not stay at home but went from

lived off of it. For some cause
he lately got it in his head that

KANSAS CRY, December 2-Hundreds
Of destitute persons are applying TO the
Provident association for aid and each
one represents from two to ten persons.
A large proportion Of the applicants ara
negroes. An investigation develops the
fact that white men are, in many in
stances, this winter doing work that last
year was done by the negroes. Of the
number Of employees dropped during the
prevailing hard times, large percentage
was negroes. They are becoming deS-
perste and in several cases the colOrsd
men have been heard to say: "WsmUst
either beg or steal, for we cannot lot our
families stsrve."
But the suffering is not endured BY
the negroes alone, many white families
being almost destitute. With the pros
poets Of long cold winter before them,
the outlook is almost distressing. The
general verdict among the business men
Is that the protection Of society requires
that immediate aid be given these pso-
pie, and an arrangement for helping
them will doubtless soon take definite
shape.
