ers' pension act for consideration,
Senator Walker reviewed at length
the growth Of mothers pension sys-
TENS in many states. Senator Murphy
was Of the opinion, he said, that the
act would encourage anything but
thrift and those whom 1t is intended
to aid will only take advantage of the
provisions Of the act and be less thrifty
and more idle. Senator Cole delivered
an eloquent appeal for the measure.
declaring it an important part Of the
human welfare legislation which is
sweeping the country. He pointed out
that thousands Of worthy men with
splendid families are now thrifty saw
ing and carrying on their comfortable
homes, but are unable to make pro-
visions against the conditions that
will surely arise when the husband
and provider is taken away. He call
ed attention to the fact that $4,000
was being appropriated for a woman's
reformatory and declared that the
mothers pension bill was to provide
aid that would in many cases keep
worthy women from the necessity Of
the care Of the reformatory. The bill
passed to be engrossed without objec-
ton.

Senator Fulton moved the indefi-
mite poetponement of the Osteopath
bill which provides a board Of exam
ination and registration for Osteo-

the floor against the motion and in
favor Of the bill. The motion to post
pone indefinitely was lost by vote
Of Is to IA. President Hersey voting to
break a tie. After the vote was an
nounced Senator Moulton asked to
have his vote changed from Yes to
No, but the Chair ruled it could not
be changed after the result of the vot-
ing had been announced.
Sen. Murphy Lost Twice
Senator Murphy was defeated by
vote Of II to when he moved to re-
commit the resolve in favor Of St.
Joseph's Home. Senator Emery pro-
tested against the action proposed.
Senator. Murphy lost another little
skirmish when he moved the indefi-
mite postponement Of the bill provid-
