VETERAN TEACHER QUITS.
Mrs. Mary s. Mahoney Goes On the
Retired List.

After teaching In the public schools
OF Detroit for nearly 40 years, Mrs.
Mary S. Mahony, living with her two
daughters at No. 1913 Bethune.ave.
east, was placed on the retired list
by the hoard OF trustees of the teach
ers' retirement fund, Tuesday, being
given the maximum pension OF $27. so
a month for the rest Of her life.
Mrs. Mahony, nee Mary Sullivan,
began teaching In 1864, in the old Por-
ter-st. school, now out OF existence.
Afterwards she taught in what was
known as the Guild hall OF the old
Michigan-ave. school, and later, in the
Franklin school. In 1873, she mar
ried, and for 10 years. until the death
OF her husband, she quit teaching.
Rejoining the teaching staff immedi-
ately after the death of her husband,
she was assigned to work in the un-
graded school, where she did excel
lent service. In 1909 her son, Lieut..
Mahony, stationed at Mare Island
navy yard. San Francisco, died. and
she has done but little teaching since
then.
Supt. Martindale, OF the public
schools, says Mrs. Mahony has done
good work In the schools, and that
she is woman Of beautiful character.
Frederick c. Martindale, secretary
OF state, and brother OF the superin-
tendent, was one of Mrs. Mahony's
early pupils. Many Of Detroit's sue
cessful business and professional men
also got their early school training
under her.

Senator Owen Will Introduce a Bill

WASHINGTON. d. c., March IL
A ten-line bill will be introduced by
Senator Owen in the new congress
providing for the admission Of New
Mexico and Arizona Immediately and
on equal terms.
1T is perfectly silly" said Senator
owen, ito imagine that a state can be
kept out because its organic law and
constitution do not happen to please
the United States senate. What are
the people thinking about, and what
has come over public men, senator's,
presidents and others, that they think
they can dictate to a state as TO the
character of its organic law?
why, even Republican states like
Maine and Wisconsin are adopting the
initiative, referendum and recall, after
they are members OF the union. Any
state can, by the action of its own
people, change It's constitution and re-
write its own constitution, or do any.
thing 1t wants to with its own organic
law, and II Is none Of the business of
the United States senate.
1T makes no difference about the
vote OF the United States senate re-
jecting the constitutions OF Arizona
and New Mexico. These states ought
to be permitted to come in and there
Is no reason why congress should not
pass this ten-line act admitting them,
during the first weeks Of the special
session.
