Pauperism a Disease.

Public pauperism is really parasit-
ease, due to the very ease with which
assistance can be obtained. Man, like
every other organism, takes the path
OF least resistance. Once relieved of
the necessity for the struggle for exist
ence, he ceases to struggle, and his
power of work atrophies. He then
lives at the expense of the organism
TO which he is attached, says a medical
authority. There Is large class CT
men who derive good incomes from
railroad accidents which they skillful-
ly bring on. 1t is even reported that
men have voluntarily suffered serious
injuries even to the point of losing
legs. and all for the sake of the pen
sion. Since Biblical times, and long
before, paupers existed in every civil
ization, but it is only within century
that they have become a dreadful pub
lie burden; they were formerly more
apt to be hangers-on or retainers of
the well-to-do. The appalling increase
of public paupers in England is now
being duplicated in America, and it is
a real disease of society, a disease due
10 an abuse of natural laws. 1t follows
the rule of every disease due to atypic
and abnormal cell growth of any kind.
From being benign, it can become
malignant and can injure the organism
(soCiety) or even destroy it. 1t is a
very natural result of our necessity to
save every human life and prolong it
40 its greatest length. 1t therefore be-
hOoves physicians, who are more vital
~ interested in the matter than any
other class of life savers, to look into
the cause of the disease and the rene
dies. 1t is to the interest of every
worker to reduce the number he must
support in idleness, so the problem
comes home to every citizen. 1t is
even found that large pension is apt
to curse a man instead of blessing him,
for he ceases the struggle for living
and is content with mere food and
lodging. Nothing is more pitiable than
the state of men who are pensioned
too soon. 1t is sociologic necessity
TO render aid only when it is needed
and compel men to keep up the strug-
gle for existence. The present trend
oil thought is in the direction of reliev-
ing society of it's burdens and shifting
them to the shoulders Of the individual
families or relatives In addition,
there is a growing protest against the
indiscriminate and maudlin charity
which is thought to be responsible for
The dreadful increase of pauperism.

Keep Going.

Eve must all either go forward or sc
back said reflective man of affairs;
there is no standing still in nature
This is truth that applies peculiarly to
the business world. Young firms grow
because they have not yet become
slaves Of old-time methods. Old houses
of business have tendency to drop GU.
OF existence, unless there is constant
infusion of new blood. Habit and custom
keep them in old ruts, and as it is becom-
ing less and less possible to merely mark
time in commerce, they are gradually
edged out of existence by stress of COM
petition. My advice, then, to those who
want to succeed in life is to keep going.
Keep putting out new ideas, new meth
DDS. and new developments. 1t is the
only way to keep abreast of the world
whether in your individual life or in a

WASH IN RUNNING WATER.
Public Drinking Places in Buenos
Ayres Must Cleanse Glasses
That Way

They do some things better in Buenoa
Ayres than we do in this country" said
former Milwaukee man. who has spent
many years in Argentina
1T may be considered a small matter
by some, and yet one ironclad regulation
down there always struck me as emf
nently sound-a regulation providing
that all glasses used in barrooms. saloons
and public drinking places shall be
washed in running water. The idea is
that by cleansing them in water that is
used over and over there is good chance
for the transmission of disease Inspec-
tors are always on their rounds seeing
that the law is observed. and woe to the
man who is found derelict in it's OBJ
servance. Buenos Ayres. by the way. is
kept as clean as any city in the United
States, and is one of the most progress
sive towns in the world.
when man dies down there it does
not matter whether he made will dis
posing of his property, of not. The law
of the country comes into play. and d.
vides all his possessions equally amor
his heirs. Not one of them can be disin-
herited. One good effect of this is to do
away with big landed estates. Many of
these. though. are still of enormous size,
and farms of 5000 acres are the rule
rather than the exception.

thing where they can reach it. they
watch you out of one eye. and when you

Music and Character.

Good music is a powerful tonic to
many people, especially those suffering
from melancholia. 1t lifts them out of
their solemn moods, dispels gloom and
dependency, kills discouraged feelings
and gives new hope, new life and new
yigor. 1t seems, says the editor of
Success Magazine, to put great many
people into proper tune. 1t gives them
the keynote of truth and beauty,
strikes the chords of harmony, dispels
discord from the life, scatters clouds
and brings sunshine. All good music
is a character builder, because it's con-
slant suggestion of harmony, order
and beauty puts the mind into a nor
NAL attitude. Music clears the cob
webs out of many minds, so that they
can think better, act better and live
better Some writers are dependent
upon music for their inspiration and
their moods. Somehow it brings the
muse to them. 1t adds brilliancy to
the brain, and facility to the pen,
which they cannot seem to get in any
other way. Good music seems to give
US touch of the divine, and to put
US in contact with divinity. 1t drives
out evil thoughts, making us ashamed
of them. 1t lifts us above petty an
noyances and little worries of life, and
gives us glimpse Of the ideal which
the actual is constantly obscuring.

MAKING LABOR RIDICULOUS

Certain rather notorious agitators
among the so-called labor element in
Los Angeles have again made fools of
themselves. In a "secret" meeting held
Saturday night-which was wide open,
so far as its action was concerned
these agitators induced some 200 or 300
professional labortes to take blood
Alliance, to wit:
I do solemnly swear to fight in every
way the Citizens Alliance, and to use
every means to put that association out
Of business so long as there shall be
breath in my body; so help me God!
All of which was lurid, dime-novelist,
yellow enough to suit the anarchy
organ of these gentry, and too funny
to take seriously,
Had it been on the stage at the
Grand theater that this melodramatlc
farce was enacted, the applause would
have .re-echOed and the curtain calls
would have been too numerous TO
mention. Unfortunately, men actors in
melodramas take themselves seriously,
and doubtless the "citizens, soldiers,
etc. who did the mob scene while such
startling thespians as Fennessyl. Doc"
Houghton and the other stars, strutted
their brief hour, would feel highly in
suited We're it even intimated that they
only played a part.
But that's all they did. The agitators
are merely making cats paws Of their
deluded followers; are putting up a
bugaboo to be knocked down, that a
bluff may be made at doing" someone
or some thing. The fiery oath is about
as clap-trap a piece of foolishness as
real stage could produce and has
about as much sense i'm it as had the
one that bound together Tom Sawyer's
pirates bold.
Possibly, some day, the Citizens AL
lance will hear that this "demonstra-
ton" has taken place against it-poss-
bly,. But if so it will be because, like
the mosquito that tried to sting an
elephant and merely broke its bill, the
oath-bound leaders make even bigger
fools of themselves than they are now
