CLEAN UP DAY SUCCESS.
Yesterday the City Was Put in a
Spic and Span Condition

The ward committees of the Civic
club, ably assisted by the school
children, surely put one over on the
weather man yesterday when they
pulled off the long delayed clean up
day. The plans were sufficiently COM
plete so that few hurried telephone
calls notified all who were to CO.
operate in the work of the day and
brought to the ward gathering plac-
es the cleaning squads and soliciting
trains with which the various cap
tains and ward chairmen to whom
they were to- report.
The call for clean up week sent
out by Mayor Bucknell and the Club
met with such hearty response from
the majority of households, the town,
as a whole, presented a very good
appearance when the day for the
finish arrived. However, something
like a hundred loads of cans, ashes,
ETC., were removed to the dumping
ground. Some property owners who
had not been able to secure a dray
were glad to pay the cleaning squads
for hauling away their refuse. The
money thus secured added to the
funds gathered for the day, as the
service of teams was donated. The
chief inconvenience was a. shortage
Of trains, as the unsettled weather
forecast of Monday made definite
plans impossible.
1t was a tired and hungry bunch
of young citizens who gathered for
lunch at the Congregational social
center at four o'clock. Buns and hot
weiners, cookies and pop vanished
like magic. The soliciting teams
turned in nearly three hundred
memberships of which one hundred
and ninety-five were contributing
members, the list of active members
making of the rest. An honor roll of
outside eontributors-men. women
and children-gave amounts ranging
from ten cents to five dollars.
/ The financial report of the day is
not available at this writing, but it
is intended to publish at an early
date a report of all money received
and expended since the organization
of the club. Watch for it,
Publicity Committee.

~ NE of the characteristics of the moral
4 life of the world during the last fifty
~ years has been the deepening of hui
man sympathies. Some have supposed that
the readiness with which the present genera
ton responds to. human suffering is the de-
sire to get painful things out of it's sight; but
this is a synical view Men really care for
human need more than ever, notwithstand-
ing all the manifest selffshness that still re-
mains in the earth.
And the distressing necessities which have
arisen during the war have seemed to open
new springs of sympathetic service. No
armies ever received more forms of brother
ly relief than have our soldiers in the camps,
in the homeland and on the fields of France.
At the same time our people have not failed
to respond to the cries of grief and want
raised by the people of Belgium, France,
Serbia and Armenia. To sustain our men in
the service and to soothe the multiplied
thousands of afflicted people in Europe hun
dreds of millions of dollars have been given
in the most enthusiastic and ungrudging man
ner. No figure has been above the benevo-
lence of the American people, Unprecendent-
ed liberality has prevailed throughout the en-
tire country, and new era of unselfshness
has seemed to dawn.
Along with this splendid unselfshness have
sprung up all sorts Oh movements promoted
by selfish men to exploit the generosity of
the people. "PromOters,' who met success
in campaigns for worthy objects during the
war, seem unwilling to cease living by
"drives," etc. Hence they have set going a
great variety of organizations which profess
to aim at the cure of all "the ills that flesh
is heir to- and which are responsible to no
authority of church or state. These organiZa-
lions and movements cunningly devised
to appeal to human sympathy, and their ap-
peals are for sums that run up into the mil
lions.
Against all these schemes the Saturday
sounded a n
it's editorial columns recently. The editor
under the caption, "a Plague of Panaceas,"
used the following vigorous language:
"a new craze is sweeping over the
country-as silly, pestilential, as the
dancing madness that seized the world
just before the war. Everybody wants
to reform everybody else and to settle
everything that is wrong with anything.
Everything from pap to dynamite, is be-
ing recommended for what ails the world
and the other fellow. Every method of
relieving him of his pocketbook-for
that is always the seat of the other fell
lows diseases being advocated. This
is the greatest era of pap, pifae and poi
son that the world has ever seeen.''
The editorial of the Post is a bit wanting
in elegance of expression, perhaps; but it is
entirely just. Indeed, the editor of the Post
might have gone further without transgress-
ing the limits of truth.
A generous public should be warned against
all these spurious schemes of pseudo-philan-

Il Habbb Settlement.

1t is a matter of hearty congratulation to
all concerned that the strike of the railway
clerks has been brought to an end, or at
least to a point where the questions at issue
can be amicably settled. The business and
public interests involved were so Weighty and
SO far-reaching that q prolongation of the
strike would have been little short of disas-
ter. The movement of thousands of cars of
freight, the transaction of millions of dollars
of trade, the welfare of unnumbered people
and the supren,ely important interests of the
Government of the United States itself were
all involved; and, had the strike continued,
would all have been imperilled. Rejoicing
over the settlement is, therefore, widespread
and profound.
1t is commonly assumed that as employees
of the Federal Railroad Administration and,
so, of the United States Government, the men
are assured full justice. This is fairly to be
inferred from the Governments repeatedly
proved goodwill and considerateness toward
labor.
Mr.. B. L. WinchelI regional director of the
Federal Railroad Administration for the
Southeast, with headquarters at Atlanta, has
handled the situation with admirable patience
and tact. Likewise of officers of the Broth
erhood of Clerks have shown highly praise
worthy spirit. Both they and Mr.. Winchell
have earned the public's gratitude for their
services in bringing the dispute to a happy

BISHOP GAMBLERS MESSAGE

thropy. They are not worthy of financial or
moral support
One of the unfailing characteristics OF
these peddler of panaceas is that they decry
the churche4 and talk of how the churches
have failed to meet the worlds need. The
motive for such false talk is manifest. 1t is
obvious that the takers know the springs OF
beneVOlence take their rise in religion, and
if they can impress any considerable number
of good people with the notion that churches
have failed they can divert the gifts of such
people to the promoting of their 'panaceas. y
This is skillful trici- of the promoters
whereby they hope to exploit the beneyo-
lence of Christian people by tapping the sup
plies of the Christian churches. Let good
people be warned against them.
Good men of all classes wish the world to
be rid of war and rumOrs of wars. Hence
they. pray daily for the peace council sitting
in Paris. But we need deliverance also from
the promoters" who have come into being
by the war and seem to desire to go on for
ever. The war will not be over until we are
free from the "drives' and drivers. They
are the parasites of philanthrOphy and seek to
live on the blood of the benevolent in Ameri-
| ca as the coolies have fed on the blood OF
heroes in trenches.
At the embarkatiOn camps in France they
have what are called "delousing' instrument
talities and the American people sorely need
some similar process fer Kidding themselves
of the promoters who seek to fatten on the
generous.
A very simple process may be adopted, and
should be adopted: Refuse to respond to the
rosy appeals of the promoters" and tell
them to go home and go to work.
Our government will ask soon for the Fifth
Loan-"the Victory Loan" That should be
cver-subscribed with a will; for we know
where it goes, and can hold the men who ex-
pend it to strict account for it's right appli-
cation.
Several of the great denominations have
on campaig. to meet the religious needs OF
the era of reconstruction now upon the world.
Those campaigns deserve confidence and gen.
erous supp TT; for they also are in respon-
sible hands and aim a. worthy objects.
But all the outside schemes OF irresponsible
movers and movements" may we'll be neg
Iected.
The only enduring il stitution for uniting
humanity and redeeming the world is the
church 1t is wiser than all the "sociolo-
gists," and has healed more running sores of
human i'll than all the pretentious "uplifters"
who parade their programs with delusive
'spubIicity.'' When ali the plague of pana-
ceas' has passed, AS it will pass, the Chris
tian churches will still be doing their life
saving work with patience Of faith and the
gentlenec3 of love.
Let men and women who wish to do good
stand by their churches and turn deaf ears to
the appeals of all the picturesque pro
moters" WI are busying themselves with
spreading tie plague of panaceas," Christ
endom has suffered much from influenza
but the plague of panaceas" is far more dan
gerous.
