By DR.. CHARLES H. PARKHURST

NEITHER as individuals nor
as a community can we be
Indifferent to cases of hon
est hunger. But there are two
kinds Of sympathy, sympathy
that fosters revolt and a sympa-
thy that seeks in a rational way
to remove the occasion for re-
volt.
The unfed can not be safely
dealt with in any wholesale way,
for some OF the unfed are re-
sponsible for their own hunger
and do not deserve to be fed.
When I occupied country pas
torate was besieged by tramps
who stopped at my door and
asked for warm breakfast. The
continuance and frequency of this
appeal became eventually not only
monotonous, but suspicious.
Wouldn't Saw Wood.
I then had a couple of cords
of firewood brought into my back
yard, in fine condition to be
sawed and split. Thus fortified,
1 responded to subsequent appeals
by promising good breakfast to
everyone who would first devote
an honest hours work to that
woodpile.
The situation soon became mat
ter of common knowledge among
members of the tramp fraternity,
and inside of month my house
was as cautiously avoided by
them as though house, woodpile
and all were infected with the
plague.
Some time since l encountered
a policeman in New York City.
He called my attention to horde
of loungers stretched out on the
benches in a park.
''They don't want to work" said
he. 81 know of a little job that
is to be had. 1t does not pay very
much, but it is better than moth
ing to one who really wants to
earn a few dollars. I have been
around among them offering it to
them, but not one of them will
stir from his bench"
Loafing a Habit.
There is such a thing as get
ting into the habit of being I'M
employed and becoming thor
oughly reconciled to the idea of
being fed at the expense of 9TH
ers.
Instances like the foregoing are
not cited as proving that IL a
man has not enough to eat it is to
be assumed that 1t is his own
fault. On the contrary, it is to be
presumed that cases of honest
hunger in a large city may be
reckoned by the thousands; and
perhaps the hungriest Of them
are saying least about it.
Honest need is less likely to be
demonstrative than need that is
dishonest.
All that is proved by such in
stances as have been adduced is
that man is by nature lazy, and

Should Help Jobless. l
Every man who is sincerely
willing to work and who is kent
hungry because he can not find
anything to do. should either
have employment procured for
him or be supplied with good food
till employment is obtained.
Whether it is done by the city,
by benevolent institutions, by the
churches or by private individ-
uals, it should be done. We are
all disgraced by honest instances
of starvation or by instances Of
men, women or children that are
compelled to exist at starvation
rates.
One thing more. 1t would seem
that Lincoln Steffens IS right
when he declares that there
should be some place where the
disaffected can have full liberty
to air their views, with this quail
ification, however, that such air
ing should not be with view to
melting TO riot. It is in the inter
ests Of public safety that the Id
should not be screwed down 100

DISCLAIMERS Fearless.

ions in utter frankness and fear

wealth will procure privileges
