when IS CHARITY" CHARITABLE

In reply to criticisms of his
department a certain officer
whose duty it is to administer
aid to the poor, replied:
despite the fact that we are
ard-boiled' in the minds of
some people, we feel that we
have done and will continue to
do all we can for the needy with
out becoming sentimentally
soft in the proper distribution
of charity.
1--WE cannot go about the mat
ter as the general public does
with the crippled beggar on the
street corner drop in nickel
and pass on, leaving him sitting
in the same condition as before
and feel that their duty is done
II recall an incident in lodge
where a bit of reconstruction
was necessary. One member
woke up and threw a dollar on
the floor, with the remark
Here's my dollar when his dol
lar was not what was needed at
all. Sentimental sop is not
what is needed in this world
OF course there are two sides
to this question, but the aic
commissioner above quoted has
given a very pertinent side MOI

timentaP' public. Is it the THING
to do or not to do-drop pennies
in the beggar's hat? If it does
help the particular Individual
is it not in the aggregate sim.

without adding any reconstru.
ction to this class of society?
Some go even so far as tc
assert that the law of surviva
OF the fittest should be allowed
to apply to human beings in re
spect to charity and the sub.
normal, Notwithstanding sen
tlment. That the public is ready
to accept this doctrine and lie

financially unfortunate scratch
for themselves or die out, We
are not prepared to say. But
there is no doubt that the dis

lgation than let flourish by
mere sentimentality. A hard

skill of the fighters, prize"
fights might be worth the price
of admission. If they merely
are to satisfy the morbid cur
iosity of the spectators, their
social and moral values may be
questioned in any considerable
degree.
Morbidity, or the satisfying
Iof it, may not be really danger
Gus in itself. There is a certain
amount of craving for excite
ment within every human
breast. The bull fight, for ex-
ample, is morbidity personified.
The man fight differs only in
the sense that the man is not
supposed to be killed in the en-
gagement as is the bull or horse
or matador. We have therefore
progressed so far as to reduce
the actual killing intent to the
| fighting chance.
The greatest danger to all
spectacular engagements is
that the masses of the people
sit with flabby muscles and
watch somebody else exercise.
Even if not immoral, there is a
physical detriment. When great
numbers of people learn to box
moderately for purposes of self
Improvement, health, recreat-
ion and for emergency defense,
boxing will become more dig
nlfied and raised from the
mere battle of fists to a manly
art and beneficial skill. But SO
tong as it remains merely a
commercial spectacle, partici-
pated in by the few who can
nit the hardest, there isn't
much hope for boxing as an in
stltution to receive general ap-
proal.

AN ENTERPRISING
COMMUNIl Y

The finest compliment a stra
lger can pay to a community
is to say that it is an enterpris-
inc community. In the word
ENTERPRISE may be included
the meaning of moral, material
and spiritual development. To
be enterprising is to be alert
and wide awake to our possib-
ilities to be energetic and pro-
gressive in practical affairs and
devoted to high ideals.
From its beginning Clintwood
has advanced rapidly, but still
more cooperation is needed.
Clintwood has evidenced the
cooperative spirit in the past in
proof of it's present advance
ment. With a little more pulling.
and boosting together Clint
wood can keep going forward.

Scandinavians Manage
Labor Summer School

Geneva Park, Ill. - (FP)-Among
the scattered groups of American
workers in whom the desire for en-
ightenment on broad labor lines is
leading to organized educational eff
fort, the young Swedish-Americans of
the Chicago district are making re-
markable progress. Their summer
school on the Fox river near Geneva.
which opened Aug. 1, is proceeding
with the customary Scandinavian ear
nestness and intelligence.
100 Youths Participate
About 100 youths of both sexes.
with sprinkling of elders, are camp
ing In tents in an attractive 5O-acre
wooded park belonging to a sympa-
thetic organization. Excellent hearty
meals are served under the trees in
fair weather and in capacious build
ings at other times. There are lee
lures and discussion hours as well as
lighter programs morning, afternoon
and evening. The river invites bath
ers and there is a dance floor under
roof. The total cost to each partici-
pant in the schools work is $40 a
week-meals, shelter, instruction en-.
tertalnment and all.
School VIII Last Into Winter Months
a few of the students are radicals
but all are workers. Their education
will continue through the winter in
further courses and the same oppor-
tunity will be offered to their coun-
trymen in other American cities be-
sides Chicago. The activity is man.

SEASON Is CLOSED
ON UPLAND BIRDS
MSTATE FOR YEAR

Montana's state fish and game COM
mission last week declared the season
closed for the year on all upland game
birds, when the following motion was
passed unanimously at the quarterly
meeting at the state capitol: "Be-
cause of general unfavorable reports
on the early hatch, the state fish
ana game commission hereby declares
a closed season in the entire state
on all upland game birds to prevent
undue depletion and destruction which
would require years to correct"
Hence ducks and geese will be the
only game birds available to Montana
hunters this year.
Action was taken by the commits
sion after a thorough investigation
conducted by Chairman Thomas N.
Marlowe Of Missoula, Game Warden
Robert H. Hill and every member of
the state board
Hundreds of letters have been pour
ing into state headquarters from
sportsmen and country clubs urging
that the season be closed because of
the bird shortage.
In the canvass conducted by Mr..
Marlowe among rod and gun clubs in
the 56 counties of the state he receiv-
ed 40 replies, with clubs favoring the
closed season and bird conservation.
Out of the 40 replies SO were for
a closed season, eight opposed, and
five qualified the reply by asking for
a closed season on some species and
an open season on others. All state
deputy game wardens have urged the
closed season. No reply was receiv-
ed from the Butte club but the Ana
conda club petitioned for a closed sea-
son.
Reports received by the commission
from ranchers and farm machinery
men are to the effect that the hatch
In the wet spring has been almost z
total failure. Other reports place the
hatch at 20 or 25 per cent of normal
Federal game officials have made
similar reports.
Complain of Pheasants
Because of continued ridiculous
complaints reaching the commission
regarding alleged depredations O.
Chinese pheasants and Hungarian
cartridges and alleged raids on gar
dens and fields, the commission in
structed Game Warden Hill make
personal inspection of fields allege,
to have been damaged and report hi
findings to the board at the mex
meeting. Complaint was made b,
farmers near Choteau and an an ar
ticle was published in a Choteau pa
per declaring that "the Hungarian
are so numerous that they beat dow
. the wheat when they alight in
field and thresh out the kernels wit
their wings when flying low" TIL
newspaper article suggested the us
of poison if no open season is de
: clared "for residents of the count
. only" Members of the commissio
. agreed that if the investigated

> the birds be trapped and transferre
to other counties.
