CHILD LABOR.
immortality OF Allowing Children to
Toll In Mills

Morris l.. Wheat, in his recent lecture
in this city to the Knights of Labor, touch
ed upon point which should find a re-
Sponsive chord in every human breast.
He explained the resolute opposition OF
the knights to child labor-a curse to
America which should be lifted from the
land. In land of abundance it ia bar
harism. Our mills and factories are full
of toling, careworn children, old in suf-
fering beyond their years, whose little
pinched faces will make ones heart ache,
and who know little or nothing Of the
beauties OF the world.
In the place of books their hands are
illed with implements of labor. For
sunshine and pure air are substituted hot
aud i'll ventilated rooms, an atmosphere
which too often contains germs of i'm
whose development degrade
both soul and body. Physical, intcllectu-
al and moral growth are .tunted and
dwarfed and manifold evils necessarily re-
suit. 1t is time hat legislation more
adjusted these matters

The rapid growth Of the Daily Journal
Is the best assurance which the publishers
can possibly have that sbeir efforts tsgive
this section Of the State hrstela.s daily
paper are being more AID moresppreeiated
by the reading public. The growth Of
the Daily Journal from next 20 the smallest
to the largest daily paper in the State In a
single year stands today as the most re-
msrkable instance Of rapid and successful
newspaper progress in the history OF
Maine Journalism. The conditions for
this remarkable growth were not anfagor-
able. The Journal was centrally located
At the capital and news center Of the
state. II possessed valuable
associate press franchise which gave II a
splendid news service and it was backed
up by a hne weekly with well estab-
f.bed circulation.
Under such circumstances the great
growth Of the Journal was made possible,
and BY push, liberal outlay, and constant
attention IL was attained and IL stili In
rapid progress. During the past year a
large corps Of correspondents and special
reporters In all parts Of the State have
been thoroughly organized and put into
the work. 30 that the Journal 10 addition
