INTELLIGENT CHARITY.

In our day charity Is not supplanted
or superhuous The difference Is that
it must be supplemented with intelli.
gence. The careless good nature which
throws coin ut the inslstent beggar
is not charity, but an evil. The TEN.
pOrary impulse which carries food or
flowers once and then forgets all about
IL Is not real Kindness. 1t promises,
and does not perform. 1t begins, and
does not sustain. II may cause want
by professions which keep away the
NEEDED relief. Charity must ally itself
with common sense; must think Of
effectiveness. Charity is called upon
TO vote for good laws. Part of its
mandate il TO inspect inspection and
hold officials to strict accountability.

SHRiNkAOE IN RAILWAY con.
STRUcTION.

4 table recently published In the
Chicago Tribune showed In comparison
the new railway mileage Of 1907 and
1905 The work done In the different
states and territories wns indicated,
the net figures marking shrlnkage In
construction during the last year. The
mileage added In 1900 was 0,G:3: that
Of 1907, was 800. The distribution
Of this nearly 1900 miles Of construc.
ton has good deal more Of interest
connected with It than In afforded by
the mere comparison Of figures which
show the activity Of consecutive years.

clear idca Of the development Of the
country. For there IL natural cOnnec.

point Of view one would expect to find
tho Western states taking u great lead
over the older parts Of the country. A
study Of the table shows that when
the mileage for the last two years Ia
combined the leading States. In order,
are Texas. South Dakota. Louisiana.
Nevada, Florida. North Dakota, and
Washington. In each OF which more
than 425 miles Of new track was laid,
