Showers of Oil.

At Baku, Oh the Caspian, the peopl,
have been suffering under a de-
testable inf1iction ever since the recen:
firing of the oil wells by the rioters
The burning naphtha throws up with
the oil great quantities of water,
which, transformed into steam by the
tremendous heat, hang like snow-whita
clouds above the town. When these
clouds fall in the shape OF rain they
bring down with them a quantity o;
finely atomiZed naphtha. which covers
houses, windows and streets with d
greasy coating of ill-smelling oil.

Girls of Tasmania.

For many years Tasmania has been
known as the "Circassia Of the colo
nies"-a tribute To the exceptional
loneliness of its young women. There
have been Tasmanian peeresses, but
the pretty Tasmanian girls are mostly
in demand as barmaids for Sydney
and Melbourne. Some years ago it
was elected in evidence at an official
inquiry in Melbourne that Tasmantan
barmaids command double the ordi.

Virtue Decreases as Religious
Sentiment Is DESTROYED

By Justice MORGAN j. o'BRIEN Of III New FOR Supreme Court
~ OCIALISM is strong in Germany. 1t is growing steadily, and
its progress is radical War, we ar assured, MUST coME
between England and Germany for supremacy on the seas.
The massing of large numbers of the population in one place,
which will increase with the century, will tend to strengthen the forces
of Socialism and materiaEsm, the result necessarily of the enormous
wealth of the few AND THE POVERTY OF THE MANY.
And thus, upon a larger field and under new and untried condi
t;ons will be fought out the battle between religion and morality on
the ne side and Socialism and materiahsm or the other. and upon the
outcome will depend the defeat of the realization of the aspirations
and HOPES OF DEMOCRACY.
A fact that stands prominently forth in or history is that virtue
has decreased in proportion to the destruction of the religious senti
ment among our people.
1T REQUIRES NO PROPHET TO TELL WHAT MUST BE THE
INEVITABLE IF SOME CHECK TO THE RAPID lNRoAos OF So
cALIsM AND MATERiALlsM CANNOT BE FOUND.

y one, a 8 we count success, Is the exception. 1t seems u me
that the rich are to be piied.
Charity, as the word is known today, is only a bride of moneved
men to make a community FORGET THE WRONGS heaped upon
it. "Chartable people give money 81 that hey may appear IN the
guse of benefactors. Charity, as it is known nowadays. is only a cloak
to make people think the giver is deserving of praise.
Away with the word charity. We don't want to hear the word in
settlement work. The people of any neighborhood will refuse to
come to the settlement, the boys and girls will remain away from it
if CHARITY turks within these walls.
In place Of the word charity let IL substitute the word 'philan-
thropv" This is the better word. 1t means the LOVE OF MAN
KIND. not simply charity for mankind. 1t is this spirit that has
moved the founders Of all settlements. The settlement workers in
giving themselves to others receive much more than they give. Their
lives have become richer and their souls have become gaddened.
Those who give their lives to a community RECEIVE much more
than they bring to it.
AS matter of fact the children one hears playing in the street are
superior any way to many of those on the boulevards. The people OF
the Ghetto often are superior TO the residents of the avenues and bo-
levards. THE RICH ARE TO BE PITIED. Let us establish
settlements for the rich mems sons.
Many of the rich men at the clubs are far LESS EDUCATED
than the workingmen of the poorer districts. The latter read, and
they progress along educahonal. lines Ask the rich man at the club if
he has read this or that book which goes to make men nobler and
better and stronger in mind. He will shake his head IN lGNOR-
ANCE. Ask many of these people of the Ghetto the same questions,
and they will brighten up with the knowledge they have gained from
those books through long hours of study.
You hear some rich women go back to the bouevards and tel. their
friends that they have been over in the settlement. They act as they
had done something brave. They tell how unclean the people are
and what sights they found there. THEY WANT SELF ADMl-
RATION and so they pretend that they have done a wonderful act.
THAT Is NOT THE SPIRIT OF SETTLEMENT WORK. 1T IS
NOT coNoEscENsioN TO GO INTO THE WORK, BUT IT IS A
STEPPING HIGHER.
