the demand on the generosity of the
world has been met and the survivors

Nothing could he finer than the re-
sponse which the people of this country
made TO the cry for help from Martini

lion of the government at Washington.
in which it led all the world, Is reflected
by private beneiicence all over the

Other people might remain inert and
unresponsive before the great calamity
which overlook many thousands of
human beings i'm the West Indies This
is not the American habit. - the pres

distress Americans see duty before
them to relieve that distress and miti-
gate the calamity to that extent at
least. This has come to be fixed prin-
ciple ingrained i'm their nature, so the
news of great misfortune and corre-
spending distress is met by subscrp-
lions before there Is time even for re-
lief organization ana appeals for aid.
The American response to the West
Indian calamity illustrated this in a
striking manner. Donations have been
coming in in an uninterrupted stream
of magnificent proportions from every
quarter. This is as ii should be- There
Is little danger of the consul being
troubled with an embarrassment of
riches through the excessive llberality
of the people. If the relief organiza-
tion shall receive more money than Is
required for the present need no harm

has seen the benefit OF q Permanent
Relief association, with funds ready on
the instant when Il great calamity calls
FOR Immediate aid. If out of this mighty
West indian tragedy the nucleus Of a
permanent national relief fund should
be established n residuum of good will
be left out of this great misfortune.
Americans have been charged with
being controlled by n commercial spirit
and devoted to the worship of the al
mighty dollar. Americans are willing
to hustle. to toll, to risk much to get
that dollar, but they get 1t to Use IT,.
and they have never insisted on using
1t exclusively on themselves. 1t Is be-
cause they get 1t that they are able to
give it, That they are willing to give
1t to alleviate distress promptly, liber-
ally. without prodding or prompting or
waiting to see what others will do,
shows that this spirit of commercial
ism in the acquisition of wealth gives
place to the spirit of the good Samar-
tan in its disposition.
