PARK SERVICE.
AT the park service Sunday evening
Miss Morrow Of Illinois spoke on social
conditions to an exceptionally large
audience. The condition of the poor in
our country the speaker said was be.
cause of low wages received; that the
poor are not receiving sufficient fol
their labor. But she failed to state
that it the wage-earner in this country
exercised proper economy he might be
able to own his own home and in ole
age have a competency. This is true
IN thousands of instances. She failed
to state that those who can least afford
it spend their money for that which is
not bread-namely, for drink. The
hard earned money of too many of oul
poor goes to the liquor dealers of this
country. The time will never come
when wealth will be equally distributed
There are people who are incapacitateC
to make, others have no ambitions tt
accumulate, others still are unable te
save and utilize properly what they
have earned.
: LII the address accomplished nothing
more than to awaken thought and in
terest IN these social conditions, some
good at least was done. That peculiar
conditions are about us, is true, and il
is we'll that we face them, and charity
prompts us to allow free discussion or
, these topics.
