How The Giver Is
Benefited
BY Charles T. Andrews.

The quality of mercy is not strained,
1t droppeth like the gentle dew from
Heaven;
1t is twice blessed; it blesseth him
that
Gives and him that takes"
The quality which Shakespeare thus
attributes to mercy appertains to every
benevolent act 1t is particularly
manifested in giving for the good of
others. Such giving blesses not only
the recipient, but the giver, and every
blessing is a benefit.
The benefits to the giver may take
several forms. They bring a sense of
noble satisfaction in the consciousness
of having lightened the burden of a
fellow being, assauged a grief. or per
chance saved life, or Of having pro-
NOTED the general welfare of the COM
munity. Again the benefit of giving
comes In a broader view. If the Civ
ing be intelligent, il has been preced-
ed by thoughtful attention to the sit
uation which suggested the gift The
awakened interest will doubtless lead
to further Investigations and extended
knowledge Of the Social conditions
which created the necessity for Civ
ing. Hence the giver becomes a wiser
man in deeper sympathy with the I'M
fortunate in their trials. difficulties
and hardships Perchance he may
originate some plan for mitigating if
not removing some Of these evils.
If in order TO make his gift he was
compelled to self-sacrifice depriving
himself of luXuries or possibly of COM
forts, he will find a benefit in the dis
cipline of this very sacrifice. To a
certain extent he will have put him
self in the other fellows place and
henceforth can more fully appreciate
the problems presented in Social ser
vice.
Perhaps the greatest benefit to the
conscientious giver comes from a
sense of cooperation with the forces
that make for good in the universe.
Feebly, indeed, but still in reality he
is working in unison with the Being
who "maketh the sun to shine on the
evil and the good, and sendeth his
rain on the just and the unjust" who
giveth to all willingly, and upbraideth
not" To reach a state of such unset
fishness and broad charity, is a most
wonderful benefit and makes him in

MAKING GUARDsMEN REGULARS.

Every friend of the national guard
is pleased with the present tendency
to give that useful and patriotic body
the recognition it deserves.
The guardsmen had a long, hard
struggle against public indifference,
lack of funds and actual discrimina-
ton against them on the part of en-
ployers. But all that is rapidly chang
ing. with the new interest in military
matters inspired by the demand for
better national defense.
The secretary of war has taken
stand which, if maintained, will give
the militia vastly increased prestige.
He announces that. as part of the ad-
ministraton's plans for re-Organiza-
ton of the army. he proposes 10 give
the national guardsmen the status #
regular soldiers. Any militia detach-
ment, if his plan goes through, may
be taken over just as it is, the officers
keeping their commands, and every
member. whether officer OF private,
having the title and salary prescribed
for the regular army.
All this is excellent There is an
other reform, however. which has
been tentatively suggested and might
be even more fruitful of good results.
The chief stumbling block OF the ma
tional guard has always been the liza
bility of guardsmen TO serve as police
in suppressing riots, putting down
strikes, etc. The frequent use OF the
militia in labor disputes has given
labor organizations a strong prejudice
against it. nd that prejudice inter-
feres seriously with the proper devel-
Opment OF the militia as an adequate
auxiliary to the regular army. The
opposition of union labor has cooper
ated with the natural objection of
most citizens 10 such duties, and thus
kept down the enlistment

1t should be borne in mind that
none of these benefits are dependent
upon the total amount given. The
only relation arithmetic has with
them is in the matter of proportion
of the gift to the ability A dime
from the struggling laborer; a. penny
from the little child may react with
greater benefit than a million dollars
from a Rockefeller or a Rothschild-
1t all depends upon the spirit in the
giving. In order to attain the fullest

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY
SHORT-LIVED CALAMITY.
(Toledo Blade.)


A year ago the United States was
bracing itself in preparation for a
hard winter. The war had knocked
the foundation out from under Amer
lean industry. The stock exchanges
were closed. The banks demanded the
most perfect security before they
would make loans In the reports of
the mercantile agencies, the mum Der
of failures was sickening. Railroads
were taking off trains. Vessel owners
on the lakes were competing like mad
men for the all too few grain charters.
We all knew there was to De extreme
hardship, break-lines, soup-kitchens,
the crowds of hopeless, hungry men
around the employment agencies.
In the year. the factories have
leaped from idleness into an industry
in which time is a most precious pos
session. The exchanges are forced
to establish new rules TO hold back the
tide of speculation. Money is plen-
tiful and cheap. A new low record
was recently made in failures. The
railroads are busy and the grain man
who wants to bring down wheat from
the upper lakes has hard work getting
a vessel. Unemployment has disap-
peared.
Calamity in America is OF few days
and highly subject to reversals.

THE EMBEzzLING TOURISTS.

IL is notorious that American cit
zens regard Uncle Sam as an easy
mark. And yet it seems as if patriot
ism. decency and plain gratitude
ought to impel those whom Uncle sam
helped home when the war started to
pay back the money advanced them.
The list OF delinquents recently
made public by the federal treasury
department has given the country
shock If the citizens thus pilloried
are not ashamed of themselves, the
nation is ashamed of them. 1t was
the nation that provided the money.
The stranded tourists were in Europe
for their own business or pleasure; it
was an act of gratuitous beneyolence
for the nation TO lend them funds to
bring them safely home. The ad-
vances were accepted as loans. But it
seems that a great many citizens, even
while promising to repay them, really
regarded them as gifts. The most
shameful thing about it is that so
many hundreds of the tourists gave
fictitious names or addresses. Their
action was plain embezzlement. South
Bend has examples.
The committee that disbursed the
$2,75O,OO0 provided by congress may
have been careless, but it was hard to
be careful in such an emergency. The
committee trusted to American honor
with the result that Uncle Sam is out
several hundred thousand dollars, and
will be far less willing next time to
help citizens in distress.
There is 20 undue pressure or un-
pleasant publicity for those who rec
ognize the obligation and want to pay
when they can; but the others richly
deserve having their names printed
and having suits brought against them.
