Neglect Their Families.
Editor The Washington Herald:
In this mornings issue of The Wash
ington Herald. l was incorrectly re-
ported in my remarks before the conven-
ton Of the w. c. T. L. Thursday after
noon.
The sentiment I expressed was not
that the Washington business woman
neglects her family. as was reported. My
remarks were to the effect that the
woman whose own exertions are a step
to her winning Of a home is the more
devoted mother because Of her efforts
to gain a home. When a woman mar
ries. my remarks went on. she should
marry with the expectation OF being
supported that she might give her time
to the rearing of a family. II the hus-
band is unable to provide this support,
il is the duty of the state to care for
the mother. for it is her offspring that
makes the state.
