Wise Suggestions on
Cripples And Beggars
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
The public has too often confused
the idea of cripple with that OF a
beggar. The resulting reaction has
done a great injury to the cause OF
the self-respecting disabled man in
regarding him as subject for char
ity but not for trade training and
employment.
To be sure there is historical pre-
cedent for this attitude for in past
decades and centuries various peoples
have condemned the cripple to the
status Of roadside beggar or at best
employed him as jester or court fool.
And in our experience there is justi-
fication in the view because we have
seen many cripples at street corners,
making public exhibition of their de-
formity or amputation and soliciting
aims Of the passer-by. The number
of these beggars is small in compare
son to the great body of physically
handicapped men who are usefully
employed, but the few have vigorous
ly advertised, have made considera-
BILE impression on the susceptibilities
of the community, and have reaped a
profitable harvest. A bank teller
reported recently the case Of Grip
pied street beggar who deposited in a
savings account, after paying his liv-
ing expenses, forty dollars weekly
That the beggar cripple has been
permitted to ply his trade is a great
injustice to the disabled men of char
acter and independence. The prac-
tice should have been stopped in the
past; it is absolutely necessary that
1t be prohibited in the future. For
with the expectation of our soldiers
who will return disabled from the
front, the public should have no ex-
erse for associating their prospective
career with that of the mendicans.
On the contrary every influence
should be brought to bear upon the
public to show tnat physical disability
is an obstacle, but easily superable
with character and ambition, and
that the cripple may be made into
useful ard productive citizen.
In several cities there have been
inaugurated campaigns to drive. the
crippled beggar from the streets, and

PARISIANS GIVE
TO SEE
HUN AIR RAIDS
Inhabitants Refuse to Be
Terrorized by Bomb
ing Squads.

Paris.-Air-raid parties are all the
fashion in Paris society now.
The American here who is acquaint-
ed among the French people is likely,
any clear evening, to be called on the
telephone and to receive this invita-
tion:
IF you're not engaged this evening,
drop around to the house and watch
the AFRAID from our windows. II
looks like a good night for a raid"
You go around and put in the even
ing until midnight discussing air-raids
with your host. Other subjects are
taboed. You see, from time to time,
French patrol machines, carrying cleo
tric signal lights, lowering over yEe
city, ready At a seconds warning To
dash on and battle Hun machines.
The resumption Of Hun air-raids
on Paris after many months of quiet
hasn't in the least terrorized the in
habitants. Rather the raids have in
creased the French fury against Hun
warfare.
There has grown up everywhere In
France a demand for swift retalia-
ton on German cities.
An occasional raid on Paris or Lon
don will never become a determining
factor in this war. Such raids are
more of an annoyance than anything
else-hard, of course, on the luckless
ones who die or are injured; but as
far as the people are concerned, every
fellow takes a gamblers chance and
Figures that 1t will be somebody else
who will get hit.
"Pshawr' said Parisian while
watching a raid from his balcony.
The danger Is slight. A man runs
almost as much risk from street cars.
automobiles and railroad trains every
day."
4 large percentage Of those killed
or injured in air raids are what would
be called in America "rubbernecks"-
people whose curiosity causes them
to expose themselves to see the show.
Bombing machines are getting big
ger and heayier all the time. The
Germans now have q number OF ma
chimes that carry four men, two OF
them operate machine guns, and a
third looks after the dropping of
bombs The fourth is the pilot.
The day Is not far distant when
allied machines will far surpass any
thing the Germans have in both car
rying and distance.
Aviation experts predict that Berlin
will soon be feeling the effects oil
allied bombing, although to get to
Berlin and back will require a ma
chine that can fly q thousand miles
without alighting.
Gee" said an American aviation
officer, I'D give 5000 for the chance
to drop the first American bomb on
Berlin"

The total Republican primary vote

O0O-this year 1t was upwards OF 9sb,

UP that way are sufficiently inter-

In that Minnesota primary Mr.
