Dresses in Husband's Clothes to
Work as Farmhand for Her Babies
MRS. ANNA GODFREY
CHICAGO, Dec. 2. —Mrs. An
na Godfrey, 38 years old. wife of
a bed-ridden husband, and mother
of four children, the youngest
(our years old, dress«d in her
husband's clothes, cut her hair,
and walked ten miles to get work
as a farmhand. Eight hours after
eho left her alley-cottage home,
she was found moaning and ex
hausted on a bench in fashiouable
Oak Park.
Judge J. R. Caverly, before
whom she was brought for mas
qu«nadlng In male attire, nis
cbarged her. "You are a brave
woman," he said, "and deserve
praise rather than punishment for
your act."
T.he beet he could do for her
was to offer to take her children
away from h«r and place them In a
home. "No," she replied, "I will
go back to the factory, where I

There's a Kansas firm that's
making a brand new kind of
booze. They say you cannot
drink It; you may eat It if you
choose. They mix it up with
etearln and with glycerine as well,
and It's packed in pasteboard
'boxes that are every bit as swell
as any fancy box of Boap that
ever you did see. It only takes a
Rake or two to make a jamboree.
The family man will have a cinch
when this stuff gets to towtt.
When he comes home packed full
he need not fear his wlfie's frown.
"J did not hare a single drink,"
he'll Bay quite truthfully. "I
niuMa had a bite for lunch that
dlshagreed wiz me."

•'I was able to earn only a few
dollars a week, that with the |2.50
my oldest boy earned barely kept
us. Then I told my husband that
something would have to be done.
I decided to get a job on a truck
farm, thinking that if I did well
I could bring the family out and
jthat would be better for the chil
dren than to stay on the alley. I
Ididn't have a cent of money, so I
! strted out to walk. For ten
miles I went along, resting when
my feet got sore and tired, and
then Btarting out again.
"My husband thought that farm
work would be too hard for me.
but I told him that 1 could not
work any harder than I had been
doing."

Royal E. Cabell of the internal
revenue bureau at Washington

How LaFollette "Hurts Business"
HY IIKKIBIKT QUICK
Editor of Farm and Fireside
The biggest piece of railway
construction In the United States
for decades Is the Chicago, Mil
waukee & Puget Sound railway
extending from Minneapolis and
St. Paul to Tacoma and Seattle.
Thereby hangs a tale of LaFol
lette and,. LaFolleteism —a . tale
which shows how LaFollette |
"hurts business." • •
When the St. Paul wanted to
start this gigantic piece of work, It
needed some changes In the laws
of its home state to permit the
great bond and stock operations
of the new line., And Its. home
state was Wisconsin! |
Once Wisconsin had been Just
about run by the railways, but I
their reign was over. Wisconsin
was In the fell clutch of LaFol
lette. • The law forbade gaining I
the good will of legislators by
passes. Another law LaFollette 1
put on the statute books made it
unhealthy for a lobbyist to hang
around the capitol. Without pass
es- and lobbyists how could a poor
railroad got the laws it needed?
' Burton Hanson, general solicit
or of the St. Paul system, saw a
state officer and laid the dreadful
case.before him. "What can I
do?" he pleaded. "What CAN I
do!"
"Well," said the LaFollette
man, "if you have a good case
why not go before the legislature,
man to man, and ask what you
want?"
Such a thing never seems to
have occurred to the general so
licitor but really why not? Why
not be fair and open?
Doubtless the railway people
remembered many reasons why
the LaFollettte people should
make their way hard.
Had not the railways al
ways made common cause
■ with every corrupt influ
ence in the state to beat
I.kl oll.itc.' Had they not
bribed away his delegates
and fought him in the strag
gle for direct primaries? Hud
they not slandered him
Had there been a single ar
row- in the quiver of corrupt
politics and - bitter partisan
ship that they had not shot
at l,;cl i>ll.-tli- for IS years?,
And won not LaFollette a
demagogue? , What better
chance for a demagogue than
to take the field against the
big railway? A demagogue
could .say that this was a
predatory move by the rail
way trust, and make capital
for himself by opposing it.'
Or, if corrupt, the LaFollette
politicians might make the
railway pay a big price for I
' what it asked. ' t ►
Hanson went before the legis
lature without any lobby or
money or passes or favors, he got
what he wanted. «- — ■..
Here's the lesson In this.
When LaFollettelsm comes in
special favors go out. Enemies
get a fair deal If what they want
Is right. LaFollette, being a
great constructive statesman,
fought the railways tooth and nail
when they were wrong—as they
were in the anti-pass, the pri
mary, and the tax fights; but the
state of Wisconsin does not re
member these things in its of
ficial action.
One of the first fights the sen
ator had to make against Big
Business was for equality of taxa
tion. The railroads and other
public utilities paid licenses which
relieved them of their just share
of taxes. It is so still In most
states.
But, thanks to LaFollette, it is
so no longer in Wisconsin. La-
Follette put through a tax com
mission law under ' which these
pay taxes at the same rate accord-
Ing to their values as farms and
homes.
This to Wisconsin people does
not seem revolutionary. In 1899
the railroads got off by paying
over a million dollars per year
less than they should. Thus their
lobby was paid. Thus the legis
lature was corrupted.
Since 1904 the railroads have

paid Wisconsin $6,000,000 more
than they would have paid under
the old system and the other pub
lic utility corporations have paid

I have ridden frequently from

cently the Pullman fare was 50
j cents. One day I found it raised
to 65 cents. I asked the reason
| and was told that the Pul&:>sin
company had gone before the rate
[commission of Wisconsin and
showed that it was not makltig a
.fair profit on the business. The
rate commission allowed the In

cepted by travelers as Just.
\V lific else is the public utility
corporation accorded treatment
at once so fair and so satisfac
