Shall we as Americans, neighbors, fellow citizens of the late FEilihu Burritt, insult and belittle his memory by selling our very souls for a miserly pittance to this octupus of war, greed and commercialism, or shall we use the powers our fore- fathers wisely placed In our hands and by our influence as a people, de- mand that congress act at once and | prohibit this traffic in blood and human woe. | What better monument to the | memory of the Learned Blacksmith | can we erect, than the launching of a crusade that shall deprive the war lords of Europe as far as we are con- cerned, of the materials with which to carry on their conflict of hatred and extermination.

(San Francisco Chronicle.) It appears that under the laws of | this state, the unfortunate father of a family is compelled to support his children, not only during thelr years of immaturity, but as long as they or not, just as they please. Surely, that is rough on the old man. 1In China, the adult children have to support their parents, {f they need support, and fathers who are burdened with large families will hold that that is one of the useful customs which we might well lmport from the orient. Inspived by a particularly ugly case | of meanness and general good-for- nothingness which oceurred in San Joaquin - county, Senator Stucken- bruck has introduced a bill which, ir enacted into law, will be a genu- ine credit to the “nonpartlsan’ pro- gresives, who are our present rul- crs. | It appears that an able-bodied | woman - of 35 in that county, where the demand for household workers is probably as good as elsewhere, Se- cured, by court order, a monthly lowance of $18 from her father, who is 78 years old, and whose only means of support is said to be a civil war pension. What was left for the father does not appear. It is said that, under the law, the court had | no alternative hut to make the or- der, although we are inclined to guess that a federal war pension s | not attachable under any state law. Senator Stuckenbruck has intro- duced a bill to insert the word “min- or’ before “children” in the offend- ing law, the result of which would be that after attaining thefr legal ma- jority lazy children would have (o get in and dig for themsclves { Up to that age. by a most gro- | tesque legal fiction, children are as- sumed to be under control of thelr | and (ake their wages in part payment | for what it cost to raise them to working age.
