The worst part of sickness, frequsnt ly, is getting over it. 4 The patients strength is depleted, his system is generally demoralised, relapses are continually feared, and naturally.
 The one thing tosaid recovery isko give the patient that which will euabls him to get strong, and at the same tine give strength direct to the difersha organs of the body. , Nothing will do this like Vinol. i It acts directly on the stomach, erss ates 8 healthy appetite, spd enables the digestive organs to obtain the nec. essary clements to increase the wdkht of the patient and to make new healthy flesh and muscle tissue end pure, heh, red blood

ited by a wise and conservative law, which will protect the interests of the child and not work hardship upon the parent nor do injustice or injury to our manufacturing interests.
 A few statistics on this question may he of interest By the census report on cotton manufactuge in 1880, the total num- Der of operatives in our cotton factories in the States of the South was put down at 16,7H. Of this number 4,09S, or 2l.5 per cent were children under IS years of age In 190S the total number of operatives employed in the cotton factories of the South was 9.559. Of this number 24, g5O were children under l6 years. Twenty-Five per cent! In twenty years we had an in crease of operatives in the factories of the South of nearly 800 per cent, and a proportionate increase in the number of children employed. The matter has been practically left in the hands of the mill owners for twenty years. and no progress has been made in the care and protection of the children.
 In 1880 in the States outside of the South there were l55,soS operatives employed in the cotton faetortes, Of these 24.2aS were children under l6 years of age--about Is l-2 per cent, Tn 1900 the mills in the same section employed .20b,S03 operatives of this number To, 199 were children under I6 years This Is about 1-2 per cent only Thus it will be seen that tho South has increased the per cent of child labor, while the States outside of the south have reduced 1t about one-half, and this Is the statement of cold facts and figures and not the enthusiasm Of the sentiment talist.
 The question must be met. There is only one way to solve it. and that Is on the side of right and justice and human tty. The sooner 1t Is done the better for 1t can now be managed and a wise and just bill be passed. If the matter Is post poned from year to year we may regret

A Notable ssRed Sxan. i,

r The Hon. Gideon Morgan is an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee nation. He is a halfbreed, cousin of United States Sem ator Morgan, of Alabama, and holds a position of much prominence and in- Iluence among both Indians and white men throughout the Indian Territory he was the permanent chairman of the single Statehood convention recently held af Oklahoma City, and presided in such a dignihed. able and impartial way as 10 call forth the praise and admiration of the delegates and everybody else present The Okihenian in its reports of the meet ings of the convention, particularly extols the conduct and work of Mir. Morgan.
 Rut the compliments bestowed upon the Indian statesman for the ability and good iudEmspt he displayed on this occasion Is not so Interesting az the fact that a leading Oklahoma paper calls him, who Is only half Indian, representa- two Cherokee in every sense of the word,' and "a perfect type of the civil Nzed, educated American Indian" The oklahoman has an intimate knowledge of Indian life and affairs, and undoubted- iy has advisedly used these terms and phrases. And the natural conclusion to be drawn therefFom is that if MF. Nor are not fuiiblood Indians now existing In the country. This idea, however is not a new one. It prevails to a wide sEtent s1tent S smOpg the people of the United
  and custom of the Indians themselves nowadays, It Is the accepted belief that the red men were originally so-ealled be- cause of their color. The Indians of the territory are perhaps as near to their primitive state as the Indians in any other part of the nation are, and yet 1t would be impossible to flnd very many there. the color of whose skin would war rant the epithet of ''redmen." In fact, of the S,0O0 in the territory which the government classes as Indians, only l0 per cent are recognized as fnllbloods and even the latter have a copper or muddy yellow complexion.
 There were hundreds of thousands more Indians In this country when Columbus discovered 1t than Is shown to be here by the last census. But 1t would seem that the disappearance of the noble red man has been brought about not s5 much by war as by other and ReTltler in. fluences.

CHILD LABOR IN THE CARD
 TfNAg. sa@

&f&&I e@[s FfFfsN |. The csrolinas have not approached the
 subject of child labor with what George Eliot would caii "the Interest of isnor- ancer
 More than halt of all the capital in- vested in the manufacture of cotton in
 eur Southern states is invested in the States of North and South Car
 olina, This single interest represents in these states alone investments of more than sz2.lOs,Doe. Their em- ployes In shls single industry number
 more than so.oOo men, women and chill drsn.
 The industry has been conducted there as elsewhere with somewhat large de- pendence on the labor of the immature.
 The results of the employment of very
 young children for lesg henFs In manu-
 featuring establishments have been ob-
 served on a large scale. Upon a basis.
 therefore. not of theeretic sentimentalisH. |'but of sober experience. the people of the Carolinas have reached the,r verdict. They
 have tried the. thing and they have
 found 1t te be not only poor humanity but bad business.
 They have also found that the pledge of the Democratic Party in South Caro- lima. committing the parity to the pas- sage of child labor legislation, has not checked prosperity. They have found. upon the other hand, that the progress of the industry during the past year has been conspicuous and phenomenal. For our part we have little patience with the assumption thrat any great industry at the South is dependent for It's prcseerity upon the labor for long hours of little children under twelve years of
 age. Such a plea hurts the cot- ton min business far more than it l helps it. We are glad to see, therefore,
 that the wisest and strongest mills, here
 as well as in the Carolinas. aFe gradually
 and quietly withdrawing their opposition
 to the reasonable legislation now propos- ed in the Southern States. yts
 We have already printed the ringing
 words upon this subject in the recent
 message of tho Governor of North Caro-
 Iina.' We print elsewhere in'our. issue
 for today the words of the Governor of
 South Carolina. We would cali especial
 attention to the fcilcwinSg passage.
 We have rapidly grown Into . Eianu- facturing State and are being fprced to
 meet strong competition from ether sec tons. Viewing the question from this purely commercial standpoint, to meet
 this competition we must have skilled and intelligent labor. and this can only be secured in the operatives of the future by the education and preparation of the children sf the present. And the ehll- dren of the present cannot be educated and prepared for their duties and for good eitisenship h they are compelled to
 labor constantly in the mills during their
 tender years.
 The Advertiser believes that in those
 words the Governor of South Carolina
 has come very close to the expression
 of the common sense of the situation.

 According to the new liquor law of Eng land hshitual drunksaaess iis msds a felony.

If we accept that dtctum then how often must man get drunk to bring him within the limitf It reminds us of tne old woman who was asked if she object ed to her husband drinking.

 And so, if man who regularly gets drunk on Saturday nights Is not to be considered habitual drunkard would he be one if he gets drunk twice week: Or must he be full every day before he alis the bill: Thrs English courts may have the question before them and 1t will be Interesting to see how they sets tie it. It may be, too, that they will be required to fix some rule by which 1t can be told when a man is drunk. for one man win be comfortably full while an- other with the same quantity in him will not be able to distinguish his hat from his shoes. The lawyers will have a good time when such cases get into court

GUARD AGAINST PIGECN-Ho
 ING.

The two houses of the Legislature ought to make sure that they are not so tied up by rules as to prevent a majority from expressing it's will. The people have suf- feFed in the past from the practice of committees. pigeon-hoiding bills or re- 'fusing to report thsm.r A rule permitting a majority to call up an adversely report ed measure does meet the case asl to measures not reported on at all. It will be very easy for committees so minded to get around rule allowing adverse res ports to be called up, by pestponlng com mittee action.
 Another thing that ought to ba guarded against is rule, that will require so large a vote. to change a rule, that once adopted the required vote can never be secured. The majority should rule and that ruis will prevail when the rights of the people are respected.

ENFoapaD scHooL ArTENDANoE

We have read good deal in the papers of late on the subject of com pnlsory education. Like other important subjects there are two sides to 1t. Many good people favor it. and strong argu- ments can be brought forward in its fds vor. In this, as in other matters, therk is always the danger of injustice being done in the enforcement of any law which has for It's object compulsory school attendance. In a, recent issue of The Hartford, Conn, Times we find de- tails of a case in Massachusetts from which we make the following extract: The newspaper reports of the Plymouth County case. where woman was brought Into court by the School Committee of Halifax for refusing to send her two children to school, and was fined SI0 for the offepse, manifestly fan to supply the atmosphere. 50 to speak, which surround
 sss f. acaca apparsta that the lives three miles from the school to which her children would naturally be sent. The older of the children Is F and the younger has fits; and the committee they should attend this three miles away school and no othSr. The woman dis claimed any intention of keeping her cttI- dren from an education, but insisted that the conditions were such that she could not comply with this demand. She ask ed that the children be sent to a school in the heighboFlpg town Of Plympton, which was only mite and q half away, and to which there would be access by electric cars tn case Of stormy weather
 This the Halifax committee refused, as also a request that some provision be made for the transportation of the chil- dren to their own school. So the mother kept the children at homo, the committee brought her Into court, and she was fined $1O with two weeks given her to find the money, and what happens next remains to be seen. That the children wtll set any more education, except the education of bitterness against constituted author ity. does not seem to be clear.
 Here was case of genuine hardship which appears iHexeusable. but which might be repeated wherever school au- thorities are vested with such power as appears to be the case In Massachusetts. Of course it will be argued that such tyranny and absolute brutality is not likely to occur often or in many places, but the fact that it Is possible and that 1t did occur in one instance is evidence
 that the same or worse might happen at any other time or place. We agree with The Times that children under such cir-
 cunstances are more likely to learn bit-
 terness and hatred of such an education
 al system than they ere to acquire any
 education which may be useful to them.
 The case detailed Is discreditable to the
 community and authorities of a State
 which boasts of it's 'ducational emInence.
