failures, and says, in unit:
'Civilisation lias jus! .--wakened to

"K\ery umieriiMoishcd child
should have the privilege of being
{all nourished, whether rich or poor,
at public expense, without heiira
hr; ruled a pauper."
Muft Be Free To All
Judge Neil is strongly insistent on
this last point. He points out t'hat
this privilege must be free to all, or
it becomes a caste mark. In the beginning,
free schools were offered
only to the poor, and it took a long,
hard fight to make our public school
system really democratic.
He cifes the experience of Chicago,
where milk is offered to pooi children
.u cent a glass, the deficit being
made up by subscription.
Many families whose children bitter'y
need this help will not lake it
because il seems to life in to curvy the
stigma! of pauperism. If offered 1>.
the community to all, those who need
it Would hnv? ?u> sciupli* in accepting
it.

But although the senators had SL

which Mr. Newberry was seated, nine
senators who had cast their votes for

there is the case oi' ''Uncle

'"Uncle Ike" had made his millions in

the senate showing the lumber trust

form. Senator La Foliette forced a
vote but enough senators stood by j
Uncle Ike to keep him from being \
ousted. j
