ONE RIGHT ABRoaATFp.

In Chicago a man has been fined for
violation of the law regulating child
labor, says the Tacoma Ledger. The
showing was clear that the child was
made to work far longer than the statu-
tory period. The man made no denial
of this. He claimed the right to treat
the little one thus because the girl was
his own child. He could not hire the
child of a neighbor, but his own flesh
and blood he could enslave. he thought
and he was willing to do this. The court
called him down from an untenable po-
sition. The law, as it stands is bene-
hcent restraint upon the greedy or bru-
tai employer. If he is brutal and greedy
in his attitude toward the members of
his own household. there is nothing in
this circumstance to commend him.
There is no reason why his children
should be exempt from the protection
afforded by the measure. They need it
more than anybody else. To permit the
ignoring of the law in this particular
would open the way to practical nuIlih-
cation of it. Give the employer the
right to work his children to death and
he could, by appearing in the role of
guardian, have this right indefinitely ex-
tended. The man who must have the
help of babes in his business better get
out of the business

oTLnFRT,s FFFRoNTERY.

Mayor Gilbert of Kansas City won't
close the gambling houses because other
city administrations have tolerated
them. He says it would not be fair to
the keepers of the places.
This is something new in the admin
istration of the laws of Kansas. OF
course Mayor Gilbert knows that the
Kansas laws make gambling and the
keeping of gaming houses a felony. He
tacitly admits that these resorts are
being conducted in the municipality
over which he presides. 1t would be the
usual thing in the light of this knowl
edge for the mayor to order his police
to arrest the keepers and have them
tried for felony.
But Mayor Gilbert rises superior to
the law. He will not modest these out
laws because other mayors have not.
What a commentary on the law. Fol.
lowing up Mayor Gilberts theory it
would be proper for an officer to wink
at robbery and murder simply because
the perpetrators had been in the habit
of committing those crimes. The pub
lie welfare is not to be considered, only
the comfort and pleasure of the people
who openly defy the law and prey upon
the community.
Kansas City must be in a bad way
indeed when it tolerates such an ex-
ecutive as Mayor Gilbert.

WILL PLAY SATURDAY.
Kansas City and Topeka High
Schools to Meet

The Topeka High school football team
will play their first game of the season
with the team of the Central High school
of Kansas City at Washburn park next
Saturday.
This game is generally considered one
of the most important games of the sea-
son in high school football circles. The
Kansas City team was defeated last year
at Topeka by the score of IS to O. The
Topeka team had very strong team last
year and held the honors of being cham
pions of Kansas and Missouri academy
schools. This year they have lost two
of the best players-Arthur Griggs and
John F1eishman-who are attending K. L.
at Lawrence.
Frank Griggs. captain of this years
team. has been playing with the high
school for three years. He started play
ing on the team when he was sub-fresh-
man and is known all over the state as
one of the best field generals of the
school. He deserves great deal of credit
for the way in which he is managing the
team. as he has only four of last year
players and the rest ara new material.
Johnson, who plays fullback, was on the
team last year and is a good man for that
position.
The high school has an excellent sched-

A large crowd of rooters is expected to

JUDGMENT REDUCED
IN WEAVER CASE
Jury's Award of So, 500 is Cut Down
to $4,000 by Judge
Ramsay.

Judge Ramsay handed down an
opinion this afternoon in the Weaver
damage suit case, cutting down the
award of $500 made by the jury to
$1,000, with the provision that in case
the plaintiff refuses to accept the mo-
ton of the defendants attorneys for
a new trial will be granted.
This action was taken on a motion
to set aside judgment and grant a
new trial which was argued before
the court this morning by Attorney
f. w. Hurst, for the Tri-city com
pany, and Attorneys Searle and In
gleson, for the plaintiff. The case
grew out of a broken leg sustained
by Weaver at Eighteenth street, in
Moline, when street car ran into
his milk wagon.
j. f. Witter, attorney for Ed Saley,
otherwise known as "Blackie'' Will
liams, who was convicted OF petty
larceny, will endeavor to prove that
the defendant is insane. Afiidavits to
that effect were filed in the circuit
court yesterday afternoon. \ motion
for new trial has been filed and the
hearing postponed till the next term
of court.
