House in Park lane to the Victoria

Full military and naval honors were
paid to the dead ambassador and the
British government did everything pos

To the patriotic Americans of the
London colony it was apparent that
the British were doing everything pos

AS the warship weighed anchor a

The statement that all men are
created equal was uttered at politi.
cal maxim and was intended to refer
10 the political rights of mankind.
Literally understood, it is not true.
Men are not created equal, nor can
my method be devised which will
make them equal. Men differ in
their tastes and tendencies, in their
Sarength of will, in their habits and
in almost everything. One man is
able to handle his personal affairs
4r0dently and discreetly, and to live
Hen ON what would be penury for
another. Another man is incapable
sf managing anything, and he is
chemically poor no matter what his
income may be. Because of these
differences thare are differences in
Amman fortune and human progress.
There are those who appear to fall
~ the wayside, sometimes because of
aheir own fault or their own inefi-
sieney, and sometimes because of a
atrain OF circumstances over which
shey have no control.
We cannot Danish poverty, because
We cannot Danish the peculiarities of
M0tzldual temperament which con-
sribute to poverty. We can aid in re-
moving poverty's sting, and in max
ing more bearable the lot of the I'M
fortunate. The ideal way to aid the
unfortunate is through direct per-
sanaf effort, which means not merely
the giving of money and goods, but
the cultivation Of the spirit of real
personal friendship, with the doing
Of al the things that wise personal
friendship prompts. This is some
hines unattainable, and there are
many who need help who are unable
