trust themselves to pry the chest open wider
and wider until it leaks a fluent and Deren-
NAL stream of dollars. THIS bill. therefore,
and all bills of It's kind, ought to be kept by
Congress long distance behind any chance
of passing. We all have the tenderest sym
pathy for the blind. And 80 we have for the
deaf and dumb, and the insane, and the fee
be-minded, and the ruptured and crippled
Tor that matter. But none the less are all
these plans to transform the Federal Gov
ernment into charitable institution the
widest folly and extravaganza Of dreamers.
The Federal Government was not made for
any such purpose, and 1t cannot be perverted
to any such purpose without the most pernl-
cious results to everybody and to every ln-
terest in the country, and especially to the
cause of charity and to the bencticiaries them
selves.
