In the account of the beautiful

full young gentleman to occupy
the place of Best Man on these
interesting occasions, but there
is a superstition that the thr'

Now! We did notwish this idea
to impress itself upon the mind
of our young friend for we are
hoping e'er long to see hlm IN

CURRENT COMMENT
Widows Pensions in Operation.

In one form or another almost every
legislature has been considering during
the winter IA measure providing state aid
for widows or deserted wives who have
children dependent on them. In several
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Utah and
Missouri among them-laws have been
passed patterned on the Illinois law
which has been in operation two wears.
The scheme OF such pensions or relief,
aiming as it does to keep the home cir
Gle intact, appeals to the sympathies of
all people, but there are practical and
common sense considerations which must
not be neglected.
Some OF these considerations are given
prominence in recent investigation of
the workings of the law in Chicago.
The investigation was made by a wholly
friendly agency, the Russel-Sage foum-
dation, and its investigator cannot be
charged with a hostile spirit. Yet he
finds little in the working of the law to
commend. He finds that in half of the
cases studied the relatives, churches.
charitable societies and employers ceased
their financial interest in the women
when state aid was given them. Worse
even than this, the probation officers
who had in charge the distribution Of
the relief and the supervision of the
assisted household, were incompetent or
corrupt in nearly nine cases out of ten.
Added to these serious Weaknesses OF
the system, it was found that in one
home out of every three that were as
sisted the conditions of morals or health
were so bad that it was mistaken kind
ness to keep them intact. In some cases
the relief simply encouraged the aband.
onment of wives by their husbands

The Brattleboro Reformer makes thu
suggestion that the more the listers arc
required to chase around after inven.
tories the great will be the expense ia
the town, adding, ut is therefore mon.
ey in the pocket OF every citizen to give
in his list promptly" This is a point
which citizens lose sight of in their
aversion to taxing themselves" as it
appears to some; they lose sight of the
fact that il is their business and that
the listers merely are persons delegat-
ed TO do the work because all the citi-
zens cannot engage in the task of col
Letting inventories. The listers are not
working in opposition to the taxpayers
in the aggregate but are working for
them. II this idea can be taken home.
coupled with the further comprehension
that the inventories must be handed in
some time and delays really do no good
to anybody, then We shall have more
prompt and efficient service in the in
dividual cities and towns Of the state.

1t would have been extremely embar
RAISING for Speaker Champ Clark and
Secretary of State William j. Bryan to
have gone through four years of un-
pleasant relations since they are mem
bers of the same party and are more
or less associated in their duties as Off
Gals of that party, which is in domi-
nance. Therefore, the reputed burying
of the Ratchet, which took place yes,
terday, is the only reasonable way out
of the difficulty; and Speaker Clark,
who had the greater reason for being
disgruntled, showed himself to be of
large calibre in accepting the good
wishes of the head of the department of
state.

Booker T. Washington finds that the
negro lynchings for the first three
months of the year numbered fifty per
cent. less than the corresponding period
last year and that not one of the lynch
ings was for the usual crime connected
with such mob vengeance. The latter
statement must mean a decrease in that
particular crime, but it does not indi-
cate any marked increase in sef-re.
straint on the part Of the mob, since
the causes of the lynchings must have
been of lesser degree than that which
was considered to be the only excuse
for summary execution of a person.
Hence, there is not reason for unal-
loyed satisfaction on the part of per-
sons who have studied the subject of
lynching in relation to crime.

Vandals and thoughtless people who
have such propensity for cutting down
trees in small cities and towns are re-
minded that proposition is on foot
to plant over five hundred oak trees
on Broadway in the largest city in
North America. Therefore, ambitious
small cities should bear in mind that
treeless city is not synonymous with
big city. OF course, there are sit
uations in which trees are hindrances
and should be cut down, but the cut
ting should be done only after careful
consideration and not merely at the
behest of some public service corpora
tion which seeks clear and unobstruct
ed passage for its wires.

1t is urged that the present deputy
collector of customs, c. A. Bancroft, at
Newport, should be rewarded by APP
pointment as collector. Ii fifteen years
good pay at the hands of the govern
ment is not reward enough for work
done, it is not easy to see how con-
tinued service in behalf of the govern
ment could offer reward, Appoint
ment as collector might bring more sal
airy but it would entail greater respon-
sibility. The government pays for serv-
ice rendered and not for reward.
