means starvation and abject misery.

consummation demands more than
the mere distribution OF clothing. food
and money.
Much of the suffering from poverty
Is due To the vice and shiftlessness or
the sufferers. They must be reached
and taught ambition and self-respect.
This is part OF the work which the
Charity club has undertaken. II is
easy enough to make general reports
but everyone will readily see THAI
specific reports OF the cases handled
from week to week cannot be pub
lished in the newspapers. The men
and women who are really fsmilis,
with the work OF the Charity club
know just what Is being done and all
the records of the organization are
open to the inspection of any we'll
meaning citizen. II L. c. S. Is deeply

tiers at 307 kentucky avenue and be-

a work that will take months, per-
haps.. even years. and will bring him
into close personal contact with the
conditions that make for juvenile de-
linquency.
This .s res, charity. II means some
thing. The giving OF provisions or
fuel to tide a family over some tenn
porary hardship Is not charity in the
real meaning of the word. That work
should be the Office OF the city poor
department IL our city had such de-
partment. The giving OF temporary
aid too often makes paupers and beg
gars rather than self-respecting citi-
zens and It remains for kindly dis
posed citizens acting slngly or through
some organization 10 dispense real
charity ny giving permanent help that
will raise dependent folk above the
level on which they live.
The modern idea of charity is that
II has a double mission--to AFFORD
immediate relief In cases of acute
suffering from poverty and permanent
relief in all cases. or these the sec
ond is vastly the most important, be-
cause In the end IL will diminish the
total volume of poverty In the world.
While the first must not be neglected.
1t should be so accomplished as not
to interfere with the second.
The difficulty and the fault with
most charitable enterprises is that
they are conducted solely with refer
ence to the first and less important
phase of the mission. 1t Is far more
important that so families be made

VOICE OF PEOPLE
Mr.. Toner Replies.

In response TO- a communication IN
your columns of yesterday | desire
first OF all to say that II Is not
my wish TO enter into a prolonged
discussion of the merits or weak
nesses OF local public charities ashley
are administered either by the Padu-
cab Charity club or any other organl-
cation engaged in like work in this
city. | am convinced that your cor
respondent, who signs himself Z. c.
s., is sincere and that the motive
which led him to address you Is a
worthy one, otherwise like most sensi-
BILE citizens / would pay no attention
whatever to what he has said. His
remark TO the effect that the Charity
club and the Salvation army are con
Quoted by comparative strangers and
that the people who have lived here
for many years are better qualified TO
look after the work performed b.
both of these organizations. is puerile
and scarcely worthy of serious consid,
Grafton.
Here Is one maxim you may put
down as basic: at takes a black
smith to shoe ashorse," or an engineer
to run a locomotive. SO also II takes
some one who Is naturally qualified
and who has given the matter some
thought to conduct a public charity.
There are persons who believe that
living next door to a thing for long
period of years teaches all there is to
know about 1t. Mr.. +. G. s. evidently
is one OF these persons. One might
presume, then, that II any member OF
his family were an Invalid he would
consider himself better qualified to
prescribe treatment than the best ply
stefan in the city.
The Charity club Is not perfect, but
II has one merritt realizes that II Is
not perfect. 1t is trying to learn.
First 1t is trying TO learn facts, the
Importance of which Mr.. e. c. s.
seems to undervalue. Second, II Is
earnestly seeking to learn the best
method OF dealing with these facts.
The charge has often been made that
the Charity club puts too much stress
on system and not enough on SYM
patty; too much on organization and
not enough on personal kindly help
fulness. There is some ground for
this and no one knows II better than
the men and women who are actively
engaged in the work of the Chart,
club. There used TO be more ground
for such a complaint; there will be
less as the Charity club gets older.

CHARITY.


Our esteemed friend, sc. c. S."
would do well, perhaps, to analyze
the word charity" which he, like
many other well meaning people,
limits in his definition to mere giving.
In private life we say Charity COW
ereth a multitude of sins,Y and use 1t
for a blanket to cover our own sins.
1t would be more applicable. possibly,
if we would throw the blanket of
charity over other peoples sins and
shortcomings. Do you catch the
point, "E. c. s.? Practice that
kind of charity awhile. Neither the
Charity club, We believe, nor the Sal
walton Army makes a practice of
doing out gratuities to people with
out some consideration, unless 1t be
an extreme case, for which all the
dictates of humanity demand imme-
diate relief first, and then considera-
ton. The Charity club tries to set
people back on their feet instead of
pauperizing them. With the difference
that the Salvation Army is doing
evangelical work and the Charity
club acting in the capacity of city
poor department, they are both try
ing to lift people up.
The Christmas dinner was not sim
pie charity work, 1t was treat to the
poor, and they were made to enjoy,
not only necessities, but luxuries in
honor of the occasion. II was re-
markable for the efficiency of its
management. and Capt. Meaker and
his wife, not only accomplished an
immense amount of work, but they
published an itemized statement
showing how much 1t cost, who oon-
tributed. and the balance. The ONLY
noise they made was to incite "E. C.
s." and the rest of US to contribute.
They have not uttered single boast
about their work. The Charity club
and the salvation Army, which are
not alike and are not doing the same
work, are accomplishing much good.

ol trichery. Inc primary dp-
Gently guards against all the evils
THAT render the present primary in
Kentucky worse than any mass con-
vention.
But Senator Charlton's primary
plan goes further in the direction of
making straight the way of popular
government, than anything else that
has ever come to our notice. The pri-
mary for all parties is to be conducted
at the same time, in the same place,
by the same officers, under the Aus
tralian system, and when a man goes
into the booth to vote, the chalengers
not only will not know for what man
he is voting, but they will not know
>what party ticket he is voting.
- wouldn't that take the sting out of
the party lash?
, Ali the tickets, under their proper
party emblems, and separate indie
pendent tickets, are fastened together
at the top. The voter selects his
ticket, tears it off. marks II and folds
it, and then folds the remainder of the
tickets. so that no one may tell which
he has torn Off The ticket he votes
is dropped into one box; the others
Gfo dropped in another box, called
the "dead ballot box" Its contents
are dumped out and destroyed with
out being inspected.
That surely would put an end TO
the declaration of the party organs, as
election time draws nigh, that those
who voted at the primary are bound
to vote the ticket at the election.
Nowadays, Democrat must vote
only at the Democratic primary. Tie
Republican must limit his right of
suffrage to selecting the best his party
offers, and then politicians call him a
traitor and a turn coat" If, after
trying vainly to prevent his party
nominating a bad man. he is good
enough citizen to vote foT a better
man on the opposing ticket.
Under the proposed primary law
man will go into the booth and
there compare the tickets. II he is
Democrat. and sees that the Repub-
lican ticket Is the Better. and knows
that not a soul but his own will ever
be the wiser. coward though he may
be, he is likely to allow his CON
science to override partisanship, and
vote In the Republican primary, or
vice versa
Think what the result OF that must
inevitably be. In order to win party
will have to pick the best men II can
loffer for the Offices. Before long we
