discover his loss. The matter was
brought to the attention of the detec-

Mothers Pensions or Social Insurance?

Sharp challenge of mothers pensions
comes from DIR. Edward I. Devine. Writ
ing not as associate editor, but express
ing his personal convictions. he saws in
The Survey:
Children should not be protected, as
the advocates of mothers pensions in
sist, but the giving of pension by the
state to the mother does not constitute
such protection, and in large major
ity of instances is not even substan-
tial contribution to this end. Children
need protection very often because Of
improper guardianship, or because of ig-
norance and neglect of parents, or be-
cause of their own physical defects or
mental peculiarities, or because of n
hundred other reasons which have no
earthly relation to income.
Children need protection sometimes
because of poverty alone, but far less
frequently than most advocates of moth
ers' pensions seem to imagine. If the
poverty which does lead to need for
protection is due to any insurable risk
such as death, sickness, or old age. or
even the involuntary unemployment of
the breadwinner, then that need should
be met by insurance, in the expense of
which industry must bear its due bur
den, the state and the insured also do
ing their part according to the principles
of social insurance as they are being
successfully worked out in foreign coun-
tries and in some of our states.
with what unholy joy will the anti

widows and orphans of those whom he
has slain, Unfortunately upon the
scrap heap of public relief, welcome a
movement which by changing the name
of this relief to widows pensions, makes
it more palatable to widows and to SEN
timental reformers, and thus gives the
exploiters a new strangle-hold on the
exemption privileges of which they are
about to be deprived.

Annexation.

If the position were reversed from
what it is to-day. and the proposition
were to be submitted to the Canadian
people whether or not they would annex
the United States. the vote would be
virtually unanimous in favor of such an

the same as if the United States an

continent would move forward at the
same pace now observed in the expand

To Pay Expenses of State
Troops In Michigan
Copper Section
STATES FUNDS MAY
NOT FALL SHORT
Treasurer Says 1t Costs the
State $4,000 Each
Day

Lansing, Mich, Aug. 2.-According to
State Treasurer Haarer, the general fund
of the treasury will suffer as the result
of the troops being called for strike duty
in the upper pininsula. Under the law,
which was recently passed, counties are
exempted from paying the expenses Of
troops doing strike duty and the cost is
assessed on the state.
The expense of maintaining the troops
at the copper country is estimated at
over $4,000 day, and State Treasurer
Haarer fears there may not be sufficient
funds in the state treasury to pay the
bills.

FOR SMALLER CUP RACERS.

Every real. surc-enough sailorman
will welcome Sir Thomas Lipton's sus-
gestion that the racers for the Amer
ica's Cup be Of reduced size. His chal-
lenge with a 15-foOt yacht is well with
in the terms Of the deed Of gift. which
permits q range OF from 81 10 90 feet.
And the benefit 10 our yachting from An
acceptance OF such q challenge and Il

equal length would be very real.
The truth is. the D-foot craft of the

magnificent for the moment But
owing 10 the huge initial cost rs well
as the extravagant running expenses,
il is impossible 10 develop a class OF
such craft or have them raced through
a season. The earlier cup defenders
were workable yachts that led their

The sender races have furnished the

So the time seems particularly
happy one for placing the cup races on
a firmer and soundpr basis. The exact
length Of craft best suited 10 existing
classes is minor matter that could
doubtless be adjusted by negotiation.
Whatever criticism there may be Of the

WHAT RHODES MEN ARE
DOING.

The Rhodes scholars at Oxford. the
great majority Of whom are from the
United States. seem 10 be pretty gen
orally pursuing courses similar 10 that
which the founder Of their scholarships
intended. There has just appeared the
first official report showing what be-
comes Of these young men after they
leave the university and return home,
covering the six years since the first of
them left oxford. 1t shows that more
than one-third Of them have entered
some form of educational work, that
more than fourth have become law
yers and that more than 10 per cent
have entered the civil, diplomatic or
consular services. Thus more than IS
per cent of the whole are enrolled in
these three classes Of activity.
Rhodes's purpose was that these men
should largely enter political or public
life Of some sort, so as TO exert upon
public affairs and popular opinion the
beneficent influences Of their interna-
tional training, and thus TO extend in
ternatjOnal information, appreciation
and good will throughout the world
