MOST PROVERTYlS
DUE TO ILL-HEALTH
Nathan Straus Says that His Motto
is "To Help the Poor to Help
Themsehre."
Self-preservation is the first law
of nature, Nathan Straus, the phi
lanthropist, says in The Detjnea
T0R for December. -Self-sacrifice
in the interest of society is a prime
jaw of civilization. Willingness to
sacrifice one's pleasure and comfort
in some degree to needs of humani
ty this is of prime importance in
all charity.
I do not regard giving to charity
as a form of special mercy Devotion
of a part of our wealth to those less
iortuuate than ourselves is demand
ed by juctice dictated by conscience
and expressly , commanded by the
Mosaic law. It seems impossible
for society to be just. If our pre
sent civilization really gave .qual
opportunities to all and special pri
vileges to none, there would be
very little need for charity. But
society is unjust. It does not give
the child in the slums the same op
portunity as the child in the marble
palace, ouch being the sase, it is
Dot the privilege but the duty, of
every oue able to support himsell
and those dependent upon him, to
confer a part of the blessings which
be eDjoys upon others less fortunate
than himself. It is our auty to do
our utmost as individuals to redress
the inevitable injustice that we per
petrate as a society.
If we rocognize that to give to
the poor is a just and necessary ac
tivity of the lortunate possessor of
much or little the question at once
arises as to how it is best to give. A
true philanthropist is anxious to
give in a manner to accomplish the
most gocd. A real philanthropist
at once asks himself, "What are to
be my principles of giving? I have
long ago answered this question, at
least for myself. My purpose has
always been "to help themselves."
I have decided that I can do this
best by supplying them with pure
food. I try to help the poor, and
especially the babies of the poor, to
keep well and grow up strong by
iutoishing them with clean, germ
free nourishing milk. Most pover
ty is traceable- to ill-health, and
most crime is traceable to poverty;
so I am trying not only to alleviate
misery by helping the poor to help
themselves; 1 hope, also, to perform
a social serv ce in lessening the
amount of crime. I feel that if we
gave more oi our money lor pure
food, we would need to give less for
hospitals and also less for jails.
If we are to help people to help
memseives we must not encourage
3roegging oy promiscous giving
i i . .
1 o avoid either encouraging begg
ing or pauperizing those temporarily
in need oi alm, I-hit upon the plan
ot selling pure milk at a nomina
price for about a third of its value
So the man who receives the mi k
pays for it and is not made to feel
ihat he is the reciment of al-ns.
Each one must decide for him
ll now much he wishes to give to
charity. I have again answered
this question at least to my own satis
faction. The old Hebrew law com
wands us to give one-tenth oi our
HK-ome to the poor. I have taken
tins as a minimum limif. nlwavs
ieeliiiir that as I should devote a Iar
fcr Dronortiotr of what I had to hu
wanitv. "Of him to whom much
given much is expected "

Supreme Court Vacancy.
Philadelphia Press.
. v xi uie oju ruie oi . selecting: one
Supreme Court justice from each of
the nine circuits were to be followed
Pennsylvania and New York could
p3esent substantial claims for' the
place made vacant by the recent
death of Justice Peckham. When
these nine circuits were established,
in 1869, it was with the idea of
having one Supreme Court justice
from " each of them. Many able
lawyers and juries believed, and still
believe, such a plan a wise one. It
has not been followed with any re
gularity, however, and now the
Second, Third and Fourth circuits
are with representation on the-Su-preme
Bench. -
The First and Sixth circuits have
tiro men each in the Supreme Court
Justices Holmes and Moody from
the First and Justices Harlan and
Day from the Sixth. It does not
appear that President Taft is much
impressed by the old idea of equa
representation irom the circuits
The persistent reports that he is
giving earnest consideration to sev
eral men in the sixth circuit would
indicate that he is not.
All things being equal, it is re
garded as probable that Mr. Taft
will select a Demociat to fill the
Supreme Court vacancy. This
means that he will make his own
definition of what a, Democrat is
It can be safely said that the radi
cal Bryan type of Democrat will no
be chosen. The old-line Democrat,
like Judere Gray, of the third cir
cuit; David T. Watson, of Pitts
burg, and Senator Bacon, of Georgia
furnish the type of man which ..Mr.
Taft will choose, if he selects a
Democrat. Unfortunately the men
named above are too far advanced
