Tbe Crime al Aims GIVING.

AT the South Side Conference of the
Chicago Bureau of Associated Charities
on sunday afternoon, Mr.. Robert Treat
Paine reduced true charity to four lob
5ects,v or rather phases of endeavor.
These wcre:-
First-To give relief promptly. httingly
n tenderly.
second-To prevent unwise ~almsgiving.
Third-To raise the relieved families
into independence wherever possible.
Fourth-To take care that no child is
raised a pauper. Relief, protection, ele-
walton and prevention are the four cor
ner stones of the modern charitable or
ganization.
The giving of aims is the most UNI
benevolent, the most unworthy form of
charity. 1t is a mere product of weak
ness and Incidence in min cases out of
ten. What true charity calls for is an
opportunity given the poor man to earn
what he wants
The public subscriptions started by fake
newspapers to buy food for the poor are
mischievous products of se~nsationalism,
harmful to the givers and the beneiciaries
alike.
The way to give charity is to think of
some useful work on which you can spend
whatever you can afford to give. If you
have ten dollars, have a pair of trousers
made; If you have only five, have your
front door painted. If a dollar is all you
can afford, nave a shelf put up in your
cellar or have some other necessary or
useful work lone for it. This is not
s~elfshness; it is reason and respect for
the poor man. You profit, and he profits
without forfeiting his manhood. The
wealth of the world is not wasted as it
is when you buy bread and you give it to
a worker in return for no effort ave that
OF saying hank you.
tered away and wasted-thrown into the
sea, you might say-on charity every year
in New York were legitimately spent upon
the products of labor, there would not be
a soul in the great metropolis who would
not live on the fat of the land.
1t is all wrong. When men like Mr..
Carnegie and Mr.. Pierpont Morgan and
such like public benefactors' stop maxi
ing great charitable donations. and, in
stead, take to paying every worker fair
wages, mi to spending every available
dollar on the production of wealth, then
we will be near the solution of the prob
lem Of pauperism, and not until then.
