Spokane, Wash.-Organize char
ity opposes mothers pensions and
has found way to hamstring this
legislation was the charge made by
Judge Henry Neil, of Chicago, in a
speech to churchmen in this city.
Judge Neil is known as the originator
of mothers pension law. He said:
"In New York, Illinois, Minnesota
and nearly all the other mothers pen
sion states" said the speaker, Organ
lied charity has induced the legisla-
lures to prevent deserted mothers get
ting pensions on the plea that pen
sions to such mothers would increase
desertions.
1T is well demonstrated fact that
charity gets most of its funds by ap-
peals based on the destitution and
suffering of innocent children, so if
all poor children were taken care of
by the mothers pension system. pub
licly administered, there would be
little suffering left.
"Now, when mother and her chill
dren are deserted, organized charity
sends out begging letters telling of
their great distress and asking rich
people to send money to help relieve
the distress, deploring the fact that
these mothers cannot get a pension
when charity itself went to the legis-
lature and prevented her getting a
pension.
Surely, charity does not claim that
it provides the same amount as the
pensions, for then there would be no
reason for charity preventing the des-
titute deserted mother and her chill
dren getting the pensions, except to
| get the rs per cent rake-off. l ash
why pauperize the deserted motheri
Will some expert please answer
why?"

tice. Against that day. repeat. we
must prepare. This blessed old repub-
lie cannot exist without a high stand
ard of citizenship and a high standard
of citizenship cannot be maintained
except through a high standard of
wages for labor"
The usual attractions of the park
were we'll patronized, dancing being
engaged in in the afternoon and even
ing. special program of sports af-
ter the speaking and until o'clock
delighted the audience. There were a
number of girls in the peanut race,
which proved very amusing feature.
Mary Foley took first prize and Verde
Cord the second each being awarded
a pound box OF delicious candy do
mated by the Brady Candy company.
Then followed the nail driving con-
test in which dozen ladies parti-
pated, and evidently they had all
been practicing for the event, as each
drove two dozen nails with hardly a
slip or miss lick. Miss Mary Peters
secured the pair of shoes offered by
the Hubert Shoe company for the
first prize and Mrs. Frank Kern took
the second prize, a sack of Silver
wreath Flour from the Falk Mercan-
tile company.
! The air gun offered by the Blake
Variety Store for the winner in the
boys apple eating contest was cap
tured by Justice Stamper with Vic
ktor Cameron a close second.
The creased pole which leaned out
over the lake proved too much for the
contestants and the frequent falls
proved most mirth-proviking. A con-
sultation of war was finally held by
the contestants who drew lots for
position and Justice Stamper won by
reaching the end and received a hat
donated by Zimerman for first prize.
There being no entry for the fat
mems race it was changed to a free

easily came in a winner. being award
ed the box of cigars given by the Muir
Iphey Cigar company.
The pushmobile race was the big
sporting event of the day. as 1S teams
were contesting. The large number
engaged made it necessary to conduct
the race on Warm ags avenue
in front of the park, and the teams
were divided into two relays. In the
first race of half the teams, Leo La
Frank and Victor F. Cameron came
lin winners, with Dave Mcfarland and
Everett Ruick second. Cameron, who
was pusher for his team gave a
mighty push just at the close which
swept him from his feet and brought
the mobile in ahead with him sprad-
died out in 'front.' much to the amuse-
ment of the crowd. For the second
half, Henry Pearl and Roscoe Hickey
were first and two other teams tied
for second place. In the final race
John Henry Pearl, aged 10 and Rocco
Hickey, aged IL were winners, and
Leo LaFrank and Victor F. Cam

When one of the paid apologists of
the Rockefellers recently made the
statement that those individuals own
ed only minority interest in one
small mine in Colorado, it may have
been technically true. ButRockefel-
Ter is one of the largest owners in the
coal carrying roads, and that is the
great element of profit. But there is
little room to doubt that he also owns
and controls most of the mines. 1t
has always been the purpose of these
particular monopolists to keep out of
the line of criticism as much as pos
sible and they did not enjoy the pub
licity they were getting in Colorado.
If they were not financially interest
ed in these fields, why were they in
terested? AS matter of sentiment?
Not hardly. Your uncle John d. Sr.
is enjoying better health considering
his age than any of the great finan-
ciers, whom he has outlived by several
years, and he is interested" in Colo
rado-in the only way any of his class
are ever interested in anything-in the
profit in dollars and cents that he
takes out of it.
When John R. Lawson was released
I it was surrender to public sentiment
and when Judge Hillyer was disbarred
from trying labor cases it was a mat
ter to quash and silence attention to-
the Colorado affair, which had COM
menced to become nuisance. John
! D. probably wants some more plumsi
in Colorado and he wants to slip into
possession of it easily instead of fight
ing in the open to hold what he has.
Standard Oil Johnny is the black
lantern artist of business and has
about as much love for light as a
cock-roach. Lawson will finally be
completely vindicated because there
was no case against him, but as he had
ability and brains his confinement
probably accomplished Rockefeller's
purpose and temporarily got rid of a
man who was always digging up pri-
vate ''plants" steereB by John D.
and let the country know where the
billionaire was trying to get another
gold mine in the form of great natural
resources.

There are a few people in the East
who are attempting to make fad out
of the model city" idea and talk
about restricting the growth of cities
to limit of thirty thousand people.
This is folly.
There is no way to put an artificial
limit on the growth of city and there
should be none. What is needed is
to take the restrictions off agricultur-
al growth, destroy monopoly, improve
social conditions in this country and
the surplus of population will grad
ually turn toward the country. What
is needed again is thinking in terms
of agriculture and an educational
system that does not regard agricul-
ture as a disgraceful occupation.
But it is laughable, this idea OF att
tempting to depophlate such cities
as Chicago artificially, because such
cities would be naturally centers OF
great population under any system.
/ 1nEy nave lHG NlApio9thS NuPASANy
and with the equitable distribution of
wealth and general expansion in i'm
dustry would grow more rapidly than
ever. But there would be no SUR
plus population because all who want
ed employment would find it.
Under a governmental system Of
railroads, administered by friends of
the people, there would be no over
supply of laborers in any city because
there would be perfected organiza-
ton of distribution and extremely
low rates, where passage would not
be free. Under present methods there
lis no attempt on the part OF the
authorities in control of the railroads
to prevent congestion in the cities be-
cause there is an affinity of interest
between those who make BY con-
gestion in lowering the wage rate and
those who own the railroads. But
there is also discrimination between
cities in rates that have artifcially
been made to advance in undo pro-
portion thru private incentive Of rail-
road officials who have an interest
in building up one city at the expense
