that, if in the future, they need
any sort of protection, they will
know exactly where they may
find it. This is their right.
To give them less is to rob
them of something that belongs
to them.

that any woman who brings a

for her race.

Remember, this is not mod

problem. 1t is a problem as
old as love and life. Other ma

nations refuse to admit that
ANY baby is illegitimate, and
treat the unwedded mother and
honor the unnamed child ex-
actly as they treat mothers and
children who are protected by

Some of oCr own States have

HER CHILD A REAL BREAK
IF SHE KEEPS IT? I don't
think so.
The mothers of both my
lovely children we're unmarried.
They gave them up, because
life gives enough hurdles to
each of us, without adding
any; and the world in general
is not yet capable of the
breadth of understanding that

keep her baby. without pointing
scornful fingers. AND SCORN-
Full FINGERS HURT.
To be fair to the helpless
child, we must see that it is put
into a normal home-normal as
we have it today. Any child is
entitled to that. I consider the
mothers of my two babies much
greater and finer because they
gave them up, instead of think
ing only of their own wishes
and keeping them.

they could afford.
Then there was a day when
that consolation became a
dreadful menace and the boy,
in his fear and desperation,
ran away. Rose couldn't run

felt that it was worth all that
it had cost when she held her
baby in her arms.
Never had she known such
ecstasy as she felt at the clutch

strangely, such pride as when
she thought of the years ahead
when she would battle for her
little son. ,.. ''.-.
But there was. neither ecstasy
nor pride in the eyes of The
Folks when they faced her with
their verdict. Only anger and
shame! She might stay-but
the baby must go! Never,
never, should she bring an illegi-
innate child into a decent home!

his kisses usually comes back
for more.
The average mans love-mak-
ing is so standardized these days
that if he should be interrupted
in the midst of a passionate
sentence, the girl could probably
finish it for him. She knows it
by ear.
It's all right for a man to
have heart enough to love two
women, if he has brains enough
to love them successfully in

many a man who would not

the Facts
At almost the moment of
her death, Herbert Lehman,
for W hose election she
worked, was being inducted
into the office of Governor
in Albany. The human spirit
which at Albany began with
Smith, continued through
Roosevelt, abides in the
third of the triumvirate.
The spirit of the new Execu-
tive is disclosed in his in
augural address. 1t touched
on the credit of the common
wealth, the necessity for
balancing the budget, the
need for municipal reforms,
but it was notable in the
acceptance, in behalf of or
ganized society, or RESPONSE
bilities and duties toward
the jobless.
There are a million and a
half breadwinners in New
York denied their right to
work. And these have de-
pendents. We like the frank,
unsugar coated manner in
which Governor Lehman
states the facts. We like
his declaration that the
crisis thus created must be
met with the combined eff
forts of all governmental
forces. But especially do
we like his declaration that
the Federal Government
should give the aid intend
ed when money was appro-
priated to the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation.
We like this sentence:

Government is needed in

A mans conscience is always

Two Claims
On History

This remarkable woman
liked to think that it was
her wOman's intuition that
gave her the position politi-
cally she held. Intuition she
had, of course, but intuition
is not entirely given to
women. Review the great
est male political leaders of
this or any other country
and you will find that the
quality that raised them
above their fellows and gave
them power was-intuition.
We describe intuition fire.
quently as a feminine quail
ity; but when in men you
find political genius you
will find, if you search,
that the feminine gift is also
theirs.
But Mrs. Moskowitz had
something more than intui-
tion-she had a real power
for organization, an unusual
flare for publicity for the
cause she served. And with
it all she mastered the art of
serenity in a storm. In the
headquarters in 1928 where
all was hustle, excitement,
turmoil, she seemed the one
calm, serene, self-possessed
person there. Her emotions
were enlisted strongly for
the man in whom she be-
lieved politically, but her
fine, strong intellect domi-
mated her feelings.
She has two claims on
history: one her relations
with Smith; the other, the
great mass of ameliatory
laws for the benefit Of the
unfortunate for which she
worked.

THE unexpected death Of

means something more than
the mere passing of a woman,
who, as an individual, was

been a political factor in a
unique way. Almost from
childhood, for she was but Is

ter of the stage.
Though not in actual pow
erty in childhood, her work
brought her into contact
with human misery with
social problems. Because of
her intellectually and her
realism, her sympathy did
not express itself emotion
ally, but in the devising of
plans for social amelioration.
This brought her into con-
tact with the politician. She
was realist enough to know
that only through the politi-
clan could progress be made
in legislation.
Here she differed from
many social workers who are
theorists only, and refuse to
seek the cooperation of those
elements in government with
out which nothing can be
done. Her brilliant mind,
her mastery of facts, her
understanding application of
these facts, made an impress
sion on the politician who
formerly had looked upon
the woman social worker
with suspicion and distaste.
She was able to convince
the most callous and cynical
politicians that it is good
politics to serve the unfortu-
nate part of humanity.

 MONDAY AT ANCHORAGE

George Nordgren, we'll known and oldtime resident of the rail- road belt and of Anchorage for at least Is years, was found dead in the Alaska House, at Anchorage, yesterday, according to KFQD. George was fine man and was known to many sourdoughS as the cribbage king of the North. Two brothers are in the Nelchina dis trict and Star airways plane was to take off today to bring the brothers in.
 George had a homestead in the Matanuska Valley area and was also a master carpenter; until few years ago he was interested in prospecting. His last visit to Sew ard was about two years ago when he passed through enroute home from an extended stay in the states.
