KAUFMAN'S ORCHESTRA 6 TO 10 SATURDAY EVENING. CORNET SOLOS BY DR. LAIRD. PROBLEM OF ENGLISH POVERTY i " rlesitists Seekt Remedy for pallia PamperUsa la ICngland. ..i the October number of the West minster Review Mr. W. V. Roberta write f Bc(eno and I'ovtrty." His teat of I u arty Is that formulated by Mr. Rown u. who has. studied thoroughly the eon- UIU m or ma pvw That family is In poverty wnot total earnings are insufficient to obtain the min imum iieei-esarlea f' r the nvilu enance of nirrely phyeical efficiency, or ho total earnings wouiu -....,v n i wr i the maintenance of merely phyi-leal BrH cleiicy wuru 11 not that Kiaa purUou oX It was absorbed by other expenditure, either useful or otherwise. But London and many other British cities know a poverty far below this standard, absolute hopeless poverty. One night last winter the public health committee of the London County Council made a census of the homeiees poor of London. The officers of the council Waited certain districts of the metropolis and com. ted In that night, walking about the street, 1.463 men, lid women ai d forty-six toys and !"ir girls apparently uni.er th age of 16. They ulsj found 10 male and sixty-eight females asleep in doorways, un der srenways and on vialicaea. n.aking 1.797 uersona who it must be cresumed were I so plteoiialy poor th.it they hud n it trie wherewithal to irovlde themselves with I the i heaiK'Si hospitality ol a c mnun lo ig : ing houiM To put It another way, one person In iinjo of the population was lortej 10 upcna tne areury niuis or a winters night in the eold stre.-ts of London. The bguriM.cbuvvy but a Xalul loipiaulun ol the sum total of human misery Jat they rep reHent. We cannot grasp all the hideous signlfleance of such a depth of outcast wretchedness. But It Is a striking picture of concrete poverty and Is worth many ab stract definitions. The principle of the present union system of relief In England Is described by Mr. Roberts as this: "That the tandard of comfort of the pauper ought to be lower than that of the poorest laborer, on the ground that to make pauperism comforta ble Is to encourage Indolence and vice." At present 65 Boards of Guardians are cir. j rying out this principle and system, and I15.5K3 bodies take part In the administration of the pour law. Yet alajlute pauperism U nut decreasing as It should. In 18TS Eng. land had Sn.sSO paupers, 104.S17 of them adults; and the bill was HI, 162.360. In Jan uary, im, relief was being glvta to IT,- m paupers, 112,616 of them able bodied, and the bill for 1902 was 161,306,960. Discourag ing figures, and of course, the poor law relief does nothing whatever for the per manent removal of poverty. Mr. Booth estimated that thirty per cent of the people of London are "below the poverty line." In York. Mr. Rowntree. In vestigating on his own hook and by hut own methods, put the average at twenty eight per cent. The census of lmn showe that the urban population of the Unlud Kingdom was seventy-seven per cent. If London and York are typical -towns, thn, leaving village poverty out of consider tlon. twenty-one or twenty-two per cent of the entire population "is without the means of keeping themselves In merely physical efficiency." What UUa gorl o tjOstabfi. means to the families subjected to It is de scribed vividly by Mr. Rowntree; A family living upon the scale allowed for in tills estimate must never spend a penny on railway fare or omnibus. They must never purchase a halfpenny news paper or spend a penny to buy a ticket for a popular concert. They must write no letters to absent children, for they cannot afford to pay the postage. They must never contribute an thing to their cnurch or chapel, or give any help to a neighbor which costs them money. They cannot save, nor can they Join alrk club or trade union, because they cannot pay the neces sary subscriptions. The children munt have no pocket money fur dolls, marbles or sweets. The father must smoke no tobacco and muKt drink no beer. The mother muht never buy any pretty clothes for herself or for her children. Should a child fall 111 it must be attended by the pariah doctor; should it die. It must be burled by the parish. If sny of these conditions are broken lh satrft axpeudltura Icvulvsd bj met, and can only be met, by limiting the diet; or, In other nurds, by sacrificing physical efficiency. In such a pitiful state nearly one-fourtb of the British population Is existing or try ing to exist. Can conditions so sinister to national progress be permitted to endure? The church, the state, private philanthropy, have done much and failed. Can science provide a remedy? At any rate, It should try. Mr. Roberts offers no detailed program. His suggestions are these: Beginnings might be made In the direr lion of the grouping of the fm ts relating to the feeding of i lilldreu; the pr ad of kii'iwli dg' relating to Jhe wl-e selei'tlnn I and cooking of the cheapen! foodstuffs; the possibility of the forma lion of labor schools such as are being Introduced Into tier many: the qutslioii of the abolition of un skilled lab Ureal ucuuragemeut should also br- given to the study of political ecoun.ny, Hnj .Speclally to that branch of t which seeks to discover the laws relat Ing to the distribution of wealth These are mere Indications of some of the direc tions which scientific Irouliy should take Pcrhips they are not the most urg-nt but of one thing I am sure, and that Is the vlt.il necrsH ty of concentrating upon ho effort to roll.ct material facts and to dls- rearnorner.relUt"'n l ,h'r d The study of political economy may seem a little less fruitful to many of us than it seems to Mr. Roberts -New York Sun.
