THE BEAM. IN OUR EYE.

The unexpected revelation before the
antracite arbitration tribunal that the
silk mills of Scranton not only keep
young children at work, but actually
cause little girs to work at night for
twelve hours at a stretch, brings the
child problem in labor once more be-
fore the public. That incident is most
unfortunate not for its bearing on the
mining trouble, but because it gives
color, if not substance, to the principal
response which is being made to the
demand that child labor shall be dis
continued in the South. That response
is that the demand is the product of
Northern hypocrisy and opposition to
the South.
T h e G. o b e has repeatedly express
ed the conviction of the people of this
state and section that the treatment
of the children of the South in keeping
them employed in their tender youth
is a public crime. 1t has pointed to the
splendid record which this state has
on the subject being the lowest on the
list of states in the proportion between
the children and the adults employed in
existing industries. 1t is something to
be able to show that statistics prove
that Minnesota has fewer children at
work when they should be at school
or at home in proportion to it's adult
population than any state in the
Union. 1t ought, too, be a source of
deep pain to Southern people that these
same statistics prove that they are the
chief offenders against this law of hu-
manity which seeks to leave to the
child it's childhood.
But the Scranton incident shows
very clearly that the South is not the
only offender, and that states which
boast their progress and wealth and
general enlightenment have little cause
to brag. We do not expect anything
in Pennsylvania. It's sources of public
opinion and action seem to be thor
oughly polluted. But it is much to be
feared that the child who is the victim
of its parents greed does not find it's
home exclusively in any section of the
country, OF In any state.
The legislature of Georgia has re-
fused to remedy the shameful condi-
tions with reference to children which
is maintained in it's growing cotton
industries. It yielded to the claim put
forward so shamelessly by the factory
owners that the demand for the liberia
tion Of the children is the mere express
sion of sectional jealousy and prejudice
Jealous of the advancement of the
South. All rejoice in its progress, and
would promote rather than hinder that
progress. We have not ourselves
reached the gratifying conditions which
prevail without persistent effort on the
part of humane people. Let us then
have charity toward the Southern COM
munities which take so narrow a view
of the situation. But let us not lessen
our efforts at the creation of a univer-
to factory work of any kind, or taking
them from school under any circu:n-
stances is a crime against humanity it
self
1t is a great humane undertaking
which underlies the rescue Of the chill
dren from becoming the victims of
greedy and conscienceless commercial
ism; and it is plainly one that must
be maintained throughout the entire
country before it can be made univer-
sally successful among US.

The production of "Ben Hur" on the
stage of the Metropolitan theater will
prove to be the most important the
atrical event in the history of st. Paul
in recent years. Founded upon one
of the really great literary produc-
tions of the generation, the stage rep
resentation is without doubt worthy
the book. Aside from the merit of the
performance as an entertainment. it
has distinct educational features, in
which respect it differs vitally from

stage nowadays.

The first train on the Chicago Great
Westerns line thru Iowa in rtyeight
hours left Marshalltown at 10:40 Fri
day night. The train was the Chicago
Il st. Paul limited, No. ., and bore thru
the city q large number of people who
had been delayed greatly IN reaching
their destinations north and east.
When the washouts caused by Wednes-
day nights rain delayed trains ut this
point, and caused them to be held here
nearly all of Thursday others on the
south were annulled. and held at the
leaving points, Kansas City and Des
Moines. 1t was found impossible to get
the track in shape in the flooded dis
trict near Rcinbeck and 1t was consid-
cred the best course to cease running
them altogether until the trouble was
overcome. 1t is expected now that
trains will be able to make schedule
time. Two or three delayed trains
from the north passed thru the city
Friday night.
The Great Western trains that We're
held at this point Thursday awaiting
chance to detour, via the Northwestern
and Cedar Rapids and r., c. r. N.
for Waterloo, were further delayed
after leaving here. In the Tama yards
the water was running over the tracks

cred dangerous TO allow trains to pass.
and the Great Western passengers We're
again held until the water could be
drained off the right -of-way and the

Owing to the washouts on the b., c.

touring began Thursday afternoon and
three trains were sent west, the first
arriving in the afternoon, the second at

From here the trains We're transferred
TO the Central. and sent north to Abbott

An instance of the extent TO which

is the pet of this establishment All day
long he stands knee deep In n soft bed
OF straw in a large box stall, while his
snoM white coat fairly glistens with
the rubbing and care and good feed he
receives. His only work Is to report for

three loads of mail. The distance to the

the time when their faithful horse has
even painted for breath. If the good Ia
dies of the Humane Society would come
around we would loan the horse for he
really needs more exercise. But think
of the cruelty our fire department is
guilty of when they allow their noble
beasts to run several miles at time

Prince is fully as we'll trained, Is just
as we'll kept and has even an easier
time than the intelligent animals so
greatly admired In our new fire de-
partment. In fact. the Humane Society
had better busy itself with the case of
the boy who dares to abuse our pet, but
the trouble all arises from the fact that
some good women, who mean we'll

between good horse and a black cat.
