Mothers
Bill Is Pending
Before Congress
Measure Authorizes President
to Appoint Commission to
Inquire Into Child Poverty
Causes and Suggest Remedy
By JUDGE HENRY NEIL.
Father of Mothers' Pension Sys

WASHINGTON, April S.-Eigat hun
dred million dollars collected by taxa
zion was spent in the United States last
year to maintain institutions for de-
pendents and detectives. more than
double the cost OF ten years ago.
Seven hundred and fifty million dol
lars collected by taxation was spent for
free public schools in the United States
last year.
In 1892, in the city of Philadelphia,
some public-spirited citizens attempted
TO organize meeting to promote the
idea of free public schools, to be sup
ported by general taxation. They were
set upon by the police, beaten, thrown
INTO prison, called anarchists and unde-
sirables.
Some property owners said it was
confiscatiOn to tax one mans property
to pay for the education of another
mans children.
1t has since been thoroughly demon
strated that free public schools are the
most beneficial of all tax supported in
situations.
Last year over $1O,0O0,00O was paid
in mothers pensions in the twenty-six
states now operating this system of
abolishing child-poverty.
Congressman Heating and Senator
Kenyon have introduced into the house
and senate or the United states a Joint
resolution to authorize the president to
appoint a commission to inquire into the
causes of child-poverty and suggest
remedies therefore.
This commission will find some way
to abolish child-poverty and thereby
asve the taxpayers millions OF dollars
and will also find a way to save the
great waste of child life.
Half of the children born of parents
who are poor, die before they reach
school age, six years.
This, the richest country in the world
blessed with abundant natural resources
and a power of production unequaled in
he history of the human race, can abol-
ish child-poverty and at the same time
save the taxpayers millions of dollars
now being spent to care for dependents
od detectives who have been ruined by
child-poverty.
Those surviving child-poverty are the
weak physically, mentally and moral
ly) who fill our jails and asylums.
1 now ask every patriotic citizen to
write to his congressman and ask for a
copy of this resolution (known as H. 1.
Res. 1922 and then to ask his senator's
and congressman to aid in this attempt
to improve the health and happiness Of
the children of our country.

M'AFEE APPOINTMENT
Is HALTED BY SENATORS
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The nomi-
nation of Charles w. McAfee for post
master at Blue Ridge has caused flare
up in Fannin county, as result of which
Senators Smith and Hardwick have de-
cided to defer it's confirmation until
certain protestants can be heard Nc
Afee was nominated on the recommends
ton of Congressman Bell and the nomi-
tion came sooner than had been expect
ed, as it developed that the incumbent's
term expires on April 1, instead of In
July.
Mr.. Bell says he recommended McAfee
for appointment because he was the
unanimous choice of the patrons of the
office. William Butt and Representa-
tive Smith of Fannin county, however,
have made protests against the con-
firmation and the senator's will hold up
the nomination pending a showing BY
these gentlemen.

Zeppelins Found
Independent OF
Weather Condition

LONDON-(Correspo of the
Associated Press.-Figures prepared
by the British meteorological office show
that Zeppelins are to all intents and
purposes independent of weather condi-
tions.
Generally. the assumption has been
that Zeppelins are fair-weather craft,
and dare venture forth only in light airs
and on dark nights, that even moderate
winds were dangerous to them, and that
snow would be fatal. but every one of
these theories is disproved by the OF
fetal figures for the twenty-one occa-
sions on which they have visited Eng
land. The Zeppelins have come in vir-
tually every phase of the moon, from
new to full. They have had the wine
from every quarter of the compass, anC
with wind that has ranged from light
airs" to strong breeZes." The Their
mometer has ranged from freezing &c
sweltering summer heat. There have
been skies of every variety; there has
been mist on several occasions; rain
still more often. During the raid OF
March 5 there was winter weather o.
considerable severity with heavy snow
fall In progress and squalls of wind.
Bombs were dropped upon one town
during a snow squall so bitter that the
local papers spoke Of it as a blizzard"
The official wind figures show that two
raids took place in a wind OF twenty
FIVE TO thirty-one miles an hour.

New Coins.

Princeton, with the rest of the coun-
try, will soon be using the new coins
in the denominations of dimes, quar-
tiers and half dollars being turned out
by the government minis at the rate
of 100000 a day. A break in the
machinery Of the mint caused a slight
delay.
The 10-cent coins bear the figure of
a Grecian woman on one side and a
bundle of rods and the ak of the
Roman lictors on the other. The new
quarter-dollar pieces bear the stamp
on one side of the full figure of
woman coming through gate in
wall and an eagle in flight on the re-
verse. The 50-cent coin shows the full
length figure of the Goddess of Lib
erty, holding olive branches, and also
of an eagle with it's wings spread
standing on a rock.

An Interesting Contest.

There is an interesting contes for
county commissioner in the fifth COM
missioner district, Sherburne county.
The district comprises the towns of
Baldwin, Livonia, Orrock and the vii
lage of (Zimmerman) Lake Fremont.
Mr.. l.. F. Brown of Zimmerman is a
candidate, and his opponent halls from
the extreme western end of Orrock.
The Baldwin and Livonia people claim
that they have not had a fair deal in
the matter Of the division of county
and state road funds and that question
will enter largely into the fight. The
worst piece of road in Sherburne coun-
ty-the state road from Zimmerman
to Princeton-is located in the district
and it is to be hoped whoever is elected
will favor the permanent Improvement
of that much-traveled road.
