GOVERNMENT SEEDS.

The folly of spending some hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually in
government seeds has of
ten been commented on. The princi pal
object was that these seeds were a
form OF electioneering for congressman
They might not be able to visit remote
constituents. but a person receiving a
package had evidence that he was re
membered by the congressman over
whose frank the package was delivered
through the mail.
Some congressman are adopting the
very sensible practice of giving in
formation through the newspapers that
no seeds will be sent out this year
except to those actually requesting it.
No doubt every one of the seed lists
could be cut down TO ) per cent of Its
former size in this way But tn,
congressman may not he willing to save
money to Uncle Sam if they miss The
chance to fatter the voters at home
All these little leaks cost goot
money. Someone has to pay. If The

this would never have been permitted

About all the arrangements for the
big basketball game Monday evening
in Festival hall have been completed,

The mothers pension law in Illinois
is proving just what was to be
expected-a priceless boon to shiftlcss
husbands and fathers. A report of the
United Charities of Chicago shows that
since the law was enacted families
having members and connections with
resources that would tide them over
emergencies decline to use them, and
mistakenly claim their share of state
aid, thus weakening the moral fibre
and making it difficult for private
charities to induce relatives to help
their kin. In other words. permanent
pauperizatIon is resulting. Wife de-
sertion has increased, because every
vagabond knows that his family will
be cared for outside of the poorhouse.
One effect of the law is reducing to
helplessness large number of alien
families who were found last year bos
to be entitled to relief under the act
