Public Building Provision.

one Of the representatives in Congress
complains that the system OF appropri-
atins for and planning public buildings
throughout the country is wrong and
that the United States government is put
TO an enormous expense not only in con-
structinS but maintaining the structures
for the accommodation of it's Offices in
different parts OF the country His OBJ
lection seems 10 be that too much money
= spent in putting up federal buildings
an small towns. where a moderate rent
FOR Office rooms would secure adequate
accommodations for the use of the gov
ernment There can be no question that
as a result of the log rolling methods
adopted in the past in appropriatng for
public buildings many useless eNpendi-
lures have been incurred, as in the case
also OF the rivers and harbors work. But
the net result Is good. 1t has carried the
federal organization In tangible form into
all parts OF the country. 1t has given a
dignified and in many cases an artistic
symbol of the national authority to com
munities that otherwise would have no
adequate token OF the government. II

probably never be eradicated altogether.
Yet the percentage of suffering attrio-
utable to such as these is by no means
large. On the contrary. under the stimu-
lus of the carefully constructive work OF
present day charity organizations it is
being demonstrated that only rarely are
such instances encountered, which will
not yield to treatment. To the extent
that charity giving is concentrated
through the agencies that are animated
by this constructive concept. with the
idea primarily of correcting faults, find
ing employment and making the poor
self -helpful and self-sustaining, the per-
centage OF those utterly dependent upon
aims will be diminished.
Dependence upon charity is a habit
easily formed by those of lax moral fiber.
and while to some kindly disposed, SYM
pathetic people it may seem at times
harsh and cruel to insist upon investiga
ton before giving. it is only by such
means that the drift toward slothful-
ness and improvidence is checked. Char
ity organization furthermore affords an
effective agency for the detection of
fraud which is freely practiced from
time to time under the guise of. abject
suffering and need. These organizations
should be literally supported and. heartily
encouraged by the community as an ef-
fective means to the end --of reducing.
poverty to a minimum. 49,

High School Foot Ball.

Stress has been laid in public utteranees
by public school officials upon the value
of foot ball as means of developing
character. One of the speakers on a re-
cent occasion. when the successes of the
season were being celebrated. said that
the game encourages a spirit of generos-
ity and fair play: that it helps to do away
with physical fear: that it teaches'a boy
that it does not hurt so much to be hurt
that it cultfvates resolution and develops
a boys ability to see clearly. to hear &C
curately. to. determine quickly and to act
Instantly. This is indeed high cOmmenda-
ton for the sport. But what of the price
that is paid for these lessons? What of
the broken legs and arms and collar
bones, the wrenChed backs and the bro
ken heads? There are many of these. in
every city where foot ball is played by
schOOlboys. even under the latest revision
of the rules supposedly in the interest Of
open and fair play. This year already
there have been numerous mishaps on the
local foot ball field. with a consequent loss
of school time. Washington is fortunate
in not having experienced a death on the
gridiron field this season, but that has
been a matter of good luck rather than
any protection afforded by the rules or
methods of play.

At a little earlier day the late John H.
Reagan of Texas played this part in Con-
yress. first in the House, and then in the
Senate. He often quoted the Constitu-
ton in debate and always with insist
ence that ii should be strictly Obeyed.

the House in an aside to a neighbor on

Take the currency. Is the delegation
by Congress of the power to issue circu-
lating notes by banks strictly constitu-

what provisions shall the change be
made?
The senator or representative in the
next Congress with views about the Con-

TO express them, and will not be joked
about it il he INDUCES himself. The
great charter is going to be very much

The Question.

My Uncle Jim has stood the test. He
fought clear through the fray.
He voted all his friends and kin upon
election day.
He knows the questions of the hour, with
answers to them all,
Initiative" Referendum" and likewise

About the tariff question, too, he has a
lot to say.
He surely knows his alphabet both ways
from schedule *"
We're waiting for the news Suspense
makes all our bosoms throb:
We're wondering If they're going to give
dear Uncle Jim job.
He knows exactly how to answer queries
on finance.
Some folks have tried to puzzle him
They never stood a chance.
The questions of our foreign policy he
takes in turn
And answers them offhand to any one
that wants to learn.
He knows the way to set EN- right when
times get out of joint;
This world 10 him is one sublime interro-
CATION point.

our nerves it's playing hob
Is simply this: Is Uncle Jim In Line to

The Fight Against Poverty.

The abolition OF poverty is the keynote
of the work that is being done now by
organized charities in all the large cities
OF the country. Mere palliatives in the
form of aims and occasional rounds of
supplies and the establishment of institu-
tons are no longer considered as of real
value in the fight against improvidence
and destitution and suffering. Thus the
work of the Associated Charities and
the Citizens Relief Association of Wash
ington. which held their joint annual
meeting the other evening. is con-
structive at every stage and the dsburse-
ment of over $4,000 during the past
year is to be considered as the commu-
nity's investment in the prosperity of the
people.
Under the present system of charity
work those who give TO the funds are as
sured that in every instance an effort is
made to correct the conditions that make
for poverty, 10 overcome Incorporate
habits that lead to inadequate provision
for the family, to restore invalids to
health that they can become wage
earners instead of a burden upon others.
to teach habits of thrift TO those who
have been careless of their resources, to
point out the dangers of insanitary liv-
ing and thus lessen the chances of illness.
These are all practical endeavors and the
detailed reports of the organizations
show that they are bringing substantial
results.
Poverty. of course. can never be alb
solutely abolished. for there will always
remain thriftless, Incorporate. slothful
ones who will neglect their duties shift
their burdens to other shoulders and de-
pend upon aims for subsistence. That Is

The chief fault. to be found with the

The United States is in truth at least
ten years behind in its work of con-
struction at the capital for its own re-
