Remember that organized charity is
the only safe means Of giving to the
destitude. Now that winter is ap-
preaching it would be we'll for our
charitable people to organize for the
alleviation of suffering and distress
which are bound to come with the cold
winds Of winter. Then by giving 10
more than our people generally give to
those that beg at their doors much more
good could be done. and the undeserv-
ing culled from the deserving. The
undeserving begger generally steers shy
of organized charity.

and beautify it. l would have won I'M
disputed title to the land itself. and you
should recognize my prOprietorship in IL
This sally won loud applause. but the
applause was deafening when Mr. George
had flung back this reply: I thought L
had explained that all Improvements
ought by right to belong TO the improVer.
On that we agree. l go farther. All that
YOU produce out of the land by your
labor should belong to you. II should
