SURPRISED "TRUSTEES"
la a Ore that destroyed the Children's
Home in Seattle a snort time ago two
little waifs, inmates, were burned to
death. The home was of wood and so
isolated that the tire department could
not get at it. The home was complete
ly destroyed and the other inmates,
with which tt ?&s filled, were saved
only by the heroic efforts of the women
attendants, who were badly injured in
their efforts, But after the fire, the in
vestigation. This from the Seattle
Times:
Surprise that twenty- five children
should be housed in such a building as
the home it Mortimer was expressed
at the mreting of the board of trustees
of the Washicgtou Children's Home
Societ' , wb ch assembled tbi< morning
for the purpose of devising means, etc.
* * * It was discovered that the
place was a veritable fire trap; that the
insurance companies wanted an almost
prohibitive rate for giving it fire pro
tection, and that n > help was nixb in
case of tire. ? ? * Some sharp
criticisms were offend by Trustee E.
L. blaine, who wauted to know why
there were no facili iesfor fighting fire.
The questioa arises naturally iu the
mind of an outsider, as to why THUS
TEG Blaine should have waited until
AFTER THE FIRe to ask t* is ques
tion and why the entire board of TRUS
TEES should have been SURPRISED
at the conditions exisitlog in a bouse
over winch they were trustees,
The work being doae by the Chil
dren's Home is one that should enlist
the liveliest symoa^hv of all. It is the
care of tb 3 oust uafortuuais of little
ones. Whatever ths virtues of tne
management there was also evident
neglect, inasmuch as the directors, if
they lfcked interest enough to enquire
about this important matter, should
have had the information forced on
thorn. The reply of President Shor
rook to the aritteism of tke directcr
should arouse pub) 1# sentiment every
where where similar work is to bo done
and result in * movement to put an enri
to the conditions it describes:
"It was with the utmost difficulty
that we could Induce any person to rent
us a house in wblah to care for our
wards." said President Shorrock. "It
must to understood that the children
are only with us pending their disposi
tion in a suitable home, and we did not
think that we were running many risks.
It is the failure of property ownera to
appreciate the nature and value of the
work that we are doing that should be
criticised, and not the officers of the in
stitution.''
A few months ago a county commis
sioner at Goldfiold, In a public meeting,
was charged with a habit of Issuing
personal checks against a bank where
he bad no funds. A committee was
pent to his home and he was brought
before the meeting and required to
sign his resignation that night. Gov.
Sparks named as his successor one
"Benny" Itosentha1, a sort of political
boss. In all the subsequent riotous and
seditious proceedings, Benny was the
Intimate friend of. and sympathiser
with, the most radical of the dvnamft
ere. Now Governor Sparks has asked
for his resignation but Benny has Qat
ly refused. Goldfleld is comiog to be
ss badly tangled up as San Francisco.
Mr. Vorys, ot Ohio, recently resigned
bis other offices to give his whole atten
tion to the management of the Tait
campaign. That he it working, clearly
appears In the tenor of the Taft speech
es. Mr Taft, capable in the affairs of
the nation, should have engaged Mr.
Vorys on his own account a long time
ago. It is not likely that the big can
ddiate, tractible as be seems to be, will
oe able to follow Mr. Vorys to the
letter however? where the latter tells
him to cut loose from M. Roosevelt,
for instance. It is pretty good advice,
too, but Mr. T.ift couldn't dolt if be
would.
That dear old Oklahoma in going to
afford the rest of the world * lot of en
tertainment a* w? go alonjr together.
Think of the rarioua emotions to be
aroused by such a little news dlspatoh
aa this tbat came out of Oklahoma
city a fewdaja ago:
Twenty-three hundred barrela of
beer, valued at $17 ftOO, belonging to
the New State brewery, waa today
poured iato the sewers of tbi* city by
Uniteu Statea Intern*! Revenue Col
lector Charles Howard. The brew waa
c^mp'eted after Oklahoma becamo ?
state. The state authorities would
not permit its sale and shipment from
t&e state.
It looks aa If the appelate court waa
giving poor old San Francisco an awful
set back.
The frequent variance between law
and ju-tlce is more acd more forced
upon us. Here, certainly, the lower
court represents justice at least,
whether the appelate court represents
law or not
THE SAND
By Archibald Sullivan.
O how the gold sand quivered where it
lay,
Gold face, gold hair, gold limb upon
the lea,
Bound with a thousand silken bands
of sea,
Hearing the waves that lash tbe fading
day.
But each proud wave comes surging
from its place,
And breaks to cool caresses on the
strand;
Plays with its hair, goes wandering
through its hand,
And dies to leave a kiss upon its face.
? January Smtrt Set,
Wanted It Right Away.
