The fare from Duluth to Little Falls

TRADE UNION "ANARCHY."

The following is taken from The
Outlook
The report in a Western labor paper
that two trades unions in Charlotte,
North Carolina, had taken two little
girls out of the factories and put them
in the schools at their own expenses
of the Charlotte Observer whether or
not the report was true. The answer
received reads as follows:
Charlotte Typographical Union and
the Railway Employees Union have
each adopted little girls, about ten
years Of age, taking them out of the
cotton mills where they have been en-
ployed, and it is the plan of other or
CARNATIONS here to do likewise. The
unions make a. contract with the
parents of the children to pay them
each week the wages they would make
in the mills upon the express condi-
ton that they attend school during the
entire term of the public institution in
heir school district. The promoters Of
the plan, after trial Of few months.
expressed themselves as we'll pleased
with the result. It is said that after
the scheme is fully inaugurated there
will be perhaps a dozen children re-
ceiving an education under the auspi-
ces of the labor unions of this city. :"
This policy cannot abolish child
labor in the factories, any more than
the old humane policy of buying the
freedom Of Individual slaves could
have abolished slavery, but the new
policy, like the old, by reason Of it's
concrete helpfulness will stir the heart
Of the nation more than scores Of re-
solutions against the false system, and
when the public heart is stirred the
system will go. Individual kindness
does not take the place Of humane
law, but it both. leads to it and mean
while accomplshes its -. own saving
work. :" = :; !. T

: BOST0N'S Low BIRTH RATE,
From the Medical News:

Not since 1904 have so few children
been born in Boston. In 1901. the BIRTH
rate was only 27:10. During the year
there was an actual gain in popula-
ton Of 4,275. The proportion Of native
white. of native: parentage is now only
'36 per cent Of the whole population
and many of these are but two removes
from an Immigrant ancestry. 1t is
evident that the old American stock is
dying out, and that it will inevitably
be replaced by the newcomers Of, the
end of the Nineteenth century and the
beginning OF. the Twentieth. The for
eignb born element constitutes one
third of the population, but contribut-

AT the same time it was renting at the
rate OF $4,000 per month. The owner
came to town one day last week, and
without making himself known went
Immediately to the house only to find
that it was occupied. He asked the
occupant several questions; found out
how long it was occupied, and what
rent was being paid. The lady said
that she was going to move, as the
agent would make no repairs, and the
owner was too poor"t to do anything.
The owner did not even make himself
known to the tenant, but when he ar

to Mrs. Hoyt. Mrs. Hoyt handed the

Three days after Mrs. Hoyt lost her
necklace Miss Schade was walking
through Twenty-third street on her
way to lunch when she saw the gems
glittering In the gutter. She con-
cluded that the stones were simply

A SIGNIFICANT WARMING,

Senator M: A. Hanna, in Cleveland,
Ohio, three weeks ago, at dinner
rendered to one Of New York's best
known financiers, in a speech, said:
"You gentlemen had better trim
your sails-for indications point to
the fact that one of the greatest
panics that the world has ever seen is
about to occur in the United States.
Workingmen of the country are dis
contented with their wages, and hold
that in proportion to- the great in
crease in the cost of food, wages have
not kept pace. That is statement
that can be readily proven by con-
sulting any Of the tables published
by either Bradstreet's or Dun's, and
of the political question the better it
will be for us and the business men
whose duty it is to help conserve.
II am anything but optimistic on
the situation. see very plainly the
storm clouds gathering on the politi-
cal situation. Workingmen are alb

only fifty-five roads publish such fig
ures, so that1,twenty--f1ve have disap-
peared. In few cases this is due to
the abandonment Of reports, but in far
the greater number the reason is found
in consolidation.
The roads that have disappeared
were at one time big factors in the
railroad world. Their names were on
the tongues Of investors and shippers
some are even a memory so completely
has their identity been merged in the
systems of which they are a part.
A partial list of such roads is of in

Eastern Illinois, Cincinnati, Jackson &

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE PASSES
=; .44:v>.. "A cHlE1*LABORsa l.

The Illinois Child Labor Law has
finally passed. It had a struggle for
it's life from it's Initiation through each
stage to the third reading in the Sc
nate. I'm Pennsylvania the glass man.
ufacturers succeeded in preventing the
passage of such a Child Labor Law. In
Illinois it was the glass manufacturers
who have fought it step by step.
When the Bill was introduced be-
fore the Labor Committee Of the House
prominent men and women from ali
over the State made eloquent and con-
vincing arguments for it's adoption Re-
personalities Of the Alton Glass Works
sat smilingly by, unmoved by the
stories of the illiteracy and invalidism
forced upon thousands of helpless
children in this state. They even went
so far as to claim that work was good
for children-the best possible educa-
ton. One Of the managers was asked
If his own children were enjoing this
tremendous advantage of working ten
hours day. He defended the night
work for children, and said they got
used to it. When asked if he thought
it good for little boys Of II to work
ten hours at night one week, and ten
by day the next week, he assured the
large and Intelligent audience that
they seemd to drive upon it.
One Of the clever members of the
House actually drew out an admission
from the manufacturers that if their
business interests were not involved
they would be in favor of passing such
a law. In other words, because of
the profit, they could squeeze out of
their 40 boys by night work, they were
using every effort to prevent the free
ing of the thousands Of child slaves in
Illinois.
The Kansas Legislature killed the
Child Labor Law Bill which provided
that no boy or girl under twelve shall
be employed in any factory, shop or
mine. Children are cheap in Kansas
and Pennsylvania, but fortunately they
have friends in Illinois.
The Illinois law provides an eight
hour day. an educational test, a very
safe age certificate clause, the prohi-
bition Of night work for children under
sixteen, and no child under fourteen
to be employed in any industry except
farming.
Miss Jane Adams of Chicago, it is
said, arrived ON the floor of the Senate
at the second reading of the bill, just
in time to prevent the addition of six
amendments which would have made
the bill a farce.

Prune the Tree to Save 1t,

From the Portland Oregonian:
The idea that to destroy monopoly is
to destroy business in erroneous and
the arguments upon which it rests are
specious. Business is promoted by hon
esty and not by injustice. Nothing is
more dangerous than false structures
of fair outward seeming, but supported
on insecure foundations. The idea that
to jostle the fabric of tariff inequalities
and monopolistic favors enjoyed by the
trusts will topple our whole productive
system over may be frightful con-
fession of industrial rottenness, but it
affords no guide for, wise statesman

SAINTS By MACHINERY,

From the Sydney Bulletin:
In the land Of trusts and dollars the
whistling solo is the latest feature of
the church service, and religion. SO far
at least as the great cities are con-
cerned, is degenerating into a weary
variety show. It is almost the only
thing left that is done by hand, there
fore there is a feeling that it is slow,
Anticipated, unreal and out Of date.
The sou[saving machine, whereby you
put the worst sinner in at one end and
a saint comes out at the other, will
yet be heard of in Yankeeland.
