GREAT SUMS NEEDED FOR
CHARITY.

During the past two years or
more there have been many appeals
to the American public for contri.
buttons to relieve the suffering of
helpless people of various nations.
There are the Belgians. the Ar
menians. the Serbs, and the hlind
soldiers of the Allies. whose hliud-
ness is caused to large extent by
the gas which the Germans have
used in battle. This week The
DEMOCRAT prints an appeal for
funds TO assist the blind.
All these charities are worthy,
At TIE same time the American
people should not overlook the fact
that there are many thousands OF
poor people in the United States
who are OIL the very brink Of
starvation because of the extra
ordinary high prices of all kinds OF
food These people III the large
cities are Just about as helpless a:
those in the European countries,
through no fault Of theirs, but
because while the price of food has
doubled and tripled. wages have
remained stationery or been raised
only small per cent.
/ Right now-today it is proba'
Bile that from three to FIVE million
dollars could he we'll spent i'll pro
viding helpless AMERICAN
women and children with the bare
necessities of life. 1t is grand ano
noble to give 10 the starving ol
other countries. but if while doin &
30 we allow some Of our own peo'
pie to starve, we believe we would
be committing hlnnder which all
our charity would fail TO cover.

help from the Goycrnment-its
wheels of justice grind entirely too
slow. The matter is up to the
people who live in the country,
end especially to the people Of the
South, for the farmers of the other
sections of the country are already
raising food crops for man and
beast and can not Increase their
acreage or the Weld.
THIS SPRING every planter
should raise the ordinary, articles
of food for his family, his tenants,
and something to supply the wants
of the people living in nearby
towns. Every one living in tow n
who has enough ground to plant
even a very small garden should
do so. If all these things were
done, we would be independent OF
the Northern and Western farmers
and the decreased demand upon
them would cause the prices to fall

BREAD RIOTS IN THE UNITED
STATES,

Newspaper reports this week tell
Of bread riots in New York and
other Eastern cities. Thousands
Of poor people are unable to pay
the high prices charged for the
necessaries of life in this country,
where crops have been good, where
there is work for every abl--bodied
man. and at a time when the nation
Is at peace with all other nations.
ltiss strange condition, and one
that should receive the prompt
attention of the officials of the
United States Government. laying
aside all the ied tape which has
been used in all former investiga-
tons. and using the power OF the
Government to lower the prices OF
the more common articles of food.
It is preposterons that such con-
ditions should exist in this coun-
try. We can understand why
why such things occur in European
countries after more than two years
OF war. but that our people should
suffer for the want of food to
sustain life without an earnest
Effort Of the President and Congress
to remedy the matter seems incred-
ible. Investigations have been
begun in a persunctory manner.
but 1t is said that it will take a
year to complete the inquiry and
that nothing can be done in the
meantime. even if we do not enter
The war. If we do 60 to war. con-
diiions will be even worse.
Perhaps we. who live in the
Country, do..uot believe it possible
that we will ever perience bread
riots, 'or that we and our children
may suffer for something to eat.
But just such a calamity could
come to US. We of the South, and
OF the Mississippi Delta in particu.
lar, depend almost entirely upon
one crop-cotton. We can not
cat cotton. but must depend upon

The collection Of works by Miss Mary
Cassatt shown at the DurandRuel gal
lery gives a fuller and better account
Of her painting than any gathered in
recent years. It leads from Femme a
P6ventail" and the Femme lisant dams
un jardn," Of 1850. to the Femme ct
enfant WI dos" of 1913. the year when
Miss Cassatt, owing to the growing
weakness Of her eyes, ceased to paint.
Between these two dates we find her
swayed by the influence of one impress
sonst or another, giving a hint of
Manet, Monet, Renoir and her especial
friend Degas. but they are hints veiled
and almost lost in the peculiar Ian
guage of her own personality. The
years show few changes, If any, in the
nature Of this language. 1t becomes
bolder and freer in color and form. 1t
loses or changes few of its character
istics.
These are notably feminine. If the
painter went to the impressonists for
the education Of her sight, as we see
her here she came away without a

subject, unless ia partie en- bateau,"
Of 1898, is more reminiscent Of the big
Manet displayed here last year than
we think it is. That "Partie en- ba
teau," in any case, reveals a decorative
power and a reserve that we had not
suspected her Of possessing. Men are
infrequcnt in her world. The silhou-
ette Of one in this canvas helps to
accentuate her interest in the mother
and child that occupy the stern Of the
boat, without wanting solidity and
reality. The expanse of water, the long
strip Of distant shore, Che languid con-
tent of the infant, whose head is
thrown back OF its mothers arm, are
recorded with a fidelity that the taste
Of the painter tempers.
She is an optimist. In this world
Of mothers and children there are few
tragedies. The color Of it is joyous
without being blatant. There are silks
and satins Of textures that vie in
smoothness with the skin Of children.
Sometimes, as i'm the "Jeune femme
cueillant un fruit" and the Femme IL
SAINT dams un jardin," there are gay
dresses Of lowered materials that give
an animation which the line often
lacks. The painter most times would

evidences Of victory appeared so read
ily that they led her into a real defeat.
