The cause of temperance would

1t is always desirable to keep widely
open the channels OF public giving. 1t is
wholesome for the community to bestow
bounty freely upon worthy objects, far
better that the needs Of the charity or
ganization should be supplied directly by
the people through their individual con-
tribution than that these enterprises
should be maintained by appropriation OF
public money. representing pro rata tax
upon all residents. Every person VINO
gives to a charity fund becomes thereby
In a certain measure a participant in the
work Of helping the poor. His dollar Is
an investment in good citizenship. To the
extent that the money thus given is used
constructively and for prevention rather
than the mere meeting Of bare physical
needs the charity work of the community
is we'll done. 1t can never be finished, for
there will always be unfortunates who
cannot equip themselves for self-mante-
nance. whom disease and misfortune over
take and who remain dependent upon the
beneficence OF others. The real charity
problem Is to reduce this class to a mini
mum. and this work will be facilitated by
the elimination Of needless endeavors. of
duplicating organizations and of IMPOSE
lions upon the credulty and the bounty
of the people.
