OUR POOR PEOPLE.
Mr. Edward Wilder Advanses Soma
Vuorom Ideas
AT TH3 LIBRARY HALL EEETI5S.
Called by the Anc t-il Cliarite to
Uitcmi Whst t lall ba Done IVitU
the l'oor Xext Winier.
There was not a very largo attendance
at the meeting of the Associated Cuari
ties of the city at Library hail yesterday
afternoon. It was representative, how
ever. Amoaif those present were Treas
urer Edward W.ld.sr of the Stuta Fe,
Eugene Ware aud .tiny or Harrison. Sav
tral ladies were also present.
In calling the taeetinj to ordar and
touchintr upon its aims, the president,
Rev. H. Lu smith said:
44 We are here to discuss first, what
ehall be our source of income far the
next year. Last year it came from d a
tioua publicly jjiveu at a tusetiag at ltep
renoutaiive hall, from private d joatioas
uud from the tjrooeed of a public eaier
tauiBieut, 1'hii year it wid ba much
harder to get aid lur the poor from the
jjubiic
"oecond, are wj go'ns to operate in
harmony With thj county commissioners
and refuie aid lo the curouio c.ijOi aud
thus force them to the poor house?
"I hird, cau we uot arrae a
plan
by
which we cm provide wont for ad at a
low rate, uui id it possible lo provide
work for tue women at ail?
"Tuere are to te mora poor people in
TopeKu this 3'ear tliat. wai ueeJ our heip
thau ever before, perhaps, and I thiuk it
wili be much batter for ail concerned if
the needy men can be given work at a
low rale than if help were supplied them
tree. To do the latter lends to destroy
their indepauJeuce aud pride.
"Let ua lirst cuuiiJer tueu what shall
be our pain for raising1 money?"
There was no rea-.iy response and after
a moment's aiieuce . r. W ilder eaid: 4"It
seems to me a mistake to sjlicit money
to give ouiriht to the poor. It is a
direct tempialiou to unworthy people who
would otherwise be well able lo taKe care
of tuemseivei.
"Last year a great deal was given by a
few persons aud it ii not fair to make
the lew do it all. Tue poor belong lo all
of us and the nearer we can force the.n
on to the tax roll of the county ihe near
er t ight we shall be in the sjiution of the
queaiion. Ihe best way is for the
curouic cases to go to the poor farm
where they can be tnkeu care of. The
closing of the reiief dpot is a ufove in
that direction. We are a part of the
county aud it should see to our poor.
"We must provide woik for unskilled
labor (skilled labor is able to take c.t re
of itself) at just enough to keep the
members of that class from starving. I
do cot mean to grind anybody down, but
it ia the best method of getting them out
of the class of dependents on Charity. A
man could ord.uarily just keep from
starving, if he hasn't too bi a family, uu
tifly cents a day, I should liiiuk.
"The county has a loeii quarry out at
the fair grounds and the men could be
employed there and the rock used on the
roads. If we inaKe each inau do $1.25
worth of work for lifty cei ta that allows
us to keep two and one-half men from
ttarviug on the price of one man's hire.
Men that are deserving would Le glad to
get the chance. If a man is able bodied
and starving and would refuse the
chance, 1 believe I would almost be in
favor of lett.ng him starve. We must
do it that way lo keep just as many men
as possible. We cannot afford to give
work to all at good wages.
"We couid use the rock on the roads.
The iiiirimgame road neeli it, the road
east of ihe lairgrouuds needs it aud do do
several other roads that we all know
about. It is not imperative perhaps. but
it would be a good place to put the labor.
1 am for good roads.
"If Ihe new bridge over the Kaw at
Kansas avenue is bunt, it will furnish a
further use for the sione. And in this
connect Jti led me s ay tint it has bee i
ouggeted that the bridge could be short
ened materially by the romoval of the
islai.d to this si!.. All tl.is vuuld givo
ihe idle meu work in the future.
"I uu not wish it understood that I de
sire to grind unyb-dy down. I believe
in labor getting good wage the very
Lt that can be paid when there is a
demand for it, t ut this is luxury work
simply to keep men from starving till
they cau t,ei soinethi ig Letter to do. 1
wish ihe city improvement levy couid be
increased to help out ou this.
"The work ought to be hard 9o it
would not be templing. I would not
favor letting a ma:i do just fifty cents
worth of work a day becau-ie he i gelling
only fifty cents. I have very little use
for the man that does rot want to do
more work than he is renlly paid for.
"1 would suggest, then, that a commit
tee be appointed to present this plan to
the board of county commissioners and
to the city council."
2o oue cou.d think of a better idea
than this, and the motion was formally
made and carried. The president ap
pointed Mr. Wilder, Mr. Ware and Hev.
li. Wake as member of that committee.
Mayor Harrison suggested that the
city authorities ought uoC to be expected
to take care of the poor as the cities of
the first cia;s were uot given a bureau of
that kind, ile said that the c.ty of To-
peki paid seve.i-tenth of the tax that
t he poor of the county U supported on
and the county ougut to look after it. lit
had no objection though to aeeing what
could be Uou about increasing the im
provement levy to give poor men em
ployment through tue winter. The legal
.ispeeia of the caso will be looked at.
Ihe chronic cases were not yet satis
factorily disposed of aud the president
suggested that the committee bo further
instructed to ask the county commission
ers to send the chrouics to the poor farm.
Ir. Ware made the motion and it car
ried. Tho ladies, vrLo had taken do part in
die discussion, were then informed by
President Smith that they must get along
ith the cases they had on hand as best
,hey couid, for there was no money in
he treasury "and people don't give to
ohariliea readily in August." Mr. Har
rison suggested ihat it might be a good
.ime to collect winter ciotue.
That broke up th mealing and it was
tdjourned.

WHAT BECAME OF IT?
An Ordinance Suppressing

Bat It Appears) to Have Been Lost
Miff lit Or. Somewhere.
"I have been expecting the papers to
roast us because of the existence of these
policy shops," said Captain Gish of the
police force to a Journal reporter. "I
am surprised that it has not been done,
but their existence can not be blamed to
us because we can't help it. There is no
ordinauce that reaches them and I have
repeatedly asked the city attorney to
draw up an ordinance through which we
can close up these places but he has not
yet done it."
City Attorney Tillotson when asked
whether Captain G.su had approached
him on the subject of a policy shop ordi
nance, said that he had. "1 did draw up
an ordinance," he said, "to reach the
policy shops and it is my recollection
that it was introduced at a meeting of
the council aud referred to some commit
tee, but which committee I do not re
member." Cay Clerk McFadden said he did not
remember of such an ordinance ever
having been introduced and there is no
record of its ever being before the couu
cil. Councilman Bradford said: "If there
is any way to reach these lotteries aud
policy shops I. am in favor of it I un
derstand that there is a place in this city
wuere lottery tickets are sold as well as a
place where a policy game is played 1
am in favor of taking some measure
which will effectually close all such
places. They are a bad thing because
they take money from the very people
who are least able to spare it. 1 do not
think an ordinauce was ever introduced,
but there was some talk about the policy
shops when the slot m teniae ordinauce
was adopted, but it is my recollection
that nothing was ever done."
There is a policy shop on East Fifth
street which does a big business and
where drawings take place every day at
noon. The wiuniug numbers are placed
conspicuously on a blackboard, where
they can be seen from the street. Its ex
istence is tio secret aud it is patronized
by all classes.
The busiuess has reached a 6tage when
solicitors are sent out to secure business
aud many a business man ou the avenue
has been importuned to try a hand at the
well known game of policy. A Jocrsal
reporter was in a leading drugstore a
short time ago when a policy ageut came
in and approached the proprietor aud
tried to iuduce him to try his luck in the
drawings. He madj no pretense of keep
ing his business a becret.
The city atturuey says that if the ordi
nance drawn up has been lost another
will be submitted to the council which
will put the police in a position where
thsy can clean out the pol.cy shops if an
ordinauce is all they need.
