CHARACTER, NOT LAW.

More incompetent men ride into of
flee masqueraded in the guise Of re
form than competent men who are rea
reformers, but who refuse to endorse
fake nostrums as a bride for votes.
The weak citizen is always clamorine
for more statutory support. Vague
Incorporate, fmpulsive and radical en-
actments lead invariably to confusion,
distrust and disaster. There should be
more stability In ordered procedure
just as surely as in individual conduct.
These are truisms inculcated in
Americans BY the founders of the
government and vigorously adhered to
until the last decade or two. Now men
call on n another in the aggregate to
control themselves by law because
they are unable Individually to control
themselves. They would substitute
enactments for the character which
they have failed to develop, and as they
cry In their weakness other weaklings
crowd with them.
The greatness OF a people is not
found in the multiplicity Of their laws,
but In unwritten laws and customs ac-
cording to which they conduct them
toward their fellows. stringency
Of statutes is q good sign Of natural
feebleness, evensa ~forerunner of de-
cadence. One good administrator Of
laws is better than a hundred mere
statutes which may ;or may not be en-
forceable.

SWEET CHARITY"

The American people are rather
large hearted. The proceeds Of charity
entertainments are enormous. But the
sweet charity, Of these functions IL
sometimes mixed with dross. the glitter
Of pretty girls. stylish gowns, and the
desire to climb socially. So they are
not aiwayts atrue criterion Of the giving
spirit. The real test comes when pub
lie aid Ia asked for some big calamity
like the recent Salem fire.
People who canvas for such causes
often find . pathetic willingness to
help on the part Of those who them
selves are In need of assistance. The
woman with the bare cupboard some
times gives just as much In cash as
another with a lavish dwelling, but
whose means are narrowed by social
competition.
Many people will never give to any
kind Of a cause unless they are per-
sonaily solicited. And the omission
ls not necessarily because they have
forgotten the appeal. The fear lest a
solicitor size them up as parsimonious
Influences them more than the suffer-
ings Of the needy.
There is an enormous amount of
giving going on all the time that never
gets reported In the papers, o is 1t
found IN the records of any charity
society. In the country the sick neigh
Dor finds that in some mysterious way
his crop has been harvested, or his
wood pile put under cover. In city
sluEn streets the warm hearted poor
seem to have practically a common
purse.
It renews ones faith in human ma
ture to find money flowing in freely
such q disaster as the Salem fire.
But It u unfortunate that some people
are moved only by the sight of physical
want. They will give money to feed
The hungry and clothe the naked, which
the highest praise. But some
Tow the 90 lack vision as to refuse help
o the school that would help the
children Of the hungry and naked to
Use above the need of charity.
