MOTHERHOOD ENDOWMENT.

Over in Europe they have been dis
cussing for some time the endow-
ment of motherhood" But while
they are talking of it over there, we
are doing it here. At least a long
step in that direction has been taken
in Illinois, where the Legislature has
passed a bill providing pensions for
the mothers of needy children. 1t
is left to the county courts to deter
mine what are deserving cases, and
to fix the amount to be paid in each
instance. The law is the direct out
come of the White House conference
upon children, in 1909. 1t will be
expanded and enlarged in scope after
a time and within a few years, every
state in the union will have a similar
law on the statute books.

College hotbeds of debauchery
is the n in which a Chicago re-
former opposed to college education
criticizes the seats of learning in the
United States. He particularizes
two or three colleges in the east, and
upon the results of an alleged in
vestigation into their workings con-
dennis the entire college system of
education. If the man is in earnest,
why particularize? The great ma
jority of college men are among the
country's most substantial citizens in
all walks Of life; and the influences
at college tend to elevate and rouse
the latent ambition in a man. The
Chicago reformer is a silly ass.

THE FAULT.

Much has been said and written
concerning the duty owing by the
promoters of officers of a mining COM
pany to those who have invested their
money in the stock of the concern.
Too much, in truth, cannot be said
on this subject, for the money put
into the stock of a company must be
considered a trust to be wisely handl-
ed for the benefit of those who
render the project possible through
their financial support.

EDGAR w. HOWE

Edgar W. Howe, famous as Ed
lowe of the Atchison Globe, whose
paragraphs have been copied by
newspaper from one end of the
country to the other, has just re-
tired from the management of the
Globe. Mr.. Howe is 81 years OF age
and has been editing the Globe for
thirty years. The American Maya
zine has made a few selections from
that which will give the reader
some idea of the individuality of the
well-known journalist:

Almost every public speaker

that he has been abroad.
Every nan throws a rock now and

Every great mar must realize that

The children who attend a certain

Standard Oil is having no great
trouble adjusting itself to the SUI
preme courts ruling against its bust
ness, but the American Tobacco COM
pany is having all kinds of trouble
because it was more complexly or
gained. The Standard, for instance
has no bonds apd no preferred stock
and the big company never took over
the properties of the subsidiary COM
panies. The American Tobacco
company has bonds, preferred stock
and all kinds of plants to divide and
it is a difficult task. The Standard

long war that was made on it, be-

IMPLEMENTS OF WAR.
The navy now has a gun which will
fire a ball or torpedo at almost any
hand

n navy now mas a gun WHICH Will
fire a ball or torpedo at almost any
angle.
1t was of course, a foregone
conclusion that a gun would be in
vented which would impair, if not
quite nullify, the aeroplane as a war
machine. The SCIENTIFIC thought
which is spent in devising engines
and implements of war is nearly al
ways checkmated by the semitic
thought which is spent in devising
protection against those engines and
implements.
If this new gun can be made to
project a ball or torpedo seven miles,
and aimed at almost any angle, then
the airship will be well-nigh useless,
even for accommodating purposes.
In that event the nations might well
come to formal agreement that the
airship be forbidden as a machine of
war, and thus save themselves the
cost of building them as well as the
cost of making the guns which rem
der them useless. And, indeed, why
not let the whole game of war be
played out in study and shop, elimi-
mating an engine or implement of Of
tense whenever some device of defense
is invented that renders it useless, or
nearly SO? In this way we should
at least simplify the method of max:
