A LAME PLACE IN THE LAW.

In almost every copy of daily
one picks up one sees instances of the
fact that the laws of the land are
lame, that they fail to accomplish
what is desired.
If man deserts wife and chill
dren he has committed, under the law,
an illegal act for he is expected to
support and maintain them, if how
ever he commits some other unlawful
act the law takes him and either fines
him a sum of money, which his wife
and children need for the purchase OF
their daily bread, or shuts him up in
jail for time, thus depriving the
family Of the money which he should
be earning, and sometime the law
does both, takes away what money he
has and also imposes jail sentence
on top of that and the innocent suffer
worse than does the law breaker.
In certain Nebraska city there
lived an old foreigner with his wife
and two almost grown daughters. The
family were none of them very bright
but the old man was an Industrious
old fellow and worked every day and
the small daily wages he received kept
the family in fair shape. The old
lady had very poor health and the
elder daughter in time grew to be
really the housewife and the relation
ship between her and the provider
grew to be so real that last summer
the poor ignorant girl gave birth to
a babe. When the neighbors came in
there was no attempt made to deny
that the "old man" was the father of
the little one. The outraged law then
stepped In and now the "old man" is
an inmate Of the state prison and
the family, deprived Of the wages
earned by the father, are living on the

charity of the people. A recent pa
per published in the town tells of the
protest made by the poor old invalid
wife who insisted that as he. husband
had done wrong and brought all this
trouble, and still another mouth to
feed into the family, that it is an in
justice to her, her daughters and the
little babe, to take from them their
only means Of support and plaintivcly
says that if there was ever time
when the family needed him it is now,
and that it would have been much bet
ter, for the innocent members of the
household, To have let him alone and
let him go working and making a
living for them.
Now, while there is no way Of con-
doning the offense committed by the
father, the old lady is right in her
proposition, the law is wrong and
wrong To a great degree. The earning
powers of that old man belong to his
wife, and to those whom he brought
into the world and who are dependent
upon him for support, and we do moi
believe for u moment that the Law
has any moral right to take these
earnings away from them and leave
them destitute under the idea of pun.
