WOMEN VOTERS INVESTIGAT-
ING BILLS STATUS.
Look For Action of Congress Before
New Administration

Members of the Iowa League of
Women Voters, through their re-
search committee of which Mrs. l..
H. Tomlinson is state chairman, have
bills pending in congress in which
women have more than passing in
terest. While quite a number are at
tracing the attention of the women,
about five are considered of more
import than the others, according to
the report of Mrs. Tomlfnson. They
include:
Sheppard Towner bill for public
protection of maternity and infancy.
The bill to prevent child labor and
regulate school attendance in the
District of Columbia, of which Re-
preventative Gard is one of the au-
thors.
Rogers bill-providing that nc
woman who is an American citizen
shall lose her citizenship by marry
ing an alien, and that no alien ,wo-
man shall acquire American citizen
ship by marrying an American citi-
zen.
Smith-Towner bill to create a
department of education and pro-
vide federal cooperation to the
states for the removal of illiteracy
for AUGMENTATION, for equalizine
educational opportunities, for physi-
cal education including health edu-
cation and sanitation, and for the
preparation of teachers.
Tess bill-to promote vocational
education.
Members of the league say they
are especially interested because of
the comparatively short time until
the change of administrations, and
probably action on the pending leg
islation before that time.

e. J. Curtin at Fair Meeting.

Z. j. Curtin of this city, who is
president of the National Harness
Horse Association, was in atten-
dance at meeting of the Iowa Fair
Managers association in Des Moines
last Wednesday. Mr.. Curtin discussed
at length the future of horse racing
in the nation.
The number of racing horses in
the state and nation is rapidly de-
creasing, Mr.. Curtin declared. The
entire future of horse racing here
and elsewhere is endangered, and
there is possibility that these races
will be eliminated entirely as the
chief attraction of the fairs.
The only possible remedy ac-
cording to Mr.. Curtin, is to insure
breeders of standard horses a fair
return when they race their horses.

BLUE LAW CRUSADE.
New Laws to be Made if Certain
Would be Ref0rmers Have Their
Way.

From newspaper reports it seems
that we will soon have more blue
laws, if certain would be reformers
have their way. We are confident,
however, that there are enough
level headed people in this country
to hinder any of the proposed legis-
lation. The public ought to be edu-
Gated to realize the significance of
the alleged reforms. 1t is said that
the National Reform Association and
the Lords Day Alliance are among
the leaders of movement to make
a "quiet Sunday"
1t is proposed first to pass a
law for the District of Columbia, as
an entering wedge for law for the
whole country. This law is to be
made an amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States, as we
know the constitution can be amend
ed practically over night without the
knowledge of the COMMON people. To
accomplish this lobbying is carried
on to influence our lawmakers in
favor of certain freak laws. How
long shall such lobbying be allow
ed to eat like a canker into our free
country? How long before the peo-
pie can vote on all added amend
ments?
Our outward enemies are easily
conquered, but this insidious, sneak
ing disease which secretely gnaws
its way into our law making bodies
is more difficult to discover before
it is too late. 1t will come to a
pretty pass when laws have to be
passed for Sabbath observance.
The Lords Day Alliance would
discontinue the use of the automobile
on Sunday for pleasure. There will
be no trains, no telegraph and no
mails on Sunday. 1t would stop the
buying of newspapers or a cigar or
ice cream on Sunday, in fact make
a most Puritancial day by force of
law. All shows and base ball games
would be prohibited. Moving pictures
would be censored" by some self
styled reformer who would tell US
what we should see, as we'll as what
we should eat and drink under a
despotic law. 1t would have us re-
turned to the gloom of the dark
ages. Millions of dollars would be
spent for enforcement.
1t will be well to watch every leg
islator who shows any friendliness
to the movement and vote for the
other fellow at the first opportunity.
No matter under what high sounding
names these self styled reformers
come, let us be Americans and let
them understand that the passage
of such fool laws would be against
the peoples will. No more inroads on
our constitutional rights! So. far, no
further; If it were not for the
seemingly earnestness of these freak
reformers we would be tempted to
give them the horse laugh, but it
behooveS every true American to be
on his or her guard against them.
The more freak laws we get the
more millions in taxes will have to
be used for enforcing them. Graft
is perhaps at the bottom of all
blue law movements.

As To Poor Mothers i'm Our Com
muniIY


When Judge Henry Neil, father
Of mothers pensions, pushed his first
pension bill through the Illinois
Legislature in 1911, no state or ma
ton in the world was paying poor
mothers cent for the highly inn
portant government work they were
doing of bringing up their children
properly, so that in a few years
they would be good citizens.
This year-1920-Cook-co, Illinois,
will pay half million dollars in
pensions, on order of court, to mo-
theirs of little ones whose fathers
are dead, incapacitated, or missing.
The other day, the police of Chi
cago, which is in Cook-co, found two
little boys wandering the streets at
midnight, probably learning city
deviltry. Taking them home about
2 a. m. the widowed mother was
found. She had returned at midnight
from her work of scrubbing in a big
Office building and at 2 a. m. was
starting her own washing for her
family of five children. The court
Judge Arnold-gave her a pension
at once; he decided that the res
possibility and public Importance of
rearing family of five was enough
for one woman to undertake with
out having to earn living for them
also.
Our rural towns and communit-
les probably have few such extreme
cases as the foregoing. Yet, we do
have occasional poor widows with
small children and poor mothers
with bad husbands. Are we paying
enough attention to the few we
have? Are we seeing to it that they
are able to bring their children up
including good nourishing
food and sufficient education to make
them physically strong and mentally
strong American citizens?
