the MOTHERS PENSION Law.

In a lengthy communication in The
Star last week, Tennie Crawford 81
Opal, among other things said
Now. Mr. Anderson. has Judge
Finger any official right to paysa q
monthly pension to a woman with
a stout, healthy, young man where
she has no divorce, just because he
won! support her and his three
children ! want to know the law
on that point, for that is just what
Judge Finger has done"
Mr.. Anderson, not caring to be
drawn into controversy about a mat
ter that did not concern him, did not
care to reply to the above. Feeling
that the questioner had right to an
answer, The Star told, in detail, the
circumstances under which Judge
Finger allowed mothers pension Of
$40 per month to Mrs. Nora Stansell,
thereby leaving her and her three
children with her parents, and at the
same time saving the county $40 per
month. But this reply was not what
afrs. Crawford desired, as indicated
by the following excerpt from another
lengthy communication:
s'In your reply you don't say
whether Judge Finger acted accord
ing to law or thru sympathy. You
merely told what Judge Finger
done. Now we know what he had
done before. we asked for law and
we didn't ask to have lesson as
signed as which we already knew
All right. IL there's anything The
Star likes to be it is accommodating
Here's section Of the Mothers Pen.
sion Act, Act 326, 1917:
"A woman whose husband i:
dead, permanently deserted or in
capacitated for work by reason Of
5ssiy steal or mental iniIrmstles, on
whose husband is a prisoner con
Hned in the Arkansas penitentiary
may file an application for relief un-
der this act; provided such woman
is citizen Of the United States Of
America and has resided for one
year previously in the county where
such application is made, and is the
mother of child or children
Guess that covers the matter Of
Judge Fingers authority sufficiently
and you say IF he acted according t.
law we would have no criticism to of.
fer" just feel like adding, however
that little sympathy, or milk Of hu.
man kindness, is mighty good thing
20 mix with law. ~
Then You say:
"But | thought we had a law tc
compel a man to support his family
If physically able to do so. =
And again:
II heard Mr. Stansell say myself
that he got SIS per day every day he
worked"
Now you are getting down to busis
ness. Arkansas is blessed with laws
that have teeth" in them for the man
who deserts his wife and children,
and if you have heard Mr.. Stansell
tell about his earnings, and il you
know where he is or can be found,
you have information much needed by
the grand jury, and which, If supplied,
will either cause this delinquent hus-
band to care for his family and re-
lieve the county Of doing so. or earn
his keep in the state penitentiary.
And Judge Finger viii greatly
relish an opportunity to help bring
about the result.

Edison on Eight Hours.

On the occasion of his seventy third
birthday Thomas A. Edison consent
edo to take halliday off from his
..sssL tle permit his friends to eele-
brate the anniversary. On the sub
ject of work and the eight-heur day
he said:
Il am not against the eight-hour
day or any other thing that protects
labor from exploitation at the hands
of ruthless employers but it makes me
sad to see young Americans shackie
their abilities by blindly conforming
with rules which force the industri-
Gus man to keep in step with the
shirker. | have always felt that one
of the principal reasons for Ameri-
can progress in the past has beer
that every man had chance to be-
come whatever he wanted ta be-. II
used to be fashionable TO be ambi-
tious. The. employee planned TO be-
come an employee; the unskilled man
sought to become skillful. A young
man was not well thought of If nc
were not thriving for q higher ploce
in life
Today am wondering what would
have happened to me by now II nifty
years ago some fluent talker had con-
verified me to the theory of the eight
hour day and convinced me that it was
not fair, to my fellow-workers to put
forth my best efforts in my work. |
am glad that the eight-hour day was
not invented when ! was young man.
If my life had been made up of eight
hour days | do not believe / would
have accomplished great deal. This
country would not amount to as much
as it does if the young men of fifty
years ago had been afraid they might
earn more than they were paid
