CHARITY.

as there too much charity? asks
The greensboro Inquirer. The Phila-
delphla Record is inclined to the
opinion that there is. Not that Rec
ord advocates a Tightening of the
heart strings, but that charity should
be more Systematically administered
and there are very many to agree
with the Philadelphia paper.
But would it not be better to
make a mistake in the extending of
charity occasionally to one not Who'll
ly worthy Of charity, than to make
the mistake of Withholding charity
from an object worthy of It until
that systematic investigation could
be had, or to withhold It because OF
doubt Of the worthmess of the ap-
plicant? Which would be better, and
what is charity? The Great Apostle OF
the Gentiles thus defines It:
Charity suffereth long and is
kind; charity envieth not; charity
vaunteth not itself, Is not pulled
up
Doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own. is not easily
provoked thinketh no evil"
Charity does not, therefore, solely
consist in the giving of aims to the
worthy or the deserving poor. 1T
thinketh no evil and it vaunteth not
itself In other words charity is
kindness and forgiveness. and while
the question OF the Philadelphia pa
per may or may not be a limitation
on the meaning of charity, what spir-

der was committed during a drunken
brawl'
I'm discussion of whether there Is
or whether there is not too much
charity, it seems to be certainty
that there was nothing of genuine
charity in the Coschocton case-and
1t is not the only case on record"
There's the rub in Mrs. Borden
kircher's case as in many another,
who has slipped back into the cess
pool into which she voluntarily wplk-
ed, and then blamed society and the
church for her relapse. "She was bar
red from recognition by the better
element" Having forfeited her right
to recognition, by the mere word of
repentance she probably expected to
be restored to ALL which she had
given up to follow her own caprice.
It is not altogether mans inhumani-
| ty to man. There Is an immutable
law to be considered. Repentance
may bring salvation, but 1t will not
Interfere with our reaping what we
SOW. 1t may be the church and soci-
ETY. are uncharitable, but that does
not lay on them the blame for the
moral conduct OF a free agent. If
society should welcome back to the
old station and Old regard the erring
ones, It would but make 1t easier for
the next to err and repent, putting
no premium on strict adherence to
the social code. Pity we must have
those unfortunates, but having for
feited their birthright, it is for them
to adjust themselves to conditions
they and not society have induced.
We must remember 1t is the weak
ones who fall, but too mucn of that
kind of charity, which supplants
personal effort on the part of those
who are fallen, tends only to accen-
tuate that very weakness responsible
for their degradation. Systematic
charity even in helping the fallen to
regain a lost moral status has prov
en- most successful.

Mrs. Belle Morris, wife Of Mr.. w.
F. Morris, president of the Paducah
Box and Basket factory, died at 8
O'Clock this morning at the residence
Ninth and Madison streets, of COM
pllcations, following the grip. She
died suddenly, not being considered
In a dangerous condition until a few
hours before death. Mrs. Morris
came to Paducah five years ago from
New Albany, Ind, with her husband,
who started the Observation-Disclosures
Basket and Bow factory. She was
a lovable woman and became pop
ular, gaining many friends. She was
taken I'll four weeks ago of the grip
and was considered much better yes
terday and this morning. Her condi-
ton early this morning was such
that her husband went to the factory.
At O'Clock she showed such rapid
change for the worse that Mr.. Nor
ris was called back. Physicians
could not make the patient rally and
lat o'clock she passed away. She
leaves her husband and the following
children: Clifford Morris and Misses
Jean and Mary Morris Her mother
and sisters survive.
Before removing to Paducah the
family resided at New Albany, Ind.

ALL UNION MEN.
Illinois Central Woodworkers Join
Brotherhood.

Every man in every department OF
the Illinois Central wood working
shops, even including the pattern
makers who do a higher class OF
work and drawing larger salaries, is
a member of the union. This
was effected by the result of the re
cent jackson, Tenn, conference

raise was secured through efforts OF
the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen,
and the benefits of solid unionism

worker employed in the Illinois Cen

There were over 200 men working at

Maybe Joe Cannon thinks two can
play a game as well as one. Presi-

as a rallying cry to attract delegates,
whether he will accept a nomination
or not. BY the same token, it is be-
lieved Joe Cannon would not think
of running, but he is not shooing off
any delegations that might be gath
cred in his name. Perhaps Uncle Joe
won't run; but perhaps he has a
friend who will.

Converting the eye sores into pub
lie parks, is the secret of the "City
Beautiful" and Paducahs first park
commission has caught the spirit of
the times. Paducah mas no worse
looking place than the old tobacco
warehouse site at Tenth street and
Broadway. Not only is it unsightly,
but it is a whole vacant block in the
heart Of the city. Physical conditions
that make the ground unavailable
for most commercial uses do
not detract from the ugliness OF the
pace, nor are the reasons why it is
so, known to all the strangers who
come to Paducah, and it is for the
strangers we usually dress up. These
are reasons why the warehouse site
should be improved. The reasons why
the park should be located there are
Just as palpable. Paducah should
have a resting place for pedestrians
down town. To place a park else
where would necessitate the condem-
nation and destruction of buildings
and the expenditure of large
amount Of money. Cities do not
pick out beautiful locations for down
town parks; they pick out available
ground and the improvement Initial
ed by the city soon reflects on sur
rounding property. If the park COM
missioners continue in as enthusiast
tic and practical a manner as they
have begun. they will do much to
stimulate progress in Paducah.
