THE WAR ON HUNGER

hunger relief bill has been voted out Of COM
mittee and is before the United States senate for
action in the short session. Combining the Costl-
gan-La Toilette and Cutting bills it is lifeline for
100000 destitute families and 100000 homeless
youths.
The revised bill separates hunger relief from
business and public works loans separate board
of three including expert social worker, would
administer outright grants to the states OF the
s5oOOOOOOO set aside for the next two years. $l5OO0,
600 is earmarked for transient These sums are
needed desperately
The country is spending 81 900 1000 year now
on relief More than a third of the unemployed are
on charity But every report proves that the states
and communities are about at the end of their re-
sources
Private charities and local public funds are de-
pleted. We have reached the third phase OF the
relief campaign-federal aid
At the senate committee hearings two-score re-
lief workers from many states testified. They had
come from the firing line. Practically all of them
said that the fight against hunger is going against
them. Practically all urged quick and ample fed
eral grants.
If any one doubts that this rich country's enemy
today is hunger, let him listen to these hunger
fighters:

KEEPING THE SCHOOLS

The proposal that the state pay the minimum
wage of every teacher in the state calls attention
to the fact that there many districts and To-
calities which are longer able to pay for the
maintenance of schools.
No longer will the tax receipts stretch far enough
to provide for education. Farming localities, once
prosperous, can not pay. Ill the mining regions
children must grow into manhood and womanhood
ierate unless some drastic change is made in
the method of raising money.
There will be general approval of the declaration
of Governor McNutt that the children shall not be
neglected and that the defation shall not hit at the
rights of the boys and girls to education, or the
start toward an education.
But what is happening to the schools will soon
happen to other agencies of government unless men
given work and prices of commodities especially
farm commodities, are increased.
Some cities will run short of money to pay police
and f1remen and the garbage collector. Hos
pitfalls may be closed The health departments will
suffer.
The proposed sales tax to raise the revenues for
the schools is much more likely to add to the diff
cuties encountered by the districts which face
the abolition of schools unless the state comes to
the rescue. That will decrease the buying power
of the consumer of the products of farm and mine.
All will agree with the decision that the schools

Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

GAY what you will about the Vctorians, thew had
- too much sense to spend good money to hear
barber shop jokes. If they wished to indulge their
sense of indecency or to satisfy an inner urge for
smut, they went to the poolhaH and RECALLED them
selves with ribald conversation while the women
whispered behind their hands at home
Nowadays pay three, sometimes four dollars
to hear the same kind of thing from the stage and
think ourselves smart while we do So We are GER
tain that this proves that we understand life and
its profounder Implications
One of the oldest New York productions now is
touring the country. 1t advertises "the most beau
tfu girls in the world" A great deal of money
has been spent the girls really are young and lovely
and the scenery gorgeous that it might have been
a glamorous and entertaining spectacle. But Jokes
are just plain nasty.
WITHOUT being blessed with a too delicate
W esthetic sense even a slight degree of
prudishness, most of us enjoy now and then an off,
color wisecrack, if it is clever. But most of the
stuff hears the stage these days is not clever
1t is only vulgar.
1t is the sort of thing that drty-minded little
boys used to gggle behind the barn. Because it
bears the New York trademark it is accepted in
most places the thing, though it is obvious
trash without the slightest appeal to our sense of
humor or fun.
Personally, don't believe that the majority of
any audience, anywhere really likes three hours of
vulgar bedroom scenes, hoary jokes based upon the
natural functions of the human body and moron
antics.
Most Of us, although may pretend, to impress
others, really feel faint shrinking ghoStly sense
of shame spiritual humiliation. This is the only
reasonable way to excuse our taste
AS people, We can't have degenerated into such
a company of driveling pervertS a good deal of
our stage entertainment proves us to be.

SATURDAY. JAN. "a. 1898.
CUTTING COSTS

The plan TO give the Governor approximately alb
solute authority to employ and discharge state en-
ployes, to fix wages limit expenditures has much
to commend it.
The Governor of the state is held responsible
for results He can not function without the proper
authority.
State administration, in most of its aspects, is
a purely business proposition. Business men have
long held to the theory that if the principles
that are used in business applied to govern
ment the cost could be reduced materially. Now it
is proposed to give the Governor chance to do
exactly that thing.
more timid man than Governor McNutt might
shrink from the responsibility that such reorgani
cation of state government will bring.
While the power of patronage is looked upon as
a mighty weapon in politics. it works both ways.
If the cost of government is not reduced, if the
service is impaired the protest is certain to be much
greater than political results inspired by those who
have received jobs
Under the present system the public can not
locate responsibility for any shortcoming. Numerous
boards, commissions and minor officials have author
ity. The Governor who gets most of the blame, is
helpless unless he wishes to be in continual quar-
rel with his board members.
Complete authority and unacceptable responsibility
should get the necessary results. The cost of gov
eminent must be reduced The Governor should be
given free hand to cut out the eXtravagances. 1t
is not an enviabe job

Facing Facts

Yet it is far from enough that
the condition should be recog-
nized. This is assuredly the time
for theorists. And that the world
is not ready to admit. Many still
believe in the muddle- Through
philosophy.
I do not even deny the possibil-
ity that the world may stagger out
of many of it's difficulties through
blind luck and inertia. 1t is not
even impossible that within five
years we might again see so-called
boom times and the skyrocketing
of stocks.
And that, I think, would be the
final piece of telling testimony
against the folly of our organiza-
ton. 1t would be the crowning
piece of evidence that we live in
a mad world which has no mech
anism to assure stability and free
dom from fear.
Once upon a time economics was
an academic subject reserved al
most entirely for college profess
sors and their occasional pupils.
Nobody paid much attention to the
tariff, because it was heard of only
every four years in campaign
speeches.
The gold standard was accepted
as readily as the sunrise and sun
set. AS the phrase goes, we set
tied" that issue in 1896.

Every Day Religion
: BY DIR. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

A STORY of old Japan, as
L n told by Lafcadio Hearn, gives
us a hint each of us can follow.
When the people of a tiny village
by the sea were out working in
their low-lying rice fields, the
tremor of an earthquake was felt.
One man, whose farm was on
the hill behind the village, saw
from his higher level what the
others did not see. He saw the
sea draw swiftly back beyond its
usual limits of retreat, and he
knew that it meant the coming
of a tidal wave.
Not an instant was to be lost;
the people must be gathered to
the hills or perish. Hastily he
set fire to his rice ricks-- all that
he had-and furiously rang the
temple bell. His neighbors in the
fields below heard the sound, and
looked up and saw the burning
ricks.
They rushed to the hill to help
their neighbor, as they thought,
in his dire plight. Then, looking
back seward they saw the wild
waters rushing in over the place
where they had been working, and
understood how they had been
saved.
Il
TINE story tells how after the
Il disaster was over and the
ruin had been repaired-the man
who had done this heroic self
sacrificing act being still alive and
their neighbor-the folk of the
village used to go to the temple
and worship his spirit.
1t was as if through the saving
act of a neighbor and friend there
had been revealed to them
swift touch and vivid glimpse of
"A Living God" which is the
title of the story.
1t takes one back to the hills
of Galilee, where, long ago,

We Face q Theory

DUT now these theories OF trade
ID and banking and currency are
matters of life and death to every
one of us. Four years ago Tech
nocracy never would have made
the first page. AS a matter OF
fact, from present indications it
is about to take its departure Tor
some more obscure spot inside.
And yet the furry of attention
which it got and deserved shows
that at least part of the public
is intent upon listening to men
who attempt an appraisal OF
fundamentals, whether their con-
illusions are solid or marred here
and there.
If we are to go on living and
planning from day to day depend
upon it that tomorrow will be
precisely like the twenty-tour
hours which preceded, and so on
and so on.
We can not face simple and I'M
mediate conditions. We must look
ahead and weigh all the available
theories. In other words, the year
1888 can be a period Of betterment
only if we begin here and now to
plan for 1943.
