If Mrs. Demuth, president of tho
Alton Provident association, sue
ceeds in securing the passage of a
law declaring laziness disease and
providing a compulsory cure she
will have solved one of the problems
IF the ages. She may rightly be
termed a woman of courage, for her
experience as a practical worker in
philanthropic fields should make her
familiar with the immensely of tho
task he has undertaken. Yet there
is some difficulty in determining the
course of reasoning that Mr.. Demuth
followed in deciding that laziness is
a disease. The man who will not
work is, according to Genesis, striv-
ing to get around a divine injunction
which decreed that only by the
sweat of the brow should man eat.
But labor is an acquired not q,
natural habit. Still the better a.
man is the harder will he work.
The worse he is the more prone he
is to live off the sweat of some one
else's brow.
Mrs. .Demuth proposes to crue the
disease of laziness by compulsory
labor, preferably in the stone yard
or over a sawbuck. This course of
treatment is no rest cure and SO
will probably be considered dnfa-
vorably by the afflicted fraternity.
Yet, as the medicine prescri bed by
Mr.: Demuth will pay for so cents
worth of provisions q day for q
married mans family, the end
might Justify the mean. And, as
lazinees is catching" the drains
upon charities would be materially 7
