little ones were criminals, they could

possible, in hundreds of homes, for
a family to invest in life insurance

EDITORIAL NOTE.

1t may interest all who read the
foregoing pathetic letter that Aus
tralia has already legislated on behalf
Of the widow who is left without the
means to care for her children. The
government simply pensions her, thus
enabling her to rear her children to-
gether and at home. The unspeak-
able cruelty of separating child from
mother, of scattering brothers and
sisters among make-shift orphanages,

In this letter was much food for
thought.

that her case is not an exception, but
only a specimen Of many. Have you
thought that her condition is only one
among hundreds. Aye, thousands, all
over this broad land of ours? Women

and without means.
feel like "stumping" the whole
of America, in their behalf, when I
think on the trials and sufferings of
these poor women who are left to bat
tie for bread, and are handicapped
with babies, thereby hindering her
from making a living for herself or
them.
Shouldn It there be some provision
made for just such women?
To enable them to stay at home
with her little ones-to give them
proper care, and training, instead Of
going out to work Cf she is fortunate
enough to get work) leaving them to
the Indifferent care of relatives, or
perhaps strangers.
Should she be fortunate enough to
get work, which gives her the privi-
lege Of being with them at night
Though many do not have that,
what then? Night is the time for
sleep and rest from daily cares. So
she does not have much of chance
then.
She can not apply proper punish
ment, or correction then, for ofenses
committed during the day. She doesn't
feel like marring the very few hours
she is with them. So many mothers
have to go out to make the where
withall to live. They have to have
their children in the care of persons
who are Indifferent, or perhaps inca
pable Of caring for them in the proper
way.
The children grow up without dis
cipline-like weeds, so to speak
nothing done for them except to see
that they are fed and clothed. They
merely exist.
Now is that all that needs to be
done for children, the future citi-
zens of the State? They miss the
best Of what ought to be coming to
them, and the mother misses the
sweetest part of their life. If chill
dren don't need mothers, pray what
they need? 0, God, how they need
their mothers!
People pirate about raising children
to be desirable citizens; who can do
this so we'll as mothers?
When children are left in the care
of those who take no special interest
in them, they are more than apt to
grow Up with dispositions warped
never being taught to control their
passions with the feeling that
the world in general has treated them
with injustice. All these together is
the making of criminals.

stantlal recognition OF 1t as the best
possible place IN which to bring up
the future citizens. The poorest home,
that is presided over by good wo-
man, is better than the richest, most
deliberately equipped institution;
whereas the struggling orphanages are
too often worse than failures in the
mental, moral and physical nurturing
of their inmates. There is no more
depressing picture than the spectacle
of little ones being dependent upon
haphazard donations, for which too
often they must suffer in real self
respect by being trotted out on exhi-
bition to all sorts Of visitors.
While a child owes duty to its
parents, it is expected to fulfill every
obligation to the State; and there
fore there would be small real force
in the cry that might be raised against
such "socialistic" scheme as pen
sioning widowed mothers in this coun-
try. Upon women the State lays the
double burden of rearing as we'll as
bearing its citizens, and its soldiers
and when from legitimate, unavoid-
able poverty they are faced with that
hardest Of all problems,
their children, as we'll as training
them, their claims upon the State
would seem too just to be questioned,
Of course, Australia has had for
quite some time equal suffrage, which
may, or may not, explain its sensible
and humane view Of this particular
question. It might be we'll for some
Of our thoughtless, selfish women who
claim they have all the rights and
privileges they want, to think Of the
condition they might be in, penniless
with brood Of children to feed and
clothe and educate. Wouldn't most
Of them welcome wise provision that
let them stay at home and nurse their
babies, or look after their adventu-
rous boys and girls, instead Of driving
them into the business world to the
neglect of their children "a woman
simply can't be bread winner and
home-keeper, too), or making them
dependent upon relatives, or inStitu-
tional charity? I think they would.
Surely we all recognize that child
ought to have the joint care Of both
parents. Nature so ordained it, AMI
when it is half-orphaned tits handi-
capped just to that extent. Therefore
true regard for the welfare Of the
State, if only put on the grounds Of
economy would suggest that the lack
of a pittance be not allowed to make
the child complete orphan! Not
withstanding the heroic examples of
noble widowhood, coming down from
the past, we must recognize the fact
that industrial conditions have chang
ed and the widow who must earn her
childrens' livelihood often does so
while they are running the streets,
learning vice and crime. Formerly
the "widow woman" was shown
many substantial kindnesses from her
more prosperous neighbors-a share
of the harvest, a load of the fresh

gers extreme partisan friends inter
preted it in that way. Nevertheless, it
is great satisfaction to find now that
the latter had as companion letter -
Mr.. Pinchot in which the president duly
recognized the services of the latter

all will be glad that he gave ringing

THE "NAILING' OF COOK

81 have got Cook nailed' Pearv
proclaimed in one of those messages
which he daily sent down from Battle
Harbor while he was lingering there
with his ship. AT last he has produced
the ''nail.' Under the auspices of
the Peary club he has given to the
world his 'proofs'' that Cook never
reached the pole.
Doubtless the world has been led TO
expect something defnitc something
fl ON scientific standpoint: some posi-
five contradiction of Arctic conditions
as reported by Cook. If so it will be
disappointed Mr. Pcary brings moth
ing to bear on the subject save the
stories told by Eskimos, stories founded
on sharp questioning by members of
his own party, and for some twenty
odd years Mr.. Peary has been enga ged
in the task of proving that an Eskimo
cannot be believed; that he will find
out what you want him to say and then
say it.
The Eskimos apparently found out
just what Mr.. Peary wanted them to
say in this instance, and then said it,
But that they We're not altogether
truthful with him is shown by the fact
that they told Mr.. Whitney subsequent
ly that they did not understand tine
maps Peary showed hem. Mr. Whitney
seems, found no difficulty in believing
from what he heard from these same
Esk1mos, that Cook actually had reach
ed the pole.
Mr.. Peary's Eskimo story is good
enough until another is told. Certain.
ly Cook will not permit the matter %
rest there. Nor will the Danes. These
Eskimos who were with Cook can be
easily rounded up. Then we shall hear
the other side of their tale.
1t is not with the questioning of a
few Eskimos by Peary that the con
troversy that has started over Cook
can be settled. Are Cooks obserya-
tons wrong? Can serious flaws be
picked in his data? Those are the ma.
terial questions, and Peary has not
touched upon them.-Philadelph In

stand at the foot of the stairs leading

its influence; and, witnessing the won

development of the country in that
time, the American people will not suf
fer the leaders of any political organ

When the Monroe doctrine was new
it was understood by comparatively
few people. Prior to its declaration
the population had been very largely
under European influence, one faction
favoring the British and another the
French view of public questions. 1t
was not until the nation grew strong
enough to assert itself with vigor in
relation to world problems that the
Monroe doctrine became traditional
policy, from which no class of the pop
ulation would willingly depart
In similar manner protection has
grown into the industrial and economic
life of the American people SO thor
oughly that no party will dare attempt
to uproot it and return to the old policy
of free trade pursued during much of
the period preceding the civil war.
Political parties will have to adapt
their policies to the great principle that
American industries shall be protected
against injurious foreign competition,
and the most they will venture to advo-
cate will be modification and revision.
