PAYING
FOR BABIES.

THE province of Saskatchewan pays
a woman $25 every time she gives
birth to a child. Inc pays the physic-
ian SIS. In this, as in many other
matters, Canada is ahead of the Uni.
ted States. Eventually every civilized
country will probably decide to pay
mothers or babies-not as bounty
money" but as a natural and proper
expense to be borne by the state.
There are European countries that
do SO now. The practice is pretty sure
to become general among the bellig.
erent powers. after the war, in their
efforts to repair their losses from
slaughter.
The present system Is ~unudenibaly
unfair. Men and women are taught
that it is their duty, as good citizens,
10 rear families for the state, and then
the state penalties them for doing so.
The more parents do for the commun-
ity in producing healthy and we'll
reared children, the harder time they
have OF it. The community pats them
on the back, and then looks on com.
p~lacently while they shoulder the ever.
increasing burden. While they are
contributing the community's greatest
asset, he community's taxes press up.
on them more INT more heavily.
Every phase of our taxation system Is
harder on the married man than the
single man, and harder on parents
han on childless couples.
Even our federal income tax falls
short of justice of $4,000 n year for
single citizens, but it makes no dis.
tinction between childless families and
families with many children. Most
governments abroad allow an added
exemption for every child.
AS for the money paid to women
bearing children, it is not merely an
act of Justine to them, especially
when they are poor, but an act of
communal common sense. II insures
hat the mother will have decent medi.
cal attention, and that in the first crit
ical weeks of the child's life, at least,
il will have proper care and nourish-
ment. Surely a truly enlightened state
can do no less than that.

II JONAH
A

WHETHER the whale really swal.
lowed Jonah, and whether, If he did,
he regurgitated the timorous prophet
in good condition, is a question that
has ceased to agitate most people. The
general public isn't greatly concerned,
either, as to whether Samson actual.
~ helped the Israelites to their place
in the sun by Staying 10000 Philis.
tines with the jawbone of an ass, or
whether an authentic Mother Eve,
dwelling in an original Garden of Ed.
en-, was tempted by a ~sure-enough ser.
pent.
Not that people are not interested
in religion nowadays. But they simp.
ly don't care for such discussions as
they used to. when the higher criti.
cism' first undertook to poke holes in
the Scriptures.
But o the old controversy has bro.
ken u all over again in q Chicago
training school for missionaries. Many
of the students have felt, because they
object to the liberal teaching of their
instructors concerning Jonah, Samson,
ct al. They don't want to be told that
the story of Jonah Is an allegorical
one, intended to teach what will hap.
pen to man who tries TO run away from
duty. They want their Samson a hero
battling for the Lord instead of n my.
thical cousin OF the Greek Hercules.
They don't want any hIgh.brow pratt.

Even riding" couldn't get results
from some of the athletes, protected
by iron-clad contracts and secure in
the power of these agreements. He
is said to have wrecked the efficiency
of his pitching staff.
But these critics haven't seen a
pitcher give one base on balls in 18
innings = that intentional - and his
next time out stake the opposition to
nine passes in nine rounds. They
haven't seen several woozy occur
rences that have been prominent in
the Club play.
Bresnahan has only asked that his
fellows go about their work with
some earnestness and determination.
He has expected them to win games,
because they were capable of it when
stacked against the rest of present
National league. He has worked hard
himself and has desired the same
service from his underlings. And he
has received that assistance from
only few.
McGraW, now that Merkle and
Doyle are playing bang-up ball, has
team that looks better on paper than
the Cubs. And he has made sorry
showing. But no one is blaming Nc
Graw. He has had more to work with
than Bresnahan and hasn't made as
good a showing.
If Detroit could play the White Sox
for the rest of the season Jennings
would have a fine chance of landing
his team ahead of the Red Sox in Oc-

South Siders fall just enough to
let the Tigers slide through to VIC
tory.
The pitchers fail to puzzle the Tiger
batters and the fielders chuck in some
weird stuff now and then to help swell
the alien run column. Scott and Benz
were maced yesterday, Scott being
