the American democracy win have entered on a
new era.
Who there can be who will oppose the plan of
reconstruction save officials with whose habits, ira
ditions and personal preferences il collides it is
difhenlt to see Public welfare" demands it.,
whether the term be defined in terms of nation or
OF cooperative International action; and It Is not
without significance that one detail of the plan is
for the creation of department Of public welfare
into which can be gathered for effective joint action
those bureaus that have become appendages Of
departments with other functions and names. 1t is
within this generation that governmental activity
has taken on forms which can specifically be
grouped under such title. Laws court decisions
and administrative tasks have had to include pub
lie welfare within their purview in terms quite
other than those which the founders Of the nation
and its builders understood. The trend has been
part OF great democratic movement throughout
the nation and the world which to resist has been
to court defeat To fall in with it now, In this
formal way, and to deliberately gear the already
built machinery to central, intelligent adninisra-
tive organization, is not to be radical but to be
conservative.
Should Mr. Harding, as it is intimated he will,
name woman first head of this new department.
the Senate might not confirm the. appointment.
But the very fact that he endeavorcd to, would of
itself mark epoch. So much of the welfare"
activities of modern nations center on women and
on children that were women not citizens with
full political power increasing area of the
world it might be considered good politics to make
their advent in cabinets come about in the way that
Mr.. Harding is said to favor But the detail of
the selection OF department head comes logically
well as chronologcay after that of creating the
department. There is where the center OF thought
and action will and should center for some time
to come.

And he came up. and told his

said unto his father, Get her for

But his father and his mother
knew not that IL was of the Lord
that he sought an occasion against

the Philistines had domination over
Israel.

was perfectly clear. The public has
had a tremendous strain upon its
resources in recent years. There are
s5,000,o0o Of public funds In the
treasury Of the Knights OF Column
bus. Mr.. John B. Kennedy. of the
Knights OF Columbus war activities,
writing to the New York Evening
Post attempting to meet my conten-
tion, says in part, that the money
Is their keeping was not contribut-
ed for welfare work in European
countries; the money was contribut-
ed for the service men OF the United
states"
A most casual reader Of the daily
papers Is aware that the Red Cross
is today doing relief work among
American soldiers who continue
wounded or disabled. Such being
the case the trust funds In the treas.
ury of the Knights of Columbus
should be transferred to that of the
Red Cross. for the benefit Of these
disabled soldiers, thereby rendering
Red Cross drive today unnecessary.

Mr T. Edw. Murtaugh that I am
well aware Of Red Cross activities:

RENOUNCING MILLION DOLLARS.
To the editor. The Washington Herald:
A Boston youth, Mr.. Garland, has
declined to accept the inheritance
Of s1.ooo.ooo from his fathers es-
tate, because he does not consider
himself entitled to riches which he
did not help to earn. Yesterdays
Star, in an editorial. is inclined to
call Mr.. Garland's "an empty ges-
ture Of unhealthy fanaticism." 1t
is so obvious for man to be and
act the animal of prey that when
an individual fails to show a fully
developed predatory spirit he is ad-
judged foolish fanatic.
According to this editorial, the
theory that to inherit riches we did
not earn Is as immoral as to inherit
political power is wrong. Because,
we are told, the right to will to
his children that which he accumu-
lates Is one Of the major incentives
to sustained productive effort on
man part today. From which we
must deduce that a man without
children should properly be q vaga-
bond.
or course, q man like Carnegie,
who left far more to the world than
to his heirs, would have to be
classed, according to this line of
reasoning, with the unhealthy fa-
natics Altruism is insanity, and
a philanthropist is a madman!

have the temerity of seeing a beau

warehouses and several timber yards
were burned in a program Of destruc-

been engineered by the Sim Feiners.
The police, while rushing to the
fires, were attacked by band of men.
Shots were fired but no casualties
were reported. A civilian, Daniel
Ward, caused the police to believe be

and he was shot dead.
Seventeen persons were overcome
by smoke and fumes during the morn
ing. The firebugs worked with thor
oughness. With special apparatus they
cut or burned out the locks and bolts
of the warehouses and poured gaso-
line on the stocks. Four men were
captured.
Warehouses are burning in Spar
