Providing Work for the Unen,n,oxed

Providing Work for the Unemployed
HERE is growing public sentiment in
FAVOR or an emergency appropriation by
the CITY Council to meet the conditions OF
unemployment now existing in Richmond.
II the city can provide work for any con-
siderable number Of the men rendered idle
by the financial depression from which the
country Is just beginning to emerge, IL should
do so.
1t is obvious that men ought not to be en-
ployed on work that is valueless to the COM
munity; that would be a mere perversion Of
the charitable impulse 1t is equally obvious
that only those men should be employed who
are capable of efficient manual labor and
willing to give that service.
That there Is work to be done is clear.
Tho city will consult its own best interests
by having that work done now, rather than
deferred to some time in the indefinite future
1t Is of the highest consequence to the com
munity that it's mechanics and unskilled
toilers shall remain here, where they have
established. their homes and are rearing their
families. Many Of these classes will not be
able to do So unless employment is provided,
either by the city or through some other
agency.
These men do not want unrequited assist
ance. Their self-respect is as dear to them
as that of the merchant, OF banker, or pro-
fessional man to him. Their plea is for a
Chance to toll, that they and their families
may be clothed and fed. Whenever man
who is able to work and wants to work is
denied that opportunity, civilization to that
extent has proved itself inefficient and civili-
cations governmental agencies should do
what they can to make the deficiency good.
Whatever the city government does will
not answer the whole need. There will be
many calls on charity, organized and indi-
vidual, to which Richmond must respond
The situation is such that those who are rich
and prosperous and that immensely larger
number who are merely comfortable and Sc
cure, will be derelct If they fail to share as
their varying fortunes admit with the weak
the homeless and the suffering.

RICHARD Garfield DEAD.
Proprietor of Gambling Joints Was Also
Art Connoisseur.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10. = Richard
Garfield. widely;known sporting man
of New York and Saratoga, died last
night ut his home in this city from
cerebral hemorrhage resulting from {;
fracture of the. skull sustained in d
fall on the subway stairway on Thurs
day Garfield, who was Sc, was general
ly rated millionaire. He was noted
as proprietor of palatial gambling
houses in New York city and at Sara
toga Springs, n. Y, and as an art con-
noisseur. A friend of Whistler, he had
q collection of that artist S paintings
which he valued at $500 900, and which
was considered second only to that of
Charles l.. Freer of Detroit. This col
lection he sold last spring to an art
company in New York. His Chippen-
dale furniture, reputed to be the most
valuable private collection In the world,
was valued at $lJ0,00O, and ,include6
u great cabinet, which was said to be
the most costly single piece Of Chippen-
dale in cxictence. ?. b
Many of his art treasures adorned
the rooms of his gambling establish
ment on East FortY-fourth street in
New York city, which, for years was
one of the most widely-known houses of
chance in the, country. In December,
1902, this place was raided by District
Attorney Jerome and the police, and
Garfield S manager, David w. Buck
lin, was arrested and later indicted as
a common gambler. Mr.. Jerome ut
that time declared Garfield was a much
greater menace to the community than
any ordinary gamblers, because he
openly deiied the law The district at.
torney added that if Garfield did not
come in and plead guilty to being Il
common gambler within As hours he
would prosecute him to the limit of the
law. Garfield then took a trip west
Sensational John Doe proceedings at
which wealthy society men were sub
poenaed to appear as witnesses follow
ed.
Later Garfield. returned quietly to
New York and sailed for Europe, being
on the high seas before any but his
intimate friends knew of his departure.
His lawyers said that he had gone
abroad to have his portrait painted by
Whistler, but il was commonly report
ed that he had chosen to exile himself
as long as Jerome was public prosecut-
or. In May, 1908, he returned under
an assumed name, was recognized on
the pier, and, after consultation with
his lawyers, went to the criminal courts
building to face charges that might
be pending against him. Two years of
legal warfare followed, at the. end OF
which Garfield was fined 81 600 as a
common gambler. $50

MEAT PRICES TO SOAR SOON.
European Armies Eating Beef Faster

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-shortage in the
worlds meat supply and still higher
prices in the near future for con
sumers in the United States are seen

shortage is, due to the immense guam
ties of meat consumed by the armies
of Europe, beef being used faster than
ii is being produced There are only
two fields from which to draw-Ar-
gentina and Australia.
Live stock men assert that there has
