The WIDOW AND HER PENSION.

When a widow with five children
who Is supporting herself and them in
honor by hard labor over the washtub
asks for a widows pension under the
state law and comes with witnesses of
high repute to back her il would seem
that opposition 10 her claim is opposed
to the purpose Of the law and the
spirit of charity. The law provides as
sistance for widows with children by
pension not more than 50 a week for
each child. If it meant anything IL in
tended to put reputable nard working
women with children 10 support out
from under the hands of the poormas-
tiers, to relieve in some part the pres
sure Of their poverty, take them from
under the shadow of the poor house
and free the children from the stigma
Of pauperism. 1t meant to give the
mother a chance to be mother.
A widow with five children who
keeps the family together deserves well
OF her community and her county and
her country. She is doing the finest
public service rendered by any human
being. Greater than that Of any states
man or public official in state or coun-
ty; for the basic American institution
is the home. 1t is the fundament of
the government. And this woman kept
home, maintained it with her hands
over a washtub. To afford her pit
lance of 81 week is not a gift of
charity but the payment OF a debt.
She is entitled to a pension as fully
as any pensioner Of war And she is
as brave and steadfast as any war
rior who even went to war and her
battle is the hardest and the longest
ever fought.
Somebody has estimated with rea-
sonable accuracy that it is worth So
900 to raise child. So far as that is
concerned we will all agree that good
citizen is worth more to the commun-
tty in which he lives than the interest
on $4,000.

man estimate the price of going down
into the shadow Of death and thru the
uTue::thaxioa &c childbirth Eve times, bend
ing over washtub all day to feed five
children and over the mending and the
lessons at night? Simply as business
proposition, what is it worth, decent

BooTLEGc1xc. WITH SALOON

The mulct law is being very strictly
enforced in Sioux City against the sa-
looms. Bootlegging is more common
than in recent Eears-and bootiese:ns
IS NOT an ADEQUATE name for the Illicit
selling OF drinks in sioux City. There
are many resorts ard business is APP

son Of the reduction in saloon hours
Sioux City Journal.
This is direct evidence that the sa-
looms do not keep out the Bookkeeping.
The claim of people who advocate sa-
looms is that the saloon men organize
to see that the law IS enforced ana
that Illegal selling OF booze Is not toll
Grated. The evidence Of the Sioux City
Journal disproves this claim. The sa-
loon is a law violator and has never
been known to observe the Iowa law
nor to make an effort to clean out the
Illegal holes in the we'll.
There are other towns without ga
looms which tolerate the bootleggins
also.

Let Me Do Good.

Let me do good and never know
To whom my life blessing brings;
Fen as 4 lighthouse freely filings
Ger the dark waves steady glow,
Guiding the ships, which to and fro
Fit by unseen with their white
wings;
Let me do good and never know
To whom my life blessing brings
AS thirsty travellers come and go
Where some fresh messy fountain
springs;
1t cools their lips and sweetly sings,
And glides away with needless flow;
Let me do good and never know
To whom my life a blessing brings.

the Cedar Rapids Republican of the

such a paved highway from ocean to

most with the building os the Parma
canal. 1t will be one Of the greatest
boms to the nation, not merely to the
cities and towns along this particular
route. Nor will such a highway serve
