THE CHILD LABOR QUESTION.

The question of child labor in fac
tories is receiving attention elsewhere
than in the Southern states. The
labor organizations of New Jersey are
making bitter attacks on the Govern
or of that state for failing to have the
law which provides that children I'M
der twelve years of age shall not be
employed in factories in that state en-
forced. OF course the Governor pleads
that it is the duty of the state factory
inspector to have 1t enforced, but the
labor organizations take the ground that
it is the duty of the Governor to re-
move him if he fails to do his full duty.
This child labor question is forging
to the front here in the South-rather,
having been at the front for a consid-
cradle time, the pressure in favor of
legislation to preevnt the employment
of children in factories except under
certain conditions is becoming so strong
that Legislatures will not dare to put
the question aside with the view of get
ting rid of it without any definite ac-
ton upon it. 1t is probable that in
many factories there is an effort to
deal humanely with the children en-
ployed in them, but the children under
twelve years of age ought not to be
in them at all. And they wouldn't be
there if it were not for the interest of
manufacturers to have them. They are
employed because their labor is cheap.
1t is doubtless true that there are
Instances where children are the sup
port of an invalid mother. More Oft
en-, however, they are the support OF
lazy and dissipated father.
The children ought to have a chance
for at least enough education to en-
able them to read and write. They
ought to have chance to develop their
bodies In childhood sports so that they
would not be bent and old and prac-
tically invalids by the time they were
thirty years of age. The factories
promise TO look after the welfare of
the children in their employment. but
a law for their protection is better
than any promise,

ROTH SIDES DETERMINED.

1t is a safe prediction that the time
is not distant when there will be set
Element of the strike in the anrhra-
cite coal region. Each of the contend
ing parties is very emphatic in an
nouncing to the public that it will not
yield a single point. Mr.. Mitchell, pres
ident of the United Mine Workers, says
that the strikers are prepared to hold
out indefinitely, and that they will not
return to work until their demands are
conceded. On the other hand the pres
idents of the coal roads and other op-
orators declare that they will make no
concessions, and that they will not ar
bitrate any of the questions which the
strikers have raised. They say that
they are simply waiting for the stri-
kers to go to work.
1t is worthy of notice that Senators
Quay and Penrose of Pennsylvania
have been asked by the strikers to
use their influence to have the strike
brought to an end. In reply the pres
idents of the coal roads say poll
ticians will not be permitted to run
our business"
1t would seem from the talk of the
operators and the president of the
strikers union that there was not a
ray of hope for an early settlement
of the strike, but those who have
studied strikes of this kind know that
the most warlike talk Immediately
precedes, as a rule, settlement.
There may be of course some violence
before an agreement is reached. In
deed some lives may be lost, but that

THE BIGGEST FAKE OF ALL.

The Elks have passed a resolution
against street fairs; for which they
deserve the thanks of long suffering
public. If there is one fake bigger
than another 1t is the street fair. In
the first place it is an aggregation of
gaudily advertised tents with nothing
in them worth seeing and in the next
place the gang that accompanies the
show, with few exceptions, is made up
of toughs of the toughs who are a
dangerous temporary addition to the
community. The percentages given by
the street fairs to those under whose
auspices they hold forth amount prac-
tically to nothing; but by municipal
liberality, on account of the alleged
beneficiary, these shows are exempted
from taxes which better shows are
compelled to pay. The idea that the
street show is a fair, which it is not,
attracts crowds of young people from
the country who would much better
not see what little there is to be seen
in the tents of the fake shows. If
the decision of the Elks not to indorse
or encourage these street fairs will in
any way help to abate the nuisance of
them, the order will indeed have
proved itself to be benevolent and
protective"

China1nen Are ingenious.

A certain newspaper man who was
induced to try a stylographic pen
got it out of order by reckless treat
ment and took it to a pen shop for re-
pair, says the Philadelphia Times The
man there soon showed him that there
was nothing serious the matter with it.
the only trouble being that he had neg
lected to do some little thing in using
it. Then he began to take the pen
apart for the newspaper mans instruc-
tion so that he might see how simple
a thing it is.
Simple" cried the indignant owner
of the instrument, sit is as complicated
as a Chinese puzzle! 1 don't wonder
that l can't make it go when l want
to!'
The penman laughed.
You remind me-" he said. that
there is a Chinese in this town who
used stylographic regularly. He
came here to buy one several months
ago, and when 1 showed it to him he
began to take it all apart. 1 hurriedly
stopped him, supposing that he would
do it an injury, but he at once put
down the value of the pen,. saying that
it was his and then continued his dis
section of it. 1 give you my word that
he handled the pen more deftly than
the man that made it, and in five min
utes he had put it together again so
that it worked better than it did at
first. Those fellows beat the world at
understanding little details. Now, an
1rishman or an American beg your
pardon-could never have done that;
and, remember, it was the first pen OF
the kind the Chinese ever saw"

A MODERN "t:REAT MAN"

There is no more picturesque career
in contemporary history than that of
John w. Gates. A dozen years ago he
was unheard of outside the small circle
of his own acquaintance; then he be-
gan to make a little stir in the West
by his operations in steel and wire. and
for the past two or three years he has
been a looming figure in New York,
Chicago and other financial centers.
During the past twelve months no indi-
vidual has occupied so much space in
the newspapers. Almost daily certain
of the metropolitan newspapers have
had stories of his exploits, Illustrated
with his portrait-how he made mill
ions cornering a railroads shares, or
cornering the market for some provi-
sion product, or squeezing Wall street
in some other way by a bold deal; or if
he was not batting the bulls or the
bears, the stories would be about how
he won tens of thousands of dollars in
a poker game or on a horse race. It
has been Gates did this" and Coates
did that" until he has come to be one
of the big figures in the news and one
of our great" men.
And yet what has Mr.. Gates to re-
commend him to public notice more
than his capacity and success as a
money getter? He is not noted for cru
dition, refinement. charity or benevo-
lence. He buys art sometimes, but he
is not an art connoisseur. He has ac-
cumulated millions. but the probabilities
are that he has spent more for cham
payne than for charity. When he first
attempted to enter New York financial
circles his reputation was such that the
leaders of Wall street would have moth
ing to do with him; and the New York
newspapers which to a greater or less
extent cater to Wall street laughed and
jeered al him. But Gates went on his
way. gambling and winning, both with
stocks and with cards and races, until
his millions made him no longer to be
laughed at. And now the newspapers
are quoting him as a prophet and an
epigrammist. One of his latest prophe-
cies is that the era of combinations
Cor trusts will be the golden era of the
United States" Some of his epigrams
are: You can as we'll suppress the
wind as do away with gambling" THE
fellow who makes up his mind to be
right all the time will be busted al
ways" These expressions may give
some insight into the mans character.
He not only believes in gambling, he
says, and practices it even to the ex-
tent of gambling with his own son, but
he would license it and thus make it
respectable; that is, as far as the law
can do any such thing. At all events
there is no veneer on Mr.. Gates.

says: Greene and Gaynor must regard
Peter Power with supreme contempt.
Think of an American tourist in Can
ada going back to the states volunta-
rily!"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: THE failure of last years corn
crop was the beef trusts excuse for
dear beef: but we do not observe that
the billion bushels of corn now i'm
pending in excess of the demand for
home use have frightened the trust a
cents worth"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
Having herded the Pima Indians to-
gether in the Arizona desert, pater-
nal government looks on benignly
while the noble Caucasian steals their
water supply, leaving them with every
prospect of perishing. The treatment
OF the Indians by the United States
government during the last century
is well calculated TO inspire our Fill
pino friends with admiration for the
beauties of benevolent assimilation"
The Baltimore Sun (DemO says:
"Mr. Morgan in the role of a captain
of industry and capital is one of the
most interesting figures in the world.
AT present he seems to be firmly es-
tablished in his sphere of operations.
But II may be well for him To take in
10 his calculations those forces which

Wrong Citation.

The retirement of Justice Gray. of
the United States Supreme Court, has
furnished a text for many ren:inis-
cences of his earlier days, says the
New York Tribune. While ne was a
member of the Supreme Court of Mas
sachusetts he had an amusing expert
ence with a certain Boston lawyer, an
exceedingly pious man with a taste for
eVangelization, who had his letterheads
printed with a verse from Scripture in
large type following the name and ad-
dress. On one occasion, having to make
an ex parte preliminary argument be-
fore Judge Gray in chambers, in
which it would be necessary to disclose
certain parts of his clients case which
he desired not to make generally pub
lie until the trial. he wrote tine judge
note, asking that he be allowed an
opportunity to speak to him in pri-
vate. He was somewhat chagrined
when his note came back to him. with
a scrawl across the bottom: Request
denied, with a suggestion from the
court that counsel base future petitions
on a more appropriate citation"
For moment he could not make out
the meaning of this. as he was not
aware that he had quoted any law: but
glancing up the page he discovered
that he had written his note on let

A Way rhey Have in Michigan.

-Four years. ago." said a Northern
Michigan former. according to the
Detroit Free Press. "a Chicago man
happened to be in my neighborhood
on business. 1t somehow came out
that he had a son who had just lost
his voice, and, meeting the father
said to him: If it's true that your
son has lost his voice, you might send
him up here for a few weeks.
What for? says he.
Ito find his voice. says I.
How can he do it?"
I'll set him to driving oxen
81 told him 1 had known of lost
voices being restored that way, and
after thinking it over, he said he'd
send the son along. The young Teller
arrived the next week, and his was
bad case He couldn't speak to be
heard five feet away. 1 had yoke
of oxen that were up to all kinds OF
mean tricks. and nothing but yelling
would make EN- pull over 100 pounds.
1 had the young Teller use 'em to
draw up jags of wood and haul fence
rails where they were wanted, and he
got along all right for a week.
Then I set him to haul some timber
out of the woods, and I went into hid
ing to see the fun. When he started
the oxen up they barely Strengthened
the chain. He put on the CAD but 1t
was no use. What them oxen was
used TO was yells and whoops and
cuss words, and they meant to have
EN- or stand right there.
THAT chap put on the CAD and
jumped up and down and threw
stones and clubs, but the oxen jest
looked at him and chewed their cuds.
He worked at 'em for a full hour
gertin' madden and madden all the
time, and there were tears in his eyes
and he was jumpin on his hat, when
he suddenly busted out swearin'. His
voice came to him all of a sudden,
and the way he did go on was awful
to hear. He called them critters a
hundred bad names, and he cussed
'em from horns to hoofs, and even
folks gon' by on the road stopped to
listen. The oxen was too surprised to
move for ten minutes, but all at once
they heaved ahead and went off on the
run with stick of timber 16 feet long.
1t was a sudden and complete cure for
what allied the young man.
He wanted to stay for a week or
two longer, to be sure that he had act
ually got his voice back, but l turned
him off next day. Had to do it, you
fog-horns, and when he asked the old
woman at supper time to pass the but
ter, that voice of his shattered four
plates and toppled the teapot off the
