PERKINS AND PATRIOTISM
(ieorge W. Perkins is unjust
In I lie (rival captains of industry
and til*' railroad magnates and
financiers of this country when
he complains that in the past
they have neglected to devote
their at lent ion to public affairs.
"What we greatly need now, *
not only among our men in pub
lic life, who are supposed to be
servants of the people, but also
among such of our people as have
wealth and leisuure. What we
need is a revival of the patriotism
of Ibis latter class to a point
where they will give not only of
their means hut of their timf,
their earnest thought and elTorl
In our country's problems."
Mr. llarriman was a patriot.
Did he not give of his means and
his time when in 100 i, at Mr.
Roosevelt's instance, he raided
$2(50,000 for the republican cam
paign fund and so helped to
change, as he declared, 50,000
in. this city alone? Was he not
also ready to give up his lime
aiding Mr. Roosevelt in making
railroad recommendations to con
gress ?
jonn i». a re 11 uo in was a pat run.j
Did he not give earnest lliouught
iind effort—and $250,000 in Stan
dard Oil cash besides—in 190 i to
the problem of keeping Mr.
iioosevelt in the While house for
a second term?
K. T. Sloicsbury was a patriot.
Did he not, as represent alive of
"the Morgan interests that, have
heen so friendly in us," give of
his means and his lime In the
country'^ problems When in 10()i
he acted as campaign collector in
Philadelphia for the Roosevelt
fund ?
Mr. Perkins was a patriot.
Ihouprh modesty forbids him lo
boast of it. Did he ito| give his
I
earnest Ihoiight and elTorl lo (lie
country's problems when in I'm',
he I timed *18,702.50 of I In* New

A SLUM FOR EVERYBODY
Dr. Woods Hutchinson, the dis
tinguished Court Physician of I he
Hull Moose parly, has ronllded lo
the American Public Health Asso
ciation that the feeble-minded,
the menially defective people
from whom criminals and alco
holics arc largely drafted, do no!
f-'orne from (Tie slums or from Ki
lls island. "The two great res
ervoirs" of such undesirahles nre
"little colonies all over I he coun
try " of in-breeding "cliicken
thieves and feudists" and "Itic
roof of society," the "idle and
mentally weak of the 'Four Hun
dreds' and 'Ten Thousands.' "
. The great majority of the pro
file, according to Dr. Hutchinson,
are reasonably hale and sane.

We must abolish Fifth avenue
and other "roofs of society" and
establish slums there. As for
country life, as for the farm,
that hoary headed old sinner that
has won so much mistaken praise,
crush the infamy, as the, late M.
Zola would remark. It, too
mnst make way for the health
giving slum.
Or if the farm for a little whih
must be retained, since not quite
all foods can be synthetically
produced in laboratories, a shin
for every fifty farms or so, on tin
co-operative principal familiar ii
the neighboring cheese factory
would furnish a plaee where al
might be compelled to liv<» uihIim
