TO PREVENT cHILD5LABoR.
To Pass Law at Next Session Of the
Mississippi Legislature.


JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 1s.-An effort is
being made in Mississippi to have the next
legislature adopt an amendment TO the
labor laws of the state now on the statute
book. preventing the working or employ
ment In mills. factories, etc, Of children
Of tender years. This movement has been
started and those who are at the head of
II state that they viii never tire until
such a law is passed. The laboring people
of the state are making this movement,
and in their strength they say that they
can meet with nothing but success, and
that the next legislature viii pass a child
labor law.
For the legislature to consider the mat
ter at all It will be necessary for the gov
ernor to call special attention to the ques-
ton In his message, and toward this end
the editor of The Labor Journal of Mis-
sisslppi has written a strong communica-
ton to the governor urging him to en-
body such a suggestion in the message to
the legislative body, which meets during
the month of January. Governor Longino
has given out no information as to what
he will do in the matter, but If he does
not embody the question in his special
message to the legislature II will be
brought up when that body convenes
again in regular session.
The letter written to the governor is
strong and to the point. 1t says that in
the Stonewall Cotton mills children be-
tween the tender ages Of 10 and IL are en-
ployed and are made to work from - to-1S
hours a day and are forced to undergo
many hardships and privations, and that
these children are wearing their lives
away with neither the opportunity of edu-
cation nor facility for the healthful recre-
alton which is Necessary for the proper
development both of body physically and
mentally.
Whether the laboring men of the state
and those who are at the head of this
movement will meet with success yet re-
mains to be seen, but it Is shure they will
make determined effort for the passage
of slich a law.

deliberate word with the man who drops
in upon him. His beautiful home at No
1,16S Delaware avenue is a palace wherein
there is over good fellowship and a hearty
welcome for him who enters Often Il Is
a workshop OF the busiest sort, but al
ways it is John G. MiIburn's home. and
that means IL Is a place where whole
souled hospitality belongs with the at
mosphere.
Nor is he alone the maker Of the at
morphere of hospitality IN the Delaware
avenue home. Mrs Afiiburn is a woman
Of the kindliest disposition, and has much
of her husbands studiness Of character.
They have three son, john George Jr.,
and Devereux, who are in Oxford uni
versity, England, and Ralph, who is much
younger. The Milburn home Is situated
in one Of the most delightful sections Of
Buffalo, on a broad avenue. where the
morning sun and the fresh air from the
park reach 1t unobstructed. and in all
the land the unfortunate president could
not have fallen in a spot where his every
need would have been more carefully sup
piled.
Never but once since his coming to
America } as Mr.. Milburn had his resi-
dence outside Of western New York
Shortly after being admitted to the bar
he went to Denver, Colo, where he form
ed a law partnership with United States
Senator Edward WOlcOIIs DuL ne ulQ lVL
like the west, and after years residence
in Denver returned to Buffalo, where he
has since lived.
Like their father. his sons are bigs
fellows, and In the last year the newspa-
pers of the United States nave told some
gratifying things about the achievements
of the Milburn boys in the athletic con-
tests at old Oxford The good work OF
his boys Is a matter Of considerable graft
iacation to Mr.. Milburn. and added 70
his pride as a father is also the pride that
his boys are Americans, and as such have
won their laurels.
John q. Mnburn came to America a
poor, boy, and the success he has acbiexed
has been due wholly TO his own industry
and strength of character. After he had
begun TO make some Roadway as lawyer
in Buffalo he sent for his younger broth
er, Joseph, in England. and started him
on the road to the legal profession. But
Joseph did not take easily to the law,
and turning his mind to more serious
things studied for the ministry and IS
now a successful pastor Of church IN
Chicago.

After the dinner hour In the evening many
business men who are members of the club
came down TO vote, and the rooms were
crowded until 9 o'clock, when the polls were
closed. Every candidate was active, and
as the prospective voter entered the door
a dozen hands were laid upon him and cards

er was biting cold a number of the "regu-

The developments of the last few hours

The most noteworthy of these were the
cards which A. NJ. Glossbrenner. candidate

set the effect of Tom Wynne's automobile
cartoon. In the foreground is the picture
