THE CH|LDREN'S
FREE PICNIC

The following letter and answer
thereto are self-explanatory
Chicago, June 1, 1915.
Mr. Chas. F. Hunt,
City.
My Dear Friend: -.a
Childrens Day, which means an An
nual Free Picnic for all the needy
children of Chicago, has become an
important part in the life of these
little street urchins.
The twenty-five years experience
we have had in this kind of work in
Chicago has convinced us, beyond all
doubt, as to the far reaching and bene-
fetal effects Of this event. We will
furnish all the willing workers need
ed, but must depend on our friends
to supply the finances.
Hoping you will come to our assist
ance in this worthy effort, I am,
Sincerely yours,
.(Signed) E. FIELDING,
Mayor General
Chicago, June 2, 1915.
Major General E. Fielding,
The Volunteers of America
Dear Sir:
Your annual appeal for the picnic
for NEEDY children" grows each veal
more farcical. These children are
every day in a condition of slavery;
one day of feed and frolic must make
the rest more dreary to them. They
enjoy fewer picnics and feel more
hunger than did the negro slaves.
You would probably have been an
abolitionist seventy years ago. Why
not now? The slave law then the ap
parent cause; now the cause is not SO
plain, but it is known, although we
had an expensive commission recently
going over the country, seeking the
cause of poverty and misery.
Ages ago the fighting men found
robbing the producers irksome, So
they claimed the source of products
THE LAND, and let it out to pro
ducers at rents that left bare living.
The economic power of the feudal sys-
tenn still controls; we depend upon
land now as did the first forms Of
animal life, or the savages that knew
nothing of land laws; but we allow
a few to hold the land, and exploit the
rest. Henry George told us how to
release their hold by increasing the
present land tax. For thirty-five years
this plan has stood every test of logic
and justice, but you seem never to
have heard of it. One feed in year
for children is too trifling for your
Army. You advocate religion; does
your religion oppose equal rights to
the land which is claimed, but was
not created, by land holders?
C. F. HUNT.
Mr.. Hunts reply is to the point. It
is clear enough that the organization
which gives free picnics, knows about
poverty and distress, If it |
s doing nothing to remove the cause
# this state of acairs, it should not |
eall on men who are to divert their
,fforts into another channel It may
call on those who are up
holding existing conditions, for these |
ire responsible for all the trouble and
Misery resulting therefrom Their /
contributions to charity are in the ma
ure of small measure of compensa-
ion for injury done the victims of
that they uphold. Mr.
Iunt's lister shows the proper way to
