Must We Revert to DrawbrIdses7

10 Guo EQaL01 OF Inc JOuEuals
I appeal to the gods OF the press to
mitigate the plague which has come upon
the patient and long suffering house,
holder. Time was when a mans house
was his castle and only those. who We're,
hidden or had a right to expect a welcome
within it's portal ventured across the
threshold which defined the privacy OF
home. To-day, those Of us who do not
Hive in hotels or apartment houses, ac-
cess to which is properly guarded by JAM
tors and porters,. are overwhelmed by a
succession of unwe1come callers who de-
mand a personal interview and can only be
gotten rid Of by the use of brusque and
imperative measures which are repugnant
to ones own ideas of politeness and cour-
tesy. Shortgof such methods, lit is quite
| impossible. to deny these persistent and
ometimess impertinent intruders, = the adj
mission which they demand and seem to
look upon, by some curious process Of
unique reasoning, as their right. ..3S5gg
To be inundated with mail delivered at
the residence consisting Of begging cir
culars, ham, champagne cheap cigar and
grocers supply advertisements is suf-
Efficiently annoying, but. when: this method
of attack is followed by personal solicitors
who make demands upon ones time and.
on one pretense or another, gain access
to the house, it becomes persecution.
The latest "folloW-up system pur-
sued by some charities is apt to- react and
defeat its own object. The attention of
the householder is first called to the cause
for which aid is solicited by circular let,
ter in which notice is given that the solic-
itor will call personally and receive the
desired subscription. Later, he arrives
and insists upon an interview. 1t Is to
be regretted that the Salvation Army is
pursuing this method of house to house
canvass. ItlcanIot fail to create preju-
dice against the very cause it is designed
to benefit. The Salvation Army is doubt
less an admirable institution, in it's way,
and worthy of support, but it's solicitors
should confine their operations to the bus
mess quarter where they belong and to the
down town district wherein the value of
their work is duly recognized and properly
supported by the business men. If they
persist in soliciting at the home as we'll
as the office, they will inevitably lose sup
port at both places r. :.
If the good but tactless people VINO are
expanding so much energy In inducing
others to contribute to their particular
charity could only realize that household
solicitation has been badly overdone and
has become a nuisance they would gain
a better hearing and far more substantial
aid. by applying for it at the proper place
and IN proper manner. Likewise, If the
enterprising but injudicious advertiser,
who pushes his clamorous and insistent
solicitations so far that they exasperate
and annoy the object of them, could see
how many circulars delivered at the home
are thrown unopened and unread into the
fire, he would know that there is a proper
place in which to advertise but it is not
the one he has chosen. u

Now that the first ward aldermen are so
energetic. it might be apropos to sug-
gest that theylSdirect their energies to-
ward mitigating the cinder nuisance. This
is another question: but tits probably
well incidentally to- make mention Of it
here. For years have the residents Of
the first ward suffered from einders COM
ing from thefmllsEsat the foot of Fourth
avenue NE. 1T has.been said that the mill
has blowers to blow the saWdust through
its stacks, leaving it to the winds to de-
posit it over first ward territory. These
cinders are very destructiye; single
roofs, newly painted houses, clothes hung
out to dry, all suffer from the little Gin
ders. Our attics are carpeted with Gin
ders; they clog up the cutters, fill the
screens, get in. the lace curtains and
beds, and makeslife miserable. 1t. is to
be hoped that the aldermen direct. some
OF their attention toward the abatement
Of this nuisance, and {thus earn the, graft
tude Of a multitude Of their constituents.

she Is doing it of her free will. 1t is
right and proper to protect the home
stead so that the dishonest or foolish
man cannot deprive his wife and children
of a home. but what is there more sacred
about a transaction in city lots than in the
sale OF bolts Of dry goods and boxes of
groceries? It is simply a custom which
has dr1fted down to us from the crude past
