In olden times the work of charity was
unorganized. Each gave as his feelings
prompted, the charitable worked without
any common plan. As a result, the un-
worthy secured the aims distributed. The
deserving poor who shrink from public gaze
and refuse to make their wants known. suf-
fered I'm silence. A knowledge of these
facts has aroused benevolent people to
consciousness of the necessity of co-opera-
ton and system in the work of charity. we
have begun to look for the causes or pauper-
ism and to investigate the sources OF this
wretchedness. We look at the dependent
and consider whether he Is worthy. We
realize that unwise charity not only per-
petuates but produces misery. A modern
sentiment has arisen, more Intelligent ana
humane than the unthinking sympathy of
the past. What we bestOw shall encourage
virtue rather than vice and put premium
upon exertion rather than idleness. 1t has
been said that our forefathers had no
thought of anything but temporary relief.
If a man was hungry, TO feed him for the
day was their motto and practice; IL man
was naked, clothc him. They responded to
the cry of distress but did not investigate

JERRY SIMPSON AND HIS SOCK

JERRY SIMPSON AND HIS SOCKS.
Pittsburgh Chroncle-Telegrapn.
1t is announced now, by man who
processes to know whereof he speaks,
that the Hon. Jerry Simpson, of Medi-
cine Lodge, Kansas, really does wear
socks.
Furthermore, it is said that he has
always worn them since he quit being a
barefooted lad, and nothing could induce
him to discard them.
This makes the case against the
"sockless statesman" stronger than
before.
He said he would wear no socks
while the Government of the United
States imposed an import duty on wool.
That was principle, though of poor
quality, because he could wear American
made socks, on which there is no duty.
Now, however, if it be true that
Simpson really wears socks, he has OBJ
tanned a widespread notoriety under
false pretenses. 1t is all buncombe.
We shall have to write down the Hon.
Jerry Simpson as political fraud
Most politicians have some head
power, but Jerry is noted for his pedal
peculiarities.
Speaking of the latest revelation in
this matter, the Chicago Ne1oS says:
"We regard the announcement that the
Hon. Jerry Simpson really does wear
socks as the severest blow the West has
received since the Sweet Singer OF
Michigan married lumberinan and
quit poetry to superintend shingls
mill"

NOVEL TRUST PROPOSED.

New York Press
This seems to be an age of trusts. In
spite of the measures taken to reprcss
them these organizations continue tC
exist and multiply. Sometimes they
make their appearance in the most un-
expected quarters. For instance, the
Western farmers who have suffered fire.
quently from monopolies, and who have
always been foremost in denouncing
trusts of every sort, are now engaged in
an effort to organize gigantic trust OF
their own. The Farmers Alliance, of
Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, and Missouri
propose to perfect an organization that
will absolutely control the grain and
cattle market of the United States.
What they seek is, in brief, to be able
to corner through the Alliance the
grain and cattle product of the great
West. 1t is interesting to note that a
similar movement was announced not
long ago among the cotton growers of
the South. 1t is hardly probable that
the new Western agriculture trust will
prove successful. The obstacles in the
way are too great. All such movements
are well worth the attention of students
of social and economic progress. 1t is
certainly odd that the farmers of the
West have suddenly turned from con-
demning trusts to organizing them for
the benefit of their own pocketbooks.
Probably the inconsistency of their
course does not strike them as forcibly
as it does the rest of the world

WHERE OUR WHEAT GOES.

National Stockman.
In the year 1890 this country exported
1921, $50 bushels of wheat, of which
Great Britain took 33,967,757 bushels
or nearly SO per cent. France took tie
next largest quantity, or 5,339,624 BUSH
els, all other European countries taking
$3.50, ,979 bushels, British North Ameri-
cas- share was 1,998,S79 bushels, while
910,679 bushels went to South America
Of wheat flour we exported 11,319, ,45O
barrels, the equivalent of 56,597, ,250
bushels of grain, which means that more
than one-half the wheat going abroad
was milled before it was exported. OF
this Great Britain was the purchaser OF
6,SS8, 72S barrels, or nearly 81 per cent
Continental European countries bought
-four sparingly; but we sold l, 1862, ,739
barrels for the West Indies, 1,101 ,072
barrels for South America, and 600, 1921
barrels to go into Asia and Oceanica.
AS compared with the calendar year
1899 the year 1890 showed an increase
of 3,660,602 bushels of wheat and $685.
693 barrels of flour, gain of 8 per cent
in wheat and 81 per cent in -four
Last year we received $3.50 per bushe
for the wheat and $4.65 per barrel fol
the flour exported; against 84.4c fol
wheat and $3.50 for flour in 1889. The
total value of the two footed up S95,
057,356 in 1890, against $SS,747, l41 il

FOUR IRISH POETS.

An eminent critic has said that there
are three absolutely perfect dramas
perfect in unity of plan, delicacy of ex-
preston and fine satire. OF these he
gave first place to Sheridan's "School
for Scandal" and second place to Gold
smiths "She Stoops to Conquer" Both
authors were Irish, of what we may
politely call the adopted race. The
Sheridans were wits for tour generations,
and the grandfather of the great drama
tist lost his chaplaincy at Dublin by
preaching on the birthday of George 1
from the text, Sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof" He died in poverty,
but witty to the last, not allowing a
day to pass, says Lord Cork, without a
rebus, an anagram or madrigal."
Richard Rrinsley Sheridan's career
was one continuous romance, and it can
not be decided whether he was greatest
as a wit, dramatist or an orator. Oliver
Goldsmith was thoroughly Irish, not
withstanding his father was a clergyman
of the English establishment -"more
Irish than any Irishman ought to be-"
said his English friends, meaning that
in prosperity he enjoyed life too well to
prepare for adversely. Far more Irish
than either of them was Dr. William
Maginn, whose poetry has been rather
overshadowed by his prose writings. He
was born in Cork in 1898 and lived till
1912, and belongs, therefore, to this
century, while Sheridan and Goldsmith
belonged to the last. Samuel Lover is
another writer whose prose has thrown
his poetry into the background, yet he
wrote few songs now known to all
English speaking people, such as Rory
O'Moore," "Molly Bawn," The Four
Leaved Shamrock" and The Angels
Whisper"

THE Democrats of Keysville, Ca, got
into fight in their last local election
and the result was the election of two
Negroes to the city council "The Red
Shirts" have sent missives to the Negroes
informing them that it would cost them
their lives to accept the offices to which
they were fairly elected. As the most
prominent citizens of Keysville have
added their approval to the red shirt
manifesto the colored councilmen will
probably tender their designations.
"Your life or your 9ffice" is the high
wayman demand made upon them by
the superior race.

WHAT WAS DONE.
THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED BY THE
FIFTY-FIRsT CONGRESS.

The WORK ACCOMPLISHED BY THE
FIFTY-FIRsT CONGRESS.
In the Fifty first Congress 14,033 bills
were introduced in the House and 5,129
in Senate. In the Fiftieth Congress
1864 bills were introduced in the
House and 1000 in Senate. In the
Fifty-frst Congress 297 joint resolutions
! Tor % more than the number introduced
in the Fiftieth) were introduced in the
House. In the Senate 169 joint resolu-
tions GA more than in the Fiftieth) were
introduced. The bills that became laws
during the Congress just ended num-
bered 2,106. In the Fiftieth Congress
1924 bills were enacted. The number
of bills, etc., introduced in the Fifty-first
exceeded by 20 per cent the number in
troduced in the Fiftieth Congress.
During the Fiftieth Congress 161 bills
were vetoed, and during the Fifty-irst
Congress IA. Among the bills which
have become laws are these: The copy
right bill, the private land court bill, the
postal subsidy bill, the Indian depreda-
tions claim bill, the timber and pre-
emption law repeal bill, the customs
administrative bill, general land for
feiture bill, the bill to relieve the
Supreme Court by the establishment of
intermediate Circuit Courts of Appeal,
the United States judges salaries bill,
the Worlds Fair bill, the Wyoming and
Idaho admission bills, the anti-lottery
and anti trust bills, the reapportionment
bill, the immigration bill, the bill to
ratify agreements with various Indian
tribes and to pay the friendly Sioux
100000, to reduce the fees of pension |
agents, to pay the French spoliation
claims, the meat inspection bill, the bill |
to prevent the importation of adulterated |
food and drink, the live cattle and hog |
inspection bill.
The enactment of a measure to extend |
the Jurisdiction of Federal courts will |
undoubtedly relieve the overcrowded
docket of the United States Supreme
Court. The act provides for additional |
Circuit Judges, who will call, in con-
junction with Justices of the Federal
Supreme Court, an intermediary Appel
late Circuit Court in certain cases be-
tween the lower courts and the highest
judicial tribunal in the country.
Another measure of Importance that
became law in the second session was
the direct tax bill, which provides for
refunding the amounts levied in certain
States under the direct war tax of 1861.
This bill became famous in the Fiftieth
Congress through the long and weary
deadlock in the House, caused by the
efforts to pass it. 1t was disposed of
quietly and without any great show of
resistance in the Congress just ended.
Contests for seats held by Democrats
in the House were made by Is Repub
licans. The Elections Committee de-
eided IL of these-l1 in favor of Re-
publicans and in favor of Democrats.
The House seated 8 Republicans in
place of sitting Democrats, and declared
the seat of l Democrat vacant. The
House adopted the report of the COM
mittee in every case presented.

THE statement of the census bureau
in regard to the population of Louisiana
shows how concentrated is the colored
population in the greater part of the
State. In thirty five parishes the colored
people outnumber the whites fifteen to
one and yet in the whole State there are
only about eight thousand more colored
people than white. The cities of New
Orleans, Baton Rouge, Natchez, and
Vicksburg have gathered in the white
population to large extent and the
plantations are given up to the eolored
race.

General Assembly are carried out the
refunded direct war taxes will not &c
very far toward reducing the burden OF
taxation in Ohio, as was expected AL
ready there are jobs enough on foot to

taxes and the money has not even been
repaid yet. A Democratic Legislature
may safely be trusted every time to get
rid Of the money.
