“That,” Mr. Asquith replied blandly.

Former President Says Rich Men

fortunate to -Self Support, Not Keep

In the midst of cougratulathms on
his seventy-first birthday Grover Cleve
land, ex-president of the Uniter) States,
found time and interest the other dor,’
to discuss public questions at the Ho
tel Lakewood in Lakewood, N. J. Mr
Cleveland became almost enthusiastic
as he dwelt upon certain phases of na
tional and civic life and made a fer
vent plea for the poor of the country.
He also spoke in djehalf of children,
whom le loves. His appearance belied
his years, as did the vigorous sound of
Ids voice and ids stride.
Asked to talk oti public affairs by a
representative of the New Vork World,
he sakl:
“There has l)eeu too (much excite
ment. too much exploitation. Peace
must come. There must ire reassur
ance. There have been troublous times,
but unless I am mistaken and have al
ways been mistaken in the character
of the American people they will come
safely through.
“What a great people ours are!
Where is the emergency to which they
have not risen? Consider them as het
erogeneous, if you will; consider their,
from any point of view. No matter
what condition has ever confronted!
them, they have met it according to
their lights, and they are good lights.”

and to tuck their gifts into -the pockets

“I have a splendid boy. and I iiave
much pleasure in him,” said Mr. Cleve
land. “We have great times together.
It is great to be a father. Yet when !
think of the little children it makes
me sad. My thoughts are always with
them—the thousands without homes,
the thousands with only half bon^s
and lacking influence and inspiration.
I wish I might do something for them
all.
“There is something big that can l»e
done if only the right man would come
to the front. Yet I am wrong in speak
ing of what an individual might do.
He might lead and direct, but what vve
need in New York. In all of our large
cities, is a proper charity organization.
It should be an organization that will
reach where it ought to reach, not half
way nor half heartedly.
“I have in mind—I have thought +>f
this countless times—a charity clearing
bouse, just as the banks have a deal
ing house, through which everything
belonging to this sphere will pass. I
know we have charity organizations.
t
but ! do not mean that kind. They are
not thorough. This clearing house *1
have In my mind’s eye would be the in
dorser of every proper and noble thing.
A subscriber would know that when
he gave anything, whether it was little
or much, it would be sent through the
proper channels and reach those who
need help. He would have the satis
faction of knowing that the money
was not being used to further this
one’s or that one’s self patented way
of dispensation.
“1 feel deeply about this, and I want
to tell you that if such an organization
as 1 wish to see established should be
brought into being it would not lack
support. I could go over a list of rich
men who would support it nobly. The
rich men of our country are not hard
hearted. They are not stingy. They
want to give, and they do give, but
they are not satisfied. They would give
so much more if they were assured
that those for *vhom their gift was in
tended received it.
“There is something that I have long
wanted to see destroyed, and that is
this contented dcpeudefice of the poor
that we see on every hand. Our so
called charitable dispensations are re
sponsible for it. This dependence is
the thief of self respect. The poor are
not permitted to help themselves. You
know it, and I know it. Once they
come wJthin the ken of the charity
workers they are robbed of their initia
tive. They are made dependent. It is
not a question of bow long the father
•of a family lias been a drunkard that
should be decided first, but whether
1 there is coal in his cellar and whether
his wife and his children have food la
the cupboard. You can get hold of the
father's soul afterward.
“It is the poor who are really kind to
the poor. They do much to help one
another. They keep one another alive
and think about one another. They
could teach many a lesson to which
those who think they understand
things might well give heed with prof

the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first

Columbia, May G.—State Treasurer
Jennings has returned from New
\crk, where he went in connection
with the negotiation of a loan for the
State. The State has borrowed, on
separate notes, the sum of $200,000 at
the rate of four and one-half per cent,
the notes running, until January. This
money is needed for pensions and
other expenses as the State’s income
from taxes is almost altogether one
year behind. It is possible mat
another loan will have to be made
about the first of July, when interest
on the State's bond debt is due.
The State has about three-quarters
of one million dollars, the dispensary
money, on deposit in banks through
out the State at fonr per cent, and at
least two hundred thousand dollars
of this amount is without question
the State’s money, while the balance
may belong to the creditors of the
late State dispensary. The State is
getting one-half of om* per cent less
for its money than it is paying for its
loan.

A Correction.
Gaffney, R. F. D. 1, May G.—I
kindly ask space in The Ledger to
correct a mistake made by some one
as to Mrs. Adeline Clary’s death.
She was an aged lady, in her eighty-
second year. The funeral services
were conducted at her home by her
pastor, Rev. Mr. Rice. She was a
member of Providence Baptist church
and had lived a quiet, faithful life.
Two sisters still survive to mourn
their loss.
Mr. “J. L. S.,” we enjoy your lec
tures, especially the one as to how
people behave themselves at church.
I want to speak a word as to how
some ladies talked so loud at a ceme-
terv not long ago that it disturbed
the people who had gathered there
to pay the last tribute of respect to
their dea r friend. They talked so
loud it disturbed the minister M he
announced the benediction. I will
a^k Mr. J. L. S. to give another lec
ture on good behavior at church ser
vices and perhaps it will change the
ways of some.
With best wishes and succes for
