days of multiplication of agencies for

viewpoint, however, is changing or
rather expanding. Today we realize
that society is composed of individuals
and hence the individual must be
taken into account in any scheme of
social uplift or betterment, but we are
also realizing that the individual is a
product of society, in other words our
old idea is being socialized We no
longer look upon disease, crime and
poverty as beyond our control, rather
we are seeking the causes of these
enemies Of our civilization. The new
philanthropy like the science of the
new medicine is laying emphasis on
prevention. 1t emphasizes the parable
of the good Samaritan not only in the
line of relief, but also in the line OF
prevention. Having sent the man who
was beaten and robbed on the Jericho
road to hospital, it would go further

and light this road, so that similar ex-
periences to others may be avoided.
The Modern Idea.
The dominant idea of modern phil
has been well stated by DR..
E. T. Devine, which is ITO seek out

ganized forces of evil, at those parti-
cular causes of dependence and intol-
cradle living conditions, which are be-
yond the control of the individuals
whom they injure and whom they too
often destroy"
This new ideal has led to the appli-
cation of new tests to social welfare
work, as well as to specialization. 1T

such as playground, child welfare

The subject of Cooperative Philan-
thropy is one that is today receiving
the thoughtful consideration of men
and women the world over. The old
hit and miss method-mostly miss
of administering charity, is no longer
considered wise and is fast going out
of feshion. 1t has made paupers and
reformed but very few-if any. 1t
has robbed people of initiative and in
dependence and made parasites OF
those who should be self respecting
members of society. 1t was wasteful,
not only of money,--but of energy anG
effort 1t was aimless and unscienti-
fic. Out of the chaos of ideas of the
past there is being evolved a more
systematic and scientific method of

deficient classes. l desire to discuss
this subject not from the vantage point
of any of the distant European cities,
nor from the cities of our own main
land, but from the vantage point Of
our own city, where we live and move
and have our being.
The idea of the old was palliative;
crime, poverty and disease were view
ed purely as individual matters. The
more piously inclined looked upon mis-
fortune as a visitation from Providence
and in consequence all they attempted

fering. The less piOus blamed the

MERELY QUOTING

Samuel Gompers Says When He
Told Court ITO Go to - He
Meant No Disrespect-Frees
Mitchell of Connection.

Washington, Feb. 7.-PresidenI
Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation Of Labor, today told the
court which is trying him, Frank
Morrison and John Mitchell for
contempt, that when he wrote "go
to with your injunctions, he had
used the expression in the Shakes
pearean sense and not profane
one.
y like Shakespeare, and had in
mind one of his expressions when
! wrote that said Mr.. Gompers
such as avaunt.' Go to with thy
|prattle." II was in the Shakespear-
can sense that | used it, and I meant
mo disrespect to this court or its
decree. | meant go to- wait or
stop with your injunction"
At the conclusion of his direct
examination, President Gompers
exonerated John Mitchell, former
vice-president Of the federation,
who was sentenced to nine months
in Jail for contempt. Mr.. Gompers
said Mr.. Mitchell did not sign the
pronouncement for which the labor
leaders are being prosecuted, but
that his name had been attached as
"a matter Of course, and that he did
not see the subject until it had been
printed.
When Alton B. Parker had finish
ed examining Mr.. Gompers, cross
examination by the prosecutors be-
gan. Mr. Gompers persisted for q
time in trying to answer questions
to which Judge Parker objected, but
the attorneys way prevailed.
Now who is to decide these
points, you or the court?"
"The Supreme court of the United
States. I contend that when the
court transcends its right that the
citizen shall decide for himself. II
he is of the opinion that the court
went too far, he must decide for
himself" said Gompers.
When the court took a recess at
noon, usual precautions to guard
Justice Wright were apparent.
Three policemen and deputy u. S.
marshal escorted him to his cham
hers. The justice has received many
threatening letters.
ATTORNEY Darlington read the in
junction decree to Mr.. Gompers and
asked why he had not obeyed IT and
had permitted articles to appear in

violation of the Injunction. Com
pers said that he believed his con-
stitutional rights had been invaded
and that those portions of the in
junction to which he took exception
were void.

sci up as an intermediary court of

WON'T FINANCE REVOLTS
America Won't Protect FiIibuster-

Knox Announces.

Washington, Feb. S.--American
citizens who invest in revolution
airy movements cannot expect to
find the United States government
behind them as protector of those
investments. This was contained
in a note today addressed by Sec
rotary Knox to the German govern
ment. A copy Of the note also was
sent to France. Great Britain,
Italy. Japan and Russia.
While the declaration dealt spe-
officially with the Chinese situation,
it established a principle that is
regarded as long step toward the
maintenance of international peace
by shutting off in great measure
the procurement of fund with which
to wage war.
