uoing' tney expect 10 get very little
.hanks Tor their labors, while they do
ee. the harsh criticisms Of a consider
auie per cent of those from whom they
ASK financial contributions for the work.
MANY consider they are comforting n
personal favor upon those public spir-
l.eu citizens who give both their time
anu thelr money to the cause for which
,ney are soliciting, when they contri-
pute OF their means to the work of
preparing to care for our sick and
wounded ON the battle fields and i'm the
camps when it is Just as much the
BUSINESS OF the one who is solicited as
IL is OF the one soliciting, to see that
,hls work Is carried on. How crafty
ing 10 those worthy workers, then,
must De such cheering and patriotic
letters as the four quoted below. We
want every one OF the Globes subscrib-
ers 10 read those letters and weigh
tnem well. If every citizen who IL
aole, would view the matter from the
STANDPOINT OF those citizens, how easy
would De to carry any worthy pro-
lect through to successful issue.
lhere Is world of difference between
eheerIui giving and giving grudgingly
