WAGES OF MINOR EXEMPT.

To the Editor Of The Herald: Can a
boys wages be taken by store for his
fathers debts If he is under Il or not?
is there law forbidding a mans wages
10 be taken for debts inside of sixty days?
Minor.
The wages of boy cannot be law
fully taken for his fathers debts, and
where they are withheld by an en-
plOyer for that purpose the boy may
recover the amount due under the stat
utes Of this state. According TO sec
ton 3243 of the code the earnings of
any minor child of any debtor within
this state and the proceeds thereof are
exempt from execution against such
debtor by reason Of any debts or liza
bility Of such debtor, not contracted for
the special benefit of such minor child"
If the minor is compelled. to sue his
employer for wages due him and
wrongfully withheld, and is able to es-
tablish the fact in court, and to show
that he has made a demand in writing
for the amount due at least fifteen days
before the bringing of the suit, pro-
vided the sum demanded is not greater
than the sum awarded by the court, the
defendant employer is required to pay
the employees attorney fee, as regu-
lated in section 1347 of the code.
In answer to the second question it is
provided in subdivision Z, section 3245,
OF the code. that "one-haIf of the

QUAY KNOCKED IN VAIN.

Matthew Stanley Quay was refused
a seat in the senate of the United
States yesterday and the precedents es-
tablished by that body were upheld.
GGbernatorial appointments are not ELI
gible when legislatures fail to elect.
This is the verdict and it is a just one.
To give the executive the power as
sumed by Governor Stone would result
in greater evils than now exist in SEN
atorial elections. 1t would encourage
governors to promote deadlocks in state
legislatures that their personal selec-
tons might be named.
But it was close shave for senator
ial precedeL- By a majority of only
one was the time honored rule of that
dignif1ed and deliberative body upheld
And thus the constitution, so often set
aside for partisan purposes during the
last three Years. hung by a hair.
When Governor Stone appointed
Quay to succeed himself so soon after
a Pennsylvania grand jury had found
indictments against him for embezzle-
ment, it was not regarded as a serious
matter. 1t was not believed that
Stone expected the appointment to
stand, but made it as a sort of vindi-
cation of the boss and for political eff
feet. 1t will keep him before the state
as a leading candidate for the senate
and the machine will appeal to its
workers to help complete the vindica-
ton. But as time went on and the
constitution was torn off piece by piece

list rose and he made the fight in earn

Pennsylvania is a queer state in some

although leading Republicans are thor

methods. The main issue in Pennsyl-

"DUTY IN THE PHILIPPINES -

Last week 1, 900 Filipinos were killed.
wounded and captured in the name of
Christian duty" and superior civil
ization." In commenting upon this
wholesale killing, contemporary said
that only nine American soldiers were
killed.
Every American hero sacrificed on
the altar of conquest is worth 10000
Tagals. Every American boy whose
life was bartered away last week for
Oriental trade was worth more to this
country and to his home than are all
the cheap coolie laborers- of Luzon.
But these sacrifices can be stopped any
day by giving the F'ilipinos the same
assurances of government that
congress has given the Cubans. And
this wholesale slaughter of @benighted
beings, who are naturally distrustful
ana resentful after three centuries of
Caucasian abuse and deception, may
be ended thus at once and without
shedding another drop of blood.
But William Mckinley has said that
Providence guided US into the Phil
lpplneS, and that "aS a missionary ma
ton we must remain" Senator Hanna
has said that it is our Christian duty
to hold and to govern these islanders"
With this in mind, The Herald asked,
WAS that wholesale killing) the kind
Of missionary work Christ taught his
disciples to do?"
The Deserat News of last evening re-
olied:
But who said anything about Christ
or missionary work in this connection?
The conflict in LuZon is not undertaken
in the name of any religion. 1t is, or
defined as hell"
This seems to correct the impression
gained from the perusal of another ar
ticle in the News that it finds satisfac-
ton in this slaughter Of the natives,
or justifies the war. From it's defini-
ton it cannot

our morning contemporary seems to
thlnk that inasmuch as. with the lights
then before US. we praised AguinaldO, il
IS shameful that we do not continue to
now.-Fribune.
Well. not so shameful as it is COW
ardly and treacherous. When our
morning contemporary lavished its
praises upon Aguinaldo it got him into
disrepute and trouble When it called
him a second Washington and demand
ed that he be treated as an ally of
Dewey. or, rather, as the principal
with the American troops as allies of
the FilipinOs it pulled the insurgent
leader up with pride and probably in
duced him to resent the sights it
claimed were put upon him by Cen
eral Merritt.
But the golden light Of the admins
tlation, in which our contemporary
sees all things now, makes him ap-
pear in a different aspect, as it does
everything else nowadays. and so the
organ copies lovingly the old Hbels cir
eulated about the Tagal leader by
Spanish officials during the war. which
were so indignantly resented by the
Tribune and Commercial Advertiser a
few months ago.
In this golden light Washington, Lin
coin, Clay, Franklin and all the great
exponcnts of AmericanisIn and cham
piOns of human liberty appear at the
same curious disadvantage
But the trouble is not with the men
or their utterances; it is with the new

alism live and move.

BILL "FIGGERS 1T OUT"

The Ogden Standard has finally sub
mitted an explanation of the presi-
dents Janus-faced attitude on the
Porto Rican question. There is a
Glasmannic humor about the summing
up which makes it worth repeating:
William Mckinley recommended free
trade between Porto Rico and the United
states, never for a moment dreaming that
such outrageous taxes had been collected:
never Tor moment dreaming that the
people of Porto Rico had been bled of the
last dollar and that the whole people were
poyerty-strlcken and practically paupers,
ana that on top of that a cyclone sWeDt
over the island razing thousands of
homes 10 the ground and turning tens
or thousands of people adrift without
nome or food. 1t was these conditions
that caused William Mckinley and the
Republican congress to change their
mind, so that instead of free trade thew
gave them a duty of 10 per cent of what
the Dingley bill charges.
So McKinley's official recommenda-
tons in his messages to congress are
made without a knowledge Of facts.
are they? And between December
1899, and February 1900, he learned in
some way that a cyclone had passed
over the island twelve months before
and that the Dingley taxes were still
in force. did he?
Bills explanation is ingenious, but
we suspect the syndicate politicians at
Washington know a reason for Nc
Kinley's fliD-fiop that will lay that of
the Standard completely in the shade.

difficult to understand why Tar

at religion, and only persons
whose consciences were more
concerned with the eXternals Of
IeIglon than the spirit could have

that the friends of the Able de RO-

OBJECT of Aioliere's satire, should have
resented the insinuation. But 1t was
probably the enemies ST ROquette, at

that in which OrgOn discovers the per-
tidy of Tartuffe represents high COM
edy at its best.
Moliere vas not a moralist or a
reformer. He took life as he saw it.
He did not pretend to teach. The mean
or gross mind will find it easy to reflect
itself in 'The School for Women" or
in some of the farces of which "Sgan-

farces which gave a theatrical troupe
an opportunity. Cardinal Richelieu
recognized the value of the drama as
a Civilizing process and brought the
play of manners-which is called in
France a cOmedy-intO fashion. The
picture Of the disappointed tragedian
in "Cyrano de Bergerac" will give a
clue to the condition of the drama in
the time of RichelieU. Having en-
ployed his hand for some time in
adapting from the Spanish and Ital-
ian farces, MOliere, in 1853, produced
Les Preeieuses Ridicules." The pre-
cieuse" was what in England was
later called a ''bluestocking."
AS time went on the lovers of ultra
refinement in letters and ultra-sensi-
bility in life became more and more
absurd. But when Moliere's Les Pre-
cieuses Ridicules' (The Absurd Blue
stockings) appeared, ''precieuse" be-
came as ridiculous an epithet as "aes-
thetic'' is now, and both meant about
the same thing All Paris laughed. A
new master of comedy had arrived,
but there were still touches of the
farce, of distasteful exaggeration about
Moliere. Comedy pure and simple with
out the farce element was demanded.
The methods of MOliere continued
to improve until they reached their
highest in The Misanthrope,' THE
Doctor in Spite of Himself and lie

evidences of the appreciation in which
