Senator Hoke Smith has introduced
into the United States Senate
bill to Americanize some millions
of our population who cannot speak,
write, or even understand the English
language. It wolild be better
we think to Americanize the counx

out of it, and then putting down a

CONCERNING BEGGARS.
The arrest of Mrs. Naomi Cambell
lid her husband at Marietta, Ga.,
last -week, charged with all kinds' of
cruelty to children who were inmates
in a home run by them, known as
the Undenominational , Home, and
t the revelations concerning this homfe,
ho* liofc; ,uhw?4 3
to every demand that is made in the
It appears that this home Was run
1
*y$v
iferj ; -. . .
by theee people for no other appar- i
ent purpose than to make 'money. ;
They took the children from the ]
home to different towns, and we be- j
lieve they have been to Abbeville,
and had them solicit funds from people,
many of whom gave perhaps i
thinking that they were making a i
really charitalble contribution, while i
others gave, as people often do, to
be rid of those asking for help.
But it appears that these people 1
were utterly unworthy of assistance.
They were in no way qualified to
conduct a children's home. They
were brutal in their instincts, and
without any of the feelings which
naturally prompt one person to help
another.. But they collected in the
course of a year large sums of money
no doubt.
A man is as responsible for the
money he gives, as for that which he ,
does not give.- It is his duty to give
to worthy objects of charity, and it
is none the less his duty not to give
frt nnwrn+W fkbieets of alle&red1
charity. This duty imposes on him
the further duty of making investi- ,
gation as to all these alleged chari- .
ties.
There is a safe way to give to
people who solicit help for institu- ^
tions of this kind,, and that is to, ,
give what one is able to those insti- .
tutions we know to be operated by
people of character, standing, and
noble impulses, and to refuse help ,
to others. There are many of the
deserving institutions at our doors,
and the good they may do is only
limited by the amount of money ,
which they receive from the public. 1
The/ are hampered in the good they
would do by reason of the fact that ^
too many people hare been giving (
to questionable schemes while sick ,
people lay at their doors. ^
