adopted. -,
Mothers thus treated usually be-
come chronic invalids, drunkards or
suicides or worse They have been
given the most painful punishment
that can be conceived-separation Of
mother and child.
The plan to pay the mother for TAX
ing care of her own children, COM
monty called the mothers pension
law, is cheaper, because the mother
is the natural caretaker of the child
and can do the job cheaper than an
institution, and moreover the institu-
ton trained child is not prepared for
the domestic life to which it must re-
turn.
The United Charities can no more

OLD THINGS KEEP
UP At ASYLUM NOW

ATLANTA, Ca, June 5.-Announce-
ment has just been made that the re-
ception OF persons not strictly insane
will continue at the state hospital for
the insane at Milledgeville, until the
chaotic conditions of the laws govern
ing admissions to the sanitarium are
remedied
Furthermore, as is pointed out, i'm
proper commitments will persist as
long as sufferers from mental disor-
1ers are treated as criminals, kept in
common jails pending commitment,
tried by juries and disposed of ac-
cording to the verdicts rendered, in
stead of being tenderly cared for as
sick persons, which they are, until
they can be admitted to hospital,
where they can be treated for diseases
which should render them objects of
peculiar sympathy.
Discussing the annual report of the
institution, members Of the board OF
trustees make this explanation, re-
garding the commitment of 105 per-
sons, said to be perfectly sane:
"All of these 105 persons were legal
~ committed to the institution after a
trial by jury, and in no single instance
was an attempt made to confine sane

person by those wishing to do him in
jury. On the contrary the object was
to benefit the one so committed, even
though the f1exibility of the laws gov.
erning admissions, was stretched to the
limit.
'The law provides that only lunatics,
idiots, epileptics and demented inebri-
ates are fit subjects for confinement in
the sanitarium. 1t is the last class
That causes frequent misconstruction
o. the law and results in commitment
NJ those not insane. Jurors are not
expected to be educated as to mental
diseases. The fact that relatives of
person under trial believe he must be
insane in order to go to such extremes

STRAIGHT FIFTY DAYS

distinction of being the first person to

ton law became effective on May LIST,
had straight sentence of fifty days
pasted on him by Recorder Marshall
Monday morning. He was represented
by G. r. Winchester.

certoraried to the Superior court

Crafty Red Squirrels.

The red squirrel is as crafty as he
Is quick. He'll select three or four
places to store nuts. SO If one is dis
covered he has reserve supplies. And
he never makes mistake and put
away worm eaten nuts. The red
squirrel knows a wormy nut as soon
as he picks 1t up and revolves 1t in his
paws.
Ever see him eat hickory nut :
He sits up on his hind legs WEI his
tail curved over his back. holding the
nut in his forepaws. First he drills a
little hole in the shell with his sharp
teeth. breaking away the shell little
at a time until he can get at the ker,
mel.
II the red squirrel limited his diet
to nuts he would have more friends.
But sometimes he adds store OF the
farmers corn to his underground nest.
He's robber Of birds nests. too. and
you'll see him perched on limb eating
an egg as innocently as though he
were cracking a walnut.-Philadelphia

DANGEROUS Learning.

A little learning is n dangerous thing.
but a little too much learning Is still
more dangerous. To.haye too mucn
learning sets you s9x far above your
fellow mortals and fins You with such
contempt for them that you cannot be
comfortable in their presence nor they
in yours. Beyond certain point
learning ceases to be Of use and be-
comes a burden. because nobody can
comprehend what you are talking
about Thus it happens that men are
90 learned sometimes that the only
way society can live With them is to
shut them away In some asylum.
So, then. follow Pope's advice.
Drink deep or taste not the Pierian
spring." but don't drink too deep.
Which is much the same as saying
that happy medium in the matter OF
learning is just as happy as any other
happy medium.-Lafe.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON

The baccalaureate sermon of the
Denison high school was delivered at
the First Methodist Episcopal Church
Sunday evening, Rev. j. l.. Boyd de-
livering the address.
The senior class colors, purple and
white, formed the color scheme OF
the pretty decorations, which were
arranged by the members of the jun
ior class A beautiful blanket of lilacs
and snow ball blossoms had been in
terwoven with the green leaves and
was extended from end to end of the
pulpit. The effect of the decoration
was very pleasing.
The singing by the glee clubs OF
the high school was feature OF the
service and was highly appreciated
by the large audience in attendance.
The address was somewhat unique in
character and was well received, not
only by the graduates, but the audience
generally The speaker gave many
practical suggestions. which II need
ed by the young people, will be OF
great benefit to them in after life. he
gave practical suggestions respecting
health considerations which should not
be neglected on their part. They were
made to understand that their labors in
life were not concluded because they
were finishing their course of study
in the public schools. He urged them
to apply themselves and to seek ev'
cry opportunity for higher education
such as our colleges furnish. He urg,
cd them to make it point to asso-
ciate themselves with good people, to
read good books in order to build up
strong characters to sustain them III
life's work; that they should live not
only moral but Christian lives and
thereby discharge their highest obi
cations and better insure success IN
life.
If the young people will but follow
in slight degree the advise and coun'
sci of the speaker, they will find it
greatly to their interest to do so. The
class consists of thirtAfour young
men and women of Denison and there
is every reason to be proud of the
public schools and the class OF grad,
yates this year.
