PENsIONING MOTHERS
By EDWIN A.. NYE.

Speaking of laws
One of the most humane statutes of
any state is the mothers pension law
of Illinois
1t is this way:
In most states when a mother is left
a widow with children she is unable to
support the state steps in and makes
the children motherless as we'll as ia
therless.
That Is to say, the state takes the
children from the mother and puts
them in an orphan asylum or some
charitable institution.
Which when you come to think of 1t
is monstrous.
mother, who OF all persons is most
able and willing to care for it properly
to mother it-and puts 1t into big
brooding pen with lot of other chill
dren.
And 1t calls that benevolenee!
OF course the purpose is benevolent
one. but 1t is mistaken kindness. When
you rob a child of It's mother you rob II
of its best friend. and when you rob q
that makes life worth while.
Now
Under the law of Illinois instead OF
separating mother and child the pen
sion act allows every deserving mother
from SIS to $40 per month for each
child. The pension continues until the
child is self supporting.
And this pension is OF right and not
of charity.
How much better than to take chill
| dren from their natural mothers anC
| put them in a crowded pen under
charge of a matron.
| Or
How much better than to put widow
| and children under the care of a super
visor of the poor, after the manner O.
most states, and dole out to the famil,
AS paupers-so much of beans ant
bacon and coal.
The cost Is the same.
! Illinois gives the mothers the money
They know better than any superin
tendent of the poor how to use it, t,
say nothing OF the suspicion Of graf
that often attaches to the purchase o
supplies for the poor.
| Let the mother keep her Riddles.
She will do better by them than an,
| stranger. They are her children. T
bring them into being she has gon
into the jaws of death.
In a hundred years from now 1t vii
be told of this generation as an IN
| speakable cruelty that society actuali

mothers

sIx-YEAR-TERM FOR PRESIDENT

President Taft has started. a dis
cussion on the old familiar question
Iof giving the president of the United
States a term of six years. Cleve-
land once set up similar current
In fact. great many people have
written and talked about it,
To a certain extent this discussion
grows out of more or less conscious
dislike for the rigidity of our system.
A president is jerked back after four
years in office says an exchange.
If he is a poor president, he ought
mot to have served that long: If he
is good president and has the con-
fidence of the country. he ought to
serve longer. Woodrow Wilson's al
mirable comparison, in his .Congres
sional Government. of our infiexible
system with the responsive and re,
sponsible English cabinets system
ought to be familiar to every school
boy.

A COLOSSAL JOKE.

The Real Estate News Co. of Chi
cago determined to take advantage
of the activity in the Calumet district
to issue a Calumet region edition of
its pa9er
Advertisements were secured from
manufacturers, business men and
realty dealers all over the district on
the representation that the edition
would be something new and original
in the way of an exposition of the
advantages of the great manufacture
ing district of Indiana
When the edition was distributed
a few days ago advertisers discovered
it to be principally a compilation Of
articles that have been stolen from
the newspapers of the region and re-
written. But the Real Estate News
in some instances didn't have time to
rewrite the articles.
The two leading articles, one on
| the rivers and harbors of the region,
and the other on the new manu-
| featuring district at Calumet WE'RE
lSTOLEN VERBATIM FROM THE
TIMES AND PRINTED AS ORIG
IINAL MATERIAL.
| The joke of it is that the circula-
tion of THE TIMES in this district
had resulted in these articles being
previously read by almost everybody
and it soon became apparent that tn
so-called real estate edition was
nothing more than a re-hash of one
of THE TIMES recent real estate edi-
lions.
But the consummate nerve OF the
publishers is shown by the following
statement which appears on the
front page of the edition, PUBLISH
ERS ARE AT LIBERTY TO REPRO

In short THE TIMES is at liberty

own real estate expert and copied In
the Real Estate News without any
