All hall to Father Christmas,
A merry soul is he;
Within his train he yer brings
Good cheer and jollity.
We love his rudy visage.
With happy smiles aglow;
We love his crown Of holly green,
And pearly mistletoe.
So here's to Father Christmas,
To all hearts eve dear;
Let voices sing and loudly ring
Whilst cheer succeeds cheer.

All hail to Father Christmas,
Who V hetriands the poor;
His presence makes the purses ope
And yield their golden store.
He Yields a wand of magic,
That must potent be,
For even from the miser's hoard
He draws forth charity
So here's TO Father Christmas,
Whilst cheer succeeds cheer.

All hail to Father Christmas,
He kindles thoughts to-day
OF loved ones who are sOjourning
In lands far, far away.
We almost hear their greetings
Behold each cherished face,
For Christmas with his magic wand
As nnught makes leagues Of space.
So here's to Father Christmas,
To all hearts ever dear;
Let voices sing, and loudly ring
Whilst cheer succeeds to cheer.

any special work. - The next address was

Am Illinois Statue Favoring Women
Pronounced Void.


Pronounced Void.
The Supreme Court of Illinois gave
decision at Mount Vernon Thursday, de-
claiming that the eight-hour law, or as II
Is generally known, the sweat-shop law,
Is unconstitutional The law prohibited
the employment of women for more than
eight hours a day, or more than forty
eight hours a week, In any factory within
the borders of Illinois. In deciding the
case the judges also pronounced Illegal
section 10 of the bill, which provided an
annual appropriation of $4,000 for fac
tory inspectors. whose chief duty was to
see that the eight-hour clause was en-
forced The burden of the decision is that
women In respect to contracts are on the
same footing with men, and that an act
which abridgcs the freedom of contract
between workman and employer in law
full occupation Is UNCONSTITUTIONAL While
the law related exclusively to the employ
ment of women, 1t was understood at the
time of its passage that similar measure
regulating the number of hours men could
be hired to work would follow on its
heels. Probably 10000 women in Illinois
who work i'm factories are affected by the
decision. $4,000 of whom live in Chicago.
They are employed in the main in shoe
factories, cloak and clothing houses, can
dy factories, paper-box shops and various
other manufacturing establishments.
