BESIDES THE
iHAKER
He Has His Uses, but the
World. Is Full of Good
Works Also, and Is Grow
ing Better "Brother's
Keeper" in Action,
By FREDERIC 3. HAS KIN.
(Copyright, 1908. by Frederic J. Haskln.)
Philadelphia, Nov. 24. Despite the
muckrakers who are looking only for
evtl; despite the would-be reformers
who expose only the seamy side of life;
despite the continuance of the world
old belief In man's Inhumanity to man,
this country is growing better every
day.' There Is a big. concerted effort
on the part of Its people to lift them
selves and others to a higher plane of
efficient cltlsenshlp. This is being done
through education, industrial training',
practical nelghborliness and an amplifi
cation of .that spirit of loving charity
which, according to the old Judeon law,
should make of a man his brother's
keeper. On every hand there 1b abun
dant proof of the great uplift of the
nation,
Out of the chaos of spasmodic giv
ing ana sentimental cnarity wnicn ap
plied only to immediate needs, is being
evolved a new system of practical phil
anthropy that has organised charity
into a helpful machine, and that offers
prevention and cure at the same time.
Because the best way to help a man Is
to show him how to help himself, mod
ern philanthropy Is beginning to devise
means of giving that help. State, coun
ty, district, city, church and private
charity still overlap In many places,
but charity organisation societies are
showing the greater good of systemat
ized effort.
Cop for Honest Unfortunates.
Buffalo organized Its rharltles SO
yars ago, Philadelphia 19. and New
York 26. Boston and Baltimore suc
cessfully organised shortly after these
and by 1881 there were 20 cities In this
country with organised philanthropy.
Charities such as these work to give
alleviation, offer permanent cure, and
provide for preventive measures. What
Is possible in the larger cities Is also
possible In the smaller.
Where a quarter of a century ago
the beggar was given alms and dis
missed as a nuisance, modern philan
thropy has a better plan. It feeds
him, gives him a bath and a room for
the night, and then begins a study of
his case. If he Is ill he a sent to the
hospital and given treatment, if in
curable, to the home for such; .if he is
mentally defective, he becomes n ward
of the county or state and effort Is
made to awaken his waning Intelli
gence; If he is blind or crippled he Is
flven a home and taught some slmola
ndustry that will make him self-sustals-Ing
and leave him his self respect. If
he Is strong, able-bodied and willing,
modern philanthropy will help him find
what he wants and offer him training
In night classes or free technical schools
to fit himself for better work
Bop Also for Even the OrishlnaL
If he Is a vagrant, a criminally Idle
fellow, he Is given a chance to reform.
If he Is -proved a criminal, then comes
modern philanthropy with one of Its
biggest arguments for altruism It at
tempts to cure rather than to punish.
In olden day a criminal was a moral
leper to be shut away in solitary con
finement or herded among others of
even worse propensities than his own.
Solitary confinement has proved of no
value in this country, and the segrega
tion of criminals has made them worse.
Idleness has proved the greatest curse
In American penal Institutions.
Modern philanthropy means to cure
each criminal If possible. More than
halfi the people that have committed
crimes are Ignorant of any kind of trade.
The present day method of treating
these people Is to give them a chance to
reform and become citizens by teaching
them a trade .nat makes them Inde
pendent when they go lnto the world
again. It means that the model penal
institution shall no longer torture these
morally sick fellows with the curses of
idleness or solitary confinement, but
offer them work as a cure.
Employers of labor In all kinds of
commercial md manufacturing enter
prises have been "Investigated" and
criticised until it is a wonder they have
the courage to go on proving their Trielp
fulness In the great uplift movement
Long before there were organizations
for prohibiting chlH labor, for abolish
ing sweat shops, or for uplift move
ment among mill operatives, there was
work being done by .employers In both
northern and southern cotton factories,
whether Inspired by commercial or by
altruistic motives. Every up to date
manufacturer Is looking for the best
devices that will preserve the health
and life of his employes, and the one
who does not seek to Improve ihe con
dition of his working people is soon
classed as a back number.
Oar of Children.
Here in Philadelphia may be found
average examples of modern philan
thropy, both private and municipal, an
application of the Idea of "brotherly
love" that was the primary reason for
the city's being founded. Here found
ling babies ana orphans are taken and
placed in homes throughout the state,
a wise example that la being followed
by others. It is knows that, while in
stitutional life gives shelter, food,
clothing and instruction, It cannot give
the greatest essential mothering-for
lack of which hundreds of babies in ;
institutions have pined away and died.
The children here are under com
pulsory education laws and are pro
tected from xaexory worn until 14,
The first permanent day nursery in
America was established for Philadel
phia children, and Ihe first children's
playground in America was that set
apart for them In Fairmount park.
There are Juvenile courts to try small
offenders, and probation officers to give
advice when needed. A society helns
protect them from cruelty and another
helps rina nomes ror mem. A factory
inspection department ana tne fennsyl
vania child labor committee see that
there Is no evasion of factory lama
There are a score or more of colleges
and tecnnicai' scnoois open in the even
ings for young working people, and
there are social settlements that expect
to be of great help. ,
Shelter for the Wayfarer.
- The wayfarer here in a strange city,
either man or woman, can find at any
hour of the day or night a clean bed,
a bath and two meal tickets given in
exchange for three hours' work at
lodges kept by the Philadelphia Society
for Organising Charity. If the way
farer Is seeking; more permanent work
others take convalescent women, and
two sick diet departments or local in
stitutions furnish food , to trohold and
tuberculosis patients pa certificates
r pnysieians. -. . , ; . ,
. looking After Fablio SKesUtb,
. There are . organisations ; aiding the
municipality la Its' anU-tuberoulosIs
crusade. , , The board of health makes a
rigid , inspection, of houses , whose In
mates brlnr home faetorr work, and so
revests the spread of disease. In this
'city of homes" the health is further
sareguaraed by tenement house ana
building inspection by city officials,
aided by a volunteer corps of rent col
lectors known aa the Ootavla Hill asso
ciation. A "special agent" stands be
tween the municipal and the organised
charities as a sort of clear in house of
Information, and so prevents a dupli
cation or work, over lftuo persons in
the exoluslve employ of the city look
after those who need, help.
Here, where the first anti-slavery
protest was sianed ana where the Am
can Methodist Episcopal churoh was
organised, the negro is not forgotten
ana mere are social settlements ana
missions for that race such as are
found in Washington, Louisville. New
York and In a remote Rhode Island
village.
When there was great Idleness the
earlv nart of the vear. the city of Phil
adelphia appropriated $5000 and gave
n nubile parks, just as Chicago soci
eties arranged zor snow isnoveung anu
street cleaning, and Just as the Charity
Organisation society of Indianapolis the
year before used, unemployed men to
build homes for widowed mothers on
some property the society owned.
Satan and Idle Bands.
Modern philosophy sees that It if bet
ter and cheaoer In the long run to pre
vent crime than try so cure It. Blnce
most crimes are committed by men
trained to work, there is a general
tendency to prevent this by putting In
dustrial or technical training Into all
the schools throughout the ' country.
Congested districts offer opportunity
for crime and New York state is st
tempting to relieve the congestion in
city districts by placing people on
farms. Already 15,000 people, chiefly
immigrants, have been so placed, and U
is said that there is room in agricul
tural New York for 2,000,000 more.
Denver, through its Juvenile courts,
has saved 75 per cent of its criminals
without ever sending; them to reforma
tories an argument for more Juvenile
courts and child saving societies. The
probation system In Massachusetts has
kept 67,760 persons out of prison within
eight years, which means ynearly that
many citizens reclaimed for good uses.
As the greatest menace to civilization
is the unreformed ex-convict, bitter
from long confinement snd seeing the
hand of the world set against him, mod
ern philanthropy urges the rehabilita
tion of the discharged prisoner.
The Sage Foundation.
The $10,000,000 known as the Sage
foundation, promises to be a big hilp
in the prevention Of crime. It furnishes
an annual income of half a million dol
lars to be used in making studies that
will result in "The Improvement of
social and living conditions in the Unit
ed States." A study wH be made of
the causes of poverty, vice, Ignorance
and adverse social conditions, snd a
remedy found if possible. Already it
has helped In a great education cam
paign against tuberculosis, has fur
thered the playground extension and the
charity organization extension move
ments, n has financed the Pittsburg
survey, making a year's study of the
economic and physical conditions among
workers there, and has made appropria
tions for scholarships In the four
schools of philanthropy in Boston, New
York, Chicago and St Louis. Bach mall
brings to the trustees of the fund hun
dreds of appeals for help, and, in proof
of the growing altruism of the times,
the great majority of these letters rep
resent good plans for the further uplift
of the people of the nation.
Because of the great uplift movement
the demand for systematized philan
thropy and organised charity, and the
need of trained workers in all phases
of charltv giving, may we not ulti
mately see In this country a government
department of charities, such as the
landtag of Prussia created by law three
years ago? The swift process of evolu
tion we are now witnessing in the world
of charity may bring it about.

By FREDERIC J. HASKIN,
Ltegfanins in this paper Tuesday, Nor 24.
Our correspondent tells how philanthropy has become s
science, how modern dries are organizing private charities
into great machines for greater good, and how hundreds
of factories, mills, acid stores have instituted welfare work
for their employes.
He describes the work of day mtrseries, of institu
tions for the blind and the insane tells of recreation cen
ters and playgrounds for children, and gives an account of
life in a model factory. He shows how citizens are being
made from immigrants, saved to the state by juvenile
courts and reclaimed bv reformatories. He tells of modern
clubs for working girls, and explains the uplift spirit of
the unions and the brotherhoods.
These articles are not altruistic essays they are a
trained reporter's account of facts. They shine with the
light of promise, but their optimism-k justified by the con
ditions they describe.

" Different doctors have different ideas In
regard to cures. Some calL- a suppression of

I claim that nothing less than complete
eradication of disease can be a real cure. I
treat to remove the disease, and not merely,
the symptoms. I search out every root and
fiber of the ailment, and I cure to stay
cured.
I not oply cure all weak conditions

that can possibly cure such disorder perma

no physician other than myself. This may

Whit Weakness Is and How
I Curs It
"Weakness" is merely a
symptom of chronlo inflam
mation in the prostate gland,
brought on by the Improper
treatment of some contracted
disease. A complete and radi
cal cure Is, therefore, a ques
tion of restoring the prostate
gland to its normal state, and
this I accomplish promptly
and completely without the
use of Internal remedies. My
treatment Is a local one en
tirely. It is original and sci
entific and has been proven
absolutely effective by thou
sands of tests. I am con
vinced that by no other meth
ods can full and permanent
restoration of strength and
vigor be accomplished.

cleansed. The last taint vanishes to
appear no more. I employ harmless
blood-cleansing remedies. They are
remedies heretofore unknown in the
treatment of this disease. They cure
by neutralizing and absolutely destroy

cures cannot be other than complete

Don't Starve Your Nerves
A great many people suffer from
ailments caused by weak. Impover
ished nerves, and try to cure these
troubles by dosing , their stomachs
with drugs. It Is impossible. Drugs
are poisons, and poisons wreck the
nerves.
If you are weak, run-down, ner
vous and unambitious; if you suffer
frequent headaches and have spells
of despondency. It means that your
nerves are starving for new energy,
electrlolty. That's all they need, and
nothing else will cure them.
Electro-Vigor saturates the nerves
and vitals with electrlo life while
you sleep. It builds up strength and
vitality in every weakened organ
and drives out pains and aches. '
Electro-Vigor Is tie only success
ful appliance for Infusing electricity
into the body. Its Influence is pow
erful yet soothing and pleasant to
the nerves. All nltrht long It sends
a volume of electric energy Into the
ailing part. It will cure all such
troubles as lumbago, sciatica; in
somnia, nervousness, rheumatism,
weakness of arty kind and stomach,
kidney, liver and bowel disorders.
I have used Electro-Vigor about 40
days and I feel like a new man.
Electro-Vigor has done even more
than you claimed It would do.
