Bat the rosy prospect of -making "a living wage" after several years spent in straggling along on the salary of a cabinet officer, has not blinded Mr. Lane to another opportunitythat for' striking a few powerful blows on behalf of the man who is down but never otrtP Franklin K. Lane has accepted! an invitation from Commander Evangeline Booth, to become the national chairman for the Salva- tJon Army's annual appeal for funds in 1520. He is already on this iob altbooffh Wall Street executive tor another month. "It is a genuine privilege to find opportunity for encouraging a work so direct and practical and so vskorble to the masses of the people, as the work of the Salva tion Army "said Mr. Lane at his o&ce in Washington the other day. "When Commander Mbs Booth asked me to take the responsibilities of national chair man for the 1920 appeal of that organization," continued the sec retary, "the first thought that flashed across rey mind was how can I spare time , for such work when 1 am entering upon a commercial task of great respon sibility, America's Debt to Army. "And then there flashed across my mind a vision of the things the Salvation Army does the help it gives to men and women and little children just when and where they heed it most, and I thought to myself that after all there could be no more important thing than this. So I accepted along with) the other job, and I an trusting to the generosity of ray new employ ers to endorse my action in tko matter. MB ( J I ! . f : rawtwoe EvoetjMB cCgQrw o ! Iiimi' . . . -j sdA X believe every" righwbinking' man and woman in America owes the Salvation Army some of his or her time every year. And I am going to pay my share. I am go VBg to eet my shoulder squarely behind the movement for human uplift that can win the hearts and the confidence of the people like this Salvation Army has won them in recent years. I am going to pull off my coat and. do some real work that will show where I! stand when it comes to weighing the homely, unostentatious and highly practical relief methods of this amazing band of workers. I heard the call. The problem of the poor are there to be. solved, and they can nse my poor efforts perhaps; so I have answered the call. More Worlc Less Talk. "I won't do much talking in the coming drive. I will do real work and when I do taUc I don't want to talk to anyone but actual work ers. There will be no speech making by me to those who might4 be curious toahear a ferxner cabi net officer in action, twt who America to show my understand ing and appreciation of the help ful work the Salvation Army is doing in its rescue homes, mater nity hospitals, free claaies, indus trial homes, fresh air fartes and tenement house relief work. "My testimony is not needed, however, in this matter. There unanimous cn one subject and that was, that the Salvation Army understood the average man, knew" how to deal tvith him and simply delivered the gocds on the one. hundred per cent, basis. "There is no division of opinion on that one subject. There could have been no greater test for the Salvation Army than the test it? received in the war. So after ill. 1 am merely adding my voice to J the rxughty chorus I have referred to when I say that the Salvation Army has long since won the.' nght tn make an appeal to the rest of us for its maintenance, and h' am euro, it will not make that api peal in vain. Bulwark Against Unrest. The Sahrattoa Army one year, ago, ahsfidoned its old custom of txggmg in the streets the yean aronnd so that its workers could devote aU of their time and attend tm to the, poor. It makes an aiwj nual appeal each May. Personal..? ly I know of no greater bulwark that could be raised against tho rising tide of human unrest, than to strengthen the hands of thi band of self-sacrificing Christian: i toilers who have the confidence o j all men and women, regardless off; race, creed, color or. position ia. life. I think it is important for tha interests of our advancing civiliza-; tion that such a practical and) ; wholesome work be srnnmatedlj and maintained to the utmost. Poor Always With Us. They say there are no 'dow; and outers' any more, personally: I do not believe it, or If I did be-, lieve it, I would know that the ab-; normal times have swung the pen-; dnlura back too far on one side u and that it will swing far to tho, other side directly. There will al- ways be a bottom to society. The poor will always be with us. We' owe It to our fellow men to know i our neighbor and share hia,' troubles and problems, - and onlyj by that mefhod can we, m all fair ness and righteousness, keep that ' scales balanced in this life. "1 am proud to face the prob j lems of the poor with the Salva- tion Army in such a trying hour, and I hope that American mer and women will stand with me In, the work ahead of us. But they j must be workers. I sha!l have oa time to entertain mere observers." . GII10RE FOR COUNTY BOARD PRESENT MEMBER OF SQHOOL BOARD SEEKS NOMINATION COMMISSION FROM DISTRICT FIVE. L. S.
