A Good Samaritan.
(From Harper's Weekly.)
A Southern writer tells this story of a
negro preacher's version of the parable
of the Good Samaritan: There was a
traveler on a lonely road said the preach
er who waa set upon by thieves robbed
and left wounded and helplensby the
wayside. As he lay there various per-
sons prtssed him but none offered to as.
slst . him. Presently however a poor
Samaritan came by and taking pity ot"
the wounded mnn's plight helped him' on
his mule and tnok him to an Inn where
he ordered food and drink and raiment
for the man. "And dls am a true story
breth'ren." concluded the preacher; "for

J HOUSTON BOY HONORED
The many friends of Mr. Harris Maa-
terson. Jr. of this city. Who ha Just
graduated with high honors from tha
University of the South at Bewanee
Tenn. are justly proud of the distinction
conferred by reason of tola being awarded
the medal in oratory and receiving the
high privilege of selection to deliver the
class oration at commencements
For the honor there trer contestants
from about every State In the Union and
the decision reached was7 upon merit
alone.
He Is the nromlslna sod of Judas and
Mrs. Maaterson of this city with whom
ne now is naving just returned from ma
university labors and enjoying a brief
rest ortor to assuminr hla chosen sphere
of activity In life.
The address of young Mr. Maaterson is
so meritorious that The Post accords It
space In full In Us columns. He said:
Biandina on the bridge or a great
ocean steamer recently we looked down
upon hundreds or upturned races mere
were peoples of every nation language
Snd religion Germans Russians. Italian
yrians. Jews. Borne with hope-crushed
lacea some witn tne suniignt just oegin-
nlng to beam; all were looking slightly
upward out over the boundless sea. A1J
were searching for a black spot in the
Burpled distance. At lust they see it.
lowly It looms up slowly It grows until
the very hoiison seems built upon and a
great city Ilea spread berore them. Tha
Hags fly. Only a moment the great throb-
bing ship Ilea still before the emblem of
all tha L the nation holda near the Statue
of Mbefty.
"These people too long suppressed
raise on high their cry of Joy lur surely
somewhere in that great land Is a free
home for them. Two weeks ufier what
have they found? Surely freedom- of
light sir and water. No no only free-
dom of Ideas bred in germs: only squalor
to enrich some Croesus; only lust to
gratify the public octopus. The thous-
ands for defense of our early days are
changed Into millions of tribute to a cor-
rupt political machine.
PROBLEMS THAT CONFRONT.
"So rapid has been the growth of our
great centers and so keenly have the live
senses of the landlords been pointed to
the formation of the sixth and only sense
money grabbing that the supply of
houses for the poor has lagged far behind
the demand and where this is true the
unscrupulous landlords can demand from
15 to 1 per cent on their investment or
300000 windowless rooms in New York
City. That this extortion should be givMu.
such unrestrained license is evident when
a Mr. White a New kork financier at 7
per cent on hla investment can give
homes to thousands and save thousands
of lives.
"Let us. Mr. Rlis says "turn from the
worship of the golden calf to the golden
rule.' As an evidence that this has been
done In a small measure in live years
reform has saved enough lives In Greater
New York to people a large city There
Is material there for a score of such
cities. The Investment Is sure if we only
have the
" Type of the wise who soar but never
roam
. True to the kindred points of Heaven
and home.'
"On the other hand rob them of re-
sources of mind and heart mat hiuko
them respond to the robins and daisies
appeal give them the gutter and the
salon. Increase Indeed our criminal
clajis our tribe of anarchists and
prosper thou our republic. Shall
these Ideas of citizenship mint them-
selves upon our people? To quote
him again the prophet and reform-
er of the slums: 'Unless the home is h
saving influence In the lad's life the door
has been opened for all that Is bad.'
"What right have we to sin against child-
hood and cheat the world of its tomor-
row f . .
THE EMANCIPATED WOMAN.
" "Another element In our National life
which threatens the stability of the homo
is the so-called -emancipated woman. The
woman who engages In man's work. A
well known writer say: 'Woman labor
as an economic element Is as abnormal
as convict labor-and it is equally as
pernicious for the reason that legitimate
labor Is taxed for Us support.' buuuutea
show that the S.uOu.OuO working women in
America average omy 1 per day and as
women are a aariable element in labor
because few or them remain In the some
JTofeaston after marriage they can be
orced to work as unskilled labor for less
than man.' Hence men s waaeu are low-
ered and so women lessen efuclency of
production.
"The Massachusetts bureau of labor sta-
tistics like the salubrity of France la
advocating limiting women to certain
Frofesslons. to keep their health and the
uture welfare of the race from being
permanently Injured. Training for these
occupations unfit her for the family if
husband and wife both work away from
the home the living expenses Are equal
to the sum of the man s earnings; and
the profensloiml woman too often goes
on the principle that what Is hrr hus-
band's Is hers and what is her s Is her
own. There Is too much making homo
a limited co-operative boarding house.
Better fur better for a famtly to suffer
want than to entail upon the man the
degradation of character imposed upon
him when he becomes dependent upon
a woman's earnings for where woman
takes the labor of support the man takes
the shame of Idleness. Nature designed
"woman for wifehood and motherhood
and all the education can not change the
master plan. God endowed her to give
health good morals and the beautiful In
art and religion to the home and only
the devil would pervert her.
THE IDLE RICH.
"A still further menace to the Integrity
of the American home Is the idle rich
of the fungus species. Surfeited with
money they soon become satiated with
everything else. For often the woman
of such a home craves for expression
and gathers around her useless life a
crowd of sycophants 'the man long
since dependent upon vice or amuse-
ment. The Korld in all Us beauty tne
earth resplendent in all Its jewei-d gar-
ments of pied meadow and cloud-flecked
sky is a sealed book to their dull nd
blinded vision. Even man the crown
and glory of creation to them is but
dust and endless nothingness. This class
of pleasure-loving devotees with Us dan-
gerous women and their Idle and money-
enslaved husbands are more perilous
than all the anarchistic operators of Put-
ernon. N. J. The nightmare profusion
of their contorted lives makes them crave
anything under God's bright sun for a
new sensation; hence much of the poor
art and bad literature. They go from
Dan to Bersheeha and see nothing feel
nothing do nothing.
"When every other sensation has failed
they resale their boredom in the lutest
scandal of the divorce court. What be-
comes of the orphans of the divorced?
Where are their homes who are their
parents? The slaughter of the Innocents
In this day Is more terrible than Herod's
bloody carnage In Bethlehem of the
olden time. Herod Indeed butcherea
their bodies but the modern Herod is
destroying . both soul and body in hell.
Is this the Spartan mother girding on
her son's armor to flKht their country's
battles;' sre those the Hebrew fathers
leading their sons Into the realization
of their birthright? Thnt this Is far
from being an exaggerated statement
of the Mfe of a class your ultra-fashinn-'nble
rich and their train of light-headed
followers becomes apparent If we con-
sult the records of our divorce courts.
GROWTH OF DIVORCE. '
"Divorce In- the past twenty years In
the ' United 8tates has Increased three
times as fast as the population from
J5.S36 divorced persons In 1896 to 6llt for
the year 1901 an Increase of 7 or 8 per
cent 'Make a solitude and. call it home.' )
Is this the ramtiy. tne archtype of the
state the palladium of liberty the crown
of religion? Without it no government
4s stable; no people have ever attained
to a high degree of civilisation. For
the solidity and health of the social body
depends upon the soundness or Its unit.
That unit Is the family. As Mr. Glad-
stone has said that the future of Amer-
ica Is of greater Importance to Christen-
dom than that of any other country;
that that future In Its highest features
vitally depends upon the Incidents of
marriage and -that no .country has ever
been so directly challenged as America
now Is to choose between one or more
than ene ol the very greatest of those
