He Is Not Content

DUT the beggar makes a protest.
ID He is. after all, the forerunner
of the revolutionary. The man who
begs may come in time to demand.
There is something Of useful fiber
left in the individual who has the
courage to ask for bed and board
from the passerby. To be sure, the
beggar is always a nuisance and
sometimes a fake. But he does not
belong in the lowest stratum of So
ciety.
This came to my attention a
couple of years ago when I was
watching a breadline. The closely
huddled men we're silent, lacking in
all initiative They could not even
seem to move forward toward the
door where meal tickets were being
distributed unless commanded to go
ahead by supervising policeman.
These were men singularly like
sheep in both their physical aspects
and their mental reactions. And as
I watched I asked one derelict a
very silly question. said:
81 can't understand why all these
thousands stand here for as long as
five hours to get a 20-cent meal
ticket should think it would be
easier to beg as much as that in less
time"
He looked at me in surprise and
said: why, it takes nerve to beg"

Views Of Times Readers

Editor Times-Halloween is here
again and along with it comes the
annual round of fun and pranks. A
mixture Of tin cans, corn, rice and
what have you on every ones porch.
Chairs that belong to you might be
found on some one else's porch roof.
Windows are Soaped until they look
like frosted glass.
TicktackS and bean shooters keep
one hopping up and running to the
door in the hope one will catch the
offender before he can hide, but it's
the same old story. You get a glimpse
of few running shadows, and it's
all to do over again in few mo-
mentS.
Some folks say that Halloween is
getting tame. They're not like they
used to be, when you put some fell
lows wagon or COW on top of his
barn, etc. All they do now is go
down town and parade around and
look at one another.
Well, it may look tame and it may
be tame on Washington or Illinois
street, but I have another version
to give. Have you ever been on the
Monument Circle or steps on Hal
loween? If not, I'll advise any SEN
sible person to keep a safe distance.
There is certain element there
that does not conflne its activities
to clean fun and pranks. 1t is dirty,
mean, lowdown picking of fights and
abuse. Wearing apparel is torn be-
yond repair, hats disappear, you lit

Better Be Fooled a Little

SELF And that is to give something
to every man who asks. will be
told that this is very bad rule. It
will be pointed out that some pan
handlers will not use the nickel, the
dime, or even the quarter for food
or shelter. They may squander the
coins foolishly upon cheap and poi
sonous alcoholic connections.
That does not seem to me to mat
ter. I hold it rather impertinent to
ask a recipient just what disposition
he is prepared to make of his funds.
I don't think anybody should set
himself up as grand inquiSitor into
mans personal affairs for the
meager price of 10 cents.
Years ago Richard Harding Davis
wrote one of his Van Bibber stories
in celebration of popular attitude.
Van Bihber, upon being accosted by
a beggar feigning hunger, took the
poor wretch to a restaurant and
forced upon him meal which he
did not want. And all the readers
were supposed to feel that the we'll
to-do young clubman had behaved
very properly and shown up the
hypocrisy Of the mendicant.

Costly Coal

Too much important news is in the air for many
of to pay attention to the burial of six more coal
miners in a gas explosion near Wilkes-B Barre, Pa,
last Saturday night. They still are buried probably
dead, behind hundreds of tons of rock, while COM
panions dig to reach them.
Despite safety campaigns, more than 100 men are
being killed every month in American coal mines.
Coal mine accidents killed 1O7 in September
liz in August In the first nine months of 1881, the
toll was 1,079 miners.
For every million tons of soft coal mined, three
miners must give their lives; for every million tons
of anthracite, six must die.

New States Rights

The vice-chairman of the federal power commits
Ion, Ralph B. Williamson, has outlined an intelligent
theory of state rights.
He suggests that state rights are essential in DO
ltical matters but likely to interfere with he
hest interests of the states themselves and the whole
country when they applied to economic questions
He would preserve to the fullest extent the benefits
Of local self government deriving from state rights
put he would attach less Importance to the doctrine
when dealing with natural resource, such as a river
flowing through many states the proper development
and control of which can be accomplished only bv
cooperation and central agency.
State rights, the battle cry of people fight
ing to preserve the right to govern themselves, in
recent has been perverted frequently to their
own uses by aggregations of wealth seeking to
usurp control.

Extra Weight Has Serious Hazards

The association of overweight
with gallstones is well known, and

among the medical profession which
asserts that the typical case of gall
stones is a woman who is fair, fat

Don't Fall Too Hard

DOLITICS, religion, caste, militar-
4 ism, and everything else capable
of evolving a system have at
tempted to set up self -perpetuating
mechaniSmS.
Democracy was born of opposition
to that idea, but now that de-
mocracy has opened the way for
gigantic commercial and industrial
structures, it comes to the surface
once more.
Here in America, it is proposed
that we make ourselves safe by
merging and combining business on
an unheard-of scale, by repeating
antitrust laws, and clothing boards
of directors with exalted power.
1t sounds novel, especially when
presented in the name of efficiency
but it is merely the old praetorian
guard philosophy made over to fit
an economic age, and we shall be
wise not to fall too hard for it.

Questions and
Answers

Are the fasceS on the United

of Rome, and is the head that of a
Roman God?
The fasces is not used as a symbol
of Rome, but because it was an an

been used in artistic designs for
centuries. The head is that of
Liberty.

The Widows Mite

During these days of appeal for funds to care
for the inevitable distress in the months aheao'
might be well to turn again to the Bible ana read
the story of the widows mite.
In more prosperous days, it brought glow OF sat
isfaction to the less able portion Of the community
1t justified the smallness of their gifts, because they
know that they had given in proportion to their
abilities.
This year it should bring lesson and challenge
to the more fortunate. This is the year when dona-
tions to the Community Fund can not be measured
by the amount given but by what the donor retains
for himself.
Generosity is a matter Of spirit, not one OF dol
lars The man or the woman who is unable 10 spend
his or her income, even when all selfish appetites
and ambitions are satisfied, claim no such title
by giving what to others would mean lifetime OF
competence.
The truly generous are those whose hearts feel
real sympathy for the voorhees, man, whose children
are denied common comfort, and into whose soul
there comes the iron of desperation
The truly generous, when he starts on the high
adventure of becoming his brothers keeper, really
feels brotherly and does not inquire how little his
brother may need to maintain life. Brothers are pre-
sumed to reach something equality of necessi-
ties at least.
One widow reached immortal fame by giving I'M
stintingly, ungrudgingy, unselfshly.
The real question to ask is not how much have
given, bat how much have retained for myself.
Were that rule generally applied the Community
Fund soon would be filled to overlooking and the
objectives of private charity easily attained

1T SEEMS TO ME BY HR RES2S
MOST of the oldest professions

MOST of the oldest professions
Iva are among the least respected,
and little ever has been said in de-
Tense of the beggar. But it seems to
me that he serves a useful purpose.
More than any one else, he literally
is blasted for the sins of the people.
Diseases which exhibit no symp-
toms are the most dangerous of all,
since diagnosis is difficult. And the
beggar is one who cries aloud
against the economic injustices and
inequalities of the system under
which he lives.
Of course, he does not often be-
long in that group known as "the
deserving poor" We all can move
smugly and complacently on our
way as long as the unfortunates in
our midst are worthy.
I suppose the chief identifying
factor of a member of the deserving
poor is that he knows his place and
is corrtent with that state to which
it has pleased Providence to call
him.
