pIunges his hand into his pocket in
response to every attack upon the
sympathies. Modern sociology, how
ever, is changing this ideal somewhat
by supplementing the old text with a
new one: The Lord loveth a careful
giver.'
One may have no quarrel with
the man who gives from impulse. A
generous emotion is not to be CEN
sured; and many people are likely
either to give from impulse or to re-
main self-centered and miserly. Yet
in this matter. too, it is indisputable
that he who deliberately studies the
problems OF charity, and then be-
slows his money in what he regards
as the most useful way, is the nobler
philanthropist.
Years ago some charitable societies
began campaign against indiscrim-
mate aims to beggars on the streets
and at our doors. Most of us know
that the better method of treating
such cases is to refer them to the
proper officers, who will investigate
as to actual needs. We are aware
that the easy process of handing a
loaf of bread out or the back door or
flinging a few cents into a hat fosters
in the long run beggary, misery and
crime.n

HIGHER GIVING. !"

In q recent editorial on The
Higher Giving" the New York Even
ing Post speaks a strong word for a
careful, systematic benevolence as
opposed to the spasmodic giving
which encourages beggary and
pauperism. The Post says in part:
= The Lord loveth cheerful
giver'-so runs the text of the con-
ventioEal appeal for the missionary
cause or other charity. The type of
philanthropist usually called to

BECOMES STATESMAN

Boss Matthew Stanley Quay ssid
two good things at a farewell banquet
rendered him by his political satel-
Htes at Philadelphia the other night.
In the first place he declared that his
career as politician and boss was at
an end. He said:
.'At three score years and ten the
world grows lonely through wilder
nesses. almost desolate, the stream of
life glides darkly toward the eternal
gulf. The associations of early ex-
istence are gone. My political race
is run. 1 will never again be a can
didate for nor accept any political
position. l have many friends to re-
member; l have no enemies to pun
ish. In this regard 1 put aside the
past"
In thus laying aside the armor of
the politician and ending a career full
of political plots and scandal, the old
man seemed to come out upon a
higher plane, into a purer atmos-
phere, for, toward the end of the
speech, he made the following declar-
alton, which comes pretty close to
broad-minded, christian statesman
ship:
''lu China we have but to apply
the golden rule, treat China as we
would have them treat US; recognize
that, despite their savagery, their
empress dowager is the greatest
woman born in Asia since Semiramis,
and Tuan the representative of patri-
otic Chinese thought, and all can be
made well there. Whatever may be
done by the nations with her terri
tory, the Chinese people will never be
divided -

that advertising is as essential as q

said: You must contrive in the
