~ to be expected that the submerged
million should be more energetic in the
work of reform.
But the negroes of the South and the
denizens OF the tenements in the great
cities are nat alone in dwelling ir
houses that are but bitter mockerics
of home. The problem comes nearer
Maine. Only yesterday we read in the
Portland Press the account of the
monthly meeting of the Associated
Charities Of Portland. in which the
local tenement house problem was dis
cussed. One speaker. no less a man
than Rev. DIR. Blanchard, said that
there are many tenement houses in
Portland which are overcrowded and
nothing but rookeries. He had hoped
that there were no buildings of this
oharacter in the city, but on looking
into the matter a little he had become
convinced that there We're some houses
On York and Commercial streets which
are as bad as any which could be
found in the greater cities He spoke
of one in particular in which there are
now living Al families where there is
not room enough for more than four.
Other speakers followed in the same
vein. describing from their own OBJ
servation the conditions of misery and
filth prevailing in some sections of this
Maine city, where the indolent. igno-
rant and criminal foreign element
occupy their narrow quarters. Such
conditions seem an accepted part of
great city. regrettable as they are, but
in such cities as Portland, We expect,
different things of the property own
ers and the health officers.
1t is a pity that such conditions
should exist in any city or any section
Of our land. Poverty there will prob
ably always be. but poverty does not
Of necessity mean the filth and the
wretchedness that inevitably accom-
pany such overcrowding as has been
described above, an overcrowding that
stultifies and brushes the bodies and
minds and souls Of the victims. A
house without love is not home; nor
is it a home where families are herded
in single rooms. The loveless house

work out its own salvation. The prob
lem Of overcrowding is more tangible.
and can be solved by the united efforts
Of our Christian men and women. and
by the intelligent application Of
humanitarian and sanitary principles
by property owners. builders. health
officers. and charitable organizations.
Let us hope the dawning of new CEN
tury will see long strides taken toward
its solution.
