Show Different Here THE Illinois legislature has passed a law on- H dowing with pensions mothers of needy chil- H dren; the county courts to determine the H needy cases. Q The system is different here. Up to date the H struggle has been to endow the old man. At first H It was to endow him with all tho wives he want- H ed: then no matter how much the wives and chil- dren earned, it all belonged to the old man, and H in tho courts the women and children had no 'H recourse. H More, this was taught as tho will of God, who fl was Love, and if anyone cried out against tho brutality, the Lord's organ here assured the fl people that such a man was an enemy, who for H his own selfish purposes would, if he could, make H of no effect divine laws. Was it not a lovely H system? |
