Charity.
The current report of the Flower
ltssion and Associated Charities con-
ftalns some Illuminating (paragraphs
rover the signature of Mary P. Lax-
Iton. In outlining the work of a pub
lic health nurse she says, "Charity (In
the common acceptation of the term)
cannot cure poverty-education Is the
only soluton. As an educator, the field
of the public health nurse Is practitc-
,illy unlimited."
"The enormous opportunity for
I preventative work Is perhaps the
nost important factor. The early
recognition of conditions leading to
the loss of sight, hearing, etc, the
ire and prevention of tuberculosis
other communicable diseases.
khrough- instruction in hygiene and
ind right living, the prevention of
Bhlld labor, finding employment for
those who should be capable of help
ing themselves. In fact, everything
looking to the conservation of physic
al and moral health comes In the line
of duty for the public health nurse."
Time was when My Lady Bountiful,
prompted by humanitarian motives or
to relelve ennui, went down Into the
cours and alleys and distributed a
portion of the Income which cost her
no effort She returned home, flatter
ed by the servile thanks of the recip
ients and gratified by a renewed sense
of her own material well being. But
ways have changed. Today, organ
ized charity sedulously avoids the per
petuation of pauperism. .It teaches
and assists thorn in the care of ba
bies and children and in general hy
giene. It points the way to the cor
rection o f developing and congenital
abnormalities .It asks and obtains
state and city and boldly demands
support from the better-to-do on the
grounds that Its efforts depopulate the
asylums, decrease crime, clean up
centers of moral and physical con
tagion and Incidentally lower the tax
rate. Truly, the charity nurse's eld
Is unlimited, but a more fundamental
verity is that education is the only so
lution of poverty.
Ignorance is the original sin the
Insuperable accompalnment of prl
matlve man, and the mother of all
evil throughout the ages. The educa
tlonal work of the public health nurse
of the settlement worker may be
of great breadth, may be based on
an unusual insight into social heeds,
but (unless it recognizes the funda
mental cause of poverty it will only
poultice the social cancer instead of
turning on the rays which will de
stroy the growth. This cause lies In
the present industrial system. Every
individual works for the upbuilding
of the community, but while a few
are rewarded with vastly more than
their share there many are miserably
underpaid. Saving must precede pro
gress. To encourage Its members to
practice thrift, the early community
gaves these members who saved un
usual privileges. These privileges
have grown more Inordinate with each
succeeding generation until they
have become a curse Instead of a
blessing.
To eliminate this curse, with Its re
sultant poverty of the many, social
ism proposes to substitute collective
saving-cooperative capital and to dis
tribute the products to each worker
according to services rendered.
Every effort of the great Internat
ional socialist organization is being
directed to the education of the work
ers, who are mostly poor. Socialism
teaches the worker faith and hope
faith in himself and in the ability of
his class to solve world problems, and
hope of the coming cooperative com
monwealth wherein the terrible pres
ent day struggle for existence will
end, but it inspires him to reject Char
lty. It teaches him to demand from
the community as a right those min
istrations of the most skilled social
workers and would have them ade
quately paid by the community.
Today the field is unlimited; the
reapers are few: the free wind of the
heavens bends the grain away from
the scythe and the scant harvest may
be spoiled by the rain of humiliation.
And'often, when knocking at the rich
man's door, the social worker will
think of the ready help which the
poor extend, one to another, and
which Is voiced in that beautiful line
of the llliad: "For all the poor are
piteous to the poor."
The Dairy Tax.
In making a fight for the repeal of
the ordinance taxing dairymen seven
ty-nve cents a head for each cow
milked, the Central Labor union has
acted unwisley and laid the founda
tion for future complications. This
tax was laid to cover the cost of reg
ular bactrelologlcal inspection of da
Iry herds. It Is reasonable of the in
spection is properly made and ts cost
will be eventually saddled on the con
sumer.
The dairymen, differing from far
mers in general, are employers, not
employes, hiring both milkers and
deliverymen, and are not properly
members of the labo- organization
If the Central finally recognizes them
as such It may, one day, have to de
cide between their Interests and the
interests of organized milkers and
drivers who properly belong in Its
ranks.
A Carnegie Library.
Fortunately, Asheville is not dls
graced with a Carnegie library. Tho
Pack library was the l?t of a man
made his money with the help of tho
.people of this community, who knew
the mintimately and enjoyted their
respect. Admirable in its inception
Its usefulness can be Indefinitely ex
tended by private and city aid and
will be when the people of the town
fully appreciate its value. A cam
those Instituted for not more worthy
purposes would double Its ncome
permit a substantial reduction in its
yearly charge, and not greatly in
crease the work of the librarians. It
has no need of any "prestige" which
might be conferred on it by the name
of Carnegie, who, following the ex
ample of many of hit class, has be
come a British citizen after muloting
the American people of millions.

From City
to Country
Criticise Caucus Rules.
Washington That the national gov-
rnment Is now dominated by a mi
nority of the voters drawn from the
most reactionary section of the coun
try is one of the facts that the pro
test against the Iron rule of the demo
cratic, caucus has brought to light.
It has been pointed out that 16
southern states have 137 democratic
representatives in congress, enough to
completely rule any caucus These 18
states are Alabama, Arkansas, Dela
ware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland. Mississippi, Mis
souri, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Virginia.
These states control the caucus that
controls the majority that formulates
national legislation. .
In 1912 these states cast a total
vote, for all parties of 3,180,473. At
this same election the three Industrial
states of California, Illinois and
Pennsylvania cast a vote of 3,026,770
(almost as many as the 16 southern
states) and have only 74 votes in the
house of representatives.
Advooates of legislation in the in
terest of labor are alarmed by the
discovery that the dominant power in
the caucus, and therefore in congress,
is in the hands of the section of the
country most backward In all laws ap
plying to labor.
It Is In these states that are to be
found the most barbarous child labor
laws, or lack of laws, the most vicious
vagrancy statutes, the most murder
ously inefficient factory laws, the
most antiquated criminal legislation
and. In short the least modern system
of social laws to be found in this
country.
Even more sinister la the fact that
this domination is maintained by a
wholesale disfranchisement of the
working class In the south. While
the three Industrial states above nam
ed have a population of only 115,641,-
251, this population casts almost as
many votes for members of congress
the 31,128,297 persons who live
in the 16 states that control congress
at the present time.
In the industrial states 1 person in
every 5 can vote, while In the doml
nating south at present, only 1 person
ip 10 can go to the polls. To put it
in an even more striking way, each
voLer in the states that are now legis
lating for the nation casts two votes
to one cast by the workers in the
north.
Oscar Underwood, the democratic
leader in the house, and the man who
has more to say about legislation than
any other member of congress, was
elected by a vote of 12,684, while
Victor Berger received a vote of 18,
880, or 1306 more than Underwood,

Says Church Must Preach More So
cialism to Reach World ngmen.
Detroit, Mich. Charles Stelzle, who
recently resigned from a ministerial
position in the Presbyterian church,
and who has long been a "fraternal
delegate" at American Federation of
Labor conventions, told an audience
in this city that the church must
preach more socialism If it Is to reach
the laborers.
"The church must be more sincere,
more democratic and must preach
little more socialism before the labor
ers will come back to It. Men who
have stood high in the churches, have
tricked the laboring man on the out
side and the fact has been spread
abroad. These men have been so buf
feted; they have been so 111 treated
and so often tricked that they are
suspicious of every man who claims
to be doing something for them.
"Finally the church must preach
little more socialism. Worklngmen do
not care to hear the tales or the old
biblical people. What they want is not
resolutions or gospel, but movement
something that can be done.
"Twenty-five years ago, a French
statesman decided the fact that any
one should consider the social prob
lem. No serious man would say that
today. Now is the time of labdt nn
rest, the time of the formation of
great movements, and yet some men
cannot see the significance of trad
unions, socialists communists and
populists. It is the forerunner of
crisis when the church must stand as
a competitor of these things an
when It must either fall before them
or absorb them.
"Nearly every worklngman believes
In the Carpenter of Nazareth as the

By, The majority or laboring men are
intensely religious, although they do
not attend church. They hunger fo
religion. And all these things make
It true that the church must com
against or face such movements as
socialism. These movements are moral
problems and therefore somewhat of
a religious nature"
