PENSION BY STATE
Froebel Mothers UniOnPrOpOses
Kansas Protect Widows.
Pay Them So to SSfa Month for
Each Child.
SYSTEM Is. WR o n G..
Separation of Mother and Chill
dren Is DemOralfzing.
Graduate FromOrphanages Into
the Prison.
SYSTEM is. RON G.

DIR. Eva Harding, of Topeka, and the
Froebel Mothers union, are interested
in new legislative proposition for the
purpose of putting all INDECENT widows,
with children, on a pension of from S. TO
IS per month for each child
1t is claimed that under the present
system, mothers are obliged to give up
entirely the possession of their children,
without much hope of ever seeing the
child, or even knowing where it is. The
state asylum for orphans has about 200
inmates. The law gives the officers of
this institution the right to consent to
the absolute adoption of any of the in
mates, and to prevent trouble, the
mother of the child is not allowed to
know where that child is after it has
been adopted.
DR.. Harding says:
zone of the chief objections which
was urged against human slavery was
that mothers We're separated from their
children, and not allowed to see them.
Under the law as it now stands, Kan
sas Furnishes mothers for being poor
and unable to support their children.
The state should rather see to it that
q mother is aided to rear her children.
The criminals are made out of chill
dren whose mothers are obliged to work,
so nara that there is no time Tor home
life. If a child is sent to some orphan
asylum, it is only a question of time
when that child will graduate into the
reform school or penitentiary.
THE actual cost to the state for each
child In the orphans asylum is about
IS a month. 1 am in favor of a bill
which Will authorize some commission
TO receive applications for aid from poor
widows. This commission would then
determine the merits of the case, and if
it was deemed worthy, the pension of
IS per month for each child should be
paid direct to the mother, instead of
being paid out through some ihstitu-
ton. Institution life is bad at the very
best, and it is far from being at its best
here in Kansas.
LAS a complement to this act. the
legislature should pass another making
it a felony for a man to desert his
wife and children. That is the kind
of law they have in some states. and
it should be in force here :.
IF we are unable to get through a
law pensioning the widows, the legis-
lature should at least repeal the in
iquitous portions of the present law,
which allow the orphans asylum to
Internationally give their consent to
the adoption of any child left in its
charge. This is a terrible law. A poor
mother has no place in which to leave
her children while she is trying to pro-
vide a place for them to live, and ade-
Quate means of support. If she gives
her children to an asylum, the chances
are that she will never see them again
as long as she lives. 1 don't see how
the people of Kansas stand SUCH a
cruel law.
The chief difficulty to DR.. Harding's

plan for pensioning all deserving wild
ows with children is that it would
bankrupt the state if carried out to
the full extent If there are 1000
widows in Topeka, and they average
two children apiece, this would make
about $4,000 a month, at least, in
Topeka. alone. The amount which
would be paid aOut1throughou out the
state, at the same ratio. would run up
into the millions. 1t is highly prob
able that the legislature would be un-
able to see where the money for the
scheme would come from. But it
wouldn't cost anything to ,change the
existing orphans home law, if that is
wrong.
Justice E. w. Cunningham of the
supreme court, has announced his in
tention of resigning the superintend-
ency of the First Methodist church
Sunday school at Emporia. where he
has been superintendent for So years.
The Emporia Gazette says:
Judge Cunningham is in Topeka
much of the time. on account of his
duties one of the judges of the SUI
preme court. He usually comes home
on Sunday. For the past 35 years he
has been regular in attendance at Sun
day school. But because he has so short
time at home it places an arduous
duty on him to attend Sunday school
every Sunday. Mrs. Cunningham tot
in good health, and all things consider
ed Mr.. Cunningham, much to the re-
gret of the Methodist people, thinks the
time has come for him to retire from
active Sunday school work
Judge Cunningham holds the record
for continuous service as superintend-
ent among Sunday school workers in
Kansas. He has been elected each year
for IS years and it has been a standing
custom with the Methodists to renomi-
nate Judge Cunningham for superin-
tendent from year to year, with no
thought of opposition
Down in Woodson county the people are
talking of exacting a promise from their
senator and representative to support a
county herd law for Woodson county. The
newspapers have taken the matter up and
communications on the subject are being
published for the enlightenment of the
representative and Senator-elect.
H C. Dooley refuses to attend the Kan
sas Day club banquet this year because
w. T. Ve:lon. the cilored man, has been
invited to speak. Mr.. Dooley admits that
Vernon will make fine speech, but he
says that whenever Vernon talks any
where it has tendency to raise the price
of negro votes. He is opposed to Vernon
because Vernon's influence is a drain on
the Republican cGmI~isn treasury.
