Indiana's Lazy-husband Law.

The Indiana senate has passed lazy-hus band
BILL which provides penalty OF $500 fine and inn
prieonment for the husband who neglccts TO sup
port his wife with necessary food clothing and
medical attention. his children under sixteen
years old. They may need such law in Indiana
where modern literature and all-thc year round
politics the great stable products, but ordi-
narily every community takes care Of such neg
lcct in lis way. In the village or country,
good, sharp edged rail with the lazy husband
astrdc has been more effective than law; and
where rails were scarce the town pump provided
good substitute, little tar and feathers. In
the larger communities the Police Courts and
the workhousc looked after such delinqucnts But
Indiana holds her literary genius in such high
esteem that it may be impractical to resort to the
customs of an age which lacked literary taste,
and State law may be necessary.
We predict trouble for the Hoosiers though
Who is going to decide as to tho kind of food
necessary, with srloin at 10 cents a pound and
chuck steak at less than half the price; whether
the wife shall have creamery butter or cleo:
whether in clothing there shall be a $40 Paris
hat or an Indiana Sunbonnct: silk cotton
gown; and for medical attention the high priced
specialist at S. visit, the old general prac-
titioner at so cents call.
The discouraging thing about this bill, how
ever. is the evidence it presents of reactionary
tendencies in Indiana politics. The Hoosier
State has long held place close up to Kansas
and Oregon in reform, where the people studied
and practiced politics every day in the year. Sum
days included. and the State has supplied moro
Vice Presidents than any other in recent years.
The President and Mr.. Bryan have only recently
gone to Indiana to sound Democratic keynotes,
and we had right to expect some really mo-
mentous lawmaking in Indiana, which would
show the country the road out of the wilderness
of doubt and uncertainty which prevails. But
here we have lazy-husband law as the best
Hooser legislative product which is calculated to
spread suspicion and bring men into court to ex-
plain why they are out of work and why they do
not support their wives as they did in the good
old days when Charley Fairbanks was Vice Pres
ident. and drank buttermilk and all Indiana was

When Curtis Knew Thoreau at

At a time when the late Parke Goodwin.

the midyears of the past century. WAS
\ narrating to me some of the incidents he
experienced while lecturing and some of
the chara cteristicS of the famous lee
turers Of that time. like Wendell Phillips.
| Henry Ward Beecher. Ralph Waldo
| Emerson and others, he spoke also of
George william Curtis as lecturer.
With Mr.. Curtis he had been associated
as editor of Putnam's Magazine. and it
occurred TO me to ask Mr.. Goodwin il ne
had ever heard Curtis refer to his life
in Concord. Mass. or to his association
there with Thoreau. I mentioned that
heard. while upon visit to Concord. that
Curtis had assisted Thoreau TO raze the
cabin which Thoreau built and in which
he dwelt on the shore of Walden pond. a
cabin which has since become historic
and whose location is now identified by
a large cairn consisting of boulders and
stones which have been deposited from
time to time by admirers of Thoreau.
Curtis occasionally spoke of his Con-
cord life,' said Mr.. Goodwin. Il recall
that Thoreau submitted some manu-
scripts to US for publication in Putnam's
Magazine and that led Mr.. Curtis to
speak somewhat reminiscently of him
and also of his own Concord life. At that
time however. Thoreau had not attained
the fame which after his death his writ
ings did secure for him. and | doubt il
Curtis then had the slightest idea that
Thoreau would become an American
classic. He spoke of Thoreau to me only
incidentally. and / don't recall that he
made any reference to the fact that he
was one of those who took part with
Emerson and Bronson Alcott in raZinS
the cabin which Thoreau built
He did. however. speak of his own life
in Concord. He was actually employed
there as "A farmland. That was after
he had shared in the famous and disaS-
trous Brook Farm community expert
mcnt.
1T is my impression that Curtis went
away from Concord before Hawthorne
returned there to live. AT all events. ]
never heard him say anything about an
association with Hawthorne or III the
way of recollection of the latter. lie did.
however, speak of the striking originality
Of thought and character which were
characteristic of SO many of the farmers
of Concord. | doubt if he had much as
sociation with Emerson. and he regarded
his farm life in Concord as a sort of aD-
premiership. for it was not necessary for
him to undertake farming in order TO
make a livelihood
Il think that some years after Tho
reau's death Curtis began to have high
and full appreciation of him, of his work
and of his purpose" aud | suspect that he
occasionally looked back with fond recol-
'"ction upon such association as he had
with him.
