THE INCOMPETENTS

The manager of an employment bur-
eau remarked the other day that
while there is said to be still consid-
cradle unemployment, in the line in
which he specialized the competent
people were mostly at work. There
are many incompetent ones out of a
job. But business houses have been
wedding such people out of their Of
fices, and good many of them are
still idle.
There may be good many lines
where good workers can't get any
thing to do. But it can be set down
as probable that a very large part
of the people now out of work are
those who have failed to give satisfac-
ton, so that to some extent such ones
are responsible for their own condi-
tion and troubles.
In recent report of the activities
OF the Salvation army, some one re-
marked that there must be tremen-
dous amount of suffering, owing to
the number of men who were loafing
around on the park benches in one of
the big cities. The Salvation army
man said that one-third of these idle
men in that city are worthy. One
third, he said, are amateur panhand-
lers, who have been led to become such
by the newspaper discussion of unem-
ployment, which has led many people
to give literally and not always wise
ly. And the other one-third are pro-
fessional panhandlers who should be
locked up.
While there are many cases of idle
men who have done the best they
could and simply had hard luck, lot
of them have caused their own troub-
les by their failure to make good.
They have done as little as they
could, have sought merely to "get
by" They have never tried to i'm
prove their work. or made an effort
to accomplish things. When there is
a slow time in business, such ones are
laid off. The majority of them are
getting jobs now as conditions i'm
prove. If they would take hold with
a will and try to make good they
would increase the production of the
country enough so that the business
world could probably afford to keep
them employed right along.
