Her Own Money.

New York Evening Sun: The play,
Her Own Money, has been bringing
out the stories. This time it is about
mother. 1t happened up state"
Mother. who had never had any
money before in her life, all at once
became the amazed possessor of 800,
paid to her in settlement of her great
uncle's estate, a crisp, new 500 bill
all her own. What to do with 1t? The
whole family took the matter up col
lectively and individually.
What could mother possibly want
OF 500? When had mother ever had
anything which she was not eager to
share with the first one who came
along? Here was mother who lived
to get up nights to mix mustard
plasters, mother who always had a
piece of string at hand when any
one needed it, mother who had time
to listen to grievances, mother who
never was known to talk about what
she was going to wear, mother who
waited up for you so as to unlock
you, patient, loving, precious little
nondescript mother-with 800! The
situation was unparalleled.
Son said he wished he had q motor
cycle; he knew where he could get
one second hand for 500. Daughter
said she wished she could take a
course Of efficiency lectures. begin
ming next week and costing 800. Aunt
Caroline said mother should get her
self something decent to- wear be-
fore some one got the 500 away from
ner.
Grandma said she didn't know
where mother kept her money, but
fer her part she didn't think it was

house. Uncle John said you could
never tell much about folks till you
saw how they would act when they
had money. Father wanted her to
put it in the bank. And all the
while mother maintained a dignified
silence as became a person Of opu-
lence, kept her own counsel and be-
gan to demonstrate traits of charac-
ter no one had suspected her Of. The
neighbors said she was getting stuck
up, the county paper published news
Of the legacy and the, hired man load
ed the gun so. as. to. be. ready for loot
ers.
Now for the psychological value of
becoming n Fheiress. Mother was in
vited to join the Woman's Improve
ment society and to serve on the
board OF managers of the new or
phanage. Her name was solicited
as a p%atroness Of art and printed on
the programme. She left off wearing
an apron afternoons, began to dress
her hair like the women managers,
wore her shoes with the medium high
heels every day and manifested some
thing like dominion of spirit that wall
ed her all the way around. Probably
she had the 500 in her pocket. No
body knew. Nobody knows to this day
what she did with it. She went braz-

GREAT SUCCESS

from the leading and standard operas,
which were a rare treat to the music
lovers present. They are all artists
of unusual ability and talent, and their
varied programme was Of the best.
The exhibition Of the new modern
dances by Miss Benedict and Mr.. Hen
ny was also good. They showed a
number of new steps in the Argentine
tango, the one-step and the Hesitation
waltz.
Much credit for the success Of the
affair is due to Miss Mary Allen Of
Minneapolis, who took charge. She
was assisted in receiving by the Misses

SUFFRAGE NOTES

Women workers who toll daily in the
mills and in HI sWeatshops and the
factories Of the nation pleaded with
President Wilson Monday for his as

them, as he did a delegation last De-
cember, that he could not urge any
thing on congress which has not re-
ceived the organic consideration of the
democratic party. The demonstra-
tion-not the brass band, the street
procession, the colored remnants and
battle flags of the cause, but the tale

breaking tragedies OF p~overty-im-
delegates left the executive offices,
discouraged and disappointed because
they obtained no positive aid, they did
not know that the president himself
was depressed, perhaps even more than
family. He told his friends afterward
that he wishes he might help, but sees
no way to do IT. There is every reason
to believe, however, that the day gave
added stimulus to the presidents de-
sire for early legislation on social JUS
t1ce and industrial reform mentioned in
mis- first annual message. Five hundred
women-ol and young-most of them

five speakers, gained audience with me

HONORABLE MENTION
IBy Smith ID. EVIL

WASHINGTON, Feb, 19-When
Congressman Adamson and his com
mfttee visited Keokuk, the readers Of
The Daily Gate City were cold that
the gentleman from Georgia and Con-
|gressman Kennedy both belong in the
honorable mention class" OF con.
gressmen.
The statement should be amplified,
In order that 1t may be understood ana
fully comprehended.
At the behest Of President Wilson
the congress was kept in continuous
sessions during the greater part of
the last calendar year. Very recently
in a public address the great demo-
cratic leader, Speaker Champ Clark
stated that the long session was abso-
lutte folly; and that Is putting 1t
mildly.
But, the fact remains that the con-
gress was kept in Washington, nom
inally in daily session until within
two days OF Christmas. During the
last three months there was seldom
present a quorum 10 40 BUSINESS.
within the meaning of the constitu-
ton. Two hundred Of the representa-
tives took what we called in the war
days OF long ago. French leave" or,
as the boys and girls say at school,
they played hockey"
The roll was called every day, on
some point or another, ana tne record
was thus made, for all time. Those
who desire to do so can turn to the
pages of the Congressional Record
and find out who were always present,
and who were persistently or occas.
ionally absent.
Those members Of congress who
remained in Washington all of the
time, believing it to be their profess
sional and official duty to remain while
the congress was officially in session,
did 30 at great financial loss and great
personal Inconvenience. They knew
that they were on fools errand, but
they remained at their posts. II they
had not done SO, the man In the
white house might have traduced
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1914-02-19

them. as another man IN the white
house repeatedly did, not so many
moons ago.
Speaker Champ Clark remained at
his post, and by 30 doing he lost
many thousands OF dollars which
might have been earned by lecturing,
for he is in great demand on the lee
ture platform. Experienced as he is
in legislation, the speaker knew that
1t was expensive folly to hold the
house In session, technically, while
the senate INDUCED in debate; but he
submitted gracefully, lest his pur-
poses might be misunderstood and
misrepresented.
Congressman Kennedy, with less
than one hundred out Of four hun
bred and thirty-fve members, re-
NAMED in Washington, and answered
every roll call. It is an honorable
record. and worthy of honorable men
ton to all of the people. Ne neglect
ed his business at home and was q
loser financially, by remaining in
Washington, but the Record shows
that he was constantly present, ant
answering every roll call.
When the regular sessions of the
congress are held, it Is the duty O
every member to attend the sessions
and the same may be said concernins
the extra sessions But, when th'
congress is merely held in nomina
session, doing substantially nothing
day after day. the man deserves EN-
phatic honorable mention who quietl.
endures and unshrinkingly suffer
losses, needlessly. becadse Of tn
whim of one man in power.
This is not a partisan matter
Speaker Champ Clark and Judge Al
