"Old Abe" Involved
In Scandal, Says Report

Milwaukee, Wis, April 22.--"Old
Abe" the famous eagle who vics with
Uncle Sam and Miss Columbia as Il
symbol of our nation, is involved in a
scandal. The worst of it is, there seems
to be some basis for it.
"Old Abe" went to war with the
Eighth Wisconsin infantry. The Eighth
was very proud of him and he was evi-
IDENTIFY fond of the Eighth, for some.
times he would absent himself for two
or three days but never failed TO turn
up when the regiment was ordered to
move. On several occasions in battle he
scared above the two lines, screaming
his defiance to the Confederates and
his encouragement to the Eighth. For
years after the war his attendance at
soldiers reunions was demanded not
only in Wisconsin, but as far east as
New York.
A few days ago taxidermist pre-
scnted the state with a bald eagle Of
the same family that cold Abe"
hailed from. Now comes the scandal.
The taxidermist, who is perfectly famil-
lar with birds, when told that his gift
was not as big as "Old Abe" said, "T

the male bird is never so large as the
female. -

IN RELATION TO THE NEW FAMILY
 DESERTION AND NONSUPPORT LA N

six children near Avondale having lost his wife some months before. decided to desert the family. He left note ad- dressed to the eldest boy, then II, which read as follows:
 Dear Son--I tell you good-by. Put the children in the Mercy Home and you go to the reform school. Your father.
 and so he left them high and dry for the state to care for, the man absolutely re- lieved of any responsibility whatsoever.
 Authorities hearing of the case investi- gated. The man could nce be found, so the small children were placed in the Mercy Home and the boy sent to the East Lake school.
 Possibly with some paternal feeling still left, the father after several months decid- ed to visit his children at the Mercy Home Here he was arrested by the juvenile court probation officer who had been summoned by the matron of the home. and after an arrest was put to work on the county roads for year and a day sentence he served This was all the court could do; in fact, all that could be done, and the arrest was absolutely no aid to the family. An aunt in the coun- try would gladly have taken them all for a small remuneration but it could not be gotten and except for the moral ef- feet and the emphasis of the obligation on the father there was no benefit to any one.
 Here is where the elasticity and benefit of the new law comes in. Should that same father be sentenced under present conditions, the 50 cents per day paid by
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-10-10

"Yes, we have the finest laws cover Ing juvenile courts and one of the best honsupport laws in the country said Judge s. D. Murphy as he searched Through great stacks of typewritten Brindley bill, as the nonsupport bill was known to the legislature.
 And then he went on to explain the workings of the bill and to our surprise we found it was not at all difficult thing to understand when you get out the meat in the cocoanut' and get away from the technical terms
 The nonsupport or desertion bill is patterned after the bill of William Il. Baldwin, a recognized authority on the subject. Under the law the probate court, which also works now as ju- venile court, becomes a court of do- mestic relations. The law covering de- sertion is applicable to both father and mother guilty of neglect to pro- vide for the family of children under I16 years of age.
 In speaking of the elasticity of the law Ralph Barrow. the juvenile court clerk, makes the following very com prehensive statement:
 The law is very elastic in that it departs from the narrow criminal methods and allows the offending de- serter to be brought into the court on service of summons, thus preserving as Friendly an attitude between him and he law as his attitude will allow
 If in the judgment of the officer of the court the deserter will not come In, then he may be placed on bond to |hppear or be incarcerated in the usual Enanner. Further, after conviction in- stead of sending him to jail to work pn the county road at the nominal sum [of 50 cents per day, the court may lake advantage of his maximum earn Ing capacity and place him on proba- ion in his own home working at his own trade.
 In aggravated cases, where the de- Ferter would not be amenable to any Friendly constructive methods, he may be sentenced to the penttentiary xand he state pays the family 50 cents per Hay for their maintenance.
 X One of the chief weaknesses of most Flaws of this kind is that there is no way to bring back a parent who might be placed on probation and who at Tempted to evade its responsibilities by
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-10-10

the state for the upkeep of the family
 would go to the aunt or some person pro-
 vided by the court to care for them, UT
 the father, out on bond, would have to work and earn money to support the family, this money being paid direct to the court or to some guardian of the children. If the father, under any cir
 cumstances, decided to skip the bond. !" the money from the bond will be paid | az upkeep for the family.
 The amount of money collected by the courts for this provision, taken for the care of the families amounts to large sums and shows from an economic point of view the direct benefit of the desertion and nonsupport law upon the state. At the rate of 50 cents per day in the District of Columbia, in eight years there was only the comparatively small expendi- ture of s24475.50 while the portion col lected by the courts from the men under suspended sentences, and given to the support of the families amounted to $267,- 6S41 This is conclusive evidence of the | benefit of such legislation and that 1t is good business.
 | Probably, however the greatest asset in relation to the law is the moral effect. Poverty and neglect are dual force that will undoubtedly create hate and dissat- isfaction. The neglected, unkempt home is the cause of endless numbers of III, comes inevitable.
 It Is one of the great social evils and ! must be checked by social agencies. When the family is united by the state, and the father and mother no longer estranged, now begin to build up for the mutual benefit of the home and the l family, even with the arm of the law urging them on, the man takes on a new attitude of self-respect and the wom- an. grateful for the release from the awful struggle and appreciative of the effort-lends her encoura cement and the reunited family become a direct source of good With a reorganization of domestic
 relations. renewed self-respect, a de- sire for work is reborn and the service | of this act of the law upon the part of the state is manifold.
 That the world is beginning to recog- nize it's social obligation to human be- ings is to be seen on every side, the lnonsupport law Is therefore manifes- l tation of the acknowledged social obliga tion of the court to society.
 That it's economic value is great has been shown by the one example given and can be shown conclusively by num- berless others, and there chn be no doubt that it's moral value will be everlast- ing. -
 The basic principles of the new law
 are reorganization and cooperation. These
 are the backbone and sinew of the new
 order of society.
 The conservation of the home is the
 highest ideal. Through this channel
 comes the conservation of the child and
 the evolution of the good citizen
 Much of the credit of this work must
 be given to Judge Murphy for the study
 and thought he has put into it. The law
 is effective and has put Alabama on a
 plane with states that are regarded at
 the topnotch in this kind of reform. And
 to MT. Brindley. the author of the bill.
 is due much of the success of its pas
 sage.
