It penetrates through every air pas

How good it feels. Your nostrils

Now my friends, the above young
father doesn't want charity In fact
the necessary money is loaned to him.
What he and three dozen more in
Moscow want is WORK. These men
must have work. Are you going to
sit blindly by in your home of plenty,
eat three square meals a day and an
other one at night, after enjoying a
show and see these men resort to vio-
lence or charity to supply their
needs?
There has been brought to my at
tention several methods of remedy.
First, we can resort to charity, but
charity is only due when necessity
demands. These men don't want
charity. Second we can ignore the
situation as we are at present doing
and let matters take Their own course.
We don't want to do this either.
Third we can furnish employment for
these men.
There are numerous streets in Mos
cow which are to be paved this COM
ing summer. There is grading to be
done on each of these streets. There
are improvements to be made at the
fair grounds before next fair time. |
At least part time employment might |
oe given to these men.
Seattle and Portland have started |
wood yards for their unemployed. |
surely there is something which Mos
COW can do. In four months, indus
,ry will be in full swing again; but
We are confronting a reality of the
present which must be met. Let's
meet it somehow.
