THLMAN AGAIN.
Asks Questions OF Morgan In the senate
and Gets II Reply

Washington. May S.--Scnator Tillman
was heard from early and polntedly IN
the senate today, after an absence Of
many weeks, and, as usual. his rem arGs
served to arouse n lively controversy,
II occurred during the consideration of
the free homestead" bill. Morgan had
proposed an amendment, giving all
public lands. unless occupied by 1900, to
the several states and territories.
Hawley declared this to be a startling
proposition, and Tillman sought to op-
pose Il by series OF questions ad-
dressed TO Morgan. Some OF the ques-
tions referred to the amendment as a
"gobble" and steal" Of public lands.
Morgan In turn made a sharp and
sarcastic rejolnder and for the time the
spectators were interested In the ami
mated cross-fire. After Morgan had
protested against the interruption as
breach of the privileges of the senate,
the incident was closed by statement
from Tillman disclaiming any purpose
of being dlscourteous to the Alabama
senator. Morgans amendment was
withdrawn and an agreement reached
for a vote ON the bill tomorrow.

MOTHERS GREATEST NEEDS

realize in working with children what
some OF the needs OF a mother are. The
first thing for mother is to realize wha
homes means TO her child. Home life
should he made harmonious s far as pos
sible. There is no need of women having
an organized life of their own. the same
organization we would find in a plant
where the blossoms gradually unfold one
after another. Father, mother, and child
should keep on growing and not keep in
the same old ruts. We can not over
estimate the value OF home life. In the
kindergarten we have an organized plan
Mothers would find it so much easier il
they had plan for the child, something
that they could fit to the child as it
grows. Another need, and If possible more
important that any other, is sympathetic
cooperation from the husband. There is
a great need or living sympathetically with
children. Many live for their children who
are in reality never a day with them.
Many mothers are too dignified to sit
down on the floor and play with them.
One mother actual Y sentto my kindergarten
and said that her child must DOT sit upon
the floor because it might grow up to be
undignified. We don't need to gek down
with the children, we need TO look u2 TO
them. A mother should so live as to Ne

should do as Mrs. Booth has said. love
