DUT Imagination for success is not vir.
ID tue common among us or greatly laudcd.
We prefer to doom our great enterprises to
failure in imagination before we have even
begun to build them into successes.
Fortunately for us, the Tories Of the
town who doomed the declaration of Inde-
pendence when II was read in the square
now most of them occupy patriots graves
in the Imagination at least Of the DANES
and the Daughters, who forget, If indeed
they ever realized, that most Of their fore
fathers We're true to their type and liked

Our tendency TO ''loryism"-i. e., stand.
ing pats an inherited trait that is as much
n part of US rs our Liberty Bell or tbc

always get licked in the end, ana Liberty
Bells, however cracked, come out ahead,
Perhaps If we cold shoudered our Torv
tendency to ''knOck" and called our caution

end by recognizing good thing the first m

side of which these qualities are the exag.

philanthropy. and so we have any number ot

families or. Coterics of sOcin or religious
sets. We are faithful to past obligations
and almost leave our spnts on charitable
boards in our wills. We very prudent
about s"rappng anything that has mcp
served its purpose to our satisfaction. and
we are very admring Of what has been and
like to patronizc what is.
So that if tho Federation has outlived the
first year it will find us putting il on our

year it will be one of the family. Ten years

TT IS a mystery yet why the lists were so
bad and why any one could think that

one end Of the town to another during
days working up Of subscriptions was a
feasible one: or why hundreds Of addres

But / do not honestly think that even II
all the lists had been correct and the time
of the solicitors had been carefully saved
and tho notices sent ont TO the possible sub.
scrbers had given them the data that would
best move thcm--I honestly do not believe
the first drive would have gone over the top

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT

THE Welfare Federation weathered II

THE Welfare Federation weathered its
l. first strenuous year. After what looked
like n near failure in reaching even an APP
proximate goal. md q very exasperating
failure 10 conplate its lists for a practical
campaign last autumn. and after n smoth.
cred cry for help to rally the workers for n
sort of finish up campaign later In the
winter. it suddenly ceased from troubling,
righted itself BY some internal balancing OF
encouragement, kept its pledges to the or.
ganzations and to the public, and, IN fact.
scrambled over the top" after all and
avoided an anticlimax.
How it snntched victory from defeat one
does not know. but | suspect that the men
who were responsible for the victory nre
not the ones whose impractical complacency
during the preliminary preparations nearly
dished it. Those who succeeded will never
tell who were the unsuccessful ones; that
is certain. So the -eneral public and even
those Of us who worked inder such handi.
caps of msmanagement last year need not
probe. We can only be grateful TO Judge
Martin and Mr.. Scwall and Mr.. Elkins and
Mr.. Etfngham Norris and Mr.. Warden and
the others us well as to our friend Ludlow
of the persuasive smile. who would not stop
working for success in the face Of apparent
failure.

Tn SHORT, the Welfare Federation, whic.

IN SHORT, the Welfare Federation. which
was the best idea for tacklng our present
philanthropic problem, has got the usual
grudging reception we give our best sue
ccsseS. and it Will now go on it's way upheld
by us as one Of our best traditions. But
the stupid thing about us S that we worried
and bit it so before we swallowed it down
that TO those who hnd to administer it to us
i, had the aspect Of q terrible medicine in
stead of good dessert.
And by those who administered it 7 do
not mean simply the men who acted as It's
trustees. | mean all of us who went and
asked Philadelphia to give in bulk what it
had been accustomed To give in pieces Or,
rather. we asked many Philadelphians to
give what they had been accustomed to see
II few PhiladclphianS give. 1t was q per-
fcctIy simple and reasonable idea:
"I.et 10000 give what 5000 gave"

HTHERE IS no doubt about it: the relief
i of not being dunned IN every mail by
some philanthropy or other to tide it over
was n joy to the givcrs, once the drive was
over. Hut that relief was nothing to the
relief felt by the philanthropies, who knew
for the first time what their incomes for the
year were to be.
This year there will hc more philan-
thropirs included iE the Fedcraton which
will mean saving Of work for all con-
cerned and no greater expenditure of money
in the end. This year we have the word
for it from the sadder but wiser committee
that the lists are corrected and the plan of
distributing the cards improved and the
campaign drive arrangements simp!hed bv
better preliminary work. Those Of us who
thought we ought to help last year have no
less reason for helping this, unless we are
down and out physically. Those who gave
last year have every reason to be glad, and
those who refused every reason TO be sorry
1t is n hard piece Of work and it will take
very systematic giving, but It IS difficult TO
see how most of us can get out Of it with
any honor. II we can call some enthusiasm
to our aid--suCh as some cheerful soulu

peasurcs---we may even get sort of fri.

unworthy person because she came
to Atlanta. How fair is that to
her? Was there any other alter
