A Letter From Mrs, Rice
Editor Journal:

[ClIOT journal:
AS our state is now organized and
a branch ofthe National Congress of
Mothers, ii might be of interest to
your readers to know of some of the
grand work they are doing for our
country. Your writer had the pleas
ure Of being present at the 18th an
nual Child Welfare Congress, held in
St. Louis from March 25th. A re-
| ceptIon was given to the officers
and members in the parlors OF the
Planters Hotel, on Wednesday after
noon, from four to six, and we
We're given a rare treatin the musi-
cal line by the Mckinley High School
children. The Convention opeued at
Sp. III. Greetings by Mr. Gudlach,
acting mayor Thomas J. Cannon of
the Cons ention bureau and Ben Blew
EFT, Phi. D., superintendent Of schools
OF St. Louis.
Then our national president, Mrs.
Frederick Scheff, of Phliadelphia

Present Outlook for Childhood in
America. She is truly wonderful
woman; she has placed in homes.
cared for and advised 5000 children
and through her management the
death raIe in her city among infants
has been decreased 60 per cent. Her
facts were based on that wonderful
teacher, experience.

| '. O'Shea OF the Wisconsin Universe
ty, y,entitled, New Times Bring New
Results He said the greatest work
We had before us is to check Tie ra-
pie rate our boys are reaching ma
tuflty, which is causing SO much ner-
vousness and was due to great ex-
! tent by not obtaining for them am
useinents suitable to childlife. A We. "
interesting message was read On Thur
day morning from Dr. ClaXton of
the Bureau OF Education, Washing
ton. D. G., offering his hearty CO.
operation and assistance 1t was
hailed with much applause, and it
came unsolicited
Mrs. J.H. Robertson, of jackson
Tenn. made a plea for all states to |
adopt the widow 'speGsion bill. which |
is at present attracting SO much at
tention. | am proud to state that |
Missouri has been among tneiirst |
states to pass the bill. Mrs. E. r. |
Weeks, Of Kansas City. Mo-, gave us |
the report OF what had been done in |
our state.
Illinois is the other state where
they pension worthy mothers and ia
theirs also, when by mis- fortune the
father Of large families requires the
mother to leave home to help support
the family. The state owes to every
child as its future Citizen at least a
chance.
We now have organizations in 81
states and nearly all were represente |
In conclusion, | wish to say, | wish |
it were possible for every mother and
father to attend such a meeting, we
would realize more what a great work
We have in preparing our children, as
the future citizens OF our county. | |
hope to soon hear of other places in |
our county taking up the work.

Will Mr.. Hensley come back to This
district and point with pride to his
efforts to reduce the tariff on lead
which, should it be done, would cause
! the lead industries TO cut down ex-
penses, curtail the production. ard
: possibly cause many to close down:
| No: he will tell us how he voted to
put black pepper on the tariff scned-
ule, which has been on the free list.
and how he did mighty service to the
laboring man by voting to put arsen-
ic and cocaine on the free list. You
will be able to get arsenic at much
lower figure when this bill goes into
effect. We all owe Mr.. Hensley q
vote of thanks for this.-Bonne 1erre

of giving it to themselves in the n"cE

he is opposed to any such duties
Although the socialist party was d
feated in the recent municipal Clec-
ton in Milwaukee it appears they ac-
tually GOT more votes than 'hey die
two wears ago, when the socialists
were viGtorius. SO. though beaten
for the offices by combination OF
the Republicans and Democrats, it
can hardly be said that the people Of
Milwaukee have repudia;ed socialism.
Many of the public poiitie inauSur-
ated in that city under the short
regime OF the socialist party will I'M
doubtedly remain as institutions that
will be of great benefit to the con-
munity.
