City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA. APRIL 19. 1915.
THE EXPENSE OF CHARITY
The New York American, comment
ing on the work of organized charities,
voices the statement that not more
than twenty per cent of the money
raised by public contributions fur char
itable purposes is devoted to the actual
duty intended by the donors In other
words, only one-fifth of the total
amount contributed reaches those who
are in need and the remaining four
fifths is ultimately eaten up h> the
burdensome expense of distribution
While this statement may seem an
exaggeration it is readily confirmed
through the reports issued at intervals
by ths various charitable associations
and societies themselves. In the large
cities of America the matter of distri
buting alms is in the hands of people
whose primary idea is that business
methods are the first requities to
charity. As a consequence the whole
matter of relieving the wants of the
poor becomes secondary to the method
pursued, which, in the majority of
cases, is so involved in red tape and
requires, in addition to an extensive
board of directors, a series of district
overseers, managers, investigating of
ficers and clerical forces of such di
mensions that one is really forced to
wonder that even the pitiable fifth men
tioned ultimately finds its way to the
unfortunate destitute
Also, considering the vast deni of
“investigating” and “reporting” re
quired before the ponderous charity
machine can act, it is verily a wonder
that the poor are able to survive pend
ing the doleing out of such pittance aa
must be necessary to the end that the
twenty per cent mentioned will suffice
to meet the demand. While there is no
gainsaying the good intent of the char
itably inclined ones who voluntarily
and without compensation assume tlie
duties of directing the distribution of
charitable contributions, it is decidedly
apparent that the wishes of those who
give of their plenty to relieve the suf
fering of the unfortunate and distressed
are not being entirely met under a dis
tributing method which requires eighty
cents in order to adequately disburse
twenty. There is clearly something
wrong with such a system and we are
convinced that no small portion of the
fault lies with the people who habit
ually donate money for charitable pur
poses. The larger portion of those
who are numbered among the regular
contributors to charitable associations
are rarely interested in the final dis
posal of the fund to which they con
tribute beyond that it be directed in a
general way to relieving the wants of
the unfortunate and the means or me
thods employed to that end are seldom
]'considered. In making the donation
' the Individual usually considers thnt he
; has done his full duty to suffering hu
manity and the further question of how
* much of his money reaches the desired
end enters not into his calculations He
has given to (he poor. thereby by
acquitting himself of further responsi
bility and is usually content to let the
I matter res( there without bothering
j himself further about the ways or
means of distribution. While the
kindly spirit animating such givers
cannot he questioned it would seem
that it Is none the less a somewhat
dubious charitnhility. The mere hand
ing over of a sum of nionev with the
expectation that it, or .some i f it. will
eventually reach the desired object, is
1 In a measure like easting a farthing
Into the street in the hope that some
needy one will find it While it is mi
mitted that few of those who are in
a position to give have the time or in
clination to personally administer their
charities, it is apparent that a trifle of
attention on (heir part as (o the man
ner of disposal would probahh have a
wholesome effect in reducing the me
thods of (he charitable associations to
simpler tines and with for hotter re
1 suits is far ns the poor are concerned

Robe did the work in 1310. the con
tract calling for $3,325 He asked for

nation of iMuef Deput> Marshal J K
Flarke on \pril first. In* heeame clerk
of the court. Joseph II. Miller has been
promoted to that position by Marshal j
Erwin. He has been an office deput\ !
for some time and is regarded h\ the j
marshal as a highly efficient officer.
That some \andal has been robbing |
laches in the Salchaket district fori
several years is the statement of Jos
Knos. who returned to Fairbanks from
the upper river recently, and who de j
dares that his cabin was looted and i
the building destroyed by fire. Enos is
much aggravated over the fact that lie
cannot leave gt>ib and property on
Redmond creek from year to year with
out having it taken from him .and is
anxious to see somebody prosecuted for
the offenses alread\ committed. In
speaking of the matter Enos said: “F«»
the last three \oars someone has made
it tiis business to enter m> cabin on
!Redmond creek and take grub and other
supplies without my permission. Think
ing that if I locked my cabin it would
put a stop to this practice. I put a
strong chain and padlock on the door,
hut twice I found that a forced en
trance had been made, and that many
things were taken Early in October l
went to ?n\ cabin again, and this time
1 found that the door had not lin n .
forced upon Thorp was n small rout I
i.f snow hi thr eround, enough to con
vines mo that there would Ik* no dancer I
from forest tires I then started on a !
lianting trip and was greatly surprised j
upon returning to find my cabin in j
ashes I sea relied through the ruins :
and the padlock and chain were in such I
condition that 1 was convinced that |
tliev had been broken by human hands. .
I was also unable to find some articles]
which could not have been destroyed by !
fire, hut was unable to do so.” He re- )
ported another cabin on the claim above)
his to have been broken into and pro
visions and other articles stolen.
According to a wire received In Fair
banks. Archdeacon Stuck had reached I
Tanana from the Koyukuk and was]
preparing to go to Tditarod. Since;
