Pension Mothers? Why Not?

DR.. Anna l. Won sholly of New York city, member Of
the Babies hospital staff, says:
he state should support mothers for two after
the birth of each child
OF course DR.. Sholy is advocating paternalism
at which the dear conservatives shudderbu that's about
oil they can find to do: SHUDDER.
Why not pension mothersespecally the wives of poor
men who become mothers; and there decidedly more
poor mothers than rich mothers?
Dad, the common worker, is the busiest this
earth about the time he finds there is going to be
other mouth feed He and to the doctor
and the trained nurse and to take of mother while
she is sick
And it is certainty that he can't enough that
there is much left after the appears the
If mother and baby not at least fairly we'll taken
of, both Of them will de-and good citizens
are lost
So why not pension the wife of poor each time
that she becomes mother?
Why not make possible to give the youngster proper
start in fe well to preserve mothers health, for
SHE is the REAL bone and snew of the land
TITS not Mrs Clarence Van Dusen, bueblood who makes
the country great; but it is Mrs. John Smith, who pro-
duces the babies who grow into brawny armed men and
stout girls and who MUST BE PRODUCED if the work
of the future is to be DONE
And there will always be work, for this is workaday
world.

Creases and Styles

1t was only few years ago that when appeared
the street with his trousers the whole neigh
borlood hOoted him.
Now he MUST have the creases.
Then women wore small round hats-now they wear
contraptons that, artistic, actually OBJ
struct the highways and street asles.
1t is not long since women bustles and hoop
~skrts-and now they are ''straight up and down."
Very few these sensible days inflict upon them
selves the agony of collars three inches high
= Not many torturing their feet with shoes
which the heels have been built to look like sharpened lead
pencils
Even little children look comfortable they trot along
beside mamma-and when you have induced fond
mother sacrifice good looks to as regards
her little daughter small son, you going some!
Women men, children, young men, are becoming more
rational time on and the day is actually coming
when we shall be counted very, very sensible.
N Why, some optimistic enough to think that there s
hope for the pretty girl and the college boy!

He Calls Himself a Democrat

The recent election of Woodrow Wilson to the governor
ship of New Jersey has been hailed victory for the
people.
Let's read some excerpts from Wilson's published
Writings: -..t ..4
Leadership cannot belong to the multitude.
sAlasses of cannot be sefdirected neither can
groups of communities.
Questions of government infinitely complex ques-
TONS and no multitude of themselves form clear cut
comprehensive consistent conclusions touching them.
'Neither legislation administration can be done at
the ballot box.''
Here is democrat who has no faith in democracy.
And by the way, rise to inform this ignorant, edu-
Gated that the people of Switzerland New Zealand
Australia and Oregon actually DO accomplish legislation
at the ballot box with the initiative and referendum
The wise do not from the east nowadays; they
come from the west

"M'seur, will you come with u.s."
said Jean.
The bearded man dropped back
into the thick gloom, and without
speaking Rowland followed Crois-
set, his eyes on the shadowy form
of Meleese The ghostly faces
turned from the light, and the tread
of their retreating feet marked the
passage through the blackness.
Jean fell back beside Rowland, the
huge bulk of the bearded man three
PAGES ahead. A dozen steps more
and they came to a stair down
which light shone. The French
mans hand fell detaingly on How
lands arm, and when a moment
later they reached the top of the
stairs all had disappeared but Jean
and the bearded man. Dawn was
breaking, and a pale light fell
through the two windows of the
room they had entered. On a ia
BILE burned a lamp. and near the
table were several chairs. To one
of these CrOisset mOtioned the en-
gineer turned slowly and passed
through door. Jean shrugged his
shoulders as the other disappeared.
mon Dieu, that means that he
leaves it all to me-" he exclaimed.
81 don't wonder that it is hard for
him to talk, M'seur. Perhaps yau
have begun to understand"
Eyes, a little" replied Rowland.
His heart was throbbing as If he
had just finished climbing a long
hill. THAT was the man who tried
to kill me. But Meleese-the-"
He could go no further. Scarce
breathing, he waited for Jean to
speak.
st is Pierre Thoreau," he said,
eldest brother to Meleese. 1t is
he who should say what am about
to tell you, M'seur. But he is too
full of frief to speak. You wonder
at that? And yet l tell you that a
man with a better soul than Pierre
Thoreau never lived, though three
times he has tried to kill you. DO
you remember what you asked me
short time ago, M'seur-if |
thought that you were the John
Rowland woh murdered the father
of Meleese sixteen years ago?
Gods saints, and did until hardly
more than half an hour ago, when
some one came from the South and
exploded a mine under our feet. 1t
was the youngest of the three
brothers. M'seur we have made a
great mistake, and we ask your
forgiveness
In the silence the eyes of the
two men met across the table. To
| Rowland it was not the thought
! that his life was saved that came
with the greatest force, but the
thought of Meleese. the knowledge
that in that hour when all seemed
to be lost she was nearer to him
than ever. He leaned half over the
| table, his hands clcnched. his eyes
! blazing. Jean did not understand,
for he went on quickly.
II know 1t is hard. M'seur. Per-
haps it will be impossible for you
to firgive d thing like this. We
have tried to kill you--kill you by
slow torture. as we thought you
deserved. But think for moment
Mseur, of what happened up here

me-whO would have cut you into
bits no larger than my finger and
feed you to the corrion ravens, who
would have choked the life out of
