ARE CHILDREN LESS VALUABLE
TO THE STATE THAN ANIMALS?

For seven years woman and So
biologists have been trying to secure
the establishment OF Children's
bureau, but to no avail. Could we
have more practical illustration of
the necessity of the women's vote TO
enact legislation so beneficial to the
nation at large?
The journal of education in discus
sing the question says, "A nebraska
woman says that her husband is
raising hogs and that she Is trying
to raise a boy. II one of her hus-
bands hogs gives him trouble all he

for her husband to lose his hog?"

BY RUBY M. ZAHM.

Are cattle, sheep, hogs and chick
ems of more Importance to the coun-
try's welfare than children? That is
the question which our honorable and
wise senators CD are trying to de-
eide. because a bill, to establish a
childrep's bureau. has been presented
by some unusually bright legislator,
who believes in having the founda-
ton OF. society, the children, healthy
and secure from disease.
The bill introduced into congress,
proposed to have a children's bureau,
ito investigate and report upon all
matters pertaining TO the welfare of
the child and child-life, and especial
" to investigate the question of In
FAINT mortality; the birth-rate, orphan
ages, juvenile courts, desertion, dan
gGTous occupations, accidents and dis
eases of children; employment, legis-
lation affecting children in the sew
eral states and territories, and such
facts as have a bearing on the well
fare OF children"
Strange as II may seem. and almost
unbelievable as 1t is. there was grave
opposition to this bill. We are told
that IL is not necessary for women
to vote, that men represent them,
but no clearer proof than that men
cannot represent women, could be
given than the attitude of these legis-
lators to this bill. Mothers who bear
children, mothers who go through the
gates of death to bring them into the
world, and give the best years of
their lives to rearing them, know the
value Of child-life, and were they vot-
ers in all of the states of the union,
as they are in the six glorious west
Lern states. there would not be in the
present congress, men who would
dare treat a subject SO vital to the
women of the country, in such man.
ner.
We may be certain that had the
mothers of the country a vote they
would not return to our congress or
senate, men who so little represent
them. or the best interests OF the
country, as to oppose childrens
bureau. When we consider that the
United States government has live
stock bureaus and that IL sends men
all over the country TO inspect the
horses, cattle and hogs, the question
naturally arises, are cattle and anil
mails more important to our civiliza-
tion than children?
We know that not long ago an APP
preparation of 100000 was made at
Washington TO fight the boll-weevil,
and that s125,000 each year is spent
by the government at Washington for
the publication known as Diseases
of Horses" and that each congress
rhan gets 1000 copies.
