The Oskaloosa herald., 1907-02-28

DOWN WITH Dxeyity anu sefFeu WARM
to suit the taste of the Herald read
ers, who want the best OF every
thing. The Herald correspondent
was pleased to note in Mr.. Perry's
column on mines ana mining the
question wnicn will come up before
our next convention, of establishing
hospital-home for miners, where
they can support themselves through
infirmity or old age. The writer can
see no reason why such a home can
not be established in our state and
can see no definite reason for op-
opposing it. Other organizations
have them for their members, and
why not the miners union? Some
seem to think that IL is on the line
of poornouse, which is a very mis-
taken idea, for it is not. Even if it
were so, what is the difference be,
tween public charity and private
charity? The writer mas given hun,
dreds of dollars to help his fellow
man when in distress and is willing
to do it today as we have never seen
aid refused when offered. The good
book of divine truth says THE
poor you shall nave with you al,
ways" So let us push this matter
along until we get permanent home
for our people, where they can De
supported in their days of adversely.
