The Only Way to Save the Day-— 
by Horace C. CaruisLe 
We don’t promote prosperity 
When we discourage thrift— 
We don’t by weakening the strong 
Give to the weak a lift. 
We've never yet helped small men up 
By tearing big men down— 
It does not help the poor to break 
The rich in any town. 
We can’t keep out of trouble if 
We spend all our income— 
We can’t secure world brotherhood 
By stirring strife at home. 
We can’t have sound security 
On money that’s a loan— 
We can’t in men build character 
If we’ve none of our own. 
We can’t give courage, yet destroy 
Men’s independence—nor 
Can anything but hone for peace 
Make sane men turn to wat. 
We can’t help men by helping them 
To feed from public shelves— 
The only way to help men is 
To help them help themselves. 
Verse written by a government employee in the office 
of the Architect of the Capitol, was read into the 
Congressional Record of July 5, 1943, by the Hon- 
orable Pete Jarman of Alabama.—Kasco MILLS, INC.
