the benefit a success. and it now only

the proceeds of which went into the
treasury of the Board of Associated
Charities, to be used in relieving the
suffering of the poor and unfortunate
Recently business reverses left Mr..
Davis in very much embarrassed con-
dition financially, and his friends de-
cided to give him a testimonial benefit

gramme is varied and excellent, and
those who attend are assured a pleas
ant and profitable evening. Among

In discussing 1.-THE Work of a Civics

| gested that reforms be gained through
a study and knowledge of the evils In
need of being remedied rather than by
means of combat. He was not opposed
TO reforms or reform movements
though he did disapprove of "cru.
sades." If the Civics club should de.
velop into the usual kind of reform
organization its epitAph might cor
rectly read Il expected it, but not Sc

Education. knowledge, moral ex
ample were necessary to reform work
Such qualities were required in intelli
gent action and action without intelli
gence would be dangerous and certain
ly unfruitful. Good citizens should

parts of National government. A
Scranton citizen could not honestly fine

knew nothing of it's government.
