as he explained that wearing so good suit, by
making him look prosperous, might cost him his
job. The second man refused the suit from fear
Of the police; they so busy watching the un-
employed that he might be accused Of stealing The
third man accepted the suit and took it to pawn
shop.

The correspondent writes as if she found the
experience very discouraging But l can't see why
it should be. OF the first man to refuse the suit
she wrote if he were an actor. His dressing ac-
cording to his situation in life she regarded as
playing a part. But he did what most people do
all the time in life. The difference between him
and the majority OF the so-called well-to-do was
that, instead of dressing up to his situation, he
dressed down.

But this kind of deciding we all like, don't we?
And how like to decide for the poor, especially
when we do something for them. We want to
strike bargain, to make them do we think they
ought to do. But they determined to be, in
so far they can, independent. They wish to
decide for themselves. They object to being the
slaves even of their bcnefactors.

I'VE believe in Billy Sunday because

about his Masters business, shaking our

AS for the man that did take the suit and sold
it to the pawnbroker | confess that l find him
rather appealing. Hc knew enough not to let a
good thing go by and, like so many of the wcll-to-
do, he lived for the moment. | have a notion that
he sold the suit in order to get drunk. But here
l may be doing the poor injustice. We
always suspecting them of wanting to get drunk.
We know that they like to forget their state. When
they are drunk they are often unaware that they
are poor To that visitor at the pawnbrokers the
suit may have represented the only poetry known
in his life, noxication, the grosser the better fol-
lowed by a period of oblivion, another joy. He
may have made good bargain. Why should we
decide for him from our limited and prejudiced
and unimaginative point of view?

THE RIFT.
Hard indeed it is to see
Good in Wars mad riotry,
Yet beside the life-blood shed
In the grewsomc carnage red
Flow torrential streams that start
From the well-springs of the heart,
Loosened by Wars misery
Streams of loving sympathy
Urging on the fighting brood
To the Ports of Brotherhood.

That second man to refuse the suit OF clothes
opened up a theme worth considering. He was
afraid OF the police. Perhaps he had already had
more less intimate dealings with them. The
poor much closer to the police than the rest of
US. Glance, for example, over the people detained
in the city Jail. They a sorry-ooking lot If
one of them happens to be fairly we'll dressed
he stands out from among them and excites
curiosity and wonder 1t is not surprising then
that all the extreme poor should be under sus-
picion. They ought to be used to suspicion as
not TO mind it, to accept it part OF their destiny
But some of them, strange to say, get used
to it and never cease to be resentful about it. On
the other hand, some of them are so afraid of it
that they very careful to avoid, in far
they can, the appearance of wrong doing. Servants
for example including women-scrvants, when
jewelry money is lost in the house, become
scared almost out of their wits. Sometimes women
servants will begin to cry, exceedingly foolish
proceeding on their part likely to add to suspicion
The Washington herald., 1915-01-09

Then there is another reason why the poor are
so afraid OF suspicion. If it lands them in jail
they have no redress. There is to bail
them out. There is to rush down in an
automobile, very important looking and very in
dignant, to protest against this injustice, and to
overawe the police officers and make them won
der il there has not been mistake. When their
cases dismissed as mo case" as often hap
pens, when they simply let out, often
happens, too, there is nothing for them to do ex-
cept to go home, if they have home and act as
if nothing happened OF course, they are likely
now to be suspected by the rest OF the poor that
know them, by their neighbors, and more less
disgraced For though what YOU and l call dis
grace is common enough among the poor, it docs
not cease to be disgrace. 1t is false to say so
many people do say, that the poor have shame
of arrest or shame of violations of the law. 1t
is also false to say that there social dis
tinctions among them or evidences OF snobbish-
ness In this regard, we'll in many other
human ways, they are very like the rich
