Chicap, frn.Jfatf work
, responsibility. Charity is the great
.- fit of material blessings, bat it is
- also very dangerous. We say can'
gerous . because once a person
taught to constantly accept charity
that person loses the desire to help
- himself. He becomes a drone in many
cases and lives under that fearful
misundbrstanding ' that "the ' world
owes, him a living."
Our atention has been called many
times of late to duplication of charity,
that - is, several organizations have
- contributed to the same case, each
organization being unaware of the
charity extended by the other. "
' For this reason we hold the be
lief that Associated Charities should
be organized in La Grande at once.
. And that organization should be und
er the direct supervision of the Neigh
; borhood club. We mention the Neigh
bortiood club because of its capability
. of handling the matter and for the
'further reason that no individual or
organization, religious or 'otherwise,
. would object to ' 'working with the
, noble women of La Grande who. com
prise Uis club, , .
s For years each of the churches has
I done fa volume.; of charitable Jwork
!, during the .winter, months. Lodges
.also have extended their, free will of -
feringg outmdfe their , membership,
and of late many individuals have
. done quite a little in a charitable way.
Constant duplication . in charity is
going to- make, some drones, a thing
..which should be prevented by all
means. For the human being who is
taught to "lean on his neighbor" in
v times .when foe could toelp himself ;
i . ceases to be the active, alert Americ
. an citizen that he should be.
We have no disposition to minim -.
in-rthe ;work done by any organiza-
t(on along the line of charity. On
tfhe other hand we cannot commend
puch work too strongly. But at pres
to ent we lack organization in La Grande.
The work should have a . head and
; perfect system should prevail. No
: cne In the city Viould go hungry, no
. ' one should . need luel and clothing
witout receiving it, but we positivey
object to the making of store houses
of charitable offerings as has been
: done in some caBes. ' ;
It seems to us that a solution of
thin whole matter is very simple. Let
- the Neighborhood club superintend
and direct' te charitable work, all
