JUSTICE NOT CHARITY.

The problem of poverty has been
pretty thoroughly studied In this gen.
Grafton. without pretending to init.
mate that all Is known that can be
known or that wisdom will die with us.
yet 1t appears pretty clear that one OF
the worst possible means Of attacking
the poverty problem Is TO give great
sums of money to the poor. The right
aim of society is justice and not char.
ity. Charity is always to he regarded
as palliative. as an attempt to ren.
der some measure of equity where the
ordinary processes--tl,nt Is to say. the
system of society at that time In vogue
have failed. The Socialists and
drcamers imagine valnly that the only
factor In the failure To distribute the
benefits of society Is the thing called
a frame of government or the collective
thing called the fabric of society. wher.
as the greatest factor contributing to
the failure Is human nature and the In
hercnt defects of individuals.

THE DESTRUCTIVE CRITIC NOT
WANTED.

In the maXims of modern British
satirist appears the eplgram. Those
who can, do those who cannot, teach.'
For "teach" might be substituted, In jus.
tice to the professional teacher, the
words "crtlclse." 'censure." object
and "Obstruct." President Roosevelt
developed this Idea In q recent address
To Harvard students He made plain
reference to doctrinalre persons who
meet In parlors, discuss conditions with
no other evident purpose than 10 deter
mine that conditions are bad, and who
present 10 the men entrusted with pub
lie affairs no single workable Idea. So
few plans are drawn with entire per-
fiction, so few men are completely and
continuously competent, that almost
any one OF mediocre Intelligence can
find the faults In greater schemes than
the fault-findcr could begin 10 conceive
or carry out, can point to the flaws in
useful public servants beside whom the
critic Is pygmy. The kind Of critic
that the President objects TO Is the
habltually destructive kind. Neither
the President nor any other man OF
action objects TO the sort OF criticism
which presents a constructive idea, con-
cclyed In an honest desire 10 make
things better. Such criticism Is helpful.
But when small groups OF persons who
warmly agree with each other Issue
manifestOes and resolutions which can
not guide the most Open.mlnded man
In a single act, they are unservlceable
and offensive to those who are trying
10 do the work Of the world. Since
Plato and Aristotle every critic OF poll
tics and art who has gained lasting
authority has offered constructive ad
vice, plans for doing things rather than
structures upon other mems plans. Lin
coin, one OF the most violently and per
sistently criticised of men, knew thli
simple test. He used frequently 10 NEE
unfair critics by asking them 10 CONT
right to Washington and see what they
could do. II Is test the critic should
b. willing to abide.
