Boost the Guest House. If there is anything about which the modern progressive person feels certain it is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The old notion that it suffices to pick up the pieces after the wreck has occurred has been consigned to limbo. Remedies are good things but prevention is better. To build a hospital at the foot of a cliff to take care of the unfortunates who tumble over is a humanitarian thing to do, but a much wiser step is to build a fence along the top to prevent their falling off.

The Guest House, which the women of Richmond are promoting with sueh self-sacrifice and

enthusiasm, is a preventive agency. It is not to be a place where wrecked women are put once more on their feet, but a place which will help them avoid being wrecked.

As things now are, too many working women and girls in the city are left without protection against the very dangers that are most fatal and least familiar. The girl who comes into the city from a country home seeking necessary work craves companionship and amusement and needs counsel. But where will she get such things? From the woman who runs her boarding house? Not often. In her dismal, chilly room, which constitutes her home? Hardly. As a rule she is driven to the streets to find companionship; she is forced among strangers in search for amusement, which is as necessary to her as food; and she seldom finds anybody among her associates with whom she can confer or from whom she can receive counsel worth the breath with which it is uttered. It is to supply these things which the individual girl is so often unable to supply herself that the Guest House is to be built. The ladies who are working so hard for it don't dream of settling all these problems offhand and at once, but they are determined to settle them and in the wisest and surest manner. Therefore, don't turn a deaf ear to them when they approach you for a subscription. You may have heard a lot of things about the Guest House which have turned you against it. If so, listen first to what the women have to tell you before turning them away. The chances are that you have not heard the truth about it. And the chances are that if you have heard the truth you will "do your darndest for them" (as the girl in "The Lady of the Decoration" says) and give a boost to one of the noblest moves ever undertaken in the city.

Jobless Men. The experts who gathered at New York City last Friday and Saturday in the first National Conference of Unemployment found a considerable task on their hands. The aim of their deliberations was to decide on some method for coping with the problem of unemployment, which is rapidly reaching an acute stage in this country. A short time ago a young factory girl headed fi long parade of unemployed girls and women in a march to Cooper Union Hall, where a mass meeting was held in order to call the attention of the city officials to the desperate situation in which these working women found themselves. While they were inside the famous old hall pouring out their woes and denouncing the conditions which would make such an affair necessary, moi-e than three hundred thousand men and women were outside the hall scattered through t ho great noisy city hunting for work, but un

ship to find it. More than twice as many have applied to municipal lodging houses this year as last, and of all the persons seeking a place through the public employment offices only one job has been found for every five applicants. One organization discovered, after making some investigations through the newspaper offices, that twenty-four thousand people had responded to eight hundred want ads in the New York papers in one day. And in the state at large, it is estimated that of all persons willing and able to work, 16.1 per cent are unable to find jobs. It was around Christmas time that Chicago found on her hands a hundred thousand men and women seeking work for whom no work could be had. At about the same time, a long parade of unemployed men marched to the city hall in St. Louis demanding work. Out in San Francisco twenty thousand unemployed men were parading and marching about demanding the right to work and declaring that nothing except stealing was standing between them and starvation. Philadelphia authorities number their unemployed at seventy-five thousand during this present month. In Los Angeles thirty-five thousand are idle ; in Newark, N. J., twenty-five thousand, while in Chattanooga, Tenn., over one thousand high-grade workers are unable to find positions. When Ford began his profit-sharing scheme in his automobile factory at Detroit, his plant was mobbed by ten thousand unemployed men seeking jobs. According to the United States census, one in every foar working persons is thrown out of

work every year daring a period of not less than one month. Conditions are much worse than in 1900, but at that time, according to the census, six and one-half million working people were unemployed some time during the year. Of these more than three million lose from one to three months' work each. Two and one-half million are out of a job from four to six months each per year,

while three-quarters of a million can not find work during seven or more months out of the twelve. On the basis that the average is $10

per week, this means a loss to the working class j

per year of approximately $1,000,000,000. The census for 1910 has not yet been published, but it is certain it will reveal conditions far worse than this, because unemployment has now reached an acuter stage than it had then. It is this condition, here so briefly suggested, with which the American Association of Labor Legislation has been dealing in its national conference. Experience during the last ten years has proved that local employment agencies in the cities are not competent, singly or as a whole, to handle the unemployed problem. This is an issue national in scope and altogether outside of the reach of municipal efforts. Republican newspapers over the country, it need not be said, are placing the blame for this condition on the shoulders of the Democratic party. Letting down the tariff bars, stirring up prejudice against big business, crippling the railroads, and dozens of other similar reasons are

pushed forward to account for the presence of this huge army of unemployed working people. The political memory is proverbially short, and these Republican editors have altogether forgotten that this army is a standing army which marched, protested, starved, froze, fought or died during the Republican administration just as now. The Democrats, on the other hand, under the leadership of President Wilson, argue that the situation has been exaggerated for political reasons. "All these stories," they say, "are overcolored in order to cast reflection on the Demoprat.ic nrlminictvntinn "

as that of Anatole France nor as easy to follow as that of Matthew Arnold. He never had it in him to develop the breadth of appeal of a Tolstoi, Balzac or Victor Hugo. He was not an Olympic. Nevertheless, there have been few men in literature so widely read, so irresistibly attractive and so heartily loved as the author of "Treas

ure Island." Stevenson's books are not literary documents, they are human documents, and one reads them and re-reads them just as he will con over for the tenth or eleventh time the letters of some old friend. There shines through all his books the wonderful unexplained mystery of personality. In life, all who met him loved him, and the fragrance of his presence was such that he drew all men to him. Perhaps the richest thing in his personality was the depth and intensity of his own individual experience. To whatever duty he responded, to whatever occasion he yielded himself, he gave his whole being so that he possessed a cosmopolitan heart if not a cosmopolitan mind. It was the richness of his personal- experience that enabled him to appeal to so many different classes. He has something for everybody. The children learn his childhood poems by heart. Boys and girls in their teens read his thrilling stories of adventure. Serious and reflective minds find never-diminished delight in his essays and criticisms. Perhaps the central thing in his life was the discovery he made that sorrows, losses and tragedies in any human existence are not fatal to human happiness. He wrestled for years with "old bloody Jack," as he familiarly dubbed the tuberculosis that finally killed him, but during those years, when he was often unable to think through excess of pain, he always presented to the world his "happy morning face" and taught his fellows that happiness is not an accident, but a duty. Stevenson has received so cordial a reception at the hands of his critics, he has won for himself so permanent a place in the literary world, that he has come to seem almost a classic. He has taken his place among the immortals. It is because of this, perhaps, that the death of his wife a few days ago in California came as somewhat of a surprise to his readers. They awakened with a startle to realize that by rights he belongs to the present generation and that he might still be with us had not the white plague carried him off in the morning of his powers. Unlike so many literary geniuses, Stevenson had a genuine affection for his wife. The story of their relationship is as charming and as fragrant as any story born in his own imagination.
