HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
SHOULD FIRST Be ASSURED
WOMAN WHO RISKS DANGER
OF CHILD-BEARING is MA
TONS BENEFACTOR
(By Associated Press.)

San Francisco Cal, Aug. 6.-The
mother who risks her life to produce
child does as great a service for the
state as the man who kills some other
monther's son in defense of it, accord
ing to a paper by DR.. Lydia Allen
DeVilbiss, in charge of the Kansas de-
partment of child hygiene, which was
read before the National Conference
of Race Betterment, here today. Such
being the case, Doctor DeVilbiss' pa
per pointed out, both the mother and
the child has right to proper environ
ment.
"Pesudo economists and moralists
deprecate women for their refusal to
bear children" said the paper "Ap-
parently there is no response with
higher birth rate. Why should there
be? If the would-be reformers were
to direct their energies in making
conditions better for mothers to bring
children in TO the world and to rear
them to efficient manhood and wo-
manhood, the women should certainly
be more likely TO respond cheerfully.
Given reasonable exonomi
security and a worthy husband, the
right sort of women will bear children
that will be a credit to themselves and
the country. And as for those who
would still refuse when conditions ara
favorable and right perhaps the worlu
is just as well off without their chill
dren.
Besides, the child has his right in
the matter. He has the right to In
telligent consideration before he is
born, even before he is conceived. He
has the right to be loved even before
he is born And the child who is
created in love, nursed in love and
reared in love. is indeed happy child.
Those who are not are to be pitied for
they have been sinned against griey-
ously.'
Infant mortality rates in civilized
countries vary from one in four or
five to one in eighteen or twenty it
was pointed out Perhaps two-thirds
of these deaths are due to improper
feeding and care, DR.. Devilbiss as
serted.
"The thousands of babies that are
born annually only to sicken and die
represent an appalling economic and
social waste" she continueds ITO
take care OF those that are born rep
resents, then, the first task Of child
hygiene bureaus.
"Of those who die from other
causes than improper feeding and
care, large percentage of the deaths
might have been prevented by wider
and application of the laws

{ EXCISE BOARD
TAKEsuP MA TER
Of CITY BUDGET
CONFLICTING LAWS ADD TO
BOARDS WORRY; ATTY.
GEN. TO DECIDE

At meeting of the county excise
board held Friday morning the mat
ter of the rate of the city tax levy
was fully discussed. City ccmmis-
sloners were present, also represen-
tatiyes of several large corporations
and other heaRy taxpayers. Under
the present law the board was advis-
ed by County Attorney Arthur Swank
that the total levy for city purposes
must not exceed six mills. Repre-
sentatives of the city contend that
while the law specifies that as the
limit it also provides that after the
estimate has been made there must
be an additional ten per cent levied
to offset the delinquent taxes,
This is the basis for their contea
ton for total levy of 6.6 mills. The
straight six mill levy would provide
$28,636 as the total city ileyy, but
the added ten per cent which must
be levied to provide against the de-
linquent taxes, would amount to $2,-
S6S, or total of $31 ,469, or levy
of Sc mills. But of this total of $3l,-
469 the city commissioners could not
legally contract to spend but the or
iginal six mill levy, or the $2S,636.
The city levies in recent years
have been made on varying basis,
any two years being on the same

who has had personal charge Of the

The Rorabaugh syndicate have
great confidence in the business acu-

him in absolute control of the bust

1t is not positively certain as yet
that the Brown Store here will be
moved to Oklahoma City. Much OF

ADMITTED HAD ATTACKED
MORE THAN SCORE WOMEN
WAS AW ATTN G TRIAL
CHARGED WITH MURDER
or TWO WOMEN

Special to The Daily Leader.
Shawnee, Okla, Aug. Ed Berry,
notorious negro, charged with fhe
commission of numerous atrocpus
crimes, was taken from the officers
by an orderly crowd of determined
citizens this morning and lynched
The mob took the negro to the
scene of his latest crime and hung
him to tree.
Just before he was strung up, the
negro admitted that he had killed
the two women for which he was ar
rested and boasted that he had also
made attacks on twenty other wom-
en-.
Berry was bad man and had
reputation for killing before coming
to Pottawatomie county
1T is now quite certain that it was
he who killed two women found dead
in a field here some months ago.
When the mob approached the jail
they demanded the negro; the sher-
iff refused and the mob rushed him.
Not a shot was fired or an unneces-
sary word spoken.
The members of the mob were qui-
etly determined and executed the ne
gro without demonstration.
A written confession, it Is said was
secured from the negro, before he
was lynched. sEswME
