THE WIIOSOEVERJFr IN VIRGINIA.
Its Originator Was the Rev. Dr. Wharton, Now Preaching
at the Lexington Tabernacle.
A HAVEN OF REST .FOR HELPLESS CHILDREN.
A View of the Winnie Davis Cottage-Something of the
Progress of "Whosoever."
The "Whosoever Farm" at Luray,
Virginia, a home for destitute
children, grew out of the work of the
Rev. Dr. Wharton, who is
ducting revival services in Lexington
and that God's hand Is in the labor all
will admit. Dr. Wharton thus
describes the first incident tb.it lead
to the founding of this home for the
helpless:
"About fourteen years ago while I
was pastor in the city of Baltimore I
was walking along the street one day
and met a lady who informed me that
there were three little children of her
acquaintance in desperate eircum
stancesand entirely without assistance.
She begged me to look after them,
stating that their father had been
only requirement being destitution.
This its name imports; it is for 'who
soever' needs its care and aid."
since the institution of this heaven
born home over three hundred boys
and girls have been taken from condi
tions of poverty, have been cared for,
educated and sent out into the world
with Christian independence and firm
belief in the right to make their way
in life. The children of soldiers are
also cared for without regard to the
color of the uniform worn by the vet
eran father. In discussing this
feature of the work Dr. Wharton
says:
"We care for the children of sol
diers also, and are now planning to
build a large stone house to bear the

place for the cenmony. Here the

knowing what to do, I called to sec" a
widow lady of my acquaintance who
had a very comfortable home and no
one living with her except her niece.
I proposed to them to take these little
children upon the condition that I
would be responsible for their board

cimsider the proposition and a week
later agreed to take them.

I IIRIffJMI ISSUE.
Sfnator Vest Says There's No
Hope in the Republican Party
THEY DON'T WANT TARIFF REVISION.
All Reciprocity Treaties Will be Defeat
ed in the Senate.
Senator Vest of Missouri believes
that the next presidential election
will be fought out with the demo
cratic party In line for reduction of
the tariff and the republicans for pro
tection, they by that time Laving
thrown aside all idea of reciprocity.
In an interview given out at Wash
ington a day or two since Mr. Vest
said:
"Republicans don't want tariff
revision, and they don't want recip
rocity that touches a single protected
item on the tariff schedule. I don't
know a republican leader who dares to
stand behind a specific scheme of tariff
reductions designed to encourage the
foreign commerce of the United
States."
Senate- Vest said that his belief at
present is that all the reciprocity
treaties will be rejected, and the re
publicans in the senate will stand firm
against any change in the tariff.
Concerning the miich-talked-of sup
port of republican members of con
gress of the late President McKinley's
reciprocity policy Senator Vest said:
"There is no such support on the
part of republican leaders in either
house. Some of them talk of recip
rocity, but they mean protection all
the time. I believe Mr. McKinley
had reached the conclusion that some
tariff changes ought to be made for
the sake of advancing foreign trade,
but it is a question what would have
happened had lie lived . No one can
say whether his influence would have
been sufficiently strong to alter the
attitude of his party. People who
want tariff changes need not look to
the republican party for them.
"If anybody wants that sort of
tiling he must look to the democratic
party. The tarill is to stand as it is
for the present. How , long it Is to
stand, I don't know, but there Is an
I important democratic opportunity In
in the present attitude oof the republi
can party toward the tariff and recip
rocity. A strong and distinct Issue
for the next presidential campaign
grows out of this republican attitude."
