But these same men often arc unable to sec them at all as race of beings given cer- tain rights he himself possesses.

AGAIN THEY GIVE.

The twenty-two cent dinnor to one thousand men and women in New York city last night netted over two million dollars. for tho starving chill dren of Eastern and Central Europe.
 One million dollars was expected to be raised, for each of the guests was to pay s1,OoO for his plate
 Those guests more than doubled the amount expected of them. And this display of generosity followed in the immediate wake of q similar thou sh lesser expression of generosity recent ly at a meeting at the Metropolitan opera House in New York.
 Those who gave could afford to give. But they gave: that is the point And again Herbert Hoover, with the aid of General Pershing. was the man to bring the great results.
 One stands appalled, before the spirit that has come to the rescue of those suffering children. Here is an example of the stifed love of children that a decreasing birth rate in thls country seems to contradict. z
 The poor man may rail against such generosity: he may ask why the don- OTIS do not see to 1t that the working .. man In this country is paid proper svsgxesA-thatthe struggle fovsxistesce of the poor here at home is~not made less awful, And, there will be reason in the question. ''...' E '.F 't f."i
 But that same poor man who may rail would be the first to divide or give all of his last crust to one of those starving children on the soil of the devastated lands. were he to have the opportunity. That same champion of the poor here would be the first to share with our own poor the help he had for them.
 There is nothing in the world like the appeal of the child. Innocent as the children of Europe are of the work for them that Is being carried in in this country the look in their eyes as they hear whence came their food would be ample recompense for any generosity-werc recompense other than 8 donors own knowledge at all necessary.
 It is on< of the real! misfortunes of the moderately rich-afid of the man who has all he can do to get along not to bc able to attend any Of the affairs such as. the one hene- noted Many would be the pipefuls of to- bacco that would be foregone; many would be the little near-Iuxuries of women that would be given up. if they had the chance to see and understand that has been given the wealthy from whom much was. expected. and who did not disappoint.
