take OF thinking otherwise, in reality
we have accomplished a very little
thing when we succeed in placing on
the statute books laws that are in
tended to take away some OF the bur-
den of poverty from the poor.
1t is, because we make the mistake
of thinking our task accomplished at
this point that we are stunned when
some investigation committee, as, for
instance, the Curran legislative COM
mittee that investigated institutions
for children and statistical charities,
brings to light the fact that what we
devised as a means of helping the
poor has only added to their burden
because of the administration of the
measures we have advocated and the
power these measures have given to
some unprecedented, cold-bloodedJ
social workers.
This was especially brought to my
attention in the matter Of one Of the |
best laws ever put on the statute |
books the mothers pension act.
A weary, tired-eyed, stopped
shouldered little mother came in to |
see me week ago about problem
she is facing. She has been a widow
for five years and is supporting her
three children by going out and |
working by the day and she was |
worried about the care of the chill |
dren during her absence.
"Since you are widow why |
haven't you obtained mothers pen |
sion?" asked her.
Her tired blue eyes flashed with |
anger. Don't talk to me about a
mothers pension" she cried. 81 did
try to get a mothers pension and
what did they do? They asked per-
sonal questions about me of all of my
neighbors. They even questioned
my children. Then they went to my
brother, who has five children of his
own and who earns $50 month, and |
they told him he would have to help

not force him to share my burden
when he has all he can carry.

has several children and the proba-
ton officer told her the state was pay
ing her to take care of the children.
They give her the least amount on
which child can live and be clothed
and she goes shabby. They tell her
what kind of food she can buy and
what she can pay for it. They make
her keep an account of every cent
and she wouldn't dare give the chill
dren a days outing lest they would
make that an excuse to call her ex-
travagant and take the pension from
her.
"They don't pay her anything.
They pay for those children less than
it would cost the state to keep them
in an institution and they save the
money it would cost for some one in
an institution to look. after those

But it isn't the money. It's the
way they keep after her. The preba-
ton officer scolds if the house isn't

never stops to think that no house

children in it.

Mr.. Pezet. although born in Peru on

date and perhaps you will understand
why his parents named him Washing
ton-is to all intents and purposes a
naturalized American citizen, except
that he declares he will always remain
a patriotic Peruvian. and believes he
can accomplish more for his own coun-
try by representing her interests in
America than he could by returning TO
his own land. His country evidently
believes so, too, for after educating him
in America, Peru has appointed him
from one post to another to travel in
representative capacity with his dis
tinguished father, the present minister
at Washington. Mr.. PeZet came 70
America in 1850 when his father was
first secretary of the legation here. He
was educated at the Force School. on
Massachusetts avenue, and afterward
went to the Massachusetts, Institute OF
Technology He also accompanied his
father to London and Brussels, when
successive appointments to those cities
in Europe took Minister Pezet abroad.
