ITO Promote the
General Welfare"
BY Or FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1916. by Frank Crane)

Referring to the justly celebrated and
well-known constitution, there is a clause
therein which | wonder if we have over
looked. 1t is something to the effect
that 1t is the business of government to
promote the general welfare.
In the first flush of our national life
we were so intoxicated with the ideas
Of liberty and equal rights that we were
indifferently aware to the equally impor-
tant item of public duty.
We have discovered that individual
freedom, when not accompanied by civic
conscience, does not insure democracy at
all but brings us again into bondage, the
bondage TO the money king, the CRATER,
and the professional partisan. who are
quite as effective for robbery and soul
duggery as were kings and mobiles.
Dr. ID. F. Garland, director Of public
welfare in Dayton, says that the old no.
ton that society ought to leave it's men,
bers alone, all to look after their own
interests, provided they do not employ
direct fraud or force against their neigh
bors, has now come to be regarded. in
the language of Thomas Arnold. as lone
Of the falsest maxims that ever pandered
to human selfshness under the name Of
political wisdom"
Between the people and the ostensible
government there has grown a real gov
eminent composed of compact. interlock-
ed, omnipotent, and irresponsible wealth
units.
This governing body's growth has been
due TO our over-emphasis upon liberty
and our neglect of civic conscience.
Results
We have accumulated undreamed-of
wealth. but . per cent Of the people own
80 per cent of it; hence unhealthy plu-
tocracy with its septic influence upon the
morals and standards of the commons,
and extreme poverty with its usual dan
gers.
Failure to distribute immigrants prop
erly. 40 that 90 per cent Of them go to
the already overcrowded cities, while 10
per cent Of our arabic land is cultivated.
Six billion dollars spent annually by
the United States in institutions TO take
care of the broken-down members of So
ciety.
Millions idle during the winter months.
Almost three million children with no
schooling.
Minors working in factory stores,
mines, and fields. when they should be
in school.
State institutions becoming more and
more crowded with the insane, feeble
minded. criminals. perverts, and physical
and moral deGenerates.
One hundred thousand people year
injured by the machinery Of industry.
One eighth of the babies not living
TO complete their first year.
Provincial sefshness dominant in con-
gross. with lack of patriotism and OF
political vision.
We are learning slowly the truth ex-
pressed by Henry George:
Social reform is not to be secured by
noise and shouting; by complaints ana
denunciation; by the formation OF par
ties or the making of revolutions; but
by the awakening of thought and the
progress of ideas. Until there be cor
rect thought there cannot be right &C
ton. and when there is correct thought
right action will follow. Power is IN the
hands of the masses of men. What OPP
presses the masses is their own igno-
rance their own short-sighted selfish
ness"

from Another Pointer NieD
By c. T. s.

A Detroit Judge has decided that a
check is not legal tender. 1t is tough
when il comes back.
Henry Spunge, 10, was sent to Jail in
Peoria, H., as a tippler It looks very
much as if they may have jailed the orig
inal old soak.
The way some of the opposition
newspapers are showing them up, leads
to conclusion that man-eating sharks
do not advertise.
Says a writer criticising the Demo
cratic administration at will take
months to put the National Guard in
shape for service in Mexico. 1t is short
of men, who can finally be accepted, and
necessary equipment. All this despite
the fact that the Mexican problem has
been with us several years" That's pref
ty tough on the last Republican admins

"A Detroit Man Who
Sells Coal Is Mindful That
He is Also a Father!


And, again, there is the case of W. l..
Wilson.
Wilson is a coal dealer on the west side
Of the city.
He is president of the West Fort-st.
Business Mems association.
There was meeting of the West Side
Dry club, in a church out Wilson's way
the other night, attended by so members,
which, we submit, was some attendance,
the weather considered.
Up to the hour of this meeting, Will
son had entertained view that many
business men hold that, while being for
prohibition himself. it would be dam
SERIOUS thing for him to do to let the fact
beeome generally known.
But Wilson got up in this meeting and
made this declaration:
"IF WORKING FOR STATEWIDE
PROHIBITION is GOING TO HURT
Ny BUSINESS, THEN MY BUSINESS
WILL HAVE TO SUFFER"
II HAVE A GROWING FAMILY
AND HAVE A RIGHT TO DO ALL l
CAN FOR THEM, AND THAT IN
CLUDES REMOVING THE TEMPTA-
TON OF THE SALOON. FROM NOW
ON. YOU CAN COUNT ON Me AC-
lively IN THE CAMPAIGN"
There was another speech made at
this meeting-a very pat speech, taken
n connection with the coal dealers dec
laration Of principles.
This other speech was:
I'm ORDER TO WIN, THE DRY
MOVEMENT IN MICHIGAN MUST
NOT BE CONFINED WHOLLY TO
THE PREACHER AND POET"
Forcefully true, that speech.
II prohibition is going to win in Mich
. igan this fall, there must be the open
and acknowledged sympathy, its sup
porters will have to come into the open,
just as w. L. Wilson did in this dry
meeting, and declare themselves.
The timidity of men in business to
frankly acknowledge their opposition to
booze and the saloon has kept the
breath of life In the booze monster and
has been shield for the fangs with
which he has reached into homes and
yanked sons from firesides.
The preacher and the poet, those who
have bravely waged the campaign
against alcohol in Michigan for years,
cannot win the battle alone.
They must have support, WORKERS.

AS a matter Of fact, most Of the men
appointed were men entirely without
experience in either diplomacy or for
