Newspaper Page Text10 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY EVENTNO. OCTOBER 81, 1, CLUB WOMEN WOULD HAVE WIFE DESERTION MADE FELONY - f Mrs. MiHla R. Trumbull Urgss Such Legislation In Address- Be fore Convention of State Federation of Women's Clubs. That wife desertion should be made a felony by the next legislature and punishable by ail the penalties apply lac to s felony, and that women should be prohibited (rasa laboring more than 1 hours a day, wye two of the strong points brought oat In the address of Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull before the Oregon Federation of Women's clubs at Its session this morning. The state should be compelled to see that men supported their families and provided i heir wives with the necessi tlea of life and some penalty serious enough to check the growing tendency tuwards desertion for simple causes should be provided by statute, accord ing to the argument advanced by Mrs Trumbull. Men should not be allowed to forsake their families with no more Abigal Scott Duniway. serious consequences attendant upon the crime than ths loss of the 26 cents ehsrged by the ferry leading out of the state and Into Washington. Mrs. Trumbull first spoke on what the federation had already accom plished, naming the free library law, the betterment of the child labor law, the Improved way of transporting the Insane, and the Juvenile court law. "That 1 what we have done," said Mrs. Trumbull, "but there Is still more important work to be accomplished, and X have made out a list of the laws Which I think should be presented at the next legislature. The first Is to tnake wife desertion a felony Instead of n misdemeanor, as It la at present. If a man grows tired of his wife or re gards his family as an Incumbrance to be rid of, what does he do but go across the river to Washington and be relieved of all responsibility for 25 cents, the fare acroaa the river? Wife desertion ahould be made a felony and punished accordingly. If these men were com pelled to support their families under the supervision of the state, this crime would become much lees frequent than tt Is now. Woman Labor Saw. "Second We ahould urge a law for bidding women to labor longer than ten hours a day. At present numberless women in this olty are compelled to work for 12 or 14 hours a day or lose their position. It seems to me that If the women of th3 Federation would work as hard for this law as the em ployers work against It more would be accomplished than has been possible so far. Do you realise what It means to work for 11 or 14 hours? To work when every nerve Is tingling and yon have become a mechanical being almost with out reason for the time being, and to do this .day after day with ever-lessening hope and vitality nothing. In fact, " to snake such labor endurable? Some daS nlte. action should be taken in this mat I ter Remember what kind of c It liens re being trained when young girls throes Away their lives and all chance of hap piness. YCompulsory education la In the hands of the educational authorities, but the need of a paid truant officer is arpnrent In, connection with the work done by the Juvenile court and the matter should receive some atten tion Immediately. In regard to the child labor law. I am Inclined to think' that It Is more advisable to endeavor to make the age It years sll over the United States rather thsn make it 18 yeara in Oregon. The child labor law la for the benefit of the weaker child, not the stronger, as some people seem to think, and If while the law Is pro tecting the weak child It Is also stor ing up more energy snd better, heslth for the stronger child so much the bet ter for our future dtlsens. The Ju venile court has accomplished untold good for the state snd In order to make it still more effectual the age limit should be changed to 18 years Instead of It. Paid probation officers are also needed for the Juvenile court snd a bet , ter and more commodious detention home, where the children may be pro vided with s gymnasium and many snore comforts than are now possible. BBVSS "Make the Parents Pay." "It Is hard to realise that there are parents who wish to shun responsibil ity In regard to the care of their chil dren and nothing would be so effectual in stopping the practice rrt throwing children on the care of the state as to compel the parents to pay for their care in whatever public tnatltutton thay may be placed. Truancy would be much less frequent If this waa done. One ef the peost important thlnga which 1 wlah to present to you this morning is the vital need of an Institution for feeble-minded children, our legislators epproprlste a sum for this purpose. I eoold tell of many horrible hnppenlngs Which might have been averted If there was such an institution In Oregon." Miss Trumbull also spoke of the needed reform In the parole and inde terminate sentence law. the advisa bility of turning the open air sanl t art usn over te the stale and the es tablishment of a state home for de linquent girls. Miss Trumbull's speech received the enthusiastic applaiiss of the audience and she wss aaked to confer with the resolutions committee. Mlaa Cornelia Marvin, secretary of the stste library commission, gave a short talk s "Library Extension. " (the i seaman dod the action that had already been taken In the matter of establish! rwr libraries and saM that the library laws of Oregon were exception ally good, our school library law being the beet la the state.

"one In Portland, sinker City, Kalem'and Dallas The library In Dallas waa started a year age Mad has 848 volumes, which have base read 8.000 times during tbs year. Miss Marvin spoke of the work of the Traveling Library association and said that was the only way to get good literature to the people living In the rural communltlea Tne need of care ful suppression of harmful literature t was mentioned and Miss Marvin said that the moat effectual remedy for thla evil was to supply rood books In their places. Charles B. Merrick, aecretary of the Portland library commission, sent a letter to the federation In regard to the passing of a better pure food law. "I think that we ahould be very proud to be appealed to by the Portland commission for aid." aald Mra. Evsns, and all agreed with enthusiasm.
