Pensions For Mothers.

Philadelphia, July This city has
$4,000 as its portion of the money set
aside by the state for mothers pen
sions. Plans for its distribution have
now reached a point where applica-
lions for pensions are being received
daily.
From five to seven women in each
county of the state are being appoint
ed by the governor to act as trustees
and to provide monthly payment for
partial support Of their children in
their own homes.
The new law states that "the COM
bined total maximum payment shall
not exceed So per month for one
child, $40 per month for two children,
500 pr month for three children and
SIS per month for each additional
child
A woman with a family of five
young children would be drawing $3.50
per month from the state to support
her family.
The conditions which the mother
must meet to be a beneficiary of this
act are not severe. Her children must
attend school and be under the age
when the law allows them to work for
their living, and she must have been a
continuous resident Of the county in
which she is applying for the benefits
for a period of three years.

Plan to Open Merrimac,

Manchester, n. H, July Ito open
the Merrimac river for navigation
from Manchester to the sea was de-
clared feasible at a meeting of the wa
ter commissioners of New Hampshire
and Massachusetts. The first step to
be taken, in the best judgment of the
members, was to secure the appoint
ment of an interstate board of the
state governments of Massachusetts
and New Hampshire which shall draw
up plans and specifica lions and appor-
ton the cost. When that point has
been reached the legislatures can act.
Former Congressman McNary of
Boston, chairman of the Massachusetts
harbor and lands commission. said the
most notable example of internal navi-
cation development in the world was
in the city of Manchester, in England.
There a system of canals had been
built which had cost $75,00O,OOO and
which are q profit to the city.
The Merrimac river has its source in
Lake Winnepesaukee and its outlet at
Newburyport Mass. The Massachu-
sets board can make the river naviga-
BILE to Lawrence. Between Lawrence
and Nashua the river is more or less
navigated at the present time Be
tween here and Nashua the expendi-
ture of few hundred thousand dol
lars would probably be all that was
needed.

Elected to Office 179 Times.

Omaha, July 7.-After being elected
to office 179 times Eben X. Long of
this city has resigned because of old
age and deafness. He is eightyseven
years old and proudly says that he new
er asked any one to vote for him.
Fifty-five years ago he was elected
to his first political office and not a
year has passed since that time when
he has not drawn a salary from the
public. But long before that time he
was elected to office to some of the
many fraternal orders to which he be-
longs. In fact, his average of elections
since he became 9 age has run close
to three a year Once when he was a
candidate he was defeated, but this
was so long ago that he cannot recall
the details of the incident.
Mr.. Long has been a justice Of the
peace in Omaha for twenty-One years,
and more than 10000 cases have come
before him for trial. Scarcely an cleo
ton has been held here in the last fifty
years in which the name of Eben X.
Long has not appeared in the list of
Republican voters.
Judge Long, as he is usually called,
is a native of Newburyport, Mass,
and recalls how in his youth he rode
on the first train between Lowell and
Boston. He came to Omaha when 1t
was a group of mud huts and Indian
tepees and was quickly elected "city''
auditor. Later he served for many
years on the school board.

Federal Versus State RIGHTS.

Washington. July Ito make 1t i'm
possible in the future for a single state
by the disregard of an international
treaty to endanger the peaceful rela-
tons existing between the United
States and a foreign power, Repre-
sentative Richard BarthOldt, Repub-
lican, of Missouri, noted as peace
advocate, introduced in the house a
resolution proposing an amendment to
the constitution.
In explanation of his resolution Mr..
Bartholdt cited the delicate situation
in which this country and Japan find
themselves as a result of the enact
ment Of the California alien land law.
Here is the text of the BarthOldt
amendment:

sive power to legislate on questions af-

tied in this city. These pioneers, now
business men, will assist in represent
ing the tyee of the potlatch and his
sitkum chiefs and shamans. The tyee
reigns supreme during the three day
midsummer carnival.
The word "potlatch" is taken from
the quaint jargon of the Chinook and
means "a gift something freely given.
The Indian Of Washingtons water
reaches and the Alaskan coast expand
ed the definition, so that "potlatch'
came to mean a feast or, better, a fes-
tival given by the chief Of a tribe,
which lasted until the host had given
away to his guests all of his worldly
possessions. In the end he was broke,
but he had had the time of his life and
was respected unto his dying day.

the outside world has been the subject
of an investigation by Professors G. W.
Warbler and G. w. Thompson, econo-
