Hnndwink the blic.

"These, Mr.. Patterson, are men repre-
sented by the Associated Charities andOther
organizations, which owe their existence
to hoodwinking the public, as unworthy Of
charitable consideration. with inclina-
tions to steal, as natural as those to eat
and who are too dangerous to be allowed to
run at large; men whose homes ought to
be our iails, warehouses and prisons, but
believe thatif the truth were known they
are less dangerous to society, as rule,
than those who cry them down and batten
upon their uiSfortunes.
''As a further expression Of these mems
gratitude have received during this
twelve years sums of money by mail vary
ing from 81 to $40, amounting IL all to
SI63, and in many cases there was no name
inclosed to show from whom it came.
Now compare, if you please, this silent
tramp method of helping others who
might come along, with that ofan organiza-
ton that puts the names and the addresses
of its applicants in the daily papers to de
ter others from applying for assistance,
through dread of the same humiliation,
and then with colossal gall credits itself
with the good work accomplished by our
brass -buttoned heroes, whose noble deeds
of charity like the dangers they encounter
and the hartiships they endure, are seldom
remembered as they should be by an other
wise generous public.
