Senator Stanford's Method.
From, the Philadelphia Press.

The other day l asked the million aire
Senator from California 'How would you
abolish beggary"
"There is only one way" he said ''Dry
I'D the sou ce--abolish the conditions that
make beggars. To try to cure poverty by
charity is like trying tc stop a hole in your
roof by hopping up the puddles that gather
on your floorn
| asked him if he would specify the condi-
tons.
Yes" he said, 81 can vaguely indicate
them. Let me say, in the first place, that
it is not millonaires that cause poverty.
Nobody is worse off because the Vanderbilts
are worth 500, 900. If they had not
the wealth it would not exist at all. 1t is
only in those communities where million
aires are possible that the average citizen
has enough to eat. Now what causes pow

found beggars in California in 1850, when
anv man could go out with a tin pan and
earn 50 before breakfast. When by work
ing three hours day man could make his
board and clothes there were always shift
less creatures around wnom the rest had to
support. IL is the same way now. he
soil is wonderfully fruitful there. Merely
20 600 men produce all the wheat OF the
states and export 1000, 600 tons of it every
year. and yet there are beggars. We c II
cut. thresh and sack wheat at an expense
of one and a half cents per 100 pounds, pota-
toes cost only half a cent pound, and -four
is only "a barrel, and yet there is want.
An important cause is unthrift People do
not understand economy or practice it as
almost every rich man has had to at some
time in his life really believe that there
would be beggars in the world before night
if $50 gold pieces were TO be sown broad
cast every morning, and so distributed that
every man, woman and child were certain
to get some.
~ The sale and use Of liquor. AS long
as there are ten times as many saloons in
this country as there are of both churches
and schools. and they are mainly supported
by the very poor, the sources of misery are
pretty obvious.
80 The lack of manual training. This
last need is most serious. II so many
people could be taught trades that the entire
product of this country were doubled next
year the wages would be doubled, either in
increase of money received or in the smaller
cost of the necessities Of life to be bought
More capable skilled hands-that is one of
our greatest needs. My great hope is in my

Bread Climbing Higher.

The steady advance of wheat, which is
the staff of life, is beginning to make
itself felt here III some of the eating
houses. We hear already of a few of
them that have raised the price Of
living. A few bakers casually limited
that if -four climbs little higher they
will be obliged, for their own protection,
to either lessen the weight of the bread
or raise the price of the loaf If wheat
bread should continue its upwar tend
ency there will still be some consolation
left to the consumer. He can eat rye
bread. There has been no rise in rye to
either warrant reduction in weight or
increased price per loaf.
1t does seem like flying in the face of
a fatherly Providence, when, after a
bounteous wheat crop, bread should be
SO high. If instead of threshing all the
wheat right after harvest, some of the
power in the machines were reserved fol
