RIIS.
Jacob A. Riis was born in the town of
Rlbe. Denmark, in 1919, came to this
country in the steerage and nearly sue
cumbed to the privauons attendant on
the life of a poor alien in a new country
and great city. Once he walked on
New York to Philadelphia securing hi
passage across the New York ferry BY
pawning his silk handkerchief al that
was left of what he brought from his
Old home. He worked in brickyards ami
at any job that offered, en- his way ba *
to New York, a few years later passing
night in a cemetery, with fallen tomb
stone as his pillow, and sleepi g as sou"d-
ly and sweetly, he declares, as he ever
slept in his life.
He finally obtained employment as
newspaper reporter, which profession he
has followed ever since. The first three
days in his new position. he has said,
were passed without food and on the
third night he tainted from hunger and
exhaustion. No wonder he has svmpa-
thy for the poor and distressed, having
experienced measure of suffering in
his own life. It was in the pursuit Of
his occupation as a police reporter that
he obtained an insight into the suffer-
ing and misery among the tenement
house population of New York and gar
nered the material which, he set forth
so interestingly in How the Other
Half Lives" his first and most sue
cessful book. Since this was published
he has written The Children of the
Poor" and "a Ten Years War" but,
as he himself has said. he writes his
books only from his experiences and
when strongly impeIled to do so by an
overmastering motive
Recently the Society of Kings Daugh-
tiers of Brooklyn, named their settlement
house on Henry street in his honor.
Bishop Potter, who dedicated It, remark
ed on the occasion, '"Tae sight Of mod
ern reporter who is at the same time
a philanthropist is a novelty which
touches the human heart" This was not
intended as a reflection upon the class

boy who had learned English by reading

He replied in a rather careless way
that he did not feel disposed to change
his viewS-that death, as he believed,
ended all, and there was no use drag

was in the morning. He then felt

instruction" had shown that the feder-
al government was strong enough to en-
force even unpopular laws, the scope of
the direct tax was enlarged, and included,
among other things houses. These were
classified according to their dimensions
and ornate structure. and the tax graded
accordingly, so that it really bore very
lightly upon poor people. However, the
popular sentiment was very strongly OPP
posed to direct taxation. The people had
fought King George and his taxes seven
years and won their point, and they could
not readily submit to what some con-
sidered similar impositions on the part OF
the federal government.
In Pennsylvania where the people had
not become at all reconciled to their de-
feat on the whisky tax question, the OPP
position to the house tax was most pro-
nounC6d. Among other means for making
the required classification of the houses,
the law required a measurement of the
windows. But when the officers went
with tape lines to take these dimensions
they met with such violent opposition,
