Do They Understand What They “Mother”?

By Editor

Do They Understand What They “Mother”?—In the annual address of Mrs. Sturtevant-Peet, president of the California Woman's Christian Temperance Union, delivered on October 5, is the following on legislation, which we take from the Pacific Ensign of October 28:—

“Age of Consent and Sunday Law.—The bill for raising the age of consent from 14 to 16 years has become law, and the bill for Sunday law, altho not introduced by our organization, was mothered and fostered by us. . . . In the next Legislature these same bills will be introduced, with the addition of one for physical culture for our schools, anti-treating and cigaret bills.”
