Eighteen months have passed
since woman suffrage was won in this
state, but the bill giving women the
right to sit on juries is still languishing
in committee in Albany.
1t WAS not so in the brisk Wild West
In Wyoming, fifty years ago, jury duty
not only came with the franchise; it
went before it. The first woman jury
i in the world had convicted a murderer,
after prayers led by the wife of the
Methodist minister, six months before
any woman had chance to vote.

Alien Women
Not Protected

''The present law, however, grants no
relief to women who have been deserted
by their husbands, or whose husbands
are in jail or in insane asylums, or for
other reasons are unable or unwilling to
give them support" says Mrs. Rose Falls
Bres, lawyer and author of several
books on laws affecting women. "Also
there is no relief for women who are not
citizens of this country as we'll as of the
state. Yet the children in all of these
cases necessarily become charge upon
the public if their restitution reaches
the last stage, and if they are not given
aid at the time when they need educa-
ton but are forced by privation to work
or to the shelter of institutions, they are
prevented from becoming good citizens;
and thus it is the state which suffers

best for children. When that home life
may be preserved by the payment of an

tributed by philanthropists-a total of
$1,000 0O-to maintain $4,000 chill
dren in institutions. Under the pension
system it costs $1O,000,00O to care for
100000 children in their own homes,
and the saving of their pride, and the
warmth of love that cannot be bought,
are thrown in gratis.
In other words, a child in its home
costs one-third as much as child in
an asylum-and it is better, happier
child, and the state which cares for it
in this way is better state, for it is no
longer guilty of the crime of breaking
up families because they have COM
mitted the crime of being poor.
Anything Less Than Plenty
Is Sheer Folly
Judge Neil is now in England con-
Quoting nationwide campaign for the
mothers pension system. In a recent
article written by him in the London
"Review of Reviews" he says:
''In America, thirty-six states now, in
some degree, are operating mothers
pension plans. Some Of these are eff
Gent and some, because the pension
paid is too small, are not, and where
they are not it has been fully demon
strated that the expense is greater than
it is where they are ample, for the
mothers in the former case break down
and what money has been spent is
%I,rAy
enough to save the mother from break
ing down. Anything less is folly. &.
To save mothers from breakdown is a
cheaper matter than to support their
children after they have broken down.
"In Australia every mother who gives
birth to living child gets s5, or about
S25, whether she be married or unmar-
ried, rich or poor. Manitoba has passed
a mothers pension law
Il came over here because ! could
foresee the great economic loss which
would come to the world if mothers
were to be broken down by poverty.
l knew that a mothers pension system
would mean a saving, and there was a
great need for saving. The movement
started with meeting at the House of
Lords at which members from both the
House of Lords and the House of Com
mons were present; and since then I
have explained it throughout the United
Kingdom in favor of resolution which
has been generally adopted"

1t Excludes the Wild
oirs of Alien
Men
BY MARIE DE MONTALvO

BY MARIE DE MONTALVO
CINCE the widowed mothers pension
law went into effect in New York
in 1915 it has been clearly demon
strated that in no other way could so
much be done for dependent and poor
orphans as in the proper administration
of public fund which gave relief in
the home and saved thousands of chill
dren from public institutional life.
The mothers pension has been on
trial; it has been the subject of much
attack. But opponents of the measure
have been growing less, and their argu-
ments have gone down in the face of
facts and carefully prepared statistics.
The New York law requires that the
mothers pension, ssspoor relief" apply
to women who are widows with children
less than sixteen years old whom they
cannot properly provide for. The widow
must have been resident of the coun-
ty or city for not less than two years
prior to her application for the relief,
and her husband must have been citi-
zen by birth or naturalization at the
time of his death. The amount allowed
is based upon the cost of caring for
child in public institution. The admin
istration is in the hands of local child
welfare boards.

MINNER SHUTS OUT
INDIANAPOLIS nine;
SCORE IS 6 TO 0

Pete MINERS delivery, ala Sheriff
Slim Sallee, was too much for the In
dianapolis All Stars, and the latter
team was defeated at Exhibition Park
Sunday afternoon, to 0. MINER al
lowed the visitors to hit the ball when
they wanted to, but he soon picked
them Off the bases.
Richmond put up good stiff game
on both offense and defense, and with
the exception of the first and seventh
innings, the All Stars had little op-
portunity to score. MINER allowed his
opponents eight hits. but none OF these
were sufficiently punched to prove
dangerous.
The Quakers scored their first runs
in the second on two hits, walk and
a passed ball, and in the next inning,
added two more in exactly the. same
manner. The visitors weakened in
the sixth, and with a pair Of errors
and a single, the Quakers scored two
more.
The All Stars failed to show strong
ly against the Quaker ball tossers and
many Of the fans were disappointed
with the poor exhibition given by the
indianapolis nine.
The boys were able to hit. but were
unable to run when once they got to
first. Five men were caught mapping
off the bags. The score:
