cH1LpLABoR IN SOUTHERN MILLS.

-. In a recent issue the Chattanooga CTenn) Trades
man publishes a number Of letters from Southern
miItowners presenting their side OF the case in the
matter of the employment of child labor, concerning
which there has Of late been SO much unfavorabls
comment.
The Tradesman takes this action in the interest Of
fair play, these letters constituting the concluding ar
ticle of an investigation of Child Labor In Southern
Textile Mills" and a belief is expressed that the dis
passionate statements" of Southern mil-owners will
afford the reader more truth than "the statements Of
irresponsible writer's and unbalanced enthusiastic The
letters may justly be considered as giving a hearing
to the defense In the case at issue; and perhaps to
some extent explain the tolerance OF a certain amount
of child labor by public opinion in the South.
The Literary Digest, published in New York, gives
considerable space to these letters from Southern mill
owners remarking that It is an interesting occasion
to examine their frame of mind, and learn what they
think Of it all. The Digest divides the writer's into
four c-lasses-those who employ no children, those
who employ only children whose parents are disabled.
those who employ children and build churches,
schools, libraries, baths. etc, for them, and those who
employ children and frankly defend the practice as
such.
One representative official of q Southern cotton
mill states that his concern. is careful not to employ
any children under twelve years Of age. Another says
his firm employs none under twelve unless the par
ents deceive u.s. Six children under twelve are en-
ployed ny one mill for the sake OF their widowed
mothers twenty-five are employed in another mill
which hires such only when 1t is '-imporfuned to-"

How was dueling stopped? Only by the evolution OF a
code Of public sentiment which made IT a misdemeanor
to insult ones fellows by word or decd. and removed the
one ground upon which men OF honor had reason to de-
fend the duel How shall indiscriminate betting be
stopped? II our parallel holds good. by the same means.
We have done away with habits OF direct insult. Let us
do away also with that indirect mode OF Insult which
arises from the habit of glorihcation OF ones self at the
expense Of the earth in general We have learned to de-
spIse swagger when IL Is intended to give onense to an
Individual. Let US carry our ethics farther. and desplse

us have our condemnation felt in practice II We have

unworthy Of gentlemen. the only present justification for

take care Of Itself.

700 pairs per day, which will soon be in
creased to 1000 OF more

mill at Newport for the season. Owing to
the ice clearing out of the lake so early
they were enabled to start work much ear
lier than usual They will employ about }5
hands and cut about 100000 feet of lumber
this season.
The firm of Heal < Wood has full crew
at work this spring and has large amount of

of a public library on the lower classes
having no books at all !; on the higher classes
desiring to vary their reading matter, and
on the scientific man wishing to study a
variety of subjects, cannot be estimated
If keeping the people more contented and
happy if keeping young people interested
in good literature and science; if keeping
men from saloons and gambling dens, are
worthy objects, public libraries in the cities
are great success. You must of necessity
respect the worth of such an institution,
when you consider the possibility of arous-
ing the genius of some individual, per-
haps destined to become great inventor !;
when you realize the assistance and support
which many books may give to people, be-
fore, inaccessible to them. 1t has been said
that the libraries of Carnegie have been
more a hindrance than help to the cities
receiving them, as they are compelled to
pay all the current expenses; but if they
could view the matter in the proper light,
they would soon see the value and necessity
OF such institutions. '04.

Rev. T. De Witt Talmage Dead.

WASHINGTON, April Is. The Rev. T. De
Witt Talmage, the famed Presbyterian
clergyman, died at nine o'clock last night at
his residence in this city. 1t has been evil
dent for several days that there was no
hope of recovery and the attending physi
clans SO informed the family.
The patient gradually grew weaker, until
life passed away so quietly that even the
members of the family, all of whom We e
watching at the BEDSIDE, hardly knew that
he had gone. The immediate cause of death
was Inflammation of the brain.
DR.. Talmage was in poor health when
he started away from Washington for Mex
leo for vacation and rest six weeks ago.
He was then suffering from influenza and
serious catarrhal conditions. Since his re-
turn to Washington he has been quite ill.,
Until Thursday, however, fears of his
death were not entertained.
The last rational words uttered by Dr..
Talmage were on the day preceding the
marriage of his daughter, when he said
''Of course l know you, Maud" Since
then he had been unconscious.
At Dr. Talmage's bedside, besides his
wife, were these members of his family +:
The Rev. Frank Dewitt Talmage of Chi
cago; Mrs. Warren G. Smith and Mrs.
Daniel Mangam of Brooklyn; Mrs. Allen
E. Donnau of Richmond; and Mrs. Clar-
ence Mycoff and Miss Talmage of Wash
ington.
Arrangements were completed today for
the funeral service in this city over the re-
mains of DR.. T. Dewitt Talmage. The
funeral will take place at O'Clock Tuesday
afternoon from the church of the Covenant.
The services will be very simple. There
will be no funeral sermon, but short ad-
dresses concerning the life and works of
DR.. Talmage will be made by men who have
been Intimately associated with him. At 8
O'Clock Wednesday morning the interment
will take place in the family lot at Green
wood cemetery, Brooklyn.

Cumberland's Sheriff Question.

The Republicans of Cumberland county
are booming Dr.. John l. Sturgis Of new
Gloucester as candidate for sheriff. The
Press says it is a case of the office seeking
the man. He is well known throughout the
county. Never having held a county Office or
any other office outside of his town excepting
that of pension examiner he is nevertheless
well known and much respected every
where. He is man of great decision of
character and with mind all his own. He
has never been an active politician, but has
been a consistent Republican during his
entire life. A veteran of the civil war DR..
Sturgis not only has fine record but he is
very popular in Grand Army circles as we'll
as in the medical profession where his abil-
ity and professional knowledge has given
him high rank.
His friends claim that he is the only man
the Republicans can nominate who can be
elected and they say that his election will
be sure because those who know the man
can never question his sincerity as pro-
hibitionist. He has been temperance man
all his life and is in thorough sympathy with
the prohibitory law and its enforcement.

Waldo County Rescript.

Ella A. NJ. Wiggin VS.. Joseph H. Mullen
ct ais. Rescript, Strout, j.
In 1919 Joseph Stetson gave by parole to
the town of Lincolnville lot of land 100
feet square for a town house. The lot was
bounded on two sides by highways, and on
the other two sides it was not fenced, till
within a few years, when the defendants,
by direction Of the selectmen, erected a
fence there. This fence was within the 100
feet square. The action is trespass for en-
tering and building the fence.
In 1920 Lincolnville built town house
upon the lot, and has used it as a town
tiff owns the adjoining land She claims
that the title of the town extended only to
the space occupied by the town house.
Upon all the evidence it is the opinion of
the court that the town has acquired and
now has absolute title to a lot 100 feet
square, according to the original gift. The
fence complained of being within that limit,
the defendants are not guilty Of trespass.

ADVANTAGE OF PUBLIC LIBRARY.
During the last ten years there has been
decided increase in the number Of public
libraries in the United States The many
towns and cities which have been enabled
to build libraries through legacies, and
funds willed to them, added to the generous
endowments of Andrew Carnegie, tend to
promote interest and advancement in litera-
ture everywhere. Knowing this, the less
fortunate cities soon catch the fever and
the citizens exert themselves to the utmost
to raise the necessary funds. The influence
