Miss Osborn'S Report Interesting Miss Beale'S Conference Review

Presentation of the monthly report of Miss Elsie c. Osborn, the agent, and a report on the state conference Cora M. Beale, the assistant agent, constituted to the greater part of business at the monthly meeting of the New Britain Charity Organiza- ton lats evening. Miss Beale's re- port was highly interesting and in formative and was greatly enjoyed as it showed. that she had followed closely the business transacted at the conference. The reports of Miss Osborn and Miss Beale follow:

 Charity Organizations:

To the Directors of the New Britain Charity Organization:
 When Charity Organization socie- ties came upon the scene about thir- ty-fiVe years ago, it was because thinking people had discovered need of specialization in charity as we'll as other things. The relief side of phil anthropy was we'll attended to. The situation was similar to that in olden times when there were no trained fire departm ents. Then every gen. tleman had a nice leather bucket hanging in his hall at home usually with his name upon it. When there was an alarm of fire he ran home, got his bucket and went with all the neighbors to the fire. They had a fine time and after a while the fire went out. Nowadays we have sys- tenn and we have a group of men trained to put out fires.
 The people who promoted charity organization society work felt that there should be a group trained for service in philanthropy in exactly the same way. It was canny old Ben ia- min Franklin who took hand in organizing fire-fghting and it was he also who wrote, "I think the poor should be helped not so much in their poverty as out of it." Efficient poverty fighting as well as efficient fire fighting, you see.
 Two persons are involved in every philanthrOpic transaction; the giVer and the recipient" Naturally 1t fol- lows that there are two kinds of charity, according as We place the emphasis on the one Or the other. When the emphasis is on the giver we have inconsiderate philantnropy. The glow in the giver's own heart is the main thing to him and the future welfare of the recipient is of second ary importance. It is when the giver loses himself in the welfare of the un- fortunate that we find true charity.
 Ideal charity is a secret man-to-
 .t- The Ideal Charity
 man affair. The pity is. that we have outgrown the time when that alone sufficed. From experience it seems absolutely necessary to have various charitable organizations for specific purposes. Where a kind motherly old soul used to be considered an ac- ceptable nurse for any illness, we nov have we'll equipped hospitals and Visiting Nurses Associations instead Where good neighbors used to bring into their sick friends flowers and dainties, with perhaps a little gift of money tucked away inside, now adays we have real need for the or ganized good will and neighborly spirit of the Sunshine society.
 The time is past when a first se- lectman or overseer of the poor can attend to the giving of all public re- lief, so that we now have a busy and well organized Board of Public Chari- ties.
 Time was when every mother cared for her children or occasionally got a friend to lend a helping hand; now 1t is thought that we need a Day Nursery to care for children of moth CTS who go out to work. Until re- gently sickly babies who were for tunate had wise mothers and friends to assist in carrying out the doctors directions; the unfortunate babies who

of whether the public, which con-
sumes the domestic sizes of anthra-
cite, should be asked to pay, can af-

sixty cents a ton more for its coal.
1t will not.
The operators say that a great
many of the mines now operated
couldn't take care of the sixty cents
ton labor cost, or six cents or six
mills-the language is our own
because that would mean that the
whole mine output, the domestic and
the steam together, would be pro-
duced at loss. They say that all
put together the mines couldn't take
care of the added sixty cents ton
OF labor cost or any considerable
part of it, because there isn't that
difference between the present pro-
ducing cost and the selling cost.
And if that is so, we say, if the
added labor cost of sixty cents ton
must come out of the consumer, if
1t comes out of anybody, the people
will never pay it, on top of all the
other increases of price they have
had to pay since the wage award of
1902, provided there is any discov-
cradle means in their power to pre-
vent. And there surely will be the
means both for them to discover and
to exercise against an additional tax
OF sixty cents ton for anthracite,

weight had been thrown into the
scale of the anti-German side.
Diplomatically, then, it is beyond
belief that a sane conduct of the
negotiations would lead Germany to
force-a break. On the side OF eco
nomic considerations, the appeal will
be quite as strong. German pub
licists have indeed tried to convince
the German public that the whole
economic weight of America has al
ready been cast against the central
empires. But the men in authority
in Berlin know that this is not true ;
know that the tremendous resources
and credit of America, thrown to the
allies side, would add vastly to the
odds against Germany in war of
economic attrition such as seems now
to be in progress and in prospect.
The Washington times., 1916-02-05
THE INTERSTATE TIP

While the Wilson preparedness
party was in Des Moines, the Presi-
dents wife handed $5 tips to two
hotel maids, and the President gave
S and 10-cent tips to each of two
messenger boys. Now comes the
news that the President and his wife
will be 'lawbreakers if the recipients
of these gratuities shall spend the
money. If they don't spend it, there
will be no impropriety, under the
wonderful Iowa anti-tipping law.
So says a ruling by the attorney
general of the State. The beneti-
ciaries of the Presidential largess
have been notified that they may
keep their tips as souvenirs, and it
will be all right; but if they spend
the money, then both they and the
Presidential personages become, ipso
facto, lawbreakers.
One wonders what would become
of the country's currency supply if
that ruling should be generally en-
forced. The withdrawal of the en-
tire volume of tipping change to the
function of souvenirs would mean a
dangerous contraction Of the circu-
lation.
The case ought to be appealed.
Why, under the commerce clause Of
the Constitution, should Iowa be al
lowed to interfere with interstate
commerce tips? A Federal tip. such
as the Presidents, ought not to be
the concern of State law, any more
than interstate and foreign COM
merce are to be regulated by State
statute.
Down with the provincialism that
would undertake to engulf US all in
the ruin that must follow general
application of such a rule! Iowa may
be able to struggle along without tip
ping itself; but the rest of US would
starve if we must needs wait for the
services of untipped walters. Our
situation is precarious enough, even
as matters stand now.
