Doesn't Like Russian Fund.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
am anxious to know what gen.
eral opinion is as TO whether the
reports Of a dire famine In Russia
are exaggerated or not. / have been
nursing my wrath against Zeb weav-
er. our Congressman from this dis
trict now in Washington for voting
to give Russia s2O.O00,O00 for the
inha bitants Of that country when we
have so many poor people among
us and so many hundreds OF thou
sands out OF employment. 1t looks
like charity. indeed, should beSin at
home to me. for We certainly have
wretchedness and poverty right here.
II seems. though. nothing is thought
of IL by our members Of Congress.
! see that cannibalism is being prac
ticed largely in Russia. Is this sim
ply lie some body has started?
How upon earth could they sustain
an army OF 1895. 900 soldiers IL the
famine was as severe as they claim
1t is? They are preparing to fight
in the spring, and how could they
do this and practice cannibalism at
the same time?
live in the far-away South and
cannot hear much as to what is going
on in the world. but I. for one. be-
lieve all this talk about a famine
in Russia. a country that could toll
crate such rulers as Trotsky and
Lenin. is all bosh. I mentioned Zeb
Weaver's name in this article, be-
cause his people here know he voted
to give Russia the $4,000. 900 while
many of his constituents are sorely in
poverty. And the eN-service men
are woefully neglected. and this
is a crime perpetrated deliberately
by our Congressmen. II they want
to be charitable, let them take the
money out of their own pockets
and pay IL over to the needy. but
I want to say to these charitable
individuals that they have no right
to donate public funds for charity
in Russia. but this, though, is a
steal perfectly consistent with
what they have been doing all the
time. ]. FRANK RAY.

study of the effects of the various standards was

More on Teaching Truth.

To a cynic. at least, It is a quite

Love and Work.

iTHERE is a sermonettc in the address de-
i lvered by David Belasco, at recent dinner
in New York, celebrating his fortieth year as play
producer.
Said he: an all these years it stands to reason
that must have learned something and it is this
it took years to learn it, and it takes but
ment to say it, Love is the only thing that mat
tiers, the one thing that counts.
! Another thing have learned in my experience
T in New York. and it has grown to be my creed
II believe that God made to work. | believe
that He meant that should earn our living by

Z made us to love work much that we might
play at it; find real and profound pleasure in it,
land labor until, tired out we might sleep
! like little children at the end of each day.
! People say to me, the doctors and my friends
IYou work too hard l say, 'No-I play little
ihard. perhaps-my work is my play And it is
such good sport that l love it more and more
1The who does not love his work-who finds
pleasure in it-who toll at it till he drops
is a Slave.
"The of times is the vast army of
people who nothing for their work-who labor
solely for money. No can do this and succeed.
& "We must carry affection into work to bring
inspiration, because All that happens, happens
again, as Peter Grimm said.
King Solomon said it before him: There is
nothing new under the SUM-
THE appeal to love is not only necessary to the
drama-t is the keynote of all arts, OF all science
OF all business 1t is the foundation, the mortar,
the bricks, the beams and the thing itself.
Some asked Queen Victoria to write her
favorite text in the Bible; she wrote: Love never
iailcth. Love suffereth long and is kind
To which l add: Many waters cannot quench love,
neither the floods drown it. If a man would
give all the substance of his house for love it wohld
be utterly condemned.
