Father of
nine children, Neil was known as the Father of
Mother’s Pensions because of his role in the
passage of legislation in Illinois in 1911 that
provided assistance to the mothers of fatherless
children. Similar legislation was then passed by a
majority of states.
Neil also
wrote under the name Judge Henry Neil. In 1918 he
was associated in some capacity with movie director,
with D.W. Griffith. He was also friends with
playwright George Bernard Shaw and Neil’s daughter,
Mary Neil, was active in American Woman’s Chamber
of Commerce.
Some
remarks attributed to Henry Neil:
"If I
were the manager of a great railway system and I
found that wrecks were continually occurring at a
sharp turn in the road, I would not build repair
shops, I would mend the road. Hoover fed the
starving children in Europe and the Far East because
our international bankers made big profits out of
it."
"Charity pretends to feed our poor children. Charity
takes 75% of its collections for salaries and
expenses."
"The villagers living along a great river were
continually occupied dragging half-drowned people
out of the stream. One day the village fool rowed up
stream to the big city and mended the holes in the
bridge through which people had been falling into
the water. The villagers lost their jobs of rescuing
and got raving mad at the village fool." |
