1t lie an encouraging rise of manhood
in our midet that many of our labor no.
bility actually reiuae in their sore need
to be helped by charity organizations.
They know, on the one hand, that these
organizations are largely reimbursed
and run by capital. They believe. on
the other hand, that in order for capital
to be in a condition to offer charity to a
multitude OF people it has as a class
overreached by Legislation and various
| other means ell the other classes, and at
the came time taken advantage of lahore
dependence on it for employment. Con-
seQuently from this claso, which labor
believes to have been instrumental in
depriving 1t OF large proportion of the
fruits OF toll, 1t hangs back from receiv-
ing email doles by way OF charity. 1t
chooses rather to ace the wives and chill
dren in old garments and looking pale
and thin from insufficient nouris b ment
while its unemployed take their chances
either on the road or going about hunt
ing up two-bit job with hunger gnaw-
ing at their vite,s.
Well, now, il the hard heart OF capital
has not become as hard as the metal it
eacritices humanity to protect; il there
yet remains one soft fiber, one seeing
atom in the brain to match, it must per-
force admire this new uplilt OF nobility
In what ia termed the unemployed clase.
Once more-it is supposed that both
capital and labor love their country 4; the
one because it has abored and suffered
on her virgin soil, the other because it
has made money olt of her. And not
only is it expected that we love our
country Gs whole, but, likewise, in
even greater measure, that particular
spot where God and destiny have cast
our fortunes.
In speaking thus, we have in mind
that lair and already famed spot of
South California, and upon which two
beautiful cities are rising into greatness
we mean, of course, Los Angeles and
Pasadena. These cities, to their honor,
have linked hands in project calcu-
lated to give capital and unemployed
labor an opportunity also to link hands
in manner not to humble labor, but to
show that the former appreciates this
higher rise of manhood in it's companion
and would fain do what lies in its power
to encourage and develop this new nobi-
litv in our midst. While there is an
opportunity for both to show love for
and pride in the home spot.
This boulevard, which grsw out of the
women's wish to help the unemployed
and who also sympathized with tbs feel
ing OF reluctance to accept charity, will
be something if carried out to render all
concerned rightly proud of having been
in it, whether as capitalist. laboIer, pro-
jector or humble sy mpathizsr. 1t ia to
be done by individualistic enterprise, if
possible, since if carried out in a social
istic manner, bonds would have to be
voted which would cause tedious delay
and untold suffering. Besides it ia OF
present out of the power OF either coun-
ty or municipality to do more than en-
sure good roads of 80 feet width, while
the boulevard is to be 100 feet in width,
oYnamented with trees, and not only be
good road but charming driveway as
well for our visitors, our young folks and
sllswho enjoy aeeing nature made better
by art.
