characterized as lone OF Murphy's up

Mr.. Carmody is using every means AT MS

should the facts warrant It he will put
the case in the hands OF a grand jury.
The question 10 be decided first IS
whether Mr.. Sulzer merely sought con-
fcssion from Stlwell, or told him tnat
he wanted confession, in order TO drive
out Of public life Charles F. Murphy, the

Reducing the Human Scrap Heap
1.-THE OLD AND THE NEW WAY"

i think the best way of doing good to the poor,
said Benjamin franklin, is not by making them in
poverty, but by lifting them of it..
Fifty years ago charity governed by the heart
alone.
Suffering lessened, but not prevented.
The poor simply made easy in poverty
q Modern charity-the kind practised by the A. l.
c. Pts mpeed or stimulated by the heart, guided
directed by the head.
Food is still supplied for the hungry clothes for the
naked and homes for those who otherwise would
be turned into the street or sent to the poorhouse
q But modern charity does
1t works TO remove the cause which made the family
dependent and to prevent the return of poverty
1t leads them of poverty and beyond the need
of helping hand
The efficient charity of to-day only keeps fam
lilies from suffering but also does what vastly
mportant-it teaches, advises and directs them help
themselves to become selfsupportng
1t puts them their feet again and labors to equip
them to maintain their independence.
That is-it rehabitates.
Heart charity alone touches the surface.
1t works only in and for the present

of poverty and stops their growth
