BY Jane Whitaker
This is page from life when life
seems coldly brutal. When it takes
from a man and a woman the best
that is in them, and throws them,
worked out, on the scrap pile.
Life can do that with some men
and some women, when there is no
one but themselves to consider, and
the broken puppets will utter no COM
plant, but accept the ruling of life
as memorable.
But when there are others to suf-
fer because of the discard, there is al
most sublimity in the way that
broken men and women will struggle.
And in this page from life there are
five dependent children and a mother
who is worked out, but who is as
ferociously fighting for her children
as crippled ioness for her cubs, the
while she lavishes tenderness upon
her hurt mate.
The story was told to me by two
of my friends man told it with
the tears close to his eyes; his wife

said to my little boy: Tell her there
isn't anything we can do because,
you know, my own need all that we
can manage, but my little boy said:
Papa, this is terrible. If you would
just see her.
Meanwhile my wife had asked her
in and set some food before her as l
entered the room. She looked Wild
desperate. She was sobbing as she
vainly tried to force the food down
her poor throat.
"A woman had me arrested for
begging she told my wife. A wom-
an who lives in a nice home. She
asked me to come in and make my
self comfortable after 1 had told her
about my children that are hungry
and my husband who is sick, and 1

THIS THE STORY WOMAN WHO is DESPERATELY FIGHTING
TO TAKE CARE OF HER YOUNG
The Delta independent., 1914-07-31
REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY TODAY.

Republican caucuses were held gen.
orally over the county Wednesday and
delegates to the county assembly to
be held in Delta today were elected
Presumably there will be fair rep
resentative attendance, about in pro-
portion to that at other party assem-
blies, despite the very busy times and
the fact that it is an off year in ma
tional politics.
In so far as Independent has been
able to learn, majority of Delta
county Republicans are willing to nom
mate along the line of candidates Sc
lected by the Progressives.
This, partly because most of those
nominated were Republicans, and in
part as return favor for the vote
Progressives gave these candidates
two years ago when their initial ,lom
nations came from the Republicans.
There was an entirely friendly feel
ing, locally. two years ago, between
the votes of the two factions, and it is
regarded now, in view of the fact that
the beginning of the end of a divided
party seems in sight. that all in rea-
son should be done to keep alive that
condition of local political friendship.
In discussing this matter of the be-
ginning of the end" Independent be-
lieves it speaks advisedly. Its conten-
tion is that another mistake like that
of 1908 will not again be made in
1912; that there will be united front
presented to the political opponents
whether it shall be as the reunited
G. o. P, or under whatever name.
Contingencies have already arisen
and will be augmented until they will
years will see it accomplished.
There is no particular call for high
horse ranting in local politics this
year 1t is rather time when polit-
ical diplomacy can be profitably con-
sidered.
Independent is Republican in its
views. It's editor has always been
such. He would prefer to see the
Grand Old Party remain the powerful
antagonist of the Democratic party
1t has been for SO many campaigns,
but, if the destinies will it otherwise
at the next great fight, he will add his
little efforts to the party which may
then be lined up in battle array.
These are merely one mans views.
The paper will take whatever course
its party may be pleased to follow.
