WHY NOT A FEW EXTRAS FOR THE KIDDIES.
Ottawa lias been facing all kinds of drives looking toward relief
of Buffering, from those at hotnc to women and children five thou
sand miles away. The res p use in everj case ha- been all that
cpuld lit- asked. Now there is one job immediately at hand that
demands (and is receiving) attention; that is the Christmas baskets
and Christmas cheer for those at home who would ordinarilj be
overlooked and who are unable for various reasons to prov ide for
their own. The amount of good done by organizations like the
Elks and sonic others are incalculable. But probably the biggest
success in finding the reallj deserving is attained by the Salvation
Army. They are constantly ''on the job" and get the information
first hand. The least deserving are usually the first to get into the
limelight when any donations are being passed around, but to reach
the really deserving is a job that requires an expert.
The real job ahead for ail who lake part in the Christmas
work is to have the basket OT el thing, or whatever is given, get by
not as a charity but as a ;,rit't. There is hardly one of lis but who
knows of some case not perhaps in actual need who would be
brightened up wonderfully iy a httie remembrance, i rtere are
lots of kiddio who are not suffering and whom Old Santa ma) not
pass up entirely but w ho will be mighty shy on the little extras, Mich
as candy, nuts, fruit, etc., that belong to ( hristmas lime. I -n't it
worth w hile to go over the mental 1i-t and pick out a few for w hom
a slight expenditure outside the necessity class would make ( hrist
mas c nsiderably brighter?
This is only a BUggestion, the idea arising from the knowledge
that many are giving through various channels for necessities.
That is all ri,dit, and it is pn per that they should come first, but a
child's CTiristmaa which is limited to necessities isn't tjuite the thing
and a little thought given the less fi rtunate young ters 1 1 this link
will mean a hrighter day for them at a very small expenditure' See
if there are not a few yt U can think of to whom a few of the extras
will mean a hig day.
ADVOCATING AN OLD AGE PENSION.
1 ' Jill -f.CK f) t'ii't. ' ' it '
There seems U be a persistent and growing determination oft
the part of some peppe to dip their fingers into Vnclc Sam's pte
SBtJWesj to obtain something for which ho adequate o'liiiictisa! it
has been given. Over in Ohio, according to a bulletin Issued by
the Manufacturer's Association of that stale, an effort is being
Ptade to adopt an old age pensi.ori, and from present indications it
looks ;ts though the voters of the
question It is. estimated that more tliab
sens would geeK to take acivantasrc
law. The proposition p, make an 'allowance. t three or rive
dollars a week to persons not having an independent animal income!
of or a yearly t tal 1 t' from $12,000,000 to $2O,00Oy0oo, be-
sides Ihc COSt of administration. The proposition is that die moneys
for the payment of these pensions shall be raised by taxation. The
measure has not yet gone beyond the barely possible stage, although
it has been discussed for a number of years hi certain circles. Those
agitating the, question seem to consider the present as the most favor
able time for the presentation of it to the Buckeye voters. The
fact that a person shall of necessity grow old is lamentable, led,
as the fabled Kountain of Perpetual Youth was not discovered by
Ronce de Leon or any other person, there can be no restraining the
passing years. It is equally deplorable that there shall be so many
individuals who will not have an income sufficient to prov ide for
their declining years. But greater than these regrets is the one
thet any considerable number of citizens, through whose veins tbe
red blood of Americanism courses, should find it in their conscience
to advocate a measure that would class the aged men and women
of this country with the mendicants and alms-takers who throng
the streets of some European cities; a system which could have but I
the certain tendency
and womanhood of thi
Ohio or any other statt
measure, humane in principle as it
abundant provisions for the aged,
starting government pauperism.
