Billiard Asks Churches to Help
Poor in Topeka.
Says They Should Look After
Their Neighbors.
THOUSANDS TO FOREIGNERS
He Wonders Why Topekans Do
Not Help Citizens First.
City Funds for Charity Labor
Are Running Short.

With tie city funds getting low and
idle labor in Topeka increasing every
day Mayor Billiard mas issued a plea
to the churches of the city asking them
| to donate money and food and clothing
/ TO the poor. Furthermore, the mayor
wonders why the church people of To
peka send thousands Of dollars a yeaE
! to foreign missions and countries when
they could spend an equal amount with
better results right in their commun-
ity.
I cannot understand it, the mayor
SaId this AFTERNOON THE churches of
+ Topeka work night and day in an eff
fort TO donate thousands of dollars to
/ the Chinese and to other foreign coun-
/ tries. The preachers plead with the
! congregations to help out the foreign
/ cause. And right across the street
from these ministers and these church
people are families of labOring men
starving and shivering because there is
no work.
IF the church people of this city
would turn first to their neighbors and
then to the foreigners the world would
be much better. My creed is this-First
provide eoT your own family: then help
your neighbor; If you are able, then
turn to the poor and needy of your
own community. Then it is time 10
take care of the foreigners"
Nothing Goes for Salaries.
The mayor intimated that all money
spent IN topeka LOT the nelp OIL the
poor would go direct He promised that
no high salaries would be paid out to
''misslo naries'' before the money reach
ed the cause.
If the churches will give to the
ProVidert Association or to the police
matron or direct to the poor they will
know that every cent they give is for
the good of the cause and VIII have q
direct effect. No money given in To-
pella goes to nigh salaried mission
aries or agents of the churches for the
good of the people. Everything goes
direct to the homes.
Right now in Topeka there are hun
dreds of families that need help. can't
understand why the church people Will
stand by and watch this suffering. The
city is spending every cent 1t can ID
relieve conditions. Many charltably in
cIined business men and others have
sent contributions for food and fuel.
But we need more and we need it I'M
mediately.
Il wish a number of the church peo-
every morning to Commissioner Stotts
as tree trimmers. I wish they could see
the poor and destitute who ask for work
under the Melan bridge wish they
could see the men who come to me Tor
help. And the men who go tc the po-
lice matron and the Provident Asso-
citation.
Il don't mean to condemn foreign
missions. | realize the world of good
they have done. But 1 do sometimes
cause when their neighbors are need 4
ing help. 1t is beyond my cornpre-
henSiOn.
The city tree trimming gangs will be
Iaid off at the end of this week Inc
money has run out. More than 500 men
this work But more money is needed.
Hundreds of families are destitute.
