A REAL REUBEN
A family moves into a town and
the first thing the people on the I
street begin to ask are they in our
set? Perhaps they are in the right
set, pay their bills and become prime
movers in efforts to make the community
a better place in which to live.
But they may be of that other
class, the class which those of the
average town does not learn how to
handle. !
After years of experience with see|
ing persons come and go it becomes
patent that only the better class of
people are really desirable, the class
that wants to work and pay its way,
or, being beyond the necessity of
work still wants to pay its way.
A family can move into a town and
become its greatest burden, without
breaking its ordinances or laws. The
shiftless arc the first to beg for assistance
when cold weather comes,
they are more often the first to take
contageous diseases and spread them.
| If the fire whistle blows it is more
| than likely that it will call the department
out to fight a fire started
[ by carelessness, ignorance or faulty
I stoves. If the police siren is sound|
ed, it is a nine-to-one shot that it is
I calling the police to settle some difI
borne of some poor,
I shiftless person. When death comes,
chanty is asked to put away a person
of this class that has in all probaj
O'my spent more money foolishly
than those who have to dig up to
| bury him.
It is always the improvident and
the shiftless who never try to save
or do for themselves, who become the
burden upon society. They always
have a hand to hold out asking for
something at the hands of others.
Ignorance and lack of education,
which are not always the same thing,
are usually found to be factors in
keeping this class of persons on the
chanty roll. They may prosper for
a time, but they never save a cent
for the rainy day, they seem to know
that those who work and who are educated
will take care of them in some
way, and yet it is the burden of their
song that those who are able to help
them are "keeping them down."
"Charity suffereth long and is
kind." Those who supply money for
charity never seem to stop to consider
that there might be some other
way than doling out help to this class.
It has never occurred to many that
indolence is a disease, that shiftlesshess
is a disease, and that these ills
may be cured by colonization and segregation
of the sexes and evan the
families, until the individuals are
cured so that they<jwill be willing, in
order to hold the4r place in a home,
to shift for themselves.?Monroe Enquirer.
