The Great Widow Syndicate

This story started out to be pathetic,
but just as everybody involved was
beginning to sob softly in his handker-
chief and the orchestra was playing
that lovely tur-r-r-r-r music in minor
key. up rose the heavy villain in the
guise of a scientist and discovered so
many microbes and bacilli in the plot
that it was turned into tragic farce,
with the joke on Mayor Harrison.
One morning there appeared in the
bundle of mail addressed to his honor
the mayor a letter written on a torn
sheet of paper in a labored and pain
full hand. In simple language the letter
set forth that its writer was widow of
some years standing, with large and
presumable interesting family of child
rem dependent on her for support Her
husband had left her without a bit of
property and she had had hard strug
gle to keep bread and butter in the
house and something better than rags
on the gaunt bodies of her little ones.
She was the proprietor of little store
with a tiny stock of lead pencils, chew
ing gum, plug tobacco. and other deli
cacies for sale, but she was hardly able
in this way to met her expenses. But
she had had an idea If she could add
milk and cream to her stock in trade
she was certain that fortune would
smile upon her and that she would have
no trouble in paying her bills and bring
ing up her children to be credit to the
community and members in good stand
Democracy which will support the
mayor when he runs for reelection IN
1916 The only thing which stood be :
tween her and the realization of her
plan was the paltry sum of $40 license
fee which the city charges those who
wish to deal in the products of the
cow If the mayor would kindly give
her a free milk license. remitting the
charge of SO. he would make her the
happiest of women
When Ernest McGaffey, the mayor
private secretary, read this letter he
laid it aside in the little pile intended
for the mayors private eye. Being a
poet. and therefore a man of tender
sensibilities it is possible that a tear
glittered in his eye as he read the
touching appeal of the widow. At any
rate, he sent it in to the mayors pri-
vate office. where 1t Immediately re-
| ceived official attention
"She's a poor widow" said the mayor.

KELLY AS a REFoRMER.
How He and F. Dumont Smith De-
feated Francis Amendment

The following from the Atchison
Globe should be read by every voter:
Tom Kelly is not only a Good Man,
but a Reformer. He is out with a
statement that he is in favor of a state
depository. and says the Francis bill
was not supported in good faith. He
says in an interview: IT kept my
hands off. Tney never intended to
pass the bill, and never reported it
from committee on which they had
ma ority."
This statement is unqualifiedly false,
and Kelly knows it. The bill referred
to was house bill No. COL. and on Feb
ruary 90 1903 (house journal, page
96D, it passed the house by unanimous
to the senate The senate Ounder the
control of Kelly would not act on it.
Thereafter it was adopted as an amend
ment to the tax bill. by the unanimous
vote of joint committee of the house
and senate and was suppressed by
State Senator F. Dumont Smith.
Again, on February 81, 1908, the house,
journal, page 1889 passed house bill
No. 232. which provided for the deposit
of all state funds. and on March II.
1903 it was sent to the senate (See sem
ate journal. page 110D and it was
never thereafter heard of in the senate.
Each of these bills were passed by the
house, in compliance with the recon-
mendations of Governor Bailey, and
were snuffed out in the senate by the
Governor Bailey. Still, Kelly will be
accepted as Reformer, and people will
wonder why Governor Bailey and the
legislature didn't Do Something.

MONTEZUMA.
Objection to the Name Proposed for
New Mexico and Arizona.

Heaven defend us from the creation
of a state of Montezuma! With the
comparative merits of the two-state
proposition, the four-state proposition
and the no-state proposition we are not
now concerned. This is an article on
nomenclature. 1t is said in Washing
ton that a twO-State project is again
talked of, and that the people of Ari-
IONA are to be forced unwillingly into
a state called Montezuma by submit
ting an enabling act for union with
New Mexico to the combined popula
lions of the two territories. 1t is calcu-
main territory than accept such state
hood, but by this little game of bunco
they are to be permitted to be a minor
ity in voting themselves on a general
ballot of both constituencies into the
union. The morality of that scheme
might at another time arouse our in
terest, but we are too deeply impressed
by the horror of Montezuma to be
moved by any such minor matter! Bet
ter to dwell in a perpetual state of
slavery than be pitchforked into
state of Montezumal
Who was Montezuma, that a SOW
ereign state of the American Union
should bear his name? What associa-
ton has he with the land to be ad-
mitted? MOnteZuma is the more or
mythical Indian chief who at the time
of the Spanish conquest dwelt about a
thousand miles from the territory in
question, and probably never saw or
heard of it. He was not a great war
rior or statesman, but appears to have
been an amiable weakling whose mis-
fortunes cast about him q halo of SEN
timentality. 1t would be about as APP
propriate to call the proposed state af-
ter the last Incas, Pocahontas, Tous-
saint L'Ouverture or the legendary
Tammany. Representatives picking out
such name suggests romantic moth
er calling her child for the heroine of
the last novel she wept over.
If these two territories are to be COM
bined there are already two good names
available. Arizona is euDhoniOus and
firmly fixed to one part of the soil. De
scriptively and historically New Mexico
is even better, and the only reason for
abandoning it would be the jealousy OF
Arizonians New Mexico has been the
name known the world over for that
region for four centuries. 1t has been in
every geography since the arrival of the
Spaniards. 1t is as thoroughly natural
lied as Florida or Louisiana or Texas
or California 1t is older than Massa-
chusetts or Virginia 1t is no more I'M
American than the names of any of the
other territories which have come down
to us from Spain bringing their titles
with them, and no more a servile imita-
ton than New York or New Jersey OF
New Hampshire. The name should ruT
with the land. 1t is of historic import
ance. Wantonly to blot it from the
map to replace it with some stupid new
| invention would be a piece of verba

vend milk were distributed among them
after what appeared to be proper off
cial investigation and with due regard
for the proprieties.
Altogether more than twenty widows
with large families had been started on
the road to happiness and there was
still no suspicion that this tale would
ever be anything more than a record of
tender official hearts and widowly graft
tude. If it had been written at that
stage the proper title for the article
would have been The Touching Side
of Politics.
Then, one day, a person came up TO
the municipal laboratory with a sa1nple
of milk which he wanted tested rTtbo

associating too intimately with a nv
drant. Investigation showed that the
milk had been sold by one of the rooS
WIDOWS with assorted children y1 T1t

tigation revealed the name of fbo
wholesale dealer who had sold the milk
buked.

be tested. 1t was also watered Mill

toiled for their own support and Thai

OF milk from the same man ana fha3
of course, therefore, the milk thew sold
was all poor milk and unsaIa BILE under
the ordinances.
Further and more careful search re-
vealed that the wholesale dealer in
question, finding that the dealers al
ready established would not buy his
poor and low class milk had gone de.
liberately about starting all the widows
who kept little stores into the milk bfIs-
mess. AS an inducement to them he
suggested the plan of applying for free
milk licenses, and as fast as these free
licenses were issued he supplied them
with the necessary utensils for hand
ling the trade.
With this information at hand it was.
of course, necessary to put the svndi-
cate of widows out of business. which
was a sad climax to what started as
such a beautiful example of officiaI
tenderness of heart.-Chicago Tribune.
