Why are countless thousands Of hui
man beings suffcrinf for sufficient
iDD1 and proper raiment? When
Was IN ST. Louis during the month Of
December last over four thousand
homeless and jobless men were fed
at one Of the soup houses conducted
by Mr. Hoffman OF that city. and
number Of other soup houses were
also In operation. This is a condition
that should not exist in a country like
ours, with all the ineXhautsabls re-
sources Tor creating prosperity WHY
tnis dep.ordble condition OF constant
lack ~ employment? I regret 20 say.
sc-lol9glsts have as yet failed 20 solve
the problem. Personally I am in
o.-uec 20 believe that our entire e-r-
noIic condition needs complete
transformation, and Furthermore I am
