JUSTICE IS ONLY
CURE POVERTY
Progress League Secretary Says
Condition Is Mostly
Law-Made.

That Justice and not charity is the
cure for poverty was the contention of
Frederic c. Howe, secretary of the Ma
tional Progressive League in an ad-
dress last night on THE Crime of
Poverty in Unity Congregational
Church, Montclair. 1t was the third
lecture in the series on THE Problem of
Today Poverty, he said, is deeper
than the causes usually attributed for
its existence-drink. shiftlessness. in
competence and unwillingness to work.
Poverty is mostly law made said
Howe. 1T is traceable to environment,
to conditions created by law. We our
selves are responsible for poverty and
for the disease, vice and crime which
result from it,. Poverty is MOI per-
sonal, hut social. It is a product of
class and privileged legislation. The
average wage in the United states is
less thar $500. From TINS average wage
We. through our lawmakers, increase
the cost OF living and appropriate a
large part of what the worker pro-
duces. The Indirect cost of the tariff
in monopoly prices is said by experts
to be two thousand million dollars a
year, or more than 800 per capita. Mo-
nopoly railroad rates extract three
thousand million dollars more The cost
of the tariff and railroad rates is
borne mostly by the poor. We our
selves are responsible for these eondi-
tons by the laws W. have made.
Poverty can be cured just as 1T Is
created-by law. BY laws in the inter-
est of humanity rather than of privi-
lege, by laws aimed at the destruction
of monopoly. through the freeing of
trade. the highways and the national
resources of the country from private
control. There are only two cures for
poverty-one is Socialism, the other is
the single tax.

RAILROAD WINS POINT
AGAINST p. O. OFFICIALS.

Because the distance from the Bloom
field postoffice to the new depot of the
Lackawanna railroad in Glenwood ave-
nue., hat town, is seven and q half
feet more than the stipulated eighty
rods limit, within which the company
must carry the mails free the postal
authorities may have to arrange to
pay for the service. The distance was
measured by the railroad officials and
the superintendent Of the railway mail
service. The government may change
the location of the postofice to a point
nearer the town centre and within the
required limits.

escape from injury of 800 children who
were receiving holy communion in the
Church Of Our Lady of Mount Carmel,

shout as the children saw the flames
envelop the lad, and some began TO
run. but Rev. John J. Rongetti, rector
OF the church, raised his HAND and in
a loud voice asked all to remain.
Sisters of Charity We're near by, and
rushed to the aid of the blazing boy.
Several children with presence of mind
tore off their coats and wrapped these
around him. AS if by a miracle, the
tiames were ~extinguished, while the
priest Gained the congregation. His
plea that all be seated was promptly
obeyed.
Dove is studying in preparation to
devote his life to the priesthood. His
devotional duties of Yesterday took his
mind so far beyond earthly affairs that
he allowed his surplice to brush
against the lighted candle. After the
services the members of the parish
were found gathered in fours and fives,
discussing the miracle they had seen
performed.
