TOO MUCH FOR THE FEW; TOO
LITTLE FOR THE MANY.

In this world there is more than
enough comfort and wealth of all
kinds for all of the people and
for ten times as many. When a
few have too much, it spoils their
lives and makes them bitter and
morbid. Aud IA very great many
the vast majority-have too little
which makes their lives bitter and
morbid
You can see idle foolish. over
fed. over dressed women, and pass
ing them on the sidewalk old
women bowed, wrinkled. worn out,
giving their last fragment of vital
ity to some task fit only for the
strong man.
That is the trouble in our civil
cation. the toe little for the many
and the too much for the few.
1t proves what our readers know,
that the real problem of the world
is distribution. There's no use
blaming the foolish. overdressed.
self-indulgent. vain woman or man.
She or be is the victim of circum-
stances.
And while each of us should do
his duty as IA charitable individual
there is very little to gain by the
relieving of this or that victim of
poverty.
The intelligence Of men must
devise system that will deal with
classes. and deal with entire con-
ditions.
And the solution Of poverty's
problem will not be found in char
ity for the individual poor, i'm con-
tempt for the individual, selfish
rich man. Poverty's solution will
he found only in the abolition of
poverty.
The abolition of poverty. like
the abolition of slavery. will be
found in the courage and the gen.
nus Of the human race. Men will
solve that problem for themselves,
AS they have solved others.
What is wanted is for men to
see the situation clearly. You
must have first the leaders, the
men ahead of their time protest.
ing and rebelling against this too
much and too little. this too great
luxury and too great poverty. And
then you must have the conscience
of the people following and pro-
testing
There is enough for everybody.
more than enough. II is only with
human beings n question OF dis
tribution Of wealth, as, with our
great fields and our deserts, il il
merely question Of the distribn-
tion of water. In the oceans and
the lakes there is enough water to
make every field fertile. man 3
genius is distributing that water
already.
There is no reason why one
human being should be chained to
poverty, worry and sorrow, and an
other b. overloaded with wealth
and overfei. Protest against it.

THE REFORM WAVE
 RISING IN CHINA
The New Government Committed tc New Order of Things.

Pekin, Nov. 1S.-An edict issued today declares that the era of Pu Vi the infant emperor of China, shall be named Hsuan Ung, meaning pro claimed succession" This character ization is interpreted as signifying the unification of the nation upon the re- form program of the throne
 Another edict orders a posthumous title for Kwang Hsu in recognition of his merits. It enlarges upon the reform program to which the vale dictory of the emperor committed the throne and thus commits the govern ment again to the details set forth in the program.
 The grand council appears anxious to impress the idea of reform upon the new generation of the reigning Manchu clan. The dowager empress Yehonala, acting on a memorial pre- sented to the princess and ministers, has issued an edict that the period of mourning be reduced for the regent and court to one hundred days and for people to only seven days.
