'TOCare for
INDECENT
Mothers

What was generally proclaimed as
the most meritorious bill ever passed
in 0regon's history was the dependent
widows bill, passed by unanimous
vote late yesterday in the house.
When. Speaker Macarthur announced
the passage of the measure, the entire
house and the crowded lobby broke in
to loud applause-a very unusual hap
pening in any legislative body.
There seems to be no doubt about
the passage Of the bill in the senate.
The mothers of Oregon, or rather the
Oregon Congress of Mothers, are re-
sponsible for the bill, They assert that
not only is the idea humanitarian
and as tending to higher public ideals
and better citizenship, but is economic
al, and will save the state more than It
costs.
The bill provides for the assistance
and support of women whose husbands
are dead or inmates of some state In
stitution, and who have one or more
young children dependent on them.
II the family includes but one child
the mother shall receive $40 per month
II there are more children she shall
receive $3.50 a month for each other
child, No mother can receive this pen,
sion for child over 16 years old; and
no mother who receives an income
from other sources is entitled to the
relief afforded, unless that income Is
less than the one provided for by the
measure.
1t is the purpose Of the act to keen
the children, to which It is applicable
together under the guidance and con-
troll of their mothers, instead of being
sent to the public institutions for care
and that the mother shall make O
home for the children. If, in the judg.
ment Of the tribunal which is to ad.
minister the law, any mother is care.
less or negligent in the expenditure Of
the money received, such tribunal may
direct that the money shall be paid Ia
some person, whom 1t shall designate
to be used for the support Of mother
and children.
The bill applies only to women who
are residents Of the state at the time
the act is passed.
Whenevery any woman on whose ac.
count any allowance shall have beer
made, shall marry, her allowance shall
cease.
The bill calls for a levy on property
In each county of not more than one.
tenth Of mill on each dollar, for the
raising Of n fund, 1t is argued that
such a law will reduce instead Of in.
crease the expense TO the taxpayers Of
Oregon. The bills friends argue that
no state institution can support an
orphaned child for $3.50 a month"; and
give It decent clothing sufficient food
and proper training.
The juvenile court in each county, OF
whatever tribunal Is charged by law

UNITED PRESS LEASED wRR.l


Washington, Jan. 25.-Bitter war
fare in the house is expected in the
consideration Of the new immigration
bill, which was brought up today by
Congressman Burnett, Of New York.
The measure, as amended in confer
ence, provides for literacy test, and
also that all immigrants must fur
nish certificates of character from
their respective governments before
being granted admission to the United
States.
The bill has caused more letters Of
complaint to congressman than any
measure Of recent years. All Jewish
organizations are pledged to fight to
the last gasp against the enactment
of the character certificate clause.
They warmly subscribe to the views OF
Senator La Toilette, who bitterly de-
nounced that feature of the bill as ef-
fectlvely closing forever the doors Of
America to political refugees.
Particular objection is made to the
operation of the proposed bill in the
case of Russian immigrants. 1t is de-
clared that to pass it would render alb
solutely abortive the efforts of Jewish
immigrants from the czar's country to
obtain asylum in America, and that the
measure would effectively destroy the
traditional open door" of the United
States to the oppressed Of Europe.

The Pencil
PuSherS
Banquet
Capital Journal Owners Get
the Newspaper Boys To-
gether for a Most Enjoy
able Evening

One Of the most delightful affairs, in
social way, ever pulled off in Salem,
was the banquet given by Messrs. L. S.
Barnes and Graham p Taber owners
and publishers of The Capital Journal,
to the newspaper men Of the city, and
those here representing the papers Of
the state. The 80 pairs Of legs of hosts
and guests went under the Hotel Ma
rion mahogany promptly at 6:30, and
there followed two hours of social
good fellowship, fun responses, stunts
and bright conversation that only
stopped when things to eat so good
and so attractiveIy served were
brought in, that they made even a
newspaper man forget to talk.
Mr.. Taber was called upon first by
the toastmaster to explain the puz-
cling menu card, which, although an
excellent quality of "pi" was the first
thing on the table. He explained that
1t was the devils" own work, and it
had to go at that. Mr.. Barnes made a
neat little talk, and he also proved his
assertion that he would rather eat than
talk, which is the converse Of the rule
with most newspaper men. Mr.. Hen
bricks, Of the Statesman, gave little
Of his experience in his 2S years and
then some in the business. L. II. Nc
Mahon paid fine tribute to the pro-
fession, and so did City Editor Lock-
hat, of the Statesmen, who refused To
assent to the suggestion that he had
come down" in leaving the pulpit to
take up the pencil, and spoke eloquent
ly of both professions. Then 1t went
round-everybody had something to
say, and, being newspaper men, and
most of them young and optimistic,
said 1t well and enthusiasticall and
there was not a dull moment Of the
brief two hours, from soup to cigars
Every one enjoyed 1t, and none more
than the hosts, whose ears are still
burning over the many nice things said
of and to them. AS one of the speakers
remarked, "the event will be long re-
membered by all who attended"
John II. Cradlebaugh, city editor of
The Capital Journal, served as toast
master for the evening. The colonel
did well, but committed q serious
breach of etiquette by calling on every
person present, without any previous
notification, for a speech.

people as we have to call them "JapS."
Which shows how illogical some people

not an Authorization of the word .Ameri-

RORDER PROTECTION.

NJ =,
Once there were prophets i'll the land
and they %prophesied nightly. Some OF
the prophecies were devotional III tone,
and some of them were imprccatory.
When the people along the borderland
between Mexico and Texas lifted up
their voices and begged for protection,
the imprecatory tone Of the prophets
grew louder. 1t was a shame they SAID
to call public attention to the unprotect
ed condition of this country. 1t was q
sure wayto hurt business. Why even
TO hint at the mere possibility OF trou-
bic OH this side of the Rio Grande was
TO turn away Investments. by alarming
peedlessly the people of the north.
All this in spite OF the
fact that the further away from the Dor
der we went, the wilder became the ru-
morS of anarchy along the border. If the
northern investor got scared ut all he
must have received his fright up around
st. Louis or therelboutS. Nevertheless
some of lis believed that the diplomacy
of fair dealing, honesty and COMMON
sense must in the long run be better
than dollar diplomacy. We asked FOR
soldiers and we got them. Cowardice
Or no c5wardice, Mysteries or no hys
terics we got the soldiers
Is anyone sorry now? Can any man
who has observed the events Of the last
few weeks. regret the fact that we didn't
keep still? Can any man dispute the fact
that the small squadron Of cavalry sent
here has been Of infinite value to us? 1t
is not only that the soldiers have served
us we'll in gathering in the fugitives af-
ter the fight at MatamOros, bat the fact
of their presence here has doubtless
prevented a stampede Of our W people
in the direction of the north pole. Ii
the demand for protection kept anyone
out of the valley. the protection itself mas
kept more han one from leaving il.
