Sometimes it is an old mother who
has given her Ixrst years to slaving and
toiling for her children, but who finds
herself an unwelcome guest in her
eon's and daughter's homes. Some
times it is an old maid sister who has
sacrificed her youth, and her romance,
and her own chances in life in order
to give younger brothers and sisters
better opportunities than she could
have, who is farmed out among those
for whom she has done so much, and
who regard themselves as martyrs for
having to "take" Jane for so many
months a year. Sometimes it is a for

childless, penniless, to whom, for very
shame sake, an unwilling door has
been grudgingly opened.
Always these women who must live
5n other people's homes know they are
not wanted. They see themselves
slighted, patronized, put upon. In
many cases they realize that they are
a perpetual source of discord in the
family, and that their presence is
fiercely resented by some relative-in

not suffer, these poor, forlorn old

WEDNESDAY EVENING IIARRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 1, 1914.
God rest the soul of the woman
who has remembered their sorrow,
and whose money will build a home
to which some of them may fly as to
a temple of refuge until they creep
into that last home that holds out its
welcoming arms to us all.
The building of this home where
specific purpose is to be a shelter for
the women who are "in the way,"
should be more than a mere sanctuary
for dependent old women. It should
bring home to all women who arc ap
proaching middle life a warning of the
fate that may lie in store for them
unless they begin at once to take steps
to protect themselves against it.
It is a harsh and cruel thing to say,
but it is a truth that we do well to
face, and that is—that ever)' woman
who lives in another woman's house is
a woman "in the way." This will seem
Incredible to mothers. They will say,
"My Mary and my Freddie, will al
ways want their mother. Thev will
never find me in the way. T will al
ways have a warm seat by the fire In
my children's homes."
This may be true enough of one's
own children, but there is Mary's hus
band, and Freddie's wife to take into
consideration, and the son-in-law and
the daughter-in-law have yet to be
born who receive a mother-in-law into
their houses without feeling that they
are giving a living understudy of mar
tyrdom, nobly borne.
If Mary's husband and Freddie's
wife are pin-feathered saints, they try
to do their duty by their mother-in
law, but it is duty and not pleasure,
and in her heart the mother-in-law
knows that she's de trop.
And if Mary's husband and Fred
die's wife are just common, ordinary
human beings, the mother-in-law is
not only the woman in the way, but
the woman who leads the way only
too often for her son or daughter to
the divorce court.
Of course if a woman is old, and
sick, and poor, there is frequently no
way in which she can prevent herself
from becoming dependent, and being
forced to live with those who do not
daughter. Mrs. Ella Jr. Adams, of
Mechanicsburg-, survive; also a half
brother, Fred Mumma, and eight
grandchildren, "Walter, Karl, Grace
and Samuel Adams. Ilalph, Annie,
Samuel and Francis Mumma, all of
Mechanicsburg and vicinity. No
funeral arrangements have been made
at this time.
want her, but there are many other
cases In which a woman brings this
cruel fate needlessly down upon her
own head.
If I could say one word more earn
est than any other to a middle-aged
woman, who has a little home and a
little property of her own, it would be
to hang on to her pocketbook to the
last gasp of life, and not to be foolish
enough, as so many mothers do, to
give everything she has got to her
children on the supposition that she'll
be perfectly happy and need noth
ing, living about with them.
Children are human and in-laws
are doubly human, and the minute
they have done mother out of her
property, they forget the obligation,
and consider her a burden. Between
mother with her own money and able
to make presents, and mother who
has to be taken care of, is the differ
ence between a welcome guest and the
woman in the way.
Tfcere is no way to keep your chil
dren ' dutiful and attentive equal to
having them have a wary eye on your
will.
And T would equally urge the wo
man who is in business not to give up
her job because her prospective son
in-law invites her to come and live
with him. Ante-nuptial and post
nuptial sentiments in a man are sel
dom the same, and experience shows
that the only possible way to keep the
peace with in-laws is not to live under
the same roof with them. Every
mother who goes to live in her son's
or daughter's house Jeopardizes the
peace and happiness of that home.
Therefore, every woman who is ap
proaching the age at which her chil
dren are likely to marry and leave
her, should begin preparing herself
to make her own living in some way
if she is poor, and. in any case, she
should resolve that come what will,
she will live her independent life,
apart from her children, visiting them,
and having them with her, but having
her separate interests, ajid separate
life, for in that way, and that way
alone, can she keep herself from the
sad lot of being a woman who is 'in
the way."

II Flip WRITES
Protection Promised If Body of
Missing Lad Is Returned
to Parents
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, April I.—Police of
lloials and detectives who have been
directing a relentless search lasting
almost three weeks in a vain attempt
to recover 7-year-old Warren McCar
riclt, are convinced f .hat a crudely
written letter sent to a local attorney
and made public yesterday solves the
mystery surrounding the manner in
which the boy vanished from near his
home at 619 South Nineteenth street.
If the author of the communication
is telling the truth, and detectives be
lieve that a portion at least of hia
statements are correct, Warren 11c-
Carrick was kicked on the head by a
horse and killed and his body buried
on a farm.
The letter gives a description of how
the farmer placed the lad in his wagon
after his horse had kicked the boy,
and then ascertaining that the little
fellow had been killed, the man
feared a jail term and carried the
body to his farm, where he burned
the clothing and buried the lad.
So much coniidence is placed in the
missive that at a conference between
Captain of Detectives Robert D. Cam
eron, Lieutenant James Tate, Detec
tive Frank O'Connor and James Mc-
Carrick, the father of the body, held In
the office of the detective captain last
night, it was agreed to offer the writer
of the letter complete immunity if
his story is proven and the body re
turned.
Asks FV»r Immunity
Such a guarantee the author asked
for. When assured that he would not
be prosecuted, the letter stated, the
writer would disinter the body and
carry It to the McCarrick home.
The police are now endeavoring to
learn the identity of the sender.

dent, and, I think when the commit
tee was organized those who were in
favor of the tolls exemption were in
the majority.
"A week in the committee would
bo a reasonable time for discussion."
No Comment by Wilson
The President had 110 comment to
make on the result in the House, but
let it be known that he cherished no
ill-feeling over those who, expressing
their convictions, opposed the repeal.
There was no comment made on the
speech of Speaker Clark.
Chairman O'Gorman said to-day he
would call the canals committee to
meet Tuesday. It is apparent that an
effort is to be made to amend the
House bill with a clause asserting the
sovereignty of the United States over
the canal zone. Estimates of the
number of Democrats who will oppose
the repeal vary from felght to fourteen.
"The repeal is not yet won by any
means," said Senator Chamberlain,
leading the opponents.
Senator Morris, Republican, intro
duced an amendment to reaflirm the
right of the United States to grant an
exemption, if It desired to do so, and
to direct the President to begin nego
tiations to arbitrate Great Britain's
protest.
Voting to surrender to Great Bri
tain the right of the United States to
obtain any special adantage from our
expenditure of $400,000,000, in con
structing the Panama canal, the House
of Representatives, after one of the
most dramatic fights in its history,
last night decided by a majority of
86, to repeal the provision exempting
coastwise American ships from the
payment of tolls.
This victory of President Wilson is
decisive, but at what cost to the Dem
ocratic party only time will tell.
Speaker Champ Clark and Majority
Leader Underwood, who have stood
side by side in many a fight in the
Democratic party, battling in the na
tional political area when Woodrow
Wilson was a professor at Princeton,
had to bow to-night to the superior
strength of the newer leader.
The old-time leaders of the Demo
cratic party, the men who guided the
party out of the wilderness, have been
thrown back into their trenches, and
newer leaders are already threatening
to take control of the House.
It had been expected that Presidem
Wilson would win, but it was not an
ticipated that he would have so large
a majority. The vote on the first test,
a technical question as to dispensing
with the third reading of the bill, was
247 to 160. It was Indicated then for
the first time that the- President's
supporters could count on a majority
of 78.
There was some wavering on the
second test, which was on the motion
to recommit the bill with Instructions
to amend it so that the President
would be authorized to suspend the
working of exemption clause for two
years. The vote was 176 to 232. Thir
ty-one Democrats, who were* support
ing the President, nevertheless favor
ed this compromise. They went back
to the repealer on the final vote, which
was on the passage of the repeal bill
itself, the vote being 247 to 161.
Speaker Clark too« part in tho
closing debate in the House and
among his telling sentences were:
"Wo built the Panama Canal We
built it on American soil. We have
fortified it: we will control it. I
would rather see the canal walled up
than give Great Britain control of it.
I had rather see it filled up with gi
gantic boulders than to yield one iota
of control over it to any foreign na
tion."
"Now may the God of our fathers
who nerved 3,000,000 backwoods
Americans to fling their gauge of bat
tle into tho face of the mightiest mon
arch in the world * * * may He lead
members to vote so as to prevent this
stupendous folly—this unquestionable
of the American Repub
lic." •
"The amazing request of the Presi
dent for the repeal, like the peace of
God, passeth all understanding."
"It is none of their business (for
eign nations) what we do with our
coastwise trade."
"The repeal means the practical
abandonment of the Monroe Doctrine,
which the American people will main
tain at all hazards."
