main in Central to enjoy the cool
weather during the summer. Mr..
Rachofsky considers himself fortunate
in that he has already received a ticket
for the national Democratic convention
which convenes in Denver next week.
AS the gentleman takes very little in

will attend the big gathering and it is
possible that anyone who does not re-
ceive ticket and who is desirous of
gaining admittance to the auditorium
can borrow Mr.. Rachofsky's.

Poverty and Morality.
Bernard Shaw's Major Barbara.

DO you call poverty crime?
The worst of crimes. All the other
crimes are virtues beside it. All the
other dishomors are Chivalry Itself by
comparison. Poverty blights whole
cities. spreads horrible pestilenCe,
strikes dead the very souls OF all who
come within sight, sound, or smell of it.
What you call crime is nothing; mur-
der here and a theft there, a blow now
and a curse then; what DO they matter?
They are only the accidents and ILL
nesses of life: there are not so genuine
professional criminals in London. But
there are millions OF poor people, aOject
people, dirty people, III fed, i'll clothed
people. They poison US morally and
physically; they XIII the happiness of
society; they force us to do away with
our own liberties and TO organize un-
natural Cruelties for fear they should
rise against us and drag us down in
their abyss Only fools fear crime; we
all fear poverty. Bah. You talk of your
half saved rutiian in the Salvation
army shelter? Bring him TO me here,
and | will drag his soul 10 salvation
for you. Not by words and dreams,
but by IS shillings a week, a sound
house in a handsome street, and a per-
manent job. In three weeks he will
have a fancy wastcOat; in three
months a tall hat and a chapel sitting;
before the end of the year he will
shake hands with a duchess al IA
Primrose league meeting and join the
conservative party.
He will be better fed, better housed,
better clothed, better behaved, and his
children will be pounds heavier and
bigger. That will be better than an
American cloth mattress in a shelter,
chopping firewood, eating bread and
treacle, and being forced to kneel down
