‘There Was Never a Better Time to See Your Own Coun
try, and the Most Beautiful Exposition of All History.
Again we urge our readers to make their plans for a trip
to San Francisco NOW if they can possibly manage it.
’ There never was a better year for seeing your own country.
The railroad rates are lower than they will be for many
years, undoubtedly. ;
The people of SBan Francisco and of the whole western coast
have organized, not for selfish profit, but for the benefit of the
travelers.
Hotel rates in the best hotels of California are far lower than
in the East. Merchants and newspapers have organized a boy
cott for any hotel that should increase rates or in any way dis
courage the traveler. And no one has dared to run the risk of
that boycott.
. You can live in SBan Francisco, while you study the Exposi
tion, and the wonderful Western land, and the great Pacific
Ocean, much more cheaply than you can live in any first-class or
wecond-class Eastern or Middle Western city.
* Tltis not necessary to repeat that the Panama Exposition is
by far the most beautiful, the most interesting and extraordinary
that the world has ever seen.
~ And this marvelous Exposition, which alone would reward
“you for a long journey if you went through a tunnel all the way,,
is only the crowning reward of a trip across your own country,
the land of wonders.
. Go, and if you have children, take them with you. Follow
the sun in his journey toward the West.
_ You mean to see the United States ‘‘SOME TIME.”' Let it
be THIS TIME. Go now, and remember that every dollar in
wvested in travel is a dollar invested IN EDUCATION.
The trip across this Continent is worth a year of life in any
other kind of study. You cannot imagine what you have not
seen. You cannot imagine what a marvelous country it is that
you and your fellow citizens own, until you have SEEN it.

cisco. When her husband objected, she said:
‘I am not going to allow my daughter to grow up with the
idea that the United States is bounded on the south by the brick
yard and on the north by Bulger's Oreek.’’
-~ Thousands of paremts complain that their children are ‘‘nar.

THE HOME PAPER
Wholesome but Very
Impractical Plan to
End Big War Is Urged
;Humanitarian Cult, One of Most Unselfish
| of New York’s Many Societies, Would
| Have Rulers Stop Fighting and Use Money
| to Aid Sufferers by Strife.
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
EW YORK is full of socie-
N ties of all kinds formed for
the benefit of the unem
ployed and-the poor. Among the
most interesting is the Humani
tarian Cult of Néw York City.
This society has no dues and no
by-laws; it does not accept con
tributions of any kind.
It has relieved since last No
vember, when it was organized,
588 families, found employment
for 115 men and women; taken
care of ten dispossess cases by
paying rent, provided medical
treatment for 57 cases; furnish
ed nurses, wearing apparel, etc.;
in_each instance given relief (en
the average) twelve hours from
time of receipt of application.
The founder is M. E. Apple
baum, who says in his prospec
tus: “We claim that all people
are deserving. We must help
those who have bad habits to
.change them and thereby regain
their self-respect. We have not
collected any money and don't
intend to! We do not preach
nor find fault. All we maintain is
that human nature is beautiful
and responds readily to love and
kindness, and the record of our
work justifies our faith in fellow
man,
“Our meetings and concerts
are free. No collections or con
tributions permitted. It you
Come once we will guarantee your
further visits.”
The Humanitarian Cult recent
ly made the following suggestion
to the Legislature against capl
tal punishment:
“All religions distinctly pro
hibit the killing of man and do
not permit the taking of life,
even by law. Since law is made
by man, and man admits God to
be the Supreme Power he can
not justify the killing of man by
any process
“We therefore ask that you use
every endeavor to do away with
capital punishment.
“We furthermore suggest. that
proper laws be enacted so that
prisoners of all descriptions
should be compelied to work;
that the prisoners receive regu
lar allowances, to be disposed of
in the following manner:
* “Part of the allowance to be
used for the support of those, if
any, dependent upon them; part
of the allowance to go to the
State for the betterment of pris
on system. and the balance to be
held to the credit of the prisoner,
80 that when released he can once
more face the world with some
means. Very often on account of
lack of means the prisoner reverts

is a known fact that the public
at large has an aversion to em
ploying a man out of prison, and
therefore he has not the proper
opportunity of earning a livell
hood.”
On February 11 the Humani
tarian Cult, composed of men
and women of almost every na
tionality, sent the following ca
blegram: .
“To the Rulers of the Countries
at War:
“The present war caused and
will cause tremiendous loss 'of
life, the maiming and erippling
of good and strong men, the
breaking up of homes, and will
produce great misery for years
to come, the burden of which will
fall mostly on women. It will
also mean that the next genera
tion will physically be a set of
weaklings.
“The religions practiced in the
respective countries distinctly
prohibit the killing of man. You
admit that Ged is Supreme Pow
er, and yet you have placed your
own will and judgment above
His. If you desire to still leave
in man a spark of faith in higher
ideals, you will listen to this ap
peal of true humanitarians, which
is being echoed by your own
countrymen,
“We therefore ask, in the name
of all that is fair, just and beau
titul, and consequently holy, that
you submerge your pride and stop
the combat™ immediately, The
first amongst you to take this
step will prove to the world the
understanding of true patriotism.
“You are ralsing bilons for the
purpose of destroying your neigh
bors. If you will but stop the
war and apply a small percentage
of this toward relieving those who
are sufferthg through your aoc
tions, and {f you will, in addition
ta stopping the combat, dlsarm
and place the relics of war in
the public galleries as a symbol
of past ignorance, you will have
shown the world true wisdom,
and then your flags will be re
spected because they represent
Peac and not false patriotism.”
While this idea is wholesome
and expresses the feeling of the
whole world not engagea actively
in this war, it is about as prac
tical and useful as the shooting
of perfume through an atomizer
against a strong northeast wind
blowing in odors from a glus
factory. Higher powers than man
knows of are controlling this
world calamity. Not wuntl]l the
purpose for which the world
calamity was sent is achieved
will the war stop.
