a good council Is as essential to a
good mayor as TO a bad one. The
council is the check on the executive

provide the means for the rest Of the
administration TO act. 1t must legis-

The council must order all improve

the privilege Of extending the city's
opportunities or Of binding genera
tons yet unborn TO a bad bargain.
The council makes the laws of the
city, the city Judge interprets them,
the mayor carries them into effect.
The councils work is primary, fun
damental.
Effective work in the council calls
for a high degree of ability. of knowl-

ADVANCED LEGISLATION.

The state OF Wisconsin has taken
steps in advance of any other state
for the protection of society against
improper marriages and defective
children. Enactments by the state
legislature along these lines took a
wide range and covers the related
subject so completely that Wiscon-
sin must be regarded as a model.
The legislation referred TO was
passed in separate bills to guard
against confusion and error and pro-
vides that marriage licenses shall be
issued only 10 men holding certificates
Of health from licensed physicians,
prohibiting the marriage Of second
cousins or persons affected with epil-
ton OF habitual criminals and insane,
the feeble-minded and epileptic per-
sons confined in public houses and
asylums.
These sweeping reforms are strik-
ingly significant Of the doctrine of the
survival of the fittest which for years
has been more preached than prac-
ticed. They afford an example of the
modern conception of the best means
Of protection against the social evils
from which mankind is needlessly
suffering. They emphasize the prin-
ciple of prevention which in the
prudential plans Of mankind has
supplanted reliance upon cure. They
offer an incentive to personal purity
and a safeguard against those who,
through misfortune, are a menace to
health and happiness.
Society has a perfect right to take
such precautions. 1t is nothing more
nor less than exemplifying the first
law of nature. preservation, and
1t a duty society owes itself to raise
the barriers against human misery.

HOW THE MO THEIRS PENSION law OPERATES
The Story of Mrs. MCManuS is
the Mothers Pension in 0p-
GRAFTON, and Shows Clearly
Why This State is Willing to
Pay a Poor Mother a Salary
for Rearing Her Children.

SEATTLE. Wash, Aug. 2. - Mrs.
Mary E. McManus is an employe Of
Pierce county. Her salary is s25 a
month. Her work is to feed. clothe
house, educate and train her three
children-Charles, Is; Clement, 9,
and Parker, Z. For Mrs. McManus is
the first beneficiary under the mo-
theirs pension law.
If Mrs. McManus were unwilling
or unfit TO continue to undertake
the care of her children, they would
become charges of the county II
would cost all OF SIS a month TO keep
them in an institution and the work
would not be done half so well as
Mrs. McManus will do il. For the
best juvenile institution in the world

than the mother Of those children
If she happens 10 be the right kind of
q mother.
And Mrs. McManus is that kind.
Nearly two years ago Mrs. Nc
Manus husband died. He left his
widow $3.50. BY the time she had
recovered from the death OF her hus-
band, THE $3.50 WAS GONE!
Since then she has supported her
self and her children by taking in
washing.
often she has two washings in
the tubs and third waiting. She
is up at four every morning and never
leaves her tubs before eight at night
and her income varies. II II is a
good week, she will make as high as
IS. Her rent alone is $40 a month.
Occasionally her children have
gone breakfastless to school. This
doesn't happen often. 1t ought
never TO happen. 1t never will hap
pen again now that she has the pen
sion.
In considering the case of Mrs. Nc
Manus and her pension, leave senti-
ment out. Be hard-hearted and cold
blooded and business-like.
Although Mrs McManus is in re-

continue to work at her tubs. She
