The Poor Need Work.
From the Chica1n Record


/ The impulse which leads people to allevi-
ate suffering, to help the hungry man to
a supper and the shelterless man to bed
Is commendable enough, but it's effects are
disastrous. Unless this winter in Chicago
is very much unlike the winters preceding.
thousands Of penniless men will be found
on the streets at night begging for help.
Many hundreds more, with their wives and
families, will be suffering at home and call
ing for the bare necessities of life.
y 1t is useless for kind-hearted people to
evade the question by well-meant effort
ITO discriminate between worthy cases
and those which are unworthy. When it
comes to 4 matter Of keeping men from
starving. all cases are worthy to the ex-
tent that the immediate need for help is
imperative and must be met. But the only
true help Is that which not only offers tenn
porary succor, but puts the supphant on
his feet, makes him seif-dependent and self
respecting. This kind of charity cannot be
performed by individual effort. It demands
organization, system and scientific study.

a Mfllionaire's Generosity.
Denver Special to the New York Herald.

Wilbur Scott Stratton. the newly made
millionaire mining king. came to the relief
of II. A w. Tabor. former United States
senator. and Colorado's first millionaire
miner, last week with a purse of ST., 600,
which he begged Tabor to accept as a tes-
timonial for what he had done to develop
the resources of the state.
For many months Tabor has been on the
ragged edge of fortune, and has tried to re-
coup himself by entering the prospecting
field. He staked promising mining claim,
but could not get funds for developing it.
Then he thought of Stratton. and applied to
him for a lean.
Stratton had never before seen Tabor, but
was familiar with his history. He promised
to take the matter under Amusement, and
five minutes later sent package containing
the currency. with a letter requesting Tabor
to accept the money as a gift.
