suit from their independence, he con-
tended the solution of the Philippine
problem could not be achieved by
Misrepresentation or SANDER The
problem would not be a debatable
one, he said, except for "the attempt
of some who desire to serve their
best interests to cloud the real
issue"

Listen World!
CLLEN HARvEY'S up against it.

ELLEN HARvEY'S up against it.
- Jim has skipped and left her
and the two babies without dime.
Bad situation, that. Two babies
one s months old, one years. Both
sickly. No relatives to leave them
with. Nothing for Ellen to do but
farm them out with the charities
while she tries to get job as
waitress or factory girl. You don't
earn much, singing hash or pasting
labels. Not much chance to save
for a home SO you can have your
children again. No. You might as
we'll face the fact that they're lost
to you for good and let them go to
the first decent person that's willing
to adopt them.
That's what it means when Jim
eskips. Two babies homeless-a
woman on the rocks-with an ever
growing bill Of poverty and misery
for society to boot. And they're
running up bills like that every dag.
In every city of this country, from
every farm and village, the Jims are
taking leave and leaving the Ellens
and the babies to shift as they may.
Broken hearts for wives, black years
for babies, a heavier load for the
taxpayers.
BAD BUSINESS.
Pretty bad business, isn't it? Al
most seems as if the whole coun-
try ought to be doing something
about it. But what are We doing?
We're doing almost nothing at all.
We can't do anything.
Because Jim has gone over the
state line.
The estate line" in America isn't
merely a geographical division. It's
a political barrier between two sep
arate and distinct communities, each
possessing sovereign rights over the
people within its territory. We call
such control States rights" and our
federal government is based on such
a theory.
In some few matters the central
government at Washington has the
right to interfere with the state gov
ernments. 1t can interfere with the
liquid refreshments OF individuals.
It can interfere with the stuff they
print on postal cards. But it can't
and won't interfere with their do
nestle vicissitudes. 1t can't and
won't do this because we have no
laws permitting the federal govern
ment to do this.
MARRIAGE MIXUPS.
As a consequence, Mary and
John may be considered as legally
married in one state, but living
illegitimately in another. Ellen
may have partial control over her
children and property in one state,
yet have no more rights than a
Holstein in another. And jim hav-
ing wearied of matrimony in one
state, may skip into another and
lead a care-free life.

child felony and reduced the crime
to a misdemeanor.
Here is a statement from J. L.
Astredo, juvenile probation officer
Of San Francisco, telling what eff
feet this amendment had upon Jim
and Ellen.
"Those Of us whose work involves
attempting to bring back to Cali
fornia for trial fugitive fathers and
husbands who have abandoned their
families are meeting with consid-
cradle difficulty in getting extradi-
ton from outside states.
OTHER STATES RELUCTANT.
"The difficulty seems to be due
to the fact that in 1923 the Cali
fornia State Legislature amended
the law which had made wife de-
sertion and failure to provide for
a minor. child felony and reduced
the crime to a misdemeanor.
"Since that time whenever we
have been obliged to ask governors
Of another state for extradition OF
a fugitive father and husband there
governors have been reluctant 10
grant extraditon in view Of the
fact that the crime under California
laws was only a misdemeanor and
the offenders have gone Scott free
in many cases.
Even when the crime was a fell
ony, 1t was difficult enough to get
convictions and not more than five
men year were GENT to prison for
this.
WE FOOT BILLS.
"Of 100000 which the city and
county of San Francisco spends
annually for the support of chill
dren, Is per cent Of this is ex-
pended to support children VINO
have been deserted by their fatn-
ers."
There's the general situation In
the United States today when Jim
deserts Ellen and the babies.
If Jim gets across the state line
he's sitting pretty and Ellen's out
of luck, she and the kids. and you
and /, are left to foot the bills.
Think it over. Supposed 1t hap
pened to you. What state did you
come from? What protection would
you have in that State? Dig up
the laws. Give them the once over.
What do you think OF them?
An effort Is being made to bring
this whole matter under federal
jurisdiction. Don't You think it's
about time?
