WONDERFUL RECORD
CONTINUED from First Page

today five hundred and seventy mine
descendants.
What a record. Is there living any
where today a woman who can name
over such list? Is there any other
mother in Kentucky or out OF IL.
who can boast of such a family? II
there is We would like to hear OF II,
but we do not believe there is. We
believe that Aunt Jenny stands today
at the head of the great body of mo-
thers-a leader in the noblest profess
sion on earth.
Apart from this glorious record,
there is nothing wonderful about the
old lady. She has been all her life a
plain American, mountain woman, go
ing steadily about her daily tasks
with the loving care and Christian
patience which we have all seen in
hundreds of the blessed women of our
home land. Her neighbors have loved
and respected her, her husband has
honored and cherished her, her chill
dren have loved and obeyed her. as is
the case with so many.
Jane Sandlin, as Aunt Jenny was
called when a girl, was born May
6, 1921. She was married In October,
1884, when a little over thinteen years
of age, an age not uncommon for mar.
riage then, and she still lives near
the home where she raised her chill
dren, not far from Sand Gap. in Jack
son County Her husband, jeff Morris
as he was known, or Vincent w. Nor
ris. to give him his legal title. was
born June 30, 1916, and after spending
fifty-six years of happy married life
with the partner OF his youth went to
rest on Nov 20, 1890 A brief record,
you see, and happy one.
The Sandlin family. from which Mrs
Morris came, is long lived one. The
family moved into Kentucky from Vir
ginia. the mother however, being a
Canadian. OF Aunt Jenny's four sis
tiers, no one died under the age of
rs. Aunt Jenny is now SS, and is still
hearty and happy, and may see many
another Christmas before her time is
up.
I'm the picture which we print on
our first page this week, is shown one
line of the descendants of Aunt Jenny.
She herself is seated on the left, her
son, william Morris, of Mckee, on the
right. His daughter stands behind
him, and her daughter behind Aunt
Jenny, while between the two older
people stands the great, great grand
son. Five generations in one group.
Surely that is a picture hard TO dup
licate
However, remarkable as this pic
tune is, 1t has been duplicated in the
family of this same William Morris, Of
Mckee. His wife has been a
member of such a group. She was

habit a politician of the old, corrupt.
log-rolling class, which is so rapidly
disappearing. and makes full use Of
any thing which comes to his hand,
thus taking part in deals which are
disgrace to this day, and would hard
~ have been tolerated by any decent
men at any time.
'Sixth:-That he is old and vindict-
i've, and does not hesitate to use the
power which has been placed in his
hands for the public good to punish
any man who dare to disagree with
him.
These six indictments about sum
up the case against Cannon. For one
or another of these reasons he has
been found against every reform
movement for the last twenty years
He would never improve anything if
he had his way, and he would let all
his friends fatten on public plumber.
1t is impossible here to give a list
of the useful measures which he has
pposed-measures which have been
passed over his head, or which he has
finally permitted to go thru in conse-
quence of some political deal, and
which the conscience and sense Of
the country have approved on their
record. There is never a session Of
Congress without some such bill. Can
non has opposed them all, and he
will continue TO do so.
As TO his political deals, 1t is always
impossible to prove anything But ii i
generally believed that he did make
A deal with Tammany. whereby Tam
many was to help him throttle reform
in Washington, and in return he was
to help Tammany throttle Republican
reform measures in Albany II is a
fact that these things were done-the
only question is whether there was
deal. And 1t is generally believed
that he has made similar deals in 9TH
er places, trading the wealth of the
people or his own power in Congress,
for support which would help keep
him in possession of that power. His
vicious attacks on good men, simply
because they have the courage to diff
fer with him, are well known and ex-
pected. The present session will see a
series of them.
These things, then, are taken rs
proving that Cannon is not a man fit
to be trusted with the power which
lies in the Speakers hands. He is
corrupt, little, obstructionist, vindict-
i've, in short. a peanut politician"
Such men are to be found by thou
sands in smaller political places all
over this country, but that such an
one should be the ruler of our Con-
gress is simply amazing. And, it is

oOiuuon 10 frOOlem NO. ,.
A tree so feet high was broken by
the wind in such a manner that the
top struck the ground 20 feet from
the foot of the tree. How high was
the stump?
Solution:
S0xS0 equals 640O
20x20 equals 400
6400 less 400 equals 5000
Sox2 equals 100
Divide 5000 by 100, the result is 81
feet inches, height of stump, AZ feet
6 inches length of broken part.
Rule-From the square of the whole
height subtract the square of the base
and divide by twice the height.

the child labor law Of 1908. This Sec
tion goes into effect June l Of each
year; that is to say, its provisions
begin to apply at that time.
The section provides as follows:
"That any parent, guardian or person
I standing in loco PARENTS, who shall
furnish to the persons named in sec
ton i Of this act (to magistrate or
clerk Of court) a certificate that their
child or ward has attended school for
not less than four months during the
current year, and that said child or
children can read and write, may be
permitted to obtain employment in
any Of the textile establishments Of
this State during the months Of June,
July and August, and the employment
of such children during the said
months upon the proper certificates
that such children or child have at
tended school as aforesaid, shall not
be in conflict with the provision Of
this act.''
The act of 1903 was the act regu-
lating the employment Of children in
factories, mines and manufacturing
establishments in this State. In or
der to come within the provisions Of
section 6 there must be sent to Com
missioner Watson certificate as set
forth in this section and also one OF
the affdavits under the recent act of
the general assembly, relating to fac
tory inspections.
The object Of the section is to allow
children under II years of age other
wise coming under the provision Of
the child labor act to work provided
they have been to school during at
least four months Of the year. There
is no way to get the permit to work
unless the child has attended the
school full four months. A case came
up from Greenville where the child
had been to school within one week
of the four months but there was no
relief.
Commissioner Watson will shortly
prepare a statement showing how the
new act creating the factory inspec-
tors has been working. There has
been very little trouble, all the orders
Of the inspectors being obeyed with
little friction. In a number of cases
all necessary were minor orders as
to sanitary features and in some cases
the mill managers had already put
children not entitled to be in the
mills ont Of the same. There have
been a few cases where the inspectors
had to order children out Of the mills.
In the course of their visits the in
spictors have met with some unusual
cases and have had to enforce the
law strictly in spite Of the seeming
hardship. For the most part such
cases were those in which widowed
mothers were involved.

dered why there are more Of them IN
Traian's Forum than in any other
spot in Rome, and, indeed, there is
special reason, which I learned last
night from my obliging and intelli-
gent hostess, Signora R. This fol-
I'm, she tells me, is the Roman cats
poorhouse. the felines' founding
hospital, the kittens' orphans home.
It has been so for half a century,
When a Roman wishes to get rid OF a
cat. instead of tying stone around
its neck and throwing it into the the
Tiber, he simply carries it to Trajan's
Forum and drops it over the iron rail
ing; it could, if it chose, climb out OF
the pit with greatest ease, but 1t new
er does, and never goes back home.
'I remember once when [ was a
little girl,' said Signora R, "a
cousin, who lived at Tivoli, presented
me with a fine Maltese cat; my moth
er didn't like animals, but yielded to
my entreaties and let me keep the
pet; however, it turned out to be the
wrong kind of cat, and got into the
annoying habit of having kitten every
six weeks; I presented them to all
my friends and playmates, right and
left, and managed by hook or crook
to get rid of the first two families, but
when the third litter arrived pune
tually on the scene, my mother lost
all patience, packed the cat and kit
tens in a basket, hung the basket on
my arm, tied a pink sunbonnet be-
meath my chin, for it was the month
of May, and sent me off to the forum.
I cried while I was lowering the bas-
ket into the pit, and at first [ went
back every morning with little pack
age of meat, but there were so many
Maltese kittens that | could not be
quite sure which were mine, and at
the end of a week, when I leaned ov-
er the railing and called 'Peppa, Pep
pa, Peppa,' they all came running to-
gether, and I couldn't tell at all. y
How the custom of abandoning eats
in this particular spot originated, l
have not been able to learn. To bor-
row a phrase from the psychologists,
"history is silent on the subject. " but
by a queer coincidence it was IN this
same neighborhood that stood the
Egyptian temple Of Isis, one of the
few edifces of Imperial Rome, in
which the strange gods of the Nile
replaced those of Olympus. Cats, as
everybody knows, were held sacred
by the Egyptians and by converts to
their cult, and the supposed site OF
the temple in which these animals
were worshipped makes a peculiarly
fitting refuge for the modern deserted
felines Of the Eternal City, refuge
in which, though not worshipped as of
old, they are at least we'll fed and
unmolested, for every day people
bring them scraps Of food, which they
throw down into the pit for the fun Of
seeing them scratch and scramble.
Indeed, feeding the cats in Trajan's
Forum has become a public pastlme,
something like feeding the swans in
New York'S Central Park and the
pigeons at Venice.
