FINAL EFFORT FOR
 CHARITIES BUDGET
 BEGINS ON MONDAY
Mrs. Julia Houston Railey Tells of Extent of
 Work

Judge w. $. SOrrellS, chairman, an- nounced last night that workers in the Associated Charities campaign for $55O0 will make final effort to obtain the desired amount between Monday morning at nine o'clock and Tuesday at noon.
 Workers and all others who are in- terested in the future of the organ ization have been requested to meet at o'clock when cards will be given out and instructions issued.
 A noon luncheon will be held Tues day at the Y. M. c. A. when final reports will be made. Less than half of'the desired sum has been obtained
 Mrs. Julia Houston Railey, former head of the organization here, but now a resident of New York, in a letter to George H. Adams, the pub fisher of the Graphic, has some in- teresting things to say about the work. eThe. letter is~as follows: Dear MT. Adams:
 "I am watching with much interest the determined fight Judge Sorrells and his co-workers are making to secure the budget for the Associated Charities as published in the Graph ic. They will succeed of course, be- cause Pine Bluff, with her brilliant record of achievement. both during and since the war. will not tolerate The suggestion of failure in this important department of public serv- ice. I do want, however, to say a few things bv way of comment to those busy people who do not al- ways read the reports of the work done bv this office. The budget for Pine Bluff, is $7.50O of which sum 2.0O0 was raised in the Spring. am told. Some persons I say, who are not fully informed do not know, for instance, the full measure of relief given and think the salaries paid ex- cessive, in proportion to the amount of money spent. It seems important eo Sdi1 dttCHltoH JuoC uOW u lIc broader and less we'll known field of activity covered by the Charities The Secretary, always highly spec ialized expert. secures cooperation whenever needed. from the ablest professional men in the city, and dur ing nv own administration of the off, flee. for about three years, con- scrvative estimate of the value in dollars and cents of services freely eiven bv both doctors and lawyers. was between $3,OO0 and $4,O00 per wear.
 Another function of this Associa- tion is to serve as sort of clearing house to the various Benevolent and Fraternal Organizations that per- iodicallv dispense public charity; many church societies and women's s clubs also cooperate, thus avoiding duplication. A fairly complete reg ister of the city's poor is kent in the records of the Associated Charities.
 Aid of this sort is always well come, because of the chronic cases that would otherwise monopolize the funds needed for emergency demands and is classified under the head of Especial Charity" not the least of the benefits the city receives is the freedom from our streets of the nu- merous street beggers that in former years have infested the streets.
 Cordially yours,
 "Julia Houston Railey."

Chicago, July 1O.-According to Dr. w. J. Hicks0n, head of the municipal psychopathic labora- tory, Wanderer represents a case of dementia praecox.
 I have observed scores of such cases in the army" he said. "Wanderer has a mind geomet- rically moral, but emotionally immoral. He is pre-occupied with ideas of right and wrong"
 Dr. dickson said that the run ming away from responsibility was one of the commonest symp- toms of praecox.
 Dr. William o. Krohn, alienist who has examined many murd- 'erers, called Wanderer "just cold blooded killer, with an ab- normal twist to his brain, whose senses of prudence was pushed aside by egotism, selfishness and self admiration

Az the evening meeting an audience

Ernest H West presided A very

nished by the Mcbride Orchestra and
a quartet consisting Of Messrs. Rufus

and Huntington Gilbert.
The topic discussed was the indus'
trial opportunity in Vermont. To
those who have read the various leaf
lets put out by the Hartness Club the
address did not present much new
matter, but it gave something far
more important than the printed word,
namely an impression Of the spirit and
character Of the man. And this inn
preston was like that which Mr.. Cool
idge makes-an impression Of deep
thoughtfulness and Of absolute SINGER
ity.
Docs not Vermont need a man OF
this type in the Governors chair
need him now perhaps more than ever
before? Vermont is small state and
poor; should il not therefore seek the
more earnestly TO choose its very best
men for the highest Offices? Vermont
is second TO no state in natural beauty,
but as regards enlightened and pro-
gressive legislation we can not claim
as much. What more hopeful step
can Vermonters take this fall than to
choose as our next Governor man
who knows industrial life from the
bottom, man who has an idea OF
great that can be done for
the development Of the state, and
man in whose character all who know
him have the utmost confidence
