Legislative work"

Congressman Bennett OF New York
was talking on the floor OF the house
the other day and Ben Hilliard of
Colorado asked him to yield just for
an eentsy -teentsy bit while he asked
a question. The nature OF the ques-
tion does not concern US, but Bennett
replied:
I'm Yankee and so I'll answer the
gentleman's question by asking anoth-
er question" And he did SO.
'T'm q bit OF Yankee myself" re-
piled Hilliard, "and I'll answer the
gentleman's question by asking anoth.
er question"
Whereupon Bennett fell back on his
Yankee prerogative and asked still
another question.
Thus the thing went on until one ot
them got tired and they called It fifty
fifty-with none Of the questions an
swered.

our MISTAKEN CHARITY.

The season is again with us when
Sweet Charity" dons her glad rags
nd ambles forth on her mission of So
.alled mercy.
Mission curs-y" would be a more
tpproI riate term.
Nine-tenths of the charity OF the
,ge in its present form is curse TO tn"
.ecipient rather than a blessing.
Three asses of unii uted rha'iy" n
ne warranted to cure the most affect
case OF sy cophancy that could be de
sired
Seriously, our system OF charity is
lead wrong Any 'ystem of promiscu-
rus giving that does not require some
ouivalent in service-except in cases
# physical or mental disability-is
lust 80 much toward the eternal des-
truction OF self respect and self reli-
ance.
The Man OF Gaiilee said in effect TO
and of the multitudes that followed
him: "Ye followed me for the loaves
and fishes" Thousands OF charity
made mendicants are today on the
same quest.
Why is the hobo? Why is the mer-
dicant? The answer is simple. Self
respect is dead. And in thousands OF
cases misplaced charity has been its
slayer.
Effective charity should help the re-
cipient to help himself, and this should
be accomplished in such manner that
he may retain his self respect and in
depend dence as man.
The relief associations of our land
should give to the down-and-out not
money, food or raiment. but WORK
whereby money, food and raimen'
may be EARNED.
Every mendicant, made 80 by mis-
taken charity, is liability to Rciety
Every unfortunate placed on his feet
and again set going by furnishing hin
means by which his own efforts may
| restore him, is an asset to society
| The city or town with the proper
foresight can provide for its down and
outs work sufficient for their mainten
ance. This should be done, and alb
solutely nothing dispensed withou
some return in service except, as WI
have stated, in the case of the men
tally and physically disabled.

WANTED PR0puCERS.

We have become so accustomed to
the cry that the prevailing high prices
of living are ths result OF our increased
exports Of food stuff that it comes as
some what Of shock to learn from otfi-
cial figures that during the past year
our exports of food supplies were in re-
ality something like 800, ,Ooo,0o0 less
than the previous year And it is
stated on the same authority that
never before has the visible supply
been 40 low.
The food speculators have been yell
ing that Europe was making such a
tremendous demand for our food sup
plies that the enormous shipments in
themselves were the cause OF sky high
prices That. too, appears to be a
mixture OF financial wind and hot air.
Congress is investigation" the price
boosting combines. Did you ever hear
of politicians doing any thing more than
TO "investigate?" Did you ever hear
OF conviction? More wind political
wind.
There are two distinct causes for the
prevailing high prizes. We lack pro-
ducers, aud We are cursed with a set Of
food spectators.
Our production is not keeping pace
with the demand, because our farmers
are leaving their acres and turning
their faces to the allurements of tie
town and city. And there are none to
take their p lsces on the farms. As
Mr.. Cleveland so tersely put it, This
is condition and not a theory"
Food spectators know this, and are
buying and boarding the supply, and
doling it our in driblets at their own
prices.
Foreign demand? Bunk
Wholesale robbery? Yes!
When we get rid OF four-fifths OF the
middemen, and Jail the speculatine
price boosters, and keep the men .cr
the farms and put more Of them there
then We will have ample supplies al
reasonable prices, and not until then
And in the meantime congress vii
keep right on periodically "investigat
ing" as it always has done and alway'
will do.
We need more producers and fewel
robbers
