The performance given last night is
regarded as one OF the best the GonZaga

other property.
In striking degree the association
is turning from cure to prevention.
Valuable work in preventive medi-
cine has been undertaken. Widows
with children are being pensioned
in proportion to their needs. It has
been made increasingly dangerous
for husbands and fathers to desert
their charges. Three food stores
which are models in economical Of
ferings and in sanitation have been
opened within the year. Two note
worthy and apparently successful
experiments have been made-a
kitchen which cooks for families
where the wife or mother is en-
ployed all day, and a laundry which
does thirty pounds Of family wash
ing for rs cents for those who live
in tenements where there is no run
ming hot water and no stationary
tubs.
Is it too much to hope that under
the leadership of this and other far
seeing organizations we shall ulti-
mstely do away with great proper
ton of preventable poverty?

MITIGATING UNEMPLOYMENT

For the first time the New York
Association for Improving the Con-
dition of the Poor last year expended
more than three-quarters of a mil
lion dollars in relief-to be exact,
S786,000. The reason, of course, was
the industrial crisis, with so much
unemployment. The relief bureau
of the organization cared for 10000
families in the year ended September
80, and in February had on it's hands
at one time 5000 families, represent
10000 persons.
But all this is history. The most
interesting feature of the annual re-
port of Bailey B. Burritt, general
director, is it's consideration of the
future. Despite the lesson of the
past winter, he comments, nothing
has been done by the community
toward establishing permanent plans
for dealing with unemployment.
The real remedy, obviously, lies
with industry itself, but the city
State, and nation can in measure
prevent the recurrence of such acute
distress. For one thing, the associa,
tion suggests that one of its owr
ideas might be expanded to impor.
tant proportions. Last winter it ar
ranged to give unemployed mer
three days of work weekly at max
ing roads. draining. clearing. anc

PROBLEM IN REAL MORALS

Occasionally some grim jest or
prank of circumstance defies the
most rigid and inflexible rules of
ethics. "Thou shalt not kill" has
been written in all codes Of law, and
in most religions, since the worlds
first recorded lawgiver laid down his
decalogue. Occasionally some "un-
written law" supersedes this other
law, but seldom with any general
approval.
Out in Chicago is case that is
setting the moralists by the ears. A
child, with body and mind warped
and deformed, lies dying, because a
physician refuses to perform an op-
GRAFTON which might save its life,
but which could not set straight its
crippled mind or body. The physi-
clan declines to perform the opera
tion because he believes it would be
immoral to save a life which not
only would be a curse to the person
himself, but might multiply and
start a line of detectives. In the
physicians decision the parents con.
cur.
With modern eugemc knowledge
and the memory of such families as
those of the Kalliaks and the Jukes
most persons are likely to agree that
there is an exception to the Law
against killing, which is the same
thing as permitting to die. But some
moralists in Chicago threaten lega
action against the physician. The,
may be acting from conviction, bu
it is often a matter of wonder tha
there always are persons who fee
that right and wrong are matters S,
simple that any child can decid,
them for his neighbors. Miss Jan,
Adams, eminent citizen of the cit,
where the ethical battle wages
never said a truer thing than tha
the determining of right and wron,
often is as difficult as doing tn
right.

He pointed to the ancient idea that
retail prices in Washington are un-

it is the duty of Capital merchants
to controvert this idea at every step.
They have been doing it on such ex-
