names of Representatives Edward Simon
of Douglas and Edwin Jeary of Lam
caster" That action is recorded on page
797 of the House Journal OF the 1918 Leg
islature and IL constitutes the deliberate
opinion OF the Legislators themselves as to
who was entitled to credit for the enact
ment of this statute.
The house record further shows that
Mr.. Simon was excused by the speaker
from attending the session OF Thursday,
March 81, in order to attend to private
business. That day the mothers pension
bill came up for final passage. Had there
been a fight upon 1t the customary house
courtesy would have caused vote to be
postponed until Representative simon's
return. There was no such opposition,
however, and no particular need of Mr..
Simon's attendance. II, therefore, passed
in his absence, by vote OF 90 TO 0.
The motive for Mr.. simon's support of
the anti-loan shark bill is something on
which he alone can be an authority. The
fact known to the public, as borne out by
the testimony of men attending the legis-
lhture, is that Mr.. Simon made one OF the
most vigorous single fights OF the legisla-
tive session for the anti-loan shark bill.
Il was bitterly opposed by an active
minority, but the record vote on third
reading showed 60 in It's favor to FL
against II Mr.. Simon at any time wished
the defeat of his own bill, his work on the
floor OF the house was not in accordance
with that desire.
It should not be necessary in any cam
paign to eXaggerate the merits or faults OF
any candidate, but no campaign outside of
Utopia will probably ever be conducted on
that plane. Mr.. Simon erred somewhat In
not confning HIS claim to the honor OF
being zone OF the introdueers." instead Of
being "the author" But his opponents
have erred more In attempting, by inu-
endo II not directly, to cheat him out of
all credit for his good work Edward
Simon knew in childhood what II means
to fight the hard battle with poverty, and
sold newspapers on the streets of Omaha.
This fact affords ample explanation OF his
earnest support of the measures men
toned.

south side Bohemian Club Says He Is
Author of the Mothers Pension Law.
At a meeting OF the South Side Citizens
Bohemian club Thursday night the follow
ing preamble and resolution were adopted:
Whereas, Certain statements have beon
publicly made by some of the candidates
for city commissioner and their supporters
and have appeared In our public press TO
the effect that Edward Simon, one OF the
candidates for the office of city commits
sioner, was not the author and introducer
of the mothers pension law as passed Dy
the state legislature OF 1918, and that he
was not influential in securing the pas
sage of this bill; and,
whereas, The official records of the
proceedings OF the 1919 legislature show
that Edward Simon, as a house member OF
that legislature, introduced House Roll No.
90, his own bill, which was the first
mothers pension bill to be presented dur
ing that session, In In substance the one
to be enacted into law; and.
Whereas, The Bohemian citizens and
business men of Omaha are personally ac-
quainted with Edward Simon and have
known him from the time he lived in the
Bohemian district to be a man of unques-
tionable honesty and integrity; and,
Whereas, These charges against Ed
ward Simon were called to the attention

Resolved. by the undersigned commit

The WorId-HeraId;
In Fairness to Simon.

Although this newspaper is not support
ing the candidacy of Edward Simon, for
city commissioner, 1t is compelled by q
sense of justice to condemn the misguided
accusations of his opponents against the
sincerity OF his statement of his own legis-
lative record.
Mr.. Simon has claimed credit for the
enactment of the mothers pension law
and tho anti-loan shark law. His op-
ponents read from the official record to
prove that the mothers pension law was
introduced by Senator Robertson OF Holt
county, and that Mr.. Simon did not vote
for 1t ON final passage. They further
charge that Mr.. Simon at one time wished
to drop his anti-loan shark bill, but was
pressed on by fear of public censure IL he
did
Mr. Simon is not entitled TO sole credit
for the mothers pension law, no more
than is any single legislator ordinarily a
Just claimant to entire credit for any
measure. Senator Robertson, Representa-
tive Jeary, other legislators and number
of social settlement workers had part in
obtaining It's passage. But Mr.. Simon's
part was as important, II not more so, than
that OF any OF these and was recognized as
such by his fellow legislators. whose word
on the subject is probably the best evil
dence' Of what occurred.
At least three mothers pension bills
were introduced In the 1913 legislature.
Senator Robertson's passed the senate be-
fore the house acted on either the bill IN
trodueed by Representative Simon or that
introduced by Representative Jeary. The
house committee thereupon held public
hearing at which all three bills were con
sidered, and at which Mr.. Simon presented
his views. The committee eventually rec
ommended that the Robertson bill be
somewhat amended, to meet the ideas Of
others interested in mothers pensions, ana
be passed. a procedure acceptable TO Mr..
Simon and in accordance with legislative
custom.
The house adopted this report, which
included an amendment TO add TO the sec
ton naming the introdueers OF the bill the

vote-hunting sharpshooters on the po-
litical firing line are expected to use any
missile within reach, but in all fairness
to former Representative Edward Simon,
the public is entitled to know that the as
sault to discredit his sponsorship of the
mothers pension law is contradicted by
the official record.
While no member of the legislature of
two years ago had any monopoly on the
introduction of mothers pension measures
any more than on any other subject, Mr.
Simons bill, House Roll No. 96, was the
first to be presented, and In substance the
one to be enacted. Everyone familiar with
legislative procedure knows that where
bills on the same subject are introduced
simultaneously in both houses the speedy
achievement of the desired result is ex-
pedited by acceptance by one house OF the
framework of the measure passed by the
other, and this is what happened with the
mothers pension bill. The senate file
coming across before the house had acted
upon the house bills, was amended by in
cooperating the additional features of the,
bills introduced by Representatives Simon
and Jeary, and by an extraordinary action
recognition was given to the two mothers
pension champions in the house by Bpe-
officially adding their names as Joint in
PRODUCERS.
The record is found on page 797 Of the

II the record is the best evidence this
should be conclusive aside from the fact
that those trying to disparage Mr.. Simon's
work have waited two years to discover
that he had no part In procuring the pas
sage of law for which his colleagues in
the legislature themselves at the time
gave him his full share OF credit.

CRIPPLE ARTIST
TEACHING WOUNDED
GERMAN SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, June 25.-One Of the most
useful officials engaged in assisting
and teaching crippled soldiers is the
well-known artist Unthan, who was
born without arms, but who neverthe-
less has become remarkable violin
player, painter and an expert
swimmer.
Unthan is a firm believer in SWIM
ming as an aid to the physique of the
crippled and maintains that arms are
really a hindrance rather than help
in the water. He recently lectured to
a group of persons interested in car
ing for crippled soldiers, and then
gave an exhibition of his remarkable
armless swimming. He is being
pointed out as an example of courage
and independence to be followed by
the German soldiers invalided back

buildings will be put in holiday at

pany from now until the day of the
celebration, and Americus will truly
have on her best togs.
1t does not take an experienced dec
orator to see the difference between
professional decorating and amateur
decorating, if they will look at the
work that is being done on Lamar
street. The Commercial City bank is
decorated in the most artistic style
possible, and is beautiful to behold.

Other stores in this block that are
finished are Churchwell's, SiiIs', B. 4
B. Cafe, and Hooks Pharmacy. The
work will be pushed as fast as possi-
BILE until all the stores and bublic
buildings are decorated.
Let the Times Recorder remind the
ladies' again that they should have
their homes decorated and thus com
plete the handsome picture of the
prettiest city in southwest Georgia.
You can decorate your home as low as
