Boxing has become popular among
athletic English women. They are
often spectators at boxing contests
and they are taking lessons in boxing.
One teacher said:
Several of my pupils are we'll
known in the social world, and the
reckless way in which some OF them
risk black eyes and cut lips is aston
ishing.
And my women boxers are not all
young athletic girls On the contrary

by the state and accept the gifts of
petty solicitation is not only false but
pernicious. The state and county
provision re wiser than u senti-
ment, which has confused the prob
lem and hindered the abolition Of
poverty.
Christianity taught the dignity of
man. Aristotle regarded slavery as
an ordinance of nature. PIato's
ideal republic accepted It. But a
later and essentially Christian view
prevailed. AS falsely as Aristotle,
some now regard poverty as newt
able and expect nothing better than
a partial alienation of its hardshfps.
Rather let us abolish 1t even as slav-
cry was abolished, but hopefully by
a more peaceful method. We have
the means and the method. the re-
sources and the law. Let US attack
1t as we would attack weeds, small
pox, vermin. Let us drive out the
wharf rats and the gutter sn1pes, saw
ing to q higher plane all that will let
us, and making the others work, or
go to Jail as criminals, and making
it impossible for a man to live in pow
erty.
1T is not fair to shirk a practical
and comparatively simple task by
calling it merely an ideal. What! at
this late day, are we insisting on
more than that, a mar shall have
enough to satisfy his hunger, clothes
to keep him comfortable, a roof to
rest under and a little time to read
and play. Any living less than this
is poverty and existence below this
standard we can and should abel-
ish."

mature of these would prevent q re-
~currence Of such fictitious hard times
as In the year 1907. / do not believe
that sort of a panic will occur again
in this country.
IS. Famine as q cause of poverty
is simply a matter of transportation.
Benevolence is equal to 1t. 1t can
not occur in a civilized country. 1t
need not occur anywhere so long as
the yield of the earth is SO much
more than the need Of it's inhabit-
ants. In China and India the pow
erty from this cause Is at times ap-
palling. 1t is 30 even now. But the
ordinary methods of civilization and
transportation rend 1t simple as a
problem, though a s~tupendous task.
az. Catastrophe and Accident.
Accident policies, worktngmen's COM
p~ensation and other means along this
line bid fair to meet the situation so
far as ordinary accidents are con-
cerned. And the stream Of gold
from the benevolence aroused by a
great catastrophe sometimes actually
embarrasses the relief committee.
Fire, food and earthquake, awful as
they are and beyond our powers to
prevent, are no longer great causes
of poverty.
NOW of these seven evils, three,
sickness, famine and catastrophe, r
no longer, among US serious causes
of poverty. War is a removable
cause. Money panics in time of pros
perity cannot be often repeated. Eco
nomic conditions are being remedied
first at the point where poverty
arises. The lack of self-control may
be met by external control all along
the downward course and with COM
plete external control before the time
of poverty is reached.
Thus that we have proposed is
largely prevention, but not all will
be prevented. The agencies, II sufi-
Client, are often slow to act. My con-
tention is that we have the means
and method of handling all that pow
erty which would p~ercolate through
these different seamy and veal
places in our natural and social con-
ditions and in our makeup of char
acter. Note two things, well known,
but not fully appreciated:
81. The millions already at hand
to meet the cases. Is 1t sufficient?
Not sufficient to meet all possible ap-
plications, but sufficient to meet the
cases of those who ought to be pro-
vided for directly. And there are
millions more at hand as soon as a
sane and thorough policy Is consist
emily adopted.
90. The state (broad sense) has
as its ideal, it's theory, the doing
away of poverty. And also it under
takes as a practical policy to handle
all the cases. 1t makes begging IN
lawful, vagrancy a crime; 1t provides
aims houses, poor o~verseers, charity
departments. 1t means to cover the
ground in a normal and noble way.
1--WE have too much desp1sed the
wisdom of our ~forefathers and SYM
pathized with a sentiment about
state, city and county institutions,
that has diminished their usefulness
and pit upon the churches and pri-
vate charity a burden they cannot as
nobIy or successfully bear.

"rhIs economto cause Of poverty

This economic cause of poverty
presses especially upon those below
the average Of strength and ability.
Such, OF course, though not attaining
equality, should not be thrust into
poverty. The system of unions bears
upon this point. 1t standardizes a
days work and makes the standard
sufficiently low 80 that a man below
the average can live, can keep out OF
poverty. This is very similar to
what we do in u schools and col
leges. We set the standard Of exam
nations low enough 80 that pupils
below the average Of ability can get
through, SO that the dull ones, IL
they are fairly Industrious, and the
lazy one, IL they are fairly bright,
can pass No school or college wants
a large number Of iunks. These
correspond to the poverty class In
economics. There are so many peo-
pie below the average that we must
put the standard low 80 that they
can live, 70 that their existence Is
rendered ~passable. The churches,
too, are trying to set q minimum SAL
airy for ministers; some of them have
done so, In order that the minister
below the average Of ability may live,
may be kept out of poverty, have
enough to eat and ear
80. Sickness Is a cause of poverty.
1t has been a great u Of poverty,
but 1t is no longer n Of the great
causes The remarkable advance in
hygiene and medicine to prevent in
FAINT mortality has done much more
than reduce the infant mortality; the
greater good, perhaps, Is the i'm
provement of the healthy infants so
that a much larger percentage of
those that survive become strong and
healthy adults. This greater gain
cannot be shown so readily in stalls
tics as the decrease in mortality, but
1t Is more important In Its influence
OF poverty. Hospitals and homes,
sick benefits, insurance, sanitariums,
public and private charities, some g.
500 in New York city alone, are so
large in capacity and so varied in
their nature that they can almost
meet the needs now. They would be
speedily increased If the greater need
were certainly shown.
"a. War. Formerly wal was a
test OF valor and skill, now 1t Is a
test of resources, and therefore Is a
direct cause of poverty. l e
In the broad sense including the
'war-provoking preparations to pre-
vent war Fortunately we are be-
ginning to see that war is not the in
evitable and necessary accompani-
ment of national life even In cases Of
honor, thanks to President Taft; but
that suffering and distress are the
and inevitable accompani-
ment of war. So our thought is cen
tered on doing away with war rather
than vainly trying to do away with
the sufrerings that necessarily come
with war. The Red Cross Society is,
in this time of peace, finding a better
work than making war tolerable by
relieving its sufferings. 1t is now
relieving the victims of fire, earth
quake and famine.
IS. Panics. I refer to a very
modern American cause of poverty
money panics, when the crops are
good. A mor flexible currency and

PRINCESS AS
SERVANT GIRL
Italian Consul Finds q
Noble Wait at Trenton.

Trenton, N. J., May 10-An tHvesd
cation leads the Trenton police and the
local italian consul to believe that a
pretty sixteen-year-old girl, known
here as Celia Emlub, ts CONNECTED with
the Italian nobility and that her i'm
mediate relatives are close to the Ital-
ian throne. Suspicion that she was
kidnapped from a wealthy family Was
founded on the finding of an embossed
visiting card bearing the name OF q
famous Italian woman by the girl In a
jacket which she had worn when a
babe and which had been preserved
because of Its costly material and
beautiful design.
The consul Is not ready to disclose
the name of the family of which the
girl is supposed to be a member, but
he has announced that hfs investfga-
ton would be completed probably TO-
day. Even II the elevation is only
temporary, the girl is receiving high
honors. Even the police, usually skep-,
teal in such cases, are treating Miss
Emluh as though she were a princess
The girl Is now IN the household OF
a prominent White Horse family. She
was brought here about eight years
ago by men who represented them
selves to be her father and uncle.
They told the local Italian consul that
her mother had Just died and request
ed him to place her tn the home Of an
American family. They objected to
her being given to Italians, saying that
she would be able to get along better
II reared by Americans.
1t is known now that from time to
time several strangers have been In
curing concerning the girl. II she
proves to be the person the consul
thinks she is large rewards were Of

of an italian vendetta. Her supposed
relatives VIII not be notified that the
child Is alive until the consul COM
