I HAVE no great confidence in organized charities.
Money is left and buildings are erected and sinecures provided for a good many worthless people.
Those in immediate control are almost, or when they were appointed were almost, in want themselves, and they naturally hate other beggars. They regard persons who ask assistance as their enemies. There is an old story of a tramp who begged a breakfast. This is the general attitude of beggar toward beggar. Another trouble with organized charities is the machinery, the various methods they have adopted to prevent what they call fraud.
