WORK OF CHARITIES
Joint Report Summarizing
Results Accomplished.
HOUSING CONDITIONS
THE RECORD OF.TWENTY MONTHS
OUTLINED.
Large Number of Men and Women
Aid Boards Without Compensa
tion-The Savings Fund.
The joint report of the Associated Chari
ti<s and the Citizens' Relief Aseociation,
summarizing the results accomplished in the
past twenty months, furnishes interesting
data concerning the work among the needy
of the national capital. The report has
been prepared by Mr. Charles F. Weller,.
gc neral secretary. and Prof. Bernard T. Jan
ney. chairman of the board of managers of
the Associated Charities. It is shown that
during the past fall and winter the total
number o-f subscribers and the collections
of the s,oeiety have been doubled, while
within the past twenty months the number
of friendly visitors, savings collectors and
other unpaid workers engaged in the move
ment has been increased three-fold. Social
settlement work has been inaugurated with
in the year, three new social centers have
heen established, and four of the six division
offices have been greatly improved. Three
new committees have been organized In !m
portant lines of service as follows: Friendly
visiting. improvement of housing conditions,
and summer outings.
The report also mentions the use of the
Associated Charities as a source of informa
tion concerning applicants for help, it hav
ing been employed extensively by chdrches
and other organizations and business fias
for this purpose. The results given in the
report are, in part, as follows:
Record of Twenty Months.
"The community's increasing confidence
and interest has made it possible for the
Associated Charities, during the past twen
ty months, to accomplish larger service
than in previous seasons, in meeting the
pressing necessities of the needy, in pro
jecting new preventive measures, and in
giving more adequate compensation to the
trained agents who devote their entire lives
to the work. Ir. short, the Associated
Charities -of Washington is gradually at
taining its ambition to be thoroughly
worthy of this nation's capital. The
strengthening of financial and personal re
sources during the past twenty months has
been accompanied by a decided increase in
the work which the association has been
called upon to do. Opportunities for help
ing unfortunate families have been reported
more numerously by persons and organiza
tions interested in the work, and the serv
ice of the association has come within the
knowledge of the needy who have been en
abled to apply for assistance.
"One of the most gratifying features of
the growth during the past twenty months
is the fact that a large number of men and
women have been enlisted in some form of
personal service to the needy. A conference
class for the enlistment and training of
these unpaid workers has been conducted
and the results are notable. Resourceful
leaders among the colored people have also
been interested in friendly visiting, and it
is ffelt that this new organization will be of
great value and usefu:ness in the future.
The Savings Collected.
"These unpaid workers have also ren
dered great service in looking after the
savings collections. Several men and wo
men, largely members of young people's
societies in the churches, have been enlisted
to spend an hour or more each week in
visiting a list of comparatively poor peo
ple or canvassing a selected alley or ne
glectt d neighborhood to collect regular
weekly savings of small amounts. These
amounts are deposited with the Associated
Charities, and certificates of deposit are
issued to the parties interested. By this
system new ideas of thrift and provident
planning have been awakened among the
poor, while they have been helped mate
rially by the plan.
"The division conferences have been a
source of considerable strength in the re
cent work of the association, and are a
great assistance to the work of friendly
visiting. An influential committee on the
improvement of housing conditions has been
established. representing the growing de
sire of the Assoclated Charities and of the
entire community to remove some of the
causes of distress by raising the standards
of home life in comparatively neglected
neighborhoods. Personal tours of inspec
tion have been made by members of this
committee among insanitary dwellings
known to the society's agents, and the corn
mittee has been instrumental in effecting
needed improvements.
Fresh-Air Excursions.
"The new committee on summer outings,
which developed during the early summer
to provide fresh-air excursIons for children
and mothers of the cIty, met with success
in its efforts, and the response was gener
onis. A social center committee lately or
ganizedi by the southeast division has fur
nished the office in that sectIon, and is con
ducting a series of helpful social meetings,
in which wholesome entertainment is en
joyed. A second social center committee
has bcen organized among the 4colored peo
ple In the southwest part of the city, with
similar purposes,"
Among other committees whose work is
mentioned with commendation in the re
port are the following: Committee on provi
dent plans, executive committee, finance
committee, committee on division organiza
tion and auditing committee. The finance
committee is especially praIsed for its ef
forts. which have resulted in doubling the
number of subscribers and the amount of
collections.
The social settlement work is reviewed in
the report. Two houses devoted to that
purpose have been established-the
"Neighborhood House," in Southwest Washt
lngton, and the "Noel House," on 1st street
in the northwest. Clubs and classes are
Ibeing conducted at these settlements andi
many young people are receIving the ben
efits of the work. In regard to the duty
of the Associated CharitIes toward south
ern cities in c'harity work, the report con
tains the following:
Hope for Future Usefulnes.
"It is hoped that the Associated Charities
of the national capital, as it grows strong
er within itself and more nearly adequate
to Its own problems, may be able occa
sionally to stimulate and counsel citizens
who are seeking to develop modern phi
lanthrophy in other cities by various means.
In additIon to the fact that an organization
of this charact-r in the national capital
should develop a national reputation and
special duties and opportunities in regard to
Isouthern cities, where the charity prob
lems are especially similar to those of
this city, and where modern 'charity or
ganization societies' are less developed than
in other portions of the country."

ronth between two rival teams-the min
strels and the acrobats. About 175 of the

At the conclusion of the first course Mr.
L. Pierce, general secretary of the as
ociation, announced the result of the con
est. For the past Week the score had
ween kept secret and the result of the con

t President Roosevelt made the principal
address. He said:
The President's Address.
"I do not wish to speak to you in the
language of idle compliment, and yet it .1s
a but a rare statement of fact to say that
k nowhere in our country could there be
ie gathered an audience which would stand
e as more typically characteristic than this
n of all those qualities and attributes which
.e have given us of the United State.s our,com
manding position in the industrial world.
There is no need of my preaching to this
ie gathering the need of combining efficiency
d with upright dealing, for as an American
a and as a citizen of New York I am proud
to feel that the name of your organization
e carries with it a guaranty of both; and
your practice counts for more than any
preaching could possibly count. New York
s is a city of national importance, because
its position toward the nation is unique, and
the chamber of commerce of New York
must- of necessity be an element of weight
In the commercial and industrial welfare of
,e the entire people. New York is the great
port of entry for our country-the port in
e which centers the bulk of the foreign com
y merce of the country-and her welfare is
therefore no matter of mere local or munic
e ipal, but of national, concern.
- "The conduct of the government in deal
ra ing with all matters affecting the financial
and commercial relations of New York
- must continually take into account this
- fact; and it must be taken into account in
o appreciating the importance of the part
played by the New York chamber of com
merce.
Stands for Peace.
"This body stands for the triumphs of
peace both abroad and at home. We have
passed that stage of national development
when depreciation of other peoples is felt
as a tribute to our own. We watch the
e growth and prosperity of other nations,
ie not with hatred or jealousy, but with sin
it cere and friendly good will.
s "I think I can say safely that we have
1. shown by our attitude toward Cuba. by
our attitude toward China, that as re
gards weaker powers our desire is that they
may be able to stand alone, and that if
h they will only show themselves willing to
ie deal honestly and fairly with the rest of
ly mankind we on our side will do all we can
r- to help, not to hinder, them.
af "With the great powers of the world we
d desire no rivalry that is not honorable to
. both parties. We wish them well. We be
d lieve that the trend of the modern spirit is
ever stronger toward peace, not war; to
y ward friendship, not hostility. as the nor
.. mal international attitude. We are glad.
ez inn.eed, that we are on good terms with all
1e the other peoples of mankind, and no effort
on our part shall be spared to secure a
i. continufnce of these relatiqns.
d "And remember, gentlemen, that we shall
t be a potent factor for peace largely in pro
) portion to the way in which we make it
evident that our attitude is due, not to
wegkness, not to inability to defend our
selves, but to a genuine repugnance to
e wrongdoing, a genuine desire for self-re
M specting ftlendship with our neighbors.
"The voice of ie weakling or the craven
counts for nothing when he clamors for
peace; but the voice of the just man armed
is potent. We need to keep in a condition
of preparedness, especially as regards our
navy, not because we want war, but because
we desire to stand with those whose plea
t- for peace is listened to with respectful at
Lt tention.
, Industrial Peace Desirable.
y "Important though it is that we should
r have peace abroad, it is even more import.
n ant that we s'hould have peace at home.
I You, men of the chamber of commerce, to
a' whose efforts we owe so much of our in
~f dustrial well-being, can, and I believe surely
will, be influential in heiping toward that
.0 industrial peace which can obtain In so

id dustrial world which causes so much indi
r- vidual irritation and suffering at the pres.
10 ent day, and which at times threatens bale.
n ful consequences to large portions of the
y body politic.
"But the importance of the problem can
i- not be overestimated, and it deserves to
is receive the careful thought of all men such
as, those whom I am addressing tonight.
is There should be no yielding to wrong; but
id there ehould moet certainly be not onily de'
te sire to do right, but a willingness each to
it try to understand the viewpoint of his fel
it low, with whom, for weal or for woe, his
,n own fortunes are indissolubly bound.
s. No Patent Remedy for Solution.
r- "No patent remedy can be 4evised for the
n solution of these grave problems in the in
dustrial world, but we may rest assured
*. that they can be solved at all only if wc
ae bring to the solution certain old-time vir
-i tues, and if we strive 'to keep out of the
solution some of the most familiar and most
m undesirable of the traits to which mankind
ihas owed untold degradation and-suffer.ng
throughout the ages.
"As-rogance, desp1cion, brutal envy of the
well-to-do, brutal indifference toward those
,who are not weli-to-do, the hard refusal te
acon~sider the righte of others, the foolish
La ref usal to consider the limits of benenicent

Splunder of the fortunate, or of oppression of
the unfortunate-from these and from all
d kindred vices this nation must be kept free

"The chamber of commerce, it is no idle
boast to say, stands in a pre-eminent de
gree for those qualities which make the
successful merchant, the successful busi
ness man, whose success is won in ways
honorable to himself and beneficial to his
fellows. There are very different kinds of
success.
"There is the success that brings with it
the seared soul-the success which is
achieved by wolfish greed and vulpine cun
ning-the success which makes honest men
uneasy or indignant in its presence. Then
there is the other kind of success-the suc
cess which comes as the reward of keen in
sight, of sagacity, of resolution, of address,
combiled with unflinching rectitude of be
havior, public and private. The first kind
of success may, in a sense-arid a poor sense
at that-benefit the individual, but it is al
ways and necessarily a curse to the com
munity; whereas the man who wins the
second kind as an incident of its winning
becomes a beneficiary to the whole com
monwealth. Throughout its history the
chamber of commerce has stood for this
second and higher kind of success.
"It is, therefore, fitting that I should come
bn here as the chief executive of the nation
to wish you well in your new home; for you
belong not merely to the city, not merely to
the state, but to all the country, and you
stand high among the great factors in build
ing up that marvelous prosperity which the
entire country now enjoys. The continu
ance of this prosperity depends in no small
measure upon your sanity and common
sense, upon the way in which you combine
energy in action with conservative refusal
to take part in the reckless gambling which
is so often bred by and which so inevitably
puts and end to prosperity.
Men of Might.
"You are men of might in the world of
American effort; you are men whose names
stand high in the esteem of our people; you
are spoken of in terms like those used in
the long-gone ages when it was said of the
Phoenician cities that their merchants were
princes. Great is your power, and great,
therefore, your responsibility.
"Well and faithfully have you met this
responsibility in the past. We look forward
with confident hope to what you will do in
the future, and it is, therefore, with sin
cerity that I bid you godspeed this evening
and wish for you, in the name of the nation,
a career of ever-increasing honor and use
fulness."~
The address of the President was followed
with close attention and frequent applause.
and at its close the assemblage arose and
cheered.
Speeches also were made by Ambassador
Cambon, Sir Michael Henry Herbert, Sir
Albert K. Rollit, M. P.; PrInce Henry of
Pless, Mr. Heckman, vice president, of the
Berlin chamber of commerce; W. P. Wood,
president of the London Corn Trade Asso
ciation, and Mr. Hugot, representing the
French chamber of commerce, who, in clos
ing, said:
"It is in his own name that a delegate of
Paris thanks you, the representatives of
American commerce, for the support you
have given to a work so dear to our hearts.
After uniting the Mediterranean to the In
dian ocean, France now sees with pleasure
that it is her sister republic, America, who
takes upon herself the task of completing
the great enterprise of the Panama canal.
"The time is not far distant when the Pa
cific will equal the Atlantic by the magni
tude of its commelce: The American re
public, which has .opened the first railway
in Panama, is faithful to -her traditions in
completing the canal which will unite the
two most frequented seas of the globe, and
in the long lapse of ages the names of the
United States and France will be insepara
ble in the memory ot future generations."
COUNT CASSINI OYTENDED.
Did Not Attend Banquet Because of an
Alleged Fanied Blight.
The New York World today say-s:
The Comte Cassini, amliassador extraor;
dinary and minister plenipotentiary of Rus
sia to the United States, did not attend the
banquet of, the chamber of commerce last
night. Instead, he sent a note of regret.
It was generally observed that the count'g
seat was vacant, and there was much spec
ulation as to why he did not attend. It
was, also remarked that, while the flags or
Great Britain, France and Germany bore
a conspicuous place with old glory on tbe
first page of the menu, that of Russia had
been omitted. .
. The fact la that the e6iunt declined to at
tend the banquet becanse be felt that hi
country bad been slighted by the omission'
of the Russian c6lors from.-the menu card
and also by .omission of any reference to
Russia in the text of the souvenir program.
The count said to the member who bad
come to escort him that, in view of the
obvious sIfght put upon his country, he
dould not possibly be present at the ban
quet. Later he sent a note to the president
of the cha ber saying that a sudden indis

THE GRANTING OF PERMITS.
Alleged Delay Subject of Complaints
From Builders and Others.
The Commissioners have during the past
few months received a number of cornmuni
cations complaining of the long time re
quired under present regulations to secure
a building permit. The writers do not com
plain that the fault lies with the building
inspector's office, but argue there should
be a reform in the law requiring the ap
proval of all projections beyond the build
ing line by the Secretary of War. A writer
to the Commissioners today on the subject
declares it requires sometimes four weeks
to secure a permit. One law places the
parking space under control of the Com
missioners and another requires that the
Commissioners can grant no projection- priv
ileges on this space without the consent of
the Secretary of War. From ten days to
two weeks are required, it is stated, to get
a projection through the War Department.
One of the writers on the subject argues
that the Commissioners should be given au
thority to grant projections. If it still be
desired that the Secretary of War shall ex
ercise an influence over t,he subject the
amerfiment might ~e so worded as to re
quire the perwiss n of the War D)epart
ment in all cases of p)rojections exceeding
five feet.
Snowden Ashford, the inspector of build
ings, in speaking of the letters today, said
tihat his office grants permits as fast as the
force there will allow. The office has no
control over projections, and must await
the verdict of the War Department in all
such oases before it can act. For an-or
dinary d'welling or a row of dwrellings, he
said, the time required for the granting of
a permit in his office was but three or four
days. For large office buildings and apart
ment houses about ten days were required
for going over the plans to see that they
comply with the regulations. The office
force is still inadequate, Mr. Ashford says.
The White Republicans.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
As an old subscriber and admirer of The
Star I was very sorry and much surprised
to see your editorial in the issue of Satur
day on "Black Eyes for 'Lily Whites' "
which does great injustice to a much mis
understood body of men-the white republi-e
cans of the south. You plainly state that
the republicans in the south deserved to be
beat in the recent elections, and dub them;
"iiy whites." I am not so well informed
as to the situation in Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana. but in Virginia and Nortir
Carolina there is no "lily white" party, and
in North Carolina, my native state, the re
publican party stands for the same that it
does in the north.for sound iuoney, pro
tection, a free ballot and a fair 'count. It
was never a "nigger" party nor is it! hbW
a "lily white" party. It is true that the
democratic party, by force and fraud suc
ceeded in disfranchIsing the negro, which
injustice was fought by the republican
party with ali its might, but having failed
to prevent it. the republican party in North
Carolina in the recent campaign appealed
to the whites for support, believing that
there is nothing In its principles' whielt
should prevent the white men of the south
from .joining it. and the election Ehown
goo ,.rults, (or it is beaten no worsethni
it was two years ago, although since tt
tieitvas been robbed of at least 60,000O
negr voes.The party there is in god
shape, as future elections will show. It is
led by honorable and patriotic men, who
need encouragement by republicans of the
north and believers in fali" play ekerywhere.
