Boston, Jan. 18.—“Let the useless starve, let the unfit die, charity is a disgrace,” is the keynote of a lecture delivered here by Dr. W. T. Porter of the Harvard Medical school, which convulsed religious and philanthropic circles in Boston. “I am speaking as a scientist, not as & humanitarian,” sald Dr. Porter. *Safeguard and promote the health of the children with the funds now given to charity. “As it is there is not monmey to go around for the care and education and training of the children. As there is not enough money, why spend it on charity? Let us spend all we have on the children. “Charity is a disgrace. When the poor are depending upon the charities of town and city they are hopeless and useless from an economic stand- point. “Take the hospitals. We must con- centrate our efforts and means of re- lef upon the hopeful cases. Sternly let the hopeless cases go the way of nature. 't may sound cruel, but it is the only effective way to benefit the community at large.” - HARVESTER MELON TO BE CUT 8tockholders Will Get Big Share of Profits.

IRISH PLEASED WITH ELECTION May Hold Balance of Power in Parliament. éAIN FOR CONSERVATIVES Indications Are That Liberals Wil Control the House of Commons, but by a Largely Dccreased: Majority. Antl-House of Lords Platform Ap. parently Responsikle for the Liberal Losses. London, Jan. 18.—Clear weather and a host of workers on either side using thousands of motor cars and carriages to convey delayed voters to the sta- tion gave promise of a record poll be- ing recorded at the day’s elections for members of parliament. In doubtful districts the party or- ganizers were reinforced by an army of canvassers and few voters escaped In all 104 seats were coptested. Of these 81 were London constituencies and 73 provincial boroughs. Last year the Unionists held 36 of the 104, the Liberals 52 and the Laborites 16. The proportion for London alone was: Unionists 17, Liberals 12 and Labor: ites 2. The city of London itself is quite safe for the Unionists and A. J. Bal- tour and Sir F. G. Banbury doubtless will receive majorities even larger than they had at the last election. One day’s reflection over Saturday’s results has had a far more inspiring effect upon the Liberals than upon the Conservatives and the former went in- to the battle confident of not losing as large a percentage of the seats as on Saturday. . In the seventy-four constituencies voted Saturday the Liberals lost a to- tal of thirty-seven seats. Irish Hold Balance of Power. A corresponding gain for the- Con- servatives would give them a represen- tation of 403 in the next parliament. It looks, therefore, as though the Irish Nationalists will hold the balance of power. The closer the election results the more powerful will the Irish Na- tionalists find themselves and they are the ones who are in particularly high feather over the way the election is going. Conservatives are still hopeful of re- ducing the ministerial majority below 100, which is necessary if the Con- servatives are to exercise any check at all in the next parliament. From present indications the Lib- erals will win a majority of the legis- lators and the Conservatives a major- ity of the popular vote, which is easily possible under the English system of apportionment. - The voting of Saturday showed con- clusively the anti-house of lords plat- form of the Liberals was responsible for most of their losses. Beginning with the day’s voting, it will be necessary for the Conserva- tives to gain 153 seats to be assured of & majority in the parliament. Such a gain, added to Saturday’s gain of fif- teen and their membership in the last parliament of 168, would give them a total of 336, or a majority of one. HEARS OF PINCHOT'S FALL Roosevelt Refuses to Comment on Dis- missal of Forester. Butiaba, Jan. 18.—Word from ex- President Roosevelt, who is at “Rhino camp,” says that he refused to make any statement when informed that Gifford Pinchot had been dismissed from his post as chief forester of the “nited States government by Presi- dent Taft.
