SOMETHING NEW IN ORGANIZED CHARITY
Before the state legislature In Al
bany, N. T., this winter Ylll be pre
sented a plan for America's first "de
partment of home assistance," the
first organised government bureau to
care tor the destitute home. More
than a feneration ago gorernmental
aid tor the families of the Terr poor
was abandoned In New Tort city;
living conditions and Urine's cost
have changed radically since then:
today the specially appointed commit
tee of Investigation for the city con
ference of charities -and . correction
urges governmental aid as the only
dope of real "social Justice" and liv
able support for the homes of the
destitute. There are hundreds of.
women and children starving In New
York for whom only the government
can adequately care.
"Of course It Is, primarily, a mat
ter of the cost of living," said O. F.
Lewis, chairman of the conference
committee on governmental aid of
New Tork city. "The price of the necessities of lite has Increased so much
that destitution has become a problem too great for the private societies to
meet alone. I have no doubt that the private charitable organisations could
take care of the destitute families If they only had enough money; but under
present conditions they have not enough money; and so something else must
be done something else must be added.
"What wo are suggesting Is something absolutely new. But it Is simply
the outgrowth of present conditions. It Is a question that has "broken
through' many times lately In various parts of the United States; here In
New Tork we are first bringing It to the point of definite, organised action."
The suggestion of a department of home assistance has as Its single ob
ject the care of destitute widows with little children. Under the present
regime in the care of the poor a woman with children and no means of sup
portmust either be taken care of by a private organisation, or must break
up her home and send her children to an Institution.

AMIR OF AFGHANISTAN HELPS TURKEY
Wl I iff
The specter of a holy war Is un
folding Itself before the eyes of Eu
rope. It began when Italy clashed with
Turkey In Africa, and now that the
little Christian states, that act as s
buffer between the larger powers and
Turkey, are at war, the cloud Is dark
ening rapidly among all the Moham
medan nations.
In the mosques of India, the pago
das of Malaysia and the shrines of s
dozen other nations prayers are being
said for the success of the Turkish
arms.
All Islam has thrown Its religious
support to the kahllfate at Constanti
nople, and should the sultan, as head
of the Moslem faith, unfurl the green
flag of the prophet It Is feared the
fanatic Mohammedan nations would
begin holy wars.
.Even the most conservative of
European diplomats admit there is a
possibility of political alliances be
tween Turkey and other Islamlo nations The Russian persecutions in Per
sia have fired the Mohammedans there, and the Asiatic Moslems are looking
tor a champion who can come to the rescue of the threatened Islamlo states
Turkey and Persia.
Hablbullah Khan, Amir of Afghanistan, Is the man. One word from
him, alarmists say and others fear, will bring on a series of religious clashes
that will entangle every nation In Europe, Asia and Africa.
The amir has not failed to take advantage of the almost universal mani
festation of respect paid him. and in a meeting held in Kabul recently to
express sympathy with the Turks he spoke In no uncertain manner.
Although the sovereign of a comparatively small state, the Amir Habl
bullah enjoys the prestige of being the only Independent Moslem ruler In the
world.- His country has no public debt with a foreign commission controlling
Its finances. It has a respectable and fairly well trained army. It manufac
tures Its own rifles, ammunition and guns of the smaller calibers.
MRS. GROVER CLEVELAND TO WED AGAIN
Mrs. Grover Cleveland, widow of
the former president of the United
States, Is to be married next April to
Prof..' Thomas Preston, an honorary
professor at Princeton University and
now occupying the chair of archae
ology at Wells College, Aurora, N. Y,
the institution attended by Mrs.
Cleveland, then Frances Folsom.
Although formal announcement
has not been made and probably will
not be made until after the debut of
Miss - Esther Cleveland this winter,
the fact of the engagement has been
known for some time among the In
timate friends of Mrs. Cleveland and
Professor Preston.
' The second romance of the woman
who as "the bride of the White
House" charmed a nation and whose
high character and devotion to her
distinguished husband have been, by
example, a national Influence toward
high Ideals of wifehood. Is the out
come of an acquaintanceship of little
more than a year's duration, with a man practically unknown .In America.
Thereafter he became a frequent visitor at the Cleveland home In Prince
ton, and undoubtedly Mrs. Cleveland's ardent Interest In education fostered
the first bond of sympathy that grew Into stronger attachment, and has
resulted In the most Interesting announcement of a betrothal since the world
heard that the beautiful Frances Folsom was to be married to the nation's
chief In the stately walls of the White House.
, Professor Preston, who Is about fifty years of age, a literary scholar and
a linguist of Internationa distinction, is a man of strong but retiring per
sonality, and, although he has held a high place among the faculty of Prince
ton tor years. It Is said that his first meeting with Mrs. Cleveland took place
not many months ago. ,..

000 people, that about 240,000 visited
the Southern Railway exhibits, over
70,000 people were personally talked
with about the Southeast and nearly
260,000 copies of literature advertis
ing this section were distributed. In
addition to these exhibits special
dairy exhibits were made at the Chi

That woman la paying the saloon
tax.
Have you seen Ul-kepl, unkempt
children roving tha streets, their men
tal and moral degradation pictured In
their faces, growing up to be a
charge on society, and perhaps a men
ace to It. Instead of becoming, as God
Intended them to become, a moral and
economlo asset to the oommunltyf
These children are paying Uie saloon

Noted Baseball ' Player Naa Not
Drink or Smoke and Advises Boys
to Follow Example.
J. kTanklin Baker, tha ma whosa
home runs won tha 1911 world's cham
pionship tor the Athletics, would be
great teacher. Yet he recently ut
tered a great truth which should ba
Impressed upon the mind of every
boy In the United States. Here Is
what the great popular hero of the
American small boy has to sayi
'1 don't drink or smoke. Neva did
drink or smoke. If any youngster
wants advice from one who doesnt
mean to preach, there It Is. Leave
cigarets or tobacco In any form alone,
and don't touch 'booze,' now or at any
time. It's the usual advice and don't
carry much weight as a rule, but com
ing from a ball player perhaps it may
mean a little more to tha American
kids."

New Occasions Tesch New Duties
Ssys Rev. Frsnk Qunssulus, Talk
ing of Liquor Question.
God give us a Webster who shall so
interpret the Constitution that It may
be a coign of vantage In tha nation's
fight against the villainy of that slav
ery which unites the saloon and tha
brothel against humanity and govern
ment! Ood grant also a Wendell
Phillips to understand Its desperate, '
bold and cunnnlng crime, to show, us
that we "cannot neutralise nitric acid
with cologne water;" to look away, If
need be, from a past triumph over
human piracy to the coming and fierc
er battle,' and' say, with the orator
whose hundred years of purity and pa-
PHnttBnt am 1nnntif In him wnnlif
"Wa will not aay 'farewell.' but 'all
hall,' welcome new duties! Wa sheath
no sword. . Wa only turn the front of
the army upon a new foe!" Frank W,

THE TWO STREETS.
By Nlxen Waterman,
fwe streets them are In many towns,
A sad on and a fair;
In one. good cheer and peace abound;
In one. a dark despair;
ffn A, Vi llc-ht nt lnv le wAiAA:
In one, griefs bitter tear;
The name of on of these streets Is
Bread,
The name of the other la Beer. . ..
(n Bread street there are busy men,
And happy homes and wives.
In Beer street the degraded dens, , .
And sad and broken lives:
In Bread street Plenty sings her song.
And Labor chants her rhyme,
In Beer street Want la joined . with
Wrong
And Idleness and crime. "
Oh. men and mothers strive to So
The children shun the on who brews
And trust the one who bakes! i
One street there Is their feet should tread, '
And one their feet should fear. (-

Lincoln Was Peculiar. X
Abraham Lincoln promised his
mother, a few days before her death,
that' he would never drink Intoxicat
ing liquor. This promise, made when
i boy, he ever faithfully kept In the
lays when drinking was almost unt
-ral. he was regarded as peculiar.
