Charity By The Million

THE Charity Organization society of
New York has not been slow T..
make capital out of the recent expos
IRE of the beggar on wheels whose
chauffeur's financial troubles led TO
his exposure as man who maintained
an expensive suite in enc of the New
York hotels, and who, when the days
work of begging was done. strapped
on pair of aluminium legs, donned
his evening clothes, and made merry
in the bright lights of Broadway.
1t appears, for years the man raked
in an average of 500 day, dropped
into his tin can by sympathetic pedes-
TRANS who saw him selling pencils.
Now we are told that beggars in the
big city take more than $36,0O0,000 a
year from careless Gothamites and
transient visitors, all of which is high
ly undesirable. However it i'll behooves

Imposters on Patriotism.

TOO many men, masquerading as
former service men, are today using
their talent to graft off the American
public. 1t is pretty hard, when a
crippled or blind young man makes
an appeal for aid and adds that his
disability resulted from service for
his country to refuse him.
Playing on sympathetic public has
left bad taste in the mouths of many
Americans. The American Legion is
bending its every effort to stamp out
this peculiarly disagreeable type of
petty graft. But, despite the best eff
forts of this great organization, the
practice continues.
Here in Caldwell this week, young
man walked the streets for a couple
of days. He wore smoked glasses ap-
parently blind, carried big pack on
his shoulders bearing the legend that
he was enroute to the veterans hos
pital in Arizona, working his way
there afoot.
That man was not blind And
while it has not been definitely es-
tablished, nevertheless American Leg
ion officials, wiring his references, are
convinced that he is but another i'm
poster
Time was, shortly after demobiliza-
ton, when Americans could and did
help materially in solving the prob.
lens of the returned vetertn. Blu
with better organization of federal
relief, there is no longer any excuse
for any World War veteran cumming
his way over the country.
One does not need to deal harshl,
with men who make appeals for aid

tecting your rights unless you prompt

is equipped to investigate and, if tn
case proves one of merit, aid is al

cidentally, the infallible test to dis
cover whether or not a man is wha
he claims, is to suggest the Red Cros:
the American Legion, or if he is dis
abled, that the veterans hospital a
Boise can take care of him.

Change Slowly.

A chorus of indignant and emphatic
negation greets the labor proposal
to amend the Con stitution of the Unit
ed States so that "The United States
Supreme Court will have the power to
review an act of congress and 10 de-
clare such act unconstitutional. But
in the event congress for second time
enacts the legislation in question IT
will be beyond the power of the court
and will stand as the final and unas-
sailable law of the land
An army of organizations and edi-
torial writers vehemently protest
against any such drastic revision of the
fundamentals of the government of the
United States as would put in the
hands of congress alone, without any
concurrence by the forty-eight states.
the power to change the constitution,
With all due respect to the consti-
gress, it is nevertheless true that it
does make mistakes, and that probably
in the future, as at times in the past,
it will be swayed by passion, prejudice.
self-interest and partisan politics. Con
gress is made up or human beings, and
can not, of course, as body be more
perfect or more wise than the average
of its membership The United States
has grown in one hundred and forty
six years from a baby nation to the
mightiest on earth. Our people are
more free, have more prosperity, less
war, greater opportunities, more JUS
tice, less government ills than any
other people. This growth and these
results have come under the benifi-
cient and wise laws which spring from
constitution unalterable save by a
long, difficult and thought-taking pro-
gram of state acquiescence. To substi-
tute for this proved successful plan a
new scheme by which we will have no
fundamental law not changeable at
will BY congress is a proposal which
will not only never be accepted by the
American people, but which will in
jure not help the cause of those who
propose it.

The War and Taxes.

TAXES did increase during the
Alexander administration. But Mr..
Alexander now says that was due to
the war, the enormous and unexpected
demands for funds that all war activi-
ties necessitated.
But Mr.. Alexander surely does not
hope Idaho voters will believe such
an argument. He knows as does ev-
eryone else that if the second Alex
ander administration used state funds
for war purposes it was done without
legislative authority. The reason is
not far to find.
The legislature, converting in Janu-
airy and still unaware that the Wilson
administration knew war was newt
able, passed into history before war
was declared and before there was any
demand for war funds in Idaho. Leg
islature, not governors, appropriate
Idaho taxpayers money. And when
war was declared, Mr.. Alexander found
that no provision had been made for
state war finances.
OF course, the state needed money.
1t was put to legitimate use. Later,
when Republican legislature conven-
ed, the war activities of the second
Alexander administration were cover
ed with appropriations to meet the
incurred. Which was per-
fectly all right and proper.
But, under the circumstances, it
does take a vivid Imagination to un-
derstand how the World War could
have cost the Alexander administra-

the Charity organization of the city
to break into the picture.
The object of the society of course
is to put an end to the indiscriminate
giving of charity and to make itself
the sole means of charitable distribu-
ton
The expense Of distributing dol
lar through the Charity organization,
however, has several times been shown
to be preposterously high and its no
torious wood yard and laundry still
remain a stencil in the nostrils OF
many persons whose memories are
acute.
Its secret black list, distributed
"confidentiafly" among those who sup
port the organization also has left none
too good a taste in the mouths of the
people.
1t is now being pointed out that the
police should put an end to the big
gest pest.
1t is known there are at least 5000
|beggars in New York, not one OF
whom takes in less than SIS day.
If the police do not make cleanup
it might not be bad idea for the
courts to sentence the loafers to work
on the county farm so that they may
llearn just where an honest living
comes from.

Enemies of America.

Success always produces enemies.
We are not discussing the external
enemies of America, because her dan
ger is not from without; it is from
within. Her menace is being generated
in her own bosom.
Let us discuss some of them.
First-The bad citizenship of good
citizens.
The banker, lawyer, doctor. mer-
chant, minister, teacher or other pro-
fessional and business men who spend
their entire time looking after their
own interests to the neglect of the
public's interest, welfare and success
are bad citizens, undesirable citizens.
When men become so selfish, self
conferred, and interested in their own
affairs that they will not give some
of their time, energy, interest and
talents for the general public's good,
they are an enemy to the country.
Selfishness creates the bad citizen
ship of good citizens.
SECOND - Disregard for law.
There is growing disregard for law
Men are trying to circumvent law;
they are devising every scheme pos
sible to escape the operations of law;
they are spending every energy they
possess to defeat the judgments of law
This tendency is putting our govern

Your Redeemer.

EVERY day, it becomes increas-
ingly apparent that Alexander started
his campaign too early. William Nor
gan, former justice of the supreme
court and one of Idaho's foremost
Democrats, is reputed to have recently
remarked:
If Alexander is not careful the
truth will overtake him before
election.
If Mr.. Morgan did not say this,
nevertheless the sentiment has proven
a correct prophecy Alexander has
made so many careless and i'll found
ed statements that every day the cam
paign continues will but emphasize the
absurdity of his assertions.
Mr.. Alexander, like c. c. Moore, is
not an orator. But. nevertheless, he is
capable of capitalizing long politica
experience. While some of his subter.
fuges are, when analysed and careful
ly weighted, the antics of menta
gymnast, he scores with his audiences
At Fruitland last week after conclud
ing a TRADE against Republican ex
travagances and holding himself up a.
the sole hope of the Idaho voter, Mr.
Alexander concluded his address will
this sacreligious remark:
Ladies and gentlemen, thank
your God that your redeemer
still liveth
No other living mortal possesses tn
affrontery to drag such stuff into
political campaign.

ment in jeopardy.
THIRD-Ignorance. Ignorance is
deadly enemy to society. The
amount of ignorance in this country
is alarming. We discovered it when
we drafted the boys for the late war.
A large percentage could not pass the
examinations.
The time has come for US to demand
that the common school education of
this land shall become universal and
compulsory. Every child should be
forced to graduate from the public
schools The Smith owner bill now
before Congress ought to be passed,
and the federal government ought to
be made to aid the public school sys-
tenn of this country
The little red school house should
dot every hill and fill every valley in
America; and every child in America
regardless of race, color or condition
should be forced to remain in the pub
lie schools until graduated from the
ninth grade.
