through the bars. She will sit beside
the accused in courts of law, when
the mob jeers and the heartless ma
chinery OF justice grinds its grist of
agony, and with unwavering faith
maintain her child is innocent. She
will stand at the foot of the scaffold
and, when the trap has fallen, cover
the condemned body with kisses and
with flowers. 1t is still to her the in
nocent sucking she once hugged to
her breast.
But if the path of life has led her
son to fields of honor, her heart will
glow with pride, ineffable, unspeak-
able. If he is called TO war, she will
bid him good-by with dry eyes, al
though her heart be filled with tears.
She will maintain a firm and hopeful
mien, that he may gain sublimer
courage from her sublime example.
When he sleeps upon the tented field
her spirit will keep watch. Whilst he
is slumbering she will pray. In the
agony of waiting she will die a thous-
and deaths, but will choke back her
sobs and hide her torture. She will
search for him amongst the slain, and
try with kisses TO warm the dead and
unresponsive lips to life. She will
coffin her heart with the beloved
body, and her soul will keep the eter-
nal vigil of a deathless love.

SENATOR REEDS TRIBUTE
TO AMERICAN MOTHER
CONTINUED from Page One)

sistants-and at that assistants just
the opposite from what should be
chosen---in other words unmarried
women were to be given the Job Of
telling and showing the married
women Of the country how to raise
their babies-and Senator Reed could
not see it that way. 1t was during
the great debate in the senate that
lasted for three sittings and in which
Senator Reed was the principal pro-
testant and bore the brunt of the
savage fight fuactioned by a trained
and fully equipped lobby that he in
stating his position paid a tribute to
the American mother which is in it
self classic-and so trite and true
that every American should read it.
Here is what Senator Reed said be-
fore an audience which crowded the
senate chamber as it always does
when Senator Reed speaks:
Mr.. REED. Mr.. President, give a
bill an attractive and appealing title,
back it by a well-organized propagan-
da, abundantly financed, and an active
lobby of persuasive ladies, who solicit
and pledge votes, and the bill, wheth-
er good or bad, wise or foolish, is al
most certain to pass.
The proponents of this measure
have named it "the child welfare
bill" Everybody wants babies and
mothers to be happy. Accordingly,
the mere title of the bill inclines
everybody to be for it. But, sir, it is
not enough that the title of the bill
shall be alluring or that its alleged
purpose shall be good. 1t remains for
Congress to ascertain whether the
measure will produce good or bad re-
suits and whether the acts contem-
plated lie within congressional juris-
diction.
Notwithstanding all the votes pledg-
ed, the influence of an active lobby,
and the false propaganda disseminat-
ed country wide and at government
expense, l intend to analyze this bill
and to give frankly the reasons for
my opposition.
The ambitious character of the
scheme, the vast number OF people its
proponents hope to employ, is indi-
Gated by the fact that the bill as in
priation of 100000. That demand
being too much for the stomach OF
the Committee on Education and La
Dor. the bill as reported cuts the ap-
preparation to $1,4S0,0O0 for the
present year. One million dollars Of
the above amount is to be divided
among the states in proportion to
their population. Similar appropria-
tions for each succeeding year are
larger sums will be demanded. There
is no limit within the bounds OF the
appropriation 10 the number of peo-
pie who may be employed, the SAL
aries which may be paid, or upon the
money which may be expended In
literature, propaganda, and travelling
about the country. The entire control
is placed in the Children's Bureau. It
can do with the taxpayers money al
most anything it may desire. The
states can get no money unless they
expend the funds in accordance with
the demands Of the bureau, however
fantastic, foolish, or dangerous the
demands may Re.

toned vast powers are vested in the

Its Powers Supreme

have stated that the above-men
toned vas. powers are vested in the
Children's Bureau. But the chief of
the bureau is IN fact supreme. 1t is
true that a dignified advisory COM
mittee is named in the bill, but the
chief is nowhere compelled to accept
its advice CT that Of anyone.
Mr.. LODGE. In other words, un-
like all other bureaus and commits
sions under the government that
know Of, the head of this bureau is in
absolute and final control.
Mr.. REED. 1 so understand the
| bill.
Mr.. LODGE. Not even subject to
the orders of the president of the
United States, as far as this bill goes.
Mr.. SHEPPARD. The Good Roads
Bureau has similar authority.
Mr.. REED. o, Mr., President, that
kind of argument is becoming quite
familiar. When a piece Of blunder-
ing or vicious legislation is exposed,
the common defense is for one of its
advocates TO arise and declare that
Congress has passed other unjustifid1
ble bills. Having delivered that tell
ing blow, he sits down in the serene
confidence that his antagonist ia
vanqulshed. lie has, however, only
succeeded in proving that Congress
has been guilty OF prior blunders,
which instead Of inviting should warn
against repetition. The commission
of vicious act can not be justified
by the citation OF a vicious precedent

from Lhe opposite direction and yet
the man had his eyes wide open and
his attention apparently was not dis
tracted from the job of driving.
Whaever there may be to this the
ory certainly an increasing. number of
motorists are utterly oblivious to the
rules both of the law and of common
courtesy and safety in the operation
of their cars. A writer mentions the
following classes of dangerous, and
inconsiderate drivers: The man who
leaves his empty car stand in busy
street all day long; the man who turns
a corner at Is miles an hour after a
single toot of the horn, giving the
pedestrian no chance; the man who
fails to stop back of the building line
when halted by crossing cop; the man
who passes to the left of trolley car

whether the street is empty or crowd
ed; the man who refuses to stay in
the traffic line and persists in edging
ahead of the man in front of him ;
the man who uses the left side of the
street or roadway to get ahead Of the
lire; the man who, intending to turn
a corner, rushes up alongside the car
on the right, thrusts out his hand,
swings across the front of the other
and compels the latter driver to make
his car stand on it's nose to prevent a
collision; and the worst nuisance of
all, the man whose passengers stick
their hands out in all d; 'ctions,
leaving you to guess whether he in
tends going to the right or left in
the air.
There is no law to reach some Of
these offenses; others are amenable.

It was October, the ileaves had
already turned, but the swords of war
had not been beaten .;nto plowsnares
as the Kaiser had promised his people.
Lady Diana stood in her drawing
room as the evening sunlight stream
ed through it's west windows and diff
fused rich autumn glow about the
room. She looked with contenptuous
disapproval at her old CHASTITY aunt,
the Countess of Carstairs, who sat
near her, eagerly reading the war
news in the latest issue of the Times.
