the Lines
For the State Highway

Seclcy Sentinel: \ party Of state
highway engineers are al work near
Seeley Strengthening out certain line
of the new state highway between DiX
leland and FL Centro preparatory to
the beginning of construction on the
road in the early fall. Il is expected
that bids for this work will be asked
for within weeks, the work to be
done under two contradictions Dix
leland to Seeley and from Scclcy to
the county seat
If it were not for the nadvisabiIitv
of laying the concrete during the hot
summer months this work would be
gin at once, as all legal and financial
obstacles have been removed. The state
highway bonds have been purchased
by the County of Imperial in sufficient
amounts to cover the cost of construc-
tion.
Preparatory work on the grading,
this being done at present by the
county to lower the cost of actual con.
structlon, is already under way, thu
road crew of supervisoraI district No.
= being hard at work on the San Diego
road between Seeley and Fl Centre.
News that will he specially welcome
to travellers on the state highway i,
that within weeks the high bridge
over the Elm canal, one of the most
dangerous crossings on the entire
road, will be entirely eliminated and 4
Siphon installed, making the road IT
this point almost level Numerous az
cidents have been narrowly avcrted a.
this point.
This information of activity ON the
state highway was given to the Sen
tlnel by Supervisor Arthur Shepard
Just before leaving for Sacramento,
where he will sign agreements with
the state for the County of Imperial
on what portions of the work will be
done by the county and by the state.
Mr.. Shepard stated that all canal
crossings would be siphoned from Dis
leland eastward this summer, but, a.
the aforementioned bridge was dan
gerous point, that this would be start
ed at once and completed not later
than two weeks.
According TO The supervisor, If ar.
rangements had not progressed as they
have he would not have waited this
long to make the Elm crossing safer.
but would have built new and wider
bridge. Now. howevcr, this Is no'
necessary, as the state specifica ton
for this work are known and it onlY
remains for the signing of the agree
mcnts between the State and county
governments before the work Will be
gin

CHARITY.-The apologists of the
presen system of society are con-
stan wishing praise and giving
publ to the rich eXploiters who
donate a few thousand dollars to
charitable societies, but never say a
word about their methods of utilizing
every opportunity of exploiting their
employees.
They are ever ready to try to blind
the masses to the fact that in a So
ciety justly organized and in which
wealth is equitably distributed char
ity would be known no more.
They claim the false idea that Go
nors of charity are animated by the
highest motives and that they give
because they are good and sympa-
thetic souls. The fact is that even
criminals have been known to aid
their victims, but never desist from
plying their trade.
| challenge any admirer of charita-
BILE institutions to prove on psyche
logical grounds that donors are not
acting from purely selfish interests.
Philanthropists take delight be-
cause there are so many victims to
whom they can dole out.a few crumbs
in order to inspire respect for them
selves in their victims, but never as
sumo any responsibility in helping
to usher in a state of human rela-
lions where charity will be known no
more.
If they were really high-minded and
noble souls as they are claimed to be
then they would not obstruct social
progress as they almost invariably
do, but would remove the cause of
the curse of charity.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-09-10

Charity is not a cure Of social ills
1t rather tends to drive society into
the very depths of disease. 1t re-
moves few social sores temporarily,
but drives the disease internally and
thus intensifies it a hundred-fold. 1t
is simply an incubation of a mild
form of disease for a greater.
The fruit of a social system which
necessitates the giving of aims is

al initiative and fosters dependence
and humiliation.
Therefore, it is the duty of all lib
erty-loving souls to enlist themselves
for the noble work of renewing the
social system which makes such mis-
cradle conditions possible and to in
augurate new system of society, a
society wherein each and every in
