odder cases dis club won't cum down wild

in dis kentry am curious thing.
ut insists dat cherry man shall arm his
own libin, an den it turns in an supports
de class who will starye sooner dan work.
1t am de enemy of whiskey, an yet as
soon as whiskey makes pauper it supports
him.
at fiatters de man who gets few dol
lars ahead, an yet demands sheer of dat
money to aid de idle an dissipated.
'.Public charity comes as near bein a
bold faced fraud as any sentiment you kin
name. 1t encourages laziness by providin
fur de families of drunkards. 1t encourages
immortality by providin' homes an hospi-
tails for de immoral. 1t encourages the
spendthrift by feedin' an clothin' him all
winter arter he has squandered his money
all summer. Public charity am wall agln
which de reckless, de lazy, de shiftless an
de dissolute lean when all odder props give
way.
Skinner it down, and public charity
means takin' de money which man has
saved by hard work an economy an usln
it to support the man who has squandered
time an money widout car as to what
become of him. 1t am blackmail on in
industry-it am slap at economy-it am
a kick at industry. How does it come dat
dis kentry constantly CROWN in wealth, an
constantly furnishing increased chances fur
poo men to get along, dat pauperism am
also increasin'? Eight-tenths of de saloons
in America am supported by men whose
family need cherry cent dey arm fur clothin
and bread, an who rely on public charity
in case OBJ hard winter. De kentry has
five times as many paupers as 1t had fifteen

as much money to support EN-. Double
