PENSIONS FOR MOTHERS

At various times the suggestion has
been made that pensions should be
provided for mothers, but the advo-
cacy of this reform by Senator Pen
rose gives substance to a discussion
which previously had been academic
and shadowy. A month or two ago a
number of women in Chicago recon-
mended pensions for mothers, but lit
tie attention was paid to their demand
because it was felt that the idea was
SO radical that it foreshadowed the
Coming from man of the conserv-
atism and intellectual attachments If
Senator Penrose, and suggested by
him for adoption at the present ses-
sion of the Pennsylvania legislature,
the idea now is given a vitalizing force
Senator Penrose suggests further in
vestigation of the subject, but the very
fact that he puts it forward for cons d.
Grafton in the legislature at Harris
burg is an evidence that he has done
some investigating on his own hook.
There would be more merit in a pen
sion for mothers than in many Other
reforms that have been suggested. If
the purpose of pensions is to reward
the faithful, what better way could be
found to build up the nation? The
orphan asylums are filled to overflow
ing with children who have mothcrs
bur no fathers, The community pays
for the support of these children.
Would it not be better to pension the
mothers, thus enabling them to keep
their children? 1t would not only
make the mothers happier, but would
benefit the children by giving them the
individual care that can be expected
only from a mother.
Moreover, it would aid in solving the
problem of race suicide. Many women
fear motherhood because of poverty
Denied husbands help, they would
be sure of pension that would enable
them to keep their homes and their
children, The pension might not be
large enough to support them, but it
would help them in the struggle.
Soldiers are pensioned for the ben
eft of their wives and children as
much as for themselves. Providing
for INDECENT mothers would be equally
proper, on the part of the States. It
would reduce the number of orphan
asylums and produce a better genera
ton for the future.

THE CRISIS FOR THE Y. M. C. A.

In the affairs of the local Young
Mems Christian Association it would
seem that the crisis of crises has been
reached. Something must be done
now, or the Y. NJ c. A. must be aban-
doned in Americas for some time to
come, if not for all time.
This is the moment of supreme test
The Y M. c. A. here has been dis
tinct and keen disappointment. 1t has
brought three-fold disappointment to
those who fostered it. The institu-
ton should stand for the best that
tends toward the growth of body, mind
and soul In each of these three re-
quisites the local Y. M. C. A. has been
a failure 1t has been worse than a
failure-it has been disgrace.
1t is now time for the people of Am
CIRCUS to wipe out the stigma of dis
grace 1t is time to act The period OF
dilatory tactics and half-hearted ac-
quiescence in prevailing conditions
should end. 1t is time for definite
end to be put to present conditions. 1t
is almost as great a reflection on the
people of Americas for present con-
ditions to remain as that they should
have ever existed.
Two plausible methods of relief pre-
sent themselves. The one is for the
people of the city to forever wipe out
the disgrace of the Y. NJ. c. A. by COM
ing to its rescue now, paying the in
debtedness and making it an institu-
ton worthy of its name by giving it
clean administration that will cause it
tc be not only self-sustaining but
power for moral good in this commune
ity and section. The other is to turn
the building over to the local hospital
association, which will give assurance
that it could be used for no better
cause-not even for the Y. M. c. A.
work itself.
1t is the desire of every thoughtful
and spiritually aggressive man in
Americas that the Y. NJ. c. A. remain
Y, NJ. c. A There is vital need of
such an institution here. That need
was seen once. 1t is only on account
of the fact that unfortunate misman-
agement has made the local Y. NJ. c.
A. thoroughly Objectionable that the
people of the city have lost sight OF
the fact that it is sorely needed here.
But if the fund needed to save the
Y. NJ. c. A, cannot be obtained. and
speedily obtained at that, by all means
let the building be turned over to the
local hospital association and be util-
lied for helpful cause. To-day
should decide the matter one way or
the other. 1t is useless to dilly-dally
about the matter any longer. Let some
definite action be taken now
