Thousands of 'NeLLies'
Who Sink to Migrants
Become Burden TO City

be able to retrace the rugged road from
lonely farm to prison cell; we might
learn why some girls prefer to go the
easiest way" rather than to toll hon
estly; we might learn whether it was
Nellie, or her parents, or society, of
which we form a part, that was "delin-
Quent."
PASSES OUT
OF CITY LIFE.
We do not know what happened after
Nellie took the car for home. We do
know that she Is the type, and the con-
ditions Of her life are the kind that make
charity societies and reformatory insti-
tutiOns necessary.
Somebody neglected Nellie.
Had she remained in the city, she
would have become a dependent, or at
least. a member of that increasing
class which is a constant menace and
burden TO taxpayers. Without money
and without friends, and with no over
mastering desire to work, Nellie's type
is a liability to any community. Given
a chance, she might become a good in
vestment. But who is going to give her
another chance?
Perhaps the author Of that wideIv
known book, Poverty" had similar
cases aud conditions in mind when he
wrote:
Among the many inexplicable things
in life there is probably nothing m Jre
out of reason than our disregard for
preventive measures and our apparent
willingness to provide almshouses. pris-
ons, asyIums hospitals, homes, etc, for
the victims of our neglect. Poverty is
a culture bed for criminals. paupers, va
grants. and for such diseases as inebrl-
ETY., insanity and imbecility: and yet
we endiessly go on in our unconcern.
or in our blindness. Needless of its
sources, believing all the time that We
are merciful in administering to its IN
fortunate results"
OF one thing we are certain. These
unfortunate results" are by no means
limited in their tragic consequences to
the class we call pauper, dependent or
degenerate Society is an organism.
Therefore its members are inter related
and inter dependent. If there is tuber-
culosis IN the home of your colored wash
woman your child may be stricken; a
strike in the Colorado mines effects the
cost Of your next ton Of coal; labor con-
ditions in Cuba may limit your sugar
supply: oppressive conditions in Europe
may bring the embittered immigrant to
your door.
The problem which Nellie presents is
not SO very far removed from the welfare
Of your own daughter.

served for the full period Of the Civil
War and whose love of the war memorial
for the soldiers and sailors amounts al
most to a passion.
There are thousands OF visitors, he
states, that after leaving the city, re-
member but one thing about it, the monu-
ment Local persons wonder why we do
not allow people to sit on the rail, or
the lawn. 1t has even been suggested
that the cascades be used for public bath
ing pools. They seem to forget that this
is not playground. & city toy, instead
OF a wonderful memorial, a tomb, in fact,
sacred TO the memories OF all the men
who have died fighting for our country.
1t isn't that they mean to be irreyerant
but they just forget, they are so familiar
with 1t that they lose sight altogether Of
the reason for its being.
why, in recent years during a certain
national convention, when there was a
lot of gaiety and hilarity going on, when
he had bands playing around the monu-
ment day and night and we all enjoyed
it, too, and had a good time, a group
of the merrymakers originated a humor-
Gus stunt but as a finale they asked
me if they might all plunge into the
cascades I reminded them what the
would be likely TO play leapfrog over
the graves Of their ancestors or jazz in
the mausoleum sacred to their dead And
then they remembered and apoIogized
for the suggestion. They didn't mean to
be irreverent, you see, just thoughtless."
SKYSCRAPERS
KINDLE ANGER.
Colonel Perry is indignant over the
desire Of some individuals to erect multi
storied buildings on the circle.
Why the beauty of the shaft would
be completely lost" he stated Indignant
ly, If 1t was hemmed in by a circle of
lofty structures. Miss Indiana at pres
ent stands far above all the buildings
around her, for the building law on the
Circle permits no structures over eighty
six feet high, but there is talk now
Of putting up a fifteen story building,
and a petition to raise the maximum
height 70 $50 feet, which would mean the
ruination Of the artistic and impressive
effect of the shaft If skyscrapers should
be built around the Circle, the monument
would be sunk in the center Of 1t, com

Do you who pass daily by the Soldiers
and Sailors Monument know that the
water that dashes over cascades comes
from a well over 4O0 feet deep? That ii
is 90 per cent pure and that 1t runs all
night for the benefit of the public. Most
OF us do not know that 1t is soft water
either. even though we take drink now
and then IN passing. but it resemb es
rain water In quality although clear and
crystalline In appearance. Possibly some
one Of the lses Thoughtful also fancied, If

CHICAGO GRAINS

decided upward swing in price today

porters and domestic millers The fin

December Sl.27h to S12Iia. Corn

from l5c decline to 21lac advance. At
first the wheat market showed a ten
dency to continue yesterdays fall in
prices but conditions were speedily
reversed when signs began to appear
that substantial buying orders were
being executed botn for European
shipment and for the milling industry
at home
strong export demand as far ahead
as November was indicated at the
Gulf of Mexico and it was said 100000
bushels had been worked for export
from Atlantic cities. Meanwhile the
milling demand was associated with
word from Minneapolis that good
business in -four was under way
In addition, crop reports from North
Dakota were unfavorable and low tenn
peratures in Canada gave rise to fear
of frost damage. Highest prices of the
day We're reached just before tine close.
Corn. Is well as wheat was in much
request for export A leading short

corn on a big scale. Oats merely re-
flected the course OF other grain.
