BY FREDERIC J. HASKIX.
WASHUfGTOX. May 1. (Special Cor
respondence.) The security of the future
of a nation does not lie In its inv4ncible
navy, it far-flung battle line, its natural
resources and its endless whir of fac
tory wheels. It lies in the little chil
dren who will some day be the controllers
of its destinies. It Is only the last quarter-century
that has brought to the Unit
ed States a. practical realization of the
fact that the children must be looked
after ancTtralned to become good citizens.
The law in general recognizes certain def
inite civil rights for each child. It is
entitled to be fed. clothed, lodged and
educated until it Is able to take care of
itself.
The enlightened people of ' the Nation
are going hand in hand with their munici
pal and state governments In an effort
to see that all children have the advan
tages that will elevate them physically,
mentally and morally. In the larger
cities the hospitals are especially equipped
for the care of mothers and their new
born babies; public dispensaries and pub
lic milk stations offer medicines and prop
er foods for those unable to pay for them;
visiting nurses go to the homes of those
wh(K cannot be sent to hospitals. From
the beginning of its life every advantage
Is offered a little child for its healthful
living and when the ignorant parents are
made to appreciate this, the battle for
health will be half won. When the child
is older and starts to kindergarten or
school, some cities even arrange to give
him breakfast when none has been given
him at home. - 1
Making School Attractive. '
His educational welfare was though
upon before his physical and moral heing
was considered, but'now that element has
become only one of the trinity of great
forces working for his good. Nearly 50
years ago the kindergarten had become a
factor in New England education in or
der to make the inevitable "three U's"
more attractive for the little pilgrims on
the road to learning, Later free kin
dergartens with day nurseries came as a
God-send to -the working woman and as
a means of early salvation for the chil
- dren. Ban Francisco early had kinder
gartens for her poor, and it is a matter
of record that no name from the kinder
garten rolls Jias ever found its way to the
records of the criminal courts.
The fact that education may have no
attractions for some of the children of
the country matters little to many states.
The schools are made as atractive as pos
sible, education is really sugar-coated for
those who fancy it a bitter pill and then,
when it is refused, the law arises and
makes It compulsory. Truant officers
and truant schools In many-places provide
for the chronically rebellous, and
through this means all children eventual
ly will be reached. The school houses of
today re most attractive: the best books,
often free, are offered the pupils: a wonder-world
is opened through nature stu
dies; helpless hands are trained for use
ful life in Industrial schools and manual
training shops; manliness and patriot
ism are a part of the dally curriculum,
and even the physical well-being is made
a charge of the commonwealth.
Children Now Seen and Heard.
The quaint sampler, carefully stitched
Viy patient little tlngers of long ago
ftnii hung on the parlor walls as a
tribute to a little maiden's good train
ing in domestic arts, has given place
to the practical tilings of big domestic
Bclencn schools, where real things
have real valuer. The girl of today sits
in college with men and thinks on
problems that feminine minds should
not know years ago. The little boy
of the. big hoop and the red apple who
amilfxf smugly from the stiff portraits
of long; ago. has broken away from his
sedate tutor and among thousands of
hla own age and ambitions is learning
democracy and independence first-hand
in public Institutions that will tit him
for a self-sustaining existence.
The old aphorism that "children
should be seen and not heard" doubt
less caused much anguish to little In
quiring minds In its day, but that, too,
is a thins of the long ago. Children
are both seen and heard today. They,
have come into their own with start
ling promptness. They have voice in
their -own afTatrs nowadays, bavlng
clubs and organizations of their own.
The Children of the American Revolu
tion, 500(1 strong, are Important fac
torb in the preservation of history and
in the fostering of patriotism. The
Hawthorne Club, of Boston, with about
2100 members, all under 14, makes its
own laws for its great play-ground,
and even exacts certain home condi
tions of it members. The Chicago
Newsboys' Protective Association is a
notable factor in civic improvement.
Only a few weeks ago several thousand
children in New York sat for over
three hours hearing tajks on universal
peat ft and took steps to form a league
of their own for tnat purpose.
Teaching Boys Self-Governnient.
Twcnty-flve years ago the Boys' Club
was formed in New Yorkvand was the
first of Its kind In the world. It met
first In a white-washed tenement with
a few college men to direct it in games
and studies. Today Its membership is
5000 and it is self-governing still. On
the heels of this have come other clubs,
clubs for the children of the poor and
of the rich, for the American and for
the foreigner who wishes to become a
future citizen, for the hoot-black and
the newsboy, and the Influence has al
ways been found good and helpful.
A preacher In a big city complained
some years ngo to the police that chil
dren playing In the streets disturbed
his congregation when at prayer, and
naked that the nuisance be abated.
The curt reply from the police captain
was:
"They have no other' place to play:
better pray for sense .to help tbem get
one."
This minister then went down in the
slums and played and prayed and sang
with the children in the streets, and
the public awoke to the fact that chil
dren must play. They turned school-
house basements and roofs. Into play
Itrounds; they made gardens for the
cnildren on vacant lots; they made
room for them on the piers, and set
aside special parts of the parks for
them.
Fresh Air for City Children.
Thirty years ago a big-hearted pas-
r n a t-ennsyivania village tola His
flock of the wan. old-faced children of
the alums who had never seen grass
or flowers or - trees and, when he had
finished, there were sturdy farmers
watting, wet-eyed, to offer their homes
for Summer outings. In a week the
first fresh-air party in America went
out to the farms under the minister's
care. That band of nine wistful chil
dren has grown into an army many
thousand strong that fresh-air funds,
aid societies. Improvement leagues.
King's daughters, newspapers and pri
vate cnarities are sending every Sum
mer into the woods and fields beyond
the heat and glare and smell of the
big cities.
If a parent neglects his child the
duty of its support devolves on soci
ety and provision for its care must be
made some way. It. was a long while
before this -country found some good
way, and too often the little waif grew
up in any fashion it could. The New
York Children's Aid Society, formed In
1S.;1, undertook to place orphans and
half-orphans In good - farm homes,
rather than. In the charitable Institu
tions where individualism Is necessarily
stifled and the inmates made a little
machine. It placed 46 that year, and
since then New York and Pennsylvania
have tried the plan with their state
wa.rc(s. and., found . it good.
Saved From Cruelty and Crinjc.
The first hearing a child had in the
courts of the United States was under I
the art protecting dumb brutes, and
her pitiful complaint was filed on the
form used for dogs. Jacob Riis tells
the .story of this little Mdxy Ellon,
how her scarred body was released
from Its liorse-blanket cover that a
weeping jury and white-faced specta
tors could si-e just how brutal a father
could be. and how from that incident
there sprang a sentiment that has
made the protection of children a law
on the statute books of the state. So
cieties of philanthropic men and( wo
men work with the state, in the en
forcement of this, law .-voii help protect
and educate' the younger citizens of
the great metropolis.
The child criminal, the pitiful product
of a careless state of society, had no
chances nine years ago. He was tried,
convicted and thrust among older offend
ers, making of him a complete loss moral
ly, an expense to the state and a menace
to its happiness. Chicago was the first to
meet this need, and in 1S99 become the
pioneer in the establishment of Juvenile
Courts. The preceding year ad seen
1078 Juvenile offenders in her jails. In
1903 there were 70. Of 715 children paroled
by the courts of that ctty in 1904, only
40 were ever brought- again before the
bar of .justice. The others had "made
good," the spirit of latent citizenship had
been awakened and they were saved for
the upbuilding of the Nation. Twenty
two states now have some form of legis
lation for juvenile offenders and 38 cities
have Juvenile court laws In varying de
grees -of efficiency. Canada. Australia,
England and Ireland are following the
lead of the United States in this matter.
Boys Who Made Good.
A test ofSself-government and a pro
bation system for Juvenile, offenders was
made 12 years ago when - that unique
establishment, the George Junior Repub
lic, came into existence. It was an
altruistic attempt to help a boy make a
good citizen of himself, stimulated by the
encouragement of society. The delln
ouents who came out under parole made
the laws, elected the officers and con
trolled the republic. They made the farm
pay. they learned trades that fitted them
for citizenship and went back among
their people with a clean record and with
ideals that meant an effort toward right
living.
The kindergartner and graded school
teacher and moving-picture man have
invaded the Sunday schools, and the chil
dren of today are given a more practical,
enjoyable doctrine than the one learned
In the stiff pews of' the old catechism
days. The crippled and blind are telng
cared for in hospitals and homes that dot
the ways from Rockaway Beach and
Indianapolis to the Pacific and the Gulf.
Through kindergartens. night schools
and missions, the spirit of progress is
reaching the Ignorant parents of many
children, and in the general uplift that
must follow such an influence, the 20th
century .bids fair to bring aibout the ful
fillment of the old Biblical prophecy "a
little child shall lead them."

Rev. E. Clarence Oakley, of Oregon
City, Creates Furor Among
Members of Congregation.
OREGON CITY, Or., May 6. (Spe
cial.) Rev. E Clarence Oakley, pastor
of the First Congregational Church,
has created quite a breeze among the
members of his church by his wholesale
condemnation of the practice of giving
prizes for card playing at society func
tions. All through this Winter there has
been a great many card parties, and
it is usual for prizes to be given to the
winners. Mr. Oakley said in his ser
mon yesterday morning that there Is
too much card playing in Oregon City,
and protested against the excessive l"-J

Grange Favors Public Wharf.
OREGON CITY, Or., May 6. (Spe
cial.) Maple Lane Grange, Patrons of
Husbandry, has come to the rescue of
the adherents of a public wharf in this
city and Saturday passed resolutions
favoring the establishment of a dock
and promising their support to the
movement. The erection of a free
wharf has long been agitated by prom

received a blow last week by the ac

Investigated Charges Against Ross
and on Clearing Him Promotes
Him He Does Xot Convict
Men on Suspicion.
OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, .May 6. The manner In which
Secretary Garfield disposed of . the report
made against the reclamation officers in
Idaho by a special inspector is an eyi I
dence of the thoroughness of the man who
fell .heir to the work of Secretary Hitch
cock. Charges were made against Engi
neer D. W. Ross and his assistant of
such seriousness th'at they would have
justified the immediate removal of both
men had they been subRtantiated. Being
sustained by an inspecting official of the
Department, the charges were even more
serious than if they had come direct from
Outside Individuals.
Studies Evidence Himself.
Being unfamiliar with theJ work of the
Interior Department, Mr. Garfield had
no personal knowledge of the conditions
existing in Idaho and for this reason was
particularly careful in handling this case.
A great mass of evidence was filed by the
inspector in supporting his report and be
fore reaching his decision Mr. Garfield
examined in detail every paper in the
case and reviewed every charge. , He de
voted the better part of several evenings
to his investigation, and the positive tone
of his decision left no doubt in the public
mind that he was satisfied that the
charges were without foundation.
To further show his confidence in the
Reclamation officers, the Secretary au
thorized their, promotion in accordance
with the recommendation that had been
made prior to the filing of the charges.
Hitchcock Left Charges as Legacy.
Tt developed that the charges against
Mr. Ross were originally made some time
before Mr. Hitchcock retired. For some
reason, Mr. Hitchcock did not care to go
into the case at all, presumably because
he was about to turn over the responsi
bilities of office to his successor, but
when Mr. Garfield came in, he decided
that the charges would have to be inves
tigated, and that in case they were sub
stantiated, drastic punishment would have
to be meted out. The Secretary sent for
the inspector and had several conferences
with him In order that he might have all
the information in regard to the case.
When the Secretary had reached his
conclusion, he gave the inspector to un
derstand that his course in the matter
was not .approved, that his conclusions
were arrived at hastily, and that his rec
ommendations, had they been carried out.
would have done injustice to innocent
men.
Innocent Till Proved Guilty.
Mr. Garfield is undertaking to give this
same care and attention to every Impor
tant matter that comes before himT He
is going slowly to avoid mistakes, for he
realizes that he is in a new field. His
methods are -ery different from those of
Mr. Hitchcock, for he lacks Mr. Hitch
cock's suspicious nature and he acknowl
edges every man to be honest until proven
otherwise. He believes that it is of the
utmost importance that the officials of
his Department should have the encour
agement of their superiors ks long as they
"make good," and it Is his policy under
those conditions to give them encourage
ment. a well as moral support.
Under the new regime fraud will be fer
reted out just as vigorously as it was in
the days of Mr. Hitchcock, but the Inves
tigations will be conducted along different
lines. Care, will be exercised to see that
innocent men are not accused, and in
specting officials will be held responsible
for their reports. If any of them prove
incompetent, they may expect no consid
eration at the hands of Mr. Garfield, and
on the other hand those who exhibit abil
ity and prove deserving will be pushed
ahead.
The action in the Jdaho case is indica
tive of what is to follow In other In
stances. Every man Mill be assured of
a "square deal but favoritism will be
shown to none.

NOTE A coterie of nameless nondescripts, who conduct a "joint" near the river-front, from
which they distribute the millinery refuse of the East Side New York sweatshops, are "knock
ing" at our doors for recognition.. "We must courteously but firmly deny them notice. Just as
the mastiff disdains the black-an-tan cur that snaps at his flanks, so we ignore the snarling pup
pies that hang on our heels. Respectfully,

One of the Important Duties of Physicians and
the Well-informed of the World
is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and' it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed in every -walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing,' therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hom
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long arid favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of
Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle. . . '
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the remedy iSj not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.
