One Year.... One Month ONLY THREE, BUT ENOUGH. | F": Mr. George Haven Putnam the Wagner Committee ha + $3.50 One Year.. + 80 One Month learned that facts brought to light by the Committee of Fifteen in 1901 indicated that certain laws, some of which are still in force, were passed by the Legislature for the purpose of securing ad- | vantage from the sale of the privilege of brealting the law. ‘Mr. Frederick C. Howe, speaking of the best means of establish- ing a real responsibility for the enforcement of law in the city, said | to fhe committee: “I think the first thing for the Legislature to do is to let go of the problem altogether and turn it over to the City of; New York. We can pat it up to the man who is responsible.” Mr. Edward W. Page eaid: “When you get a man who is not of | the highest morai standard in contact with a situation where he is| asked to enforce a lew which he knows is not supported by the ma- jority of the people, and if he finds it is profitable not to enforce it, why the only thing to expect is that lie will put the profit in his pocket and assist the evasion of the lew.” There are many other reasons for requesting the Legislature to keep its hands off our morals, but theee are enough. ne ONCE MORE FOR THE AMERICA’S CUP. ITH the promise of another contest for the America’s Cup next year, and with horse racing about to start again, New York has something like the thrill of a renaiseance in her sporting veins. The very coming of the challenge is an excitement. WX rouses interest and fixes attention. Old yachtemen will feel as young as they did ten yeare ogo, and younger fellows will grow as earnest as veterans in discussing the best means of mecting the challenger. ‘Ten years is a long time between races. No other yachting event in any part of the world makes up for the lack of thie, which stands unrivalled among sporte. That all the victories have been on one side has not diminished interest in each successive contest, for frequently the margins were so narrow as to show there has been no foregone conelnsion in any of them. Nor is there any such con- elnsion now. Sir Thomas Lipton and Britieh yacht builders have not been idle during the decade. They have a yacht they are willing to bet on and they think they may even build a better one. So a dangerous challenzer is to the fore, and good sport im any event. ee Sennen THE POET AND OTHER MEN. os NOYES hes at least one quality of a good poet—ho ir a poor critic and has the courage of ignorance to display it in public lectures. He has ventured, in the same address, to Advise poets to “act and live like other men and make editors stop | ~ feeling that poetry is a mere filler,” and also to declare a conviction thet Emerson is the creator of national poetry for America. The two assertions match as well es a trombone player and a man who wishes to think about something serious. Emerson managed on a few occasions to pat eome good philoso- phy of a transcendental kind into readable verse, though he rarely wrote poetry, and his best thoughts were best said by him in prose ‘Thus he advised poets to “labor for an inward stillness.” Tt was and is good advice. But # cannot be followed by him that wishes to liv: like other men. In all ages he that would be a seer and see vision: mast live alone, even in the crowd. The common life is not for him ‘that seeke to see and feel and know uncommon things. And he thet would make magazine editors “stop feeling that poctry is a mere Can You Beat It? @ CAN You LEND ME Your UMBRELLA MRS JOHN IT" 3.

No. 17—DOROTHEA LYNDE DIX, “the Angel of Mercy.” ) TWELVE-YEAR-OLD New England girl ran away from her Worcester home in 1814. The child—Dorothea Lynde Dix—de cided that her father was doing so much for mankind at large that he had no time to look after his own family’s needs, She \ foresaw that she must soon have the support of her mother and her two brothers or her own hands, and she resolved to prepare for such a crisis. So she ran away to Boston and there threw herself upon the somewha! filntlike mercy of her grandmother. For the next two years she studied night and day. She was wont to say sadly in later times, “I never knew any childhood!” At fourtecn she came back to Worcester and opened a school. She lengthened her dresses and put up ber hair to make her look ‘old enough for a school teacher, Thus she began to earn her family's | whole livelihood. In astonishingly many cases America’s greatest women | began life by teaching school—Harriet Beecher Stowe, Margaret Fuller, Clara Barton, Lucy Stone, Dorothea Dix and a score of othors. At teaching Miss Dix tolled until her mother wan dead and her brothers | wore self-supporting. By that time she was @ physical wreck from overwork and was thought to be dying of consumption. Even as she had been robbed of her childh« #0 one unhappy love affair had also robbed her of romance | And now, her youth gone, she devoted her life hence- forth to the work's well An overheard remark by A Report a man on the street, concerning the treatment meted out rrors. to the Massachusetts insane, started Miss Dix’s career. She visited the local Jail. There she found felons, paupers and lunatics herded together in a filthy room where the thermometer was below zero, From one jail to another she went, finding horrible conditions everywhere, especially among the insane, Then she reported to the Massachusetts Legislature what she had discovered, telling how she discovered the helpless lunatics “confined in cages, cellars, pens; chained, naked, beaten with rods and lashed into obedience.” She added de- tails of unbelievable horror. The whole State was in an'uproar at her revelations. And at once the evils were corrected. Next Miss Dix went to Rhode Island and thence to New Jersey, where she repeated her work. Brutal opposition, insults, sights too fearful to be described, expertences tha* ‘vould have crushed any one else—all the: @ encountered. And her courage ahd wonderful magnetism overcame them. At Trenton, N. J., she founded hor first great asylum for the better care of the insane. And through every State eaat of the Rockies she carried her Jerusade, everywhere fighting and winning against terrible odds, until thirty- two modern asylums were built. criminal were helped by her. Not only the insane, but the poor and the Thence #he went to Scotland and vastly bet- tered the vile condition of lunatics there, so that a Jaw was passed doing ple state of affairs, An orator in Parliament loudly regretted that these tremendous reforms had been forced to await the coming of “a foreigner; that foreigner a woman, and that woman a dissenter.” Thence throughout Europe Miss Dix went on her heaven-sent mission. She was not @ linguist, but ahe made herself and her demands underatoo’. ‘The Pope, the Sultan, the Czar and other potentates were persuaded by her to heta on the grand work. Never before, perhaps, hed any one woman wrought such fneredfble miracles in behalf of humanity. The outbreak of the civil war found Miss Dix back in America and fourneying from battlefield to camp and from camp to hospital. The Govern- e Pbeesescesseesses “That's what warms your eo!

The maugural journey’s route was the insane and other unfortunates. Then, in old age, she retired to the Trenton asylum—the first of many such institutions founded by her.
