THE CAUSES OF POVERTY

There is much material for careful
study in the report of the conference
this week of the Associated Chart
ties and District Volunteer Workers.
1t summarizes the appeals for relief
for the six months ending March
81, and their causes. The inevitable
deduction is that large majority
Of the appeals could be avoided if
Congress were to provide this city
with the institutions for which it has
been asking.
For example, in 33 per cent Of the
cases unemployment was the cause
of the difficulty. The charity or
ganization frankly states that ineffi-
cheney was the cause in a majority
of these cases. Several sections Of
this city, most recently the south
east, have been pleading for voca-
tional schools. They are bound to
come, and when they do come, this
inefficiency will be reduced greatly
In fifty-eight appeals feeble-minded-
ness lay back of the request for aid
Washington has been urging upor
Congress the necessity for an insti'
tuition for feeble-minded. It would
cost money, but would cost less thar

A KIND WORD FOR DAD

Father Is to be made the principal
feature in the scheme Of things Of
the Baby Week campaign managers
today. This is Fathers Day."
Throughout the city the efforts Of
the good men and women interested
in the movement to teach better care
Of children will be directed toward
the traditional head Of the family.
The well balanced, properly gov
erned home is a cooperative institu-
ton in which each of the controlling
units plays q most important part
and where as much Of the respon-
sibility for success rests upon one as
upon the other.
Fatherhood is as high calling as
any man could aspire. It's spiritual
and economic responsibilities and
opportunities are quite as great as
those Of motherhood. There is no
greater spiritual triumph in life
than that which comes to the father
of family of children Of healthy
minds and bodies. There is no greater
economic contribution to the general
good Of humanity than presenting II
with young men and women whose
minds and bodies have been trained
to be of real service to their kind.
The influence Of father In the care
of the babies, Of the growing chill.
dren and the budding manhood and
womanhood Of the country's youths
is far greater than most fathers
imagine. Social workers know that
much Of the carelessness they FIND
in the rearing Of children is due to
the lack Of interest Of the father
They know that failure on his part
to cooperate with the mother in see
ring that the children get proper
food, proper clothing, enough fresf
air, not only doubles the mother
work in this direction, but frequentl,
nullifies it entirely. And this doe
not mean an interest manifested
solely by providing the money will
which these things can be accom-
plished.
Mother and Father are big word
in any language, big in meaning, bi,
in opportunity. They are the mos
cherished words of childhood. 1t il
| the fault of those that bear them i
they are. not the most cherished
through life. It is entirely proper
therefore, that any institution or or
ganization which sets about raisin,
the standard of child welfare, shoul,
devote some of its effort towar'
father.
Fathers Day is an important par
of Baby Week. 1t is to be hope
that its recognition today will be il
keeping with its Importance.

WHAT DID MR.. ROOT MEAN ?

Elihu Root perhaps could not be
elected President; but there is lit
tie dissent nowadays from the opin7
ION that he is one Of the ablest
publicists in this country or in the
world. He has been head Of the ma
tons foreign Office, one Of the most
efficient Secretaries Of State in our
history. He has been, too, par
ticularly successful head Of the War
Department. As well as any man
living, he knows the elements that
must be weighed in passing judy
ment on the state of our relations
with the world.
He is, moreover, man Of moder-
alton in statement; Of all confluence
and conservatism in expression. He
uses no word that means more than
the thought it is intended to convey.
Addressing chapter Of the Red
Cross yesterday, Mr.. Root warned
them that their services would very
probably be needed, as he felt that
war is coming to this country" This
IS the CRATIC obliqua. in which the
New York World states the warn
ing. Then it falls into the direct
quotation Of Mr.. Root:
There are several results from this
world war which are liable to lead
our country into either subservience
or war. The liberty for which
America stands Is likely to be taken
away unless some Of us make sacri-
fees.
Such words mean much when they
come from Elihu Root. 1t is not diff
fcult to understand what they mean.
Mr.. Root sees with clear vision.
The future is to him more nearly
open than to men who have had less
opportunity to know the things he
has known, to see the things he has
seen, to play the part in the world
that has been his.
What does it mean to men who
are trying determinedly to defeat
Sthe little measure Of preparedness
than, this country has in prospect
through the Senate army bill?
Are these men incapable of seeing
anything, of believing when they
sec, Of crediting anybody with a
vision that they do not possess?

WATERING THE cow

g. People for the most part don't
drink milk because it is white or be-
cause 1t is wet. They drink it be-
cause II is a food, and they expect
it to sustain and nourish them. What
shall we say, then, Of the proposal
to remove the Department Of Agri-
cultures standards of milk content :?
1t was seriously suggested at a
conference that the Government re-
quirements as to butter fat and
solids not fat be abolished, and that
the Australian system, which de-
mands only purity, be substituted.
1t was argued that the present
standard, 1926 per cent of butter fat
and 8.5 per cent of solids not fat, is
too high. Inspection of thousands of
head of mich cattle was cited, in
which it was stated that high per-
centage of the animals could not
produce milk Of this richness.
Did not, would be better phrase
for there was nothing to show tina,
many of the cows producing that
low-standard milk got any more at.
tention than milking twice day and
pasture to Craze in. Raising q
crop in cow is just like raising
one outside of tit requires care
intelligence, and knowledge.
But assume that the cows coulc
not produce milk up to the standard
That would simply prove the stan
dard is too high, not that Their,
should be no standard at all. 70,

and further adds las powerful induce

II this manufacturing concern Is al

others from coming in and how long

stacks and other disagreeab,e features

In the eyes of a certain greedy class OF

the pleasure of scooping few more

Lansing to Act at Request OF
Former President Taft, Of

Secretary OF State Lansing Is pre-

against its refusal to permit American
Red Cross shipments from the United
States to Germany,
Specific request for diplomatic action
IL made in a letter from former Presi-
dent Taft, chairman OF the central COM
mittee OF the Red Cross. Mr.. Taft in
sists the action OF the British govern

ment of hospital supplies to Germany Is
in violation OF the Geneva convention.
to which the United States and all the
belligerents are signatories.s
The concession made by Great Britain
that IL will allow hospital supplies

concession at all, Mr.. Taft says. because
