FIGHTING POVERTY.

The Saturday Evening Post calls
attention to the wastefuIness of sup.
porting, by charity, people who are
willing and able to work. There is
no doubt that if proper methods
were resorted to there would be
need of considerable less charity. In
this connection the Post says:
To anyone who looks about him,
the statement that there is less de.
mand for labor this year than last
sounds absurd. Everywhere, from
the biggest city to the smallest ham
let, there are thousand and one
needful things to be done, which
yet go undone year after year.
For example, just to put the
streets of American cities in as good
condition as the streets of Berlin
would give employment to an army.
To say that we have no use for our
labor is nonsense; but every urban

Farmers of Jefferson county, Kan
sas, refuse to sell at any price horses
for war purposes. They admit hav-
ing horses for sale, but are too at
tached to the animals to have them
sent to far-off country, probably to
be killed on battlefelds. Men are
certainly entitled to as much con-
sideration as horses, and in time
some plan will undoubtedly be
evolved that will forever end war
fare.

NINE IDEAS SENT TO ALBANY.
Jeffersonisb Alliance Not the
Father, but II Indorses Them.

Through John J. Hopper. chairman
OF its committee on constitution, the
Jeffersonian Alliance Is urging nine
ideas upon the Constitutional Conven-
ton at Albany. The ideas are not the
Alliances. but IL desires to indorse them.
They are: Proportional representa-
tioa. preferential voting, home rule for
cities, including questions of taxation
n reapportionment based on citizen pop
ulatlon only. a budget and power to en-
force II. the short ballot, the referendum,
no public utilities to be operated pri-
vately hereafter except or short term
leases. and the conservation of natural
resources.
In behalf OF proportional representa-
ton the Alliance cites the 1912 election
where Tammany Hall elected all the
State Senators from New York city with
only IS per cent. OF the total Vote
BY preferential voting Is mean: letting
each voter name his first. second and
third choice OF men for each office.
These two changes are not asked for
now The Alliance m,rely wants the
convention so TO amend the Constitu-
ton as to max them possible of adop-
ton later.
All the other ideas the Alliance
wants embodied in the new Constitution
itself. II would have a committee
OF the Assembly frame the State budget
n allow no financial bills Of any sir
to he introduced without the consent OF
two-thirds Of this committee. In the
private operation OF public utilities the
Alliance calls for leases not to exceed
twenty-five years, with recapture
clauses.
