deem, who has held the post for nine
years. Lord Wimborne will take office
on February II.
The change in the lord lieutenancy

circles of ireland, for while Lord and
Lady Aberdeen devoted much of their
time to charitable work it is expected
that the new occupant and his wife Will
revive the social clories % Dublin Cas-

and other sports.
Lord Wimborne is best known in
America as the man who took the in
ternational polo cup back TO England
last June. The hostility he encoun-

almost reached the point Of a scandal.
As it was. he had TO bring over an in

their alliances in the Nottingham Club
refused to let certain players take part
in the expedition.
Lord Wimborne is the eldest son OF
the first baron of the name, but as the
Right Hon. Ivor Churchill Guest he
himself was created baron in 1910,
before the death Of his father. He
chose the ancient title OF Lord Ashby
St. Ledgers and thereby antagonized
many of the old families. There was
much criticism on every hand, and in
many quarters Lord Wimborne was
never forgiven. He was regarded as a
social climber by some. and he was &C
cused Of taking interest in polo only
TO achieve social recognition.
As first cousin 10 Winston Churchill.
Lord Wmborne naturally had strong
spokesman for his cause IN the Cabinet.
and his victory is not surprising. The
new Lord Lieutenant was by no means
outside the pale of the court, for as
Privy Councillor and Lord in Waiting

but with powerful friends IN the high
places he was able TO withstand the
coolness of his colleagues.
Lord Wimborne was born on January
is 1873. He was educated at Eton and
Trinity College. Cambridge. and when
twenty five years old he contested the
Parliamentary seat of Plymouth. About
this time he became captain or the
Dorsetshire Imperial Yeomanry, and
when the Boer war broke out he served
in South Africa with no little distinc-
ton. He won a Queens medal with
three clasps.
After the war he returned to England

seat from 1900 to 1906 During the
four succeeding years he represented
the Cardiff district. In 1910 he was
made a Privy Councillor as well as
Paymaster General. post which he oc-
oupied for two years. Later he was
made chairman of the Royal Commits

MOTHERS PENSIONS
A LAW.
Governor Whitman Signs the Bill
Using Seven Pens.

ALBANY, April S.-The McCue wild
owed mothers pension bill became
law when Governor Whitman signed it
at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
governor used seven pens to make his
signature, distributing them as mcmen-
los to women interested in the reform.
The measure provides for the crca-
ton Of local boards of child welfare In
counties and in the city of New York.
The amount of money to be distributed
and the question of who are deserving
widows are left to the determination OF
local authorities.
The bill tends toward the preserva-
tion and protection Of the home" ac-
Cording to a statement issued by Gov
ernor Whitman. "A careful trial of the
proposed scheme may be made without
a serious burden upon the localities.
The bill gives opportunity to provide for
the maintenance of dependent children
in the homes OF widowed mothers,
where 1t would otherwise be necessary
to provide for them In institutional
homes. ] am convinced that the possi-
hility Of this accomplishment renders
necessary the approval of this bill.
1T Is a familiar and well-establshed
rule governing the custody of child
that the welfare of the child Is the
primary consideration. II the mother
of child is competent and suitable
person to be intrusted with its care and
custody the homo of the mother is the
proper place for him.
