If ever woman was deserted by her husband
Mrs Dahlberg was.
If ever there was good cause for woman to
get divorce, Mrs. Dahlberg had it. for at least
the divorce meant she would be able TO save the
few pennies she earned over the washboard from
falling into the hands of her profligate husband.
The legislature meant to help the Dahlberg
children in their struggle for existence just as It
meant to help every destitute child in the state.
But the courts step in and say: "You mustn't
help them. They're children Of divorced woman.

TN passing the mothers pension bill, the legisla-
ture honestly meant to help every mothers child
in destitute circumstances to face the grim battle of
llfe
The unthinkable idea that some children were
TO get help and others were not never entered the
mind of any legislator who voted for the measure.
Where children under IS depended for support
upon the mother with whom they lived and she
was of good character, though needy and poor, the
mothers pension was to come to their relief.
The legislature meant to frown upon conditions
which required the separation of mothers from their
children. The great state of Washington wanted its
children to have mothers care, rather than turn
them over to institutions.
But when the mothers pension law came into
judicial hands, the courts almost at once made an
