Par-’ ticularly does this apply to New York City, where the incoming eur- rent has run strongest, and where various nationalities have formed groups that tend, from lack of invitation or opportunity, to keep out alde the American civic body. To encourage these people to become out and out Americans, to teach them, even as they learn the language, how the country is governed, to show them how quickly familiarity with its institutions brings love for its principles and loyalty to ita purposes—surely no civic task to-day invites wider co-operation or promises reaults of such vast and vital significance to the nation The Evening World believes there are be applied, on a larger seale than has ye sands of the foreign-born into cloger touch with the institutions and dea eat practical methods that can been tried, to bring thou of the country in which they have elected to live, Tt believeg the application of these methods to New Yo side, for example, will produce marked benefits not only in making more citizens and better citizens, but also in checking crime by thin-| «+ ning the soil in which it grows, It believes the work of the public schools in this direction needs supplementing, and that hundreds of publio-spirited Americans, par-| 3 Pas explain in simple terms to audiences made up of new American citi-| vens and those who are to become American citizens, how city, State rt and nation are governed and why it must be the pride and duty of every loyal American to see that they are well governed ———_—_—_-+- —_—_ The reply of the Entente Governments, which turned out to be a “frivolous, lying document, constituting the last kerne! of untruth,” convinces the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger that “the world is full of devils.” We take it the Prussian capital begins to by sensible of a congestion, ———_- + —___—_.

No. 383—CHARLEY ROSS, the Lost Boy. HARLEY ROSS deserves a place in any list of historic childres. For his name long ago became a household word throughout America and Europe. And his mysterious fate hai rved to” guard millions of other youngsters. Charley was the youngest son of a well-to-do Philadelphi He was a gentle, lovable little chap and strikingly handsome, } On the afternoon of July-1, 1874, he and his six-year-old brother vem: {shed from the sidewalk in front of their house, where they had been play- ing. Charley was four; Walter was six. When they did not return at supper time the Ross family were alarmed and notified the police. At 8 o'clock that evening Walter was safely brought » home by a man who had found him crying on a distant street corner. Mr, Ross asked him what had become of Charley. Walter answered: 7 “Oh, Charley's all right. He's in the wagon.” Bit by bit Mr. Ross and the police got the following story Walter: As the boys had been playing in front of their home men had passed in a wagon. Stopping, one of the men asked children would like to have some candy, Charley answered that would rather have firecrackers for the Ft eee July. The men bade the children climb into i fro two The wagon, and promised to drive them to the m Walter Told. firecracker store, Delighted, the youngsters cl ° awww adourd, and the men drove off with them. They drove a long way. At last the wagon stopped in front of @ store whose windows were filled with firecrackers. The men ~ gave Walter twenty-five cents and sent him into the shop to buy what he wanted. When he came out the wagon was gone. Finding himself deserted and far from home he began to ¢ A crowd collected; ang he was taken back to his parents. But Charley did not return, nor weet there any clue to his kidnappers. For three days the police and the boy's frantic parents and @ Jof volunteer helpers searched the city and suburbs, Advertisomemty. | loffering huge rewards, were Inserted in all the papers, On the mot - of July 4 Mr. Ross received this carefully illiterate anonymous létter: = fr, Ros, be not uneasy you son son Charlies be all rite | we is got him and no powers on earth con deliver him out of our thar You will have to us before you get him from us an@ only bunting for him you pay us dig too.

If State officers and employees in every department conseic tiously earned their salaries by doing the work expected of them their number could probably be cut in half. If it ever becomes unneces- ry to keep tabs on public business in order to make sure that even a quarter part of it is properly handied, State budgets will shrink to reasonable size. If State finances are ever managed with half the! care expended in conducting the affairs of the average private cor-| poration, taxpayers will get something approaching the equivalent of the millions of their money that Maybe it can be done.
