mother lost her child and with it her
position as an honored member of
society. What was gained? The child
was given creature comforts and educa-
tion of a sort-but mingled with it all
was the stigma of having accepted char
ity, and the forfeit of home.
"Who pays the cost of maintaining
the institutions to which these children
are sent when they are taken from their
mothers?" asked Judge Neil of the pre-
siding judge in the juvenile court
''The county pays $40 month for
each child" replied the judge.
"Why not pay the $40 to the mother
and let her keep her child?" asked Judge
Neil
Because it wouldn't be legal" was
the prompt reply.
"Then let's make it legal" said Judge
Neil
And he did.
In March, 1911, he went before the
State Legislature of Illinois and per-
suaded it to pass unanimously law pro-
viding that parents who because of
poverty were unable to care for their
children were, nevertheless, in the
opinion of the court, the best guardians
for the children, and should themselves
receive the money paid by the state to
support their destitute children in their
homes.
The social justice of this measure
was obvious. Its efficiency as matter
of business was not evident at first.

and on these nights, by my order, The

The Crash

Alas, for this pleasant chapter! u
end was rapid.
There were three terms of court :
which women served as jurors. In l0
Judge Howe resigned, and Soutne''
judge, opposed to woman suffrage ~
women jurors, was appointed.
"Anothcr factor contributing to sn'
discontinuing of women doing ]up
duty" says the historian, "was w
fact that in an important murder tI's
held in Cheyenne two women serve
on jury, one of whom (the wife y

sat knitting, keeping time with the click
of her needles:
"Whoso sheddeth mans blood by man
shall his blood be she'd"
The news of the woman jury flashed
across the country and beyond. 1t is
pleasant to note, in the light of recent
history, that within day King William
of Prussia sent a congratulatory cable
to President Grant upon this evidence of
progress, enlightenment and civil lib
erty in America"
Newspaper men f1ocked into Lara

Suffrage, "and special artists for IL
Illustrated newspapers came with their
pencils and crayons, for this all hap
pened long before the day of the kodak
and conveniently portable cameras
Unfortunately the women would not
sit in body for their pictures, and
posterity cannot possess vision of
that first woman jury. The women
who were obliged to be in and out of
COulc edcH udy carrying DlliS were
target for the artists, who, not being
able to take photograph of the wom-
en- because they were heavily veiled,
produced them in caricature and for
warded them to the Eastern papers.
Some of these caricatures rerre-
sented the women carrying their
babies in their laps while doing iurv
duty, and couplets of all sorts were
invented, of which the following is
characteristic:
Baby, baby, don't get in a fury;

from these evils. I have long felt
that such powers of protection should
be conferred upon women, and it has
fallen to our lot here to act as pio-
neers and test the question.
"The eyes of the whole world are
today fixed upon this jury Of Albany
County. There is not the slightest
impropriety in any lady occupying
this position, and / wish to assure YOU
that the fullest protection of the
court will be accorded to you. 1t
would be Il most shameful scandal
that in our temple Of justice and in
our courts of law anything should be
permitted that the most sensitive lady
might not hear and witness with pro-
pricty. And here let me add that it
will be sorry day for any man who
shall so far forget the courtesy due
and paid by every American gentle
man to every American lady, as TO
ever by word or act cndepvor to deter
you from the exercise Of those rights

maintain the attitude that the conse-
quences of sin, if sin it was, shall be
visited on those who are not guilty 1t
is believed, and doubtless the belief is
largely justified, that the extending Of
financial aid in behalf of her child to an
unmarried mother will remove one of
the deterrents to immortality.
1t is necessary, of course, to consider
this factor; but the welfare of any baby,
legitimate or illegitimate, rich or poor,
IS, by virtue simply of the fact that it is
baby and represents the future, more
important than the morals or welfare of
any adult. Therefore it should be cared
for regardless Of it's antecedents, or the
effect upon it's mother, who is an adult
and thus represents, in part at least, the
past and not the future of the race.
Perhaps Of all the legislation affect
ing comparatively small class there
has been more discussion about the bill
of Assemblyman Mary M. Lilly of New
York, to give child born out of we'd
lock its fathers name and other rights
now denied. Perhaps the severest strict
ure visited upon the measure was the
pronouncement of the Bar Association
of the city of New York. Said the Bar
Association:
without passing on the question as
to what the rights of an illegitimate
child should be as against the putative
father, some of which can now be Sc
cured by means of bastardy proceedings,

on the jury we're inclined to ignore the
summons. Not theirs to shrek for any
duty not imposed upon them! We can
imagine the dismay, that afterward
turned to resolute determination, as
these serious-minded pioneer women
faced the ridicule of the saloon element.
and then saw in this suddenly acquired
duty the chance to clean up some of the
smirch on the decorum of their little
town. 1t was an opportunity not to be
declined by women of conscience.
How the "First Woman"
Took 1t

was the first woman served with the
summons.
Miss Stewart, you have the honor of
being the first woman ever called upon
to serve on court jury" said the sub
p9na server, with an eye to future his
torians.
Mrs. 1. n. Hartsough, wife of-.the
Methodist minister, was one of the first
jury to try murder case. The under
takers wife, Mrs. Martha 3oies Atkin-
son, was another member. She had
driven across the prairies with her hus-
band years before, and in the huddle Of
huts and shanties that made the first
Wyoming village she had often driven
the hearse when her husband was i'll.
The women answered their summons
for jury duty, with the intention as has
been said, of asking to be excused. They,
and the community as we'll, reckoned
without the stern sense Of the sacredness
OF law which actuated Judge J. II.
Howe. He made an address to the
timid recruits Of justice which entirely
changed their attitude.
New-York tribune., 1919-03-16
Does Our Mothers Pension System Go Far Enou

asylums or orphanages and cared for
by the state. But the subject is not
nearly so simple.
There are orphans, those who have
been bereft of both parents. and there
are half orphans, those who have lost
but one parent. Many institutions when
appealed to for shelter for half orphans
regretfully refuse their aid because their
rules specially provide for the payment
of reasonable board by the surviving
parent: and it does not always follow
that the surviving parent can or will
pay the amount!
ut is not infrequently serious
handicap to a child to have one parent,
in such cases, for instance, as where the
surviving parent is a drunken or worth
less father, or where the mother is un-
married and there is no legal claim
upon the father, he being invisible to
the law.
"Then there are children who wiz
survive all the hardships and reach ma
turity, to take place and part in the
affairs of the state according to oppor-
tunlty and station, who are the offspring
of foreign parents who failed to appre-
ciate the advantages of naturalization.
These children, if forced into the last
stages of destitution, must be taken into
institutions and must be cared for at
the expense of the state There is no
provision in the existing mothers pen
sion law for their maintenance in their
own homes. The law specifically saws
that only widows who are citizens for
two years of the county or city, and
whose husbands were citizens of this
country, are entitled to the poor relief
In New York, where there is so large
a foreign population, the problem of the
best way to deal with these destitute
widows who have children is one for
the contemplation Of lawmakers If
good citizenship is the prime desire in
their legislative enactments, then the
foreign mother as we'll as the citizen
mother must be helped to keep her
children with her and to bring them the
full measure of care and education due
citizens in the making"
Mrs. Bres is writing and will soon
publish a book on laws affecting children.
The First Mothers
Pension in America
In the spring of 1911 the first moth
ers' pension law was born and it's
father was Judge Henry Neil, of Chi
hn
like this:
Sitting in the juvenile court in Chi
cago, Judge Neil found that child after
child whose widowed mother was unable
to support it was wrenched from her
and sent to an institution Thereupon
the child was deprived of that price
less thing, mothers care, and the
New-York tribune., 1919-03-16

amount to the mother of less than it
would cost to maintain the children in
public institutions it is not only a hu-
name thing but public economy to grant
to needy widows who are mothers a
reasonable allowance to provide for
their children and to keep homes intact.
Instead of large proportion Of the
money appropriated by the state for
the support and maintenance of orphans
going to their actual relief and educa-
ton, when the fund goes to institutions
there are so many salaries paid for its
administration that by the time the child
is reached there is little left Seventy
six per cent is the proportion paid for
the administration of institutional
charity.
"The need Of institutions for the care
of destitute and dependent orphans,
those diseased or defective, is obvious,
but where the payment Of reasonable
amount to mother enables her to keep
her children with her and to care for
them with mothers care, then the best
interest of the state and nation is sub
served by such application of the public
funds.

The first case which came to the court
was one involving a murder during a
saloon braw. Six women and six men
comprised the jury.
Although murder ut that time was
not considered 80 serious matter as

nights the women and men of The Jury
