Tell your friends about our paper.
BEGGING
In nearly every paper we read,
we see where some imposter,
begging his way, has been dis
covered and arrested. Imposition
should be stopped but it is as
nearly impossible to ,do so as it is
to stop frauds of other character.
The human race is not perfect
and never will be.
Imposition is made a flourish
ing business. One has everything
to gain and nothing to lose. And
this makes it many recruits daily.
Oily tongued rascals, both men
and women, ply the trade of
beggars. Children are obtained,
kidnapped if neccessary, for train
ing in this business and one child
is often made to support by
begging an entire worthless fami
ly. And then' the multitude of
deaf, dumb blind and maimed
people who roam the country must
be taken into consideration.
One effect of this deception on
the public, is to make it skeptical
and for this reason real meritori
ous cases must suffer therefrom.
At the first blush, one is inclined
to the belief that public begging
should be stopped. On reflec
tion, it must be admitted, that
this course will never do.
What would become of, the
real objects- of charity? The
varied forms, as well as extent of
disaster, make it impossible for
the State to provide by law for
them. The State can only deal
in generalities. Each object of
charity is an individual case, dif
f ering from "its fellows, perhaps,
in many ways. ' True, so far as
they may be divided: into classes
e. g., the deaf, the dumb and the
blind, the State has made suit
atile provision for them. But for
that large number that cannot be
classified, but who are equally de
serving, the State ca n do nothing,
unless, indeed, the entire subject
can be turned over to a board of
charity commissioners to act at
discretion. This last is wholly
impractical. The number of such
beggars in any one county, is too
small tor justify the maintenance
of such a board. The next best
thing that can be done, is to re
quire a meaicai examination and
ceruncaie autnonzing one to so-
Hat alms from day to day. This i
will protect the public to some
extent and will not make if a
hardship on those needing help.
There is one fraud that should
be suppressed by all means. We
refer to those birds of' passage
sometimes called tramps and
hoboes, the real unwashed, who
deserve: nothing. These worth-
less fellows follow the; railroad
linesrrnaking the! towns, stealing
what they can't beg, and oft times
are criminals of the worst type.
On such, the law j cannot be too
severe, j If each town would pro
vide by ordinance, that tramps
will be arrested and put to work,
this custom ,of Irramping from
place to place would be stopped
very speedily.
The question of begging is one
that demands legislation but it
must have intelligent legislation.
But a law prohibiting begging,
would be disastrous to the public
Object lessons are the most effec
tive and if all the objects of pity
and affliction were withdrawn
from the public, the world would
become hard hearted, unkind,
unfeeling, and we would lose
that fine spirit of sympathy and
love which now characterizes us.

Congressman Scores Slashed

The diaphanous gown and its

soundly scored in the House of
Representatives in Washington
the other day by J. Thomas Hef-

Representative Heflin said in part:
Instead of the Scriptural 'By
their fruits ye shall know them,'
I would say 'By their dress or the
lack of dress we shall know them.'

- The Beginning of School :
The public schools opened ast
week, .and there is always 'some
thing pathetic to us that many
little ones enter school for the
first time. , The second era of
their life then begins. The moth
er will stand in the door or go to
school with it think of that 'it,'
no personality as yet and bid it
a good bye to which there will be
little response because of the ex
citement of the hour. The timidj
little ones will cry for mother a
little later in the day,- perhaps,,
but will soon grow accustomed to
the new surroundings. They are
entering a world just -as strange
to therri as ever were untried seas
to the navigators of the long ago,
and it takes days for them to find
a comrade or a shore on which to
feel at ease. They are really try
ing their wings for the first few
days. I presume the girls, at any
rate, have wings at this early
stage, though later all the wngs
hey will claim will be on their
hats. However, we wish them
all smooth sailing, good teachers
for pilots, who will come o their
work because they love it, and to
the pay day with the knowledge
that they are appreciated because
the figures on their check can be
read without the aid of a micro
scope. Bui we refrain, lest a
heavy tax-payer rise in his wrath
and strike us dead. A Citizen.

New President Suggested
At a meeting of tobacco grow
ers who are stockholders in the
Burley Tobacco Company held at
Lexington last Tuesday it was
stated that former Congressman
James N. Kehoe, of Maysville,
would be backed for President of
the Burley organization in opposi
tion to Clarence LeBus at the
election of officers to be held
October 7. ;
Congressman Kehoe, however,
issued a statement a few days
later, declaring that while his
"time is so taken up that he can
hardly give attention to the presi
dency of the Burley Society in
case of election over Clarence
Lebus, and for that reason he
would rather someone else accept
the leadership of the anti-LeBus
faction. He would, nevertheless,
accept, provided the demand came
from a majority of the members
of the organization.
