HUMANITY AND ECONOMIC LAW.

1t is intensely interesting to observe
the progress reported by the govern
ment Of Germany on the rstriction and
limitation Of child labor in that coun-
try A matter of ten or fifteen years
ago the legend made in Germany"
was sign of cheapness and a bug
bear to the merchants and manufac-
turers of all the rest Of the world. The
German invasion was then as much
talked of and as greatly dreaded as
the American invasion is today. It
was less sensational, in that it dealt
more generally with the smaller and
less conspicuous objects of trade.
Toys of every kind, light knick-knacks
for the table and for the bedroom.
minor articles of clothing like hosiery
and gloves, and all the ten thousand
petty commodities that enter into
trade were the particular province Of
the German manufacturer. He made
these excellently and so cheaply that
the price lists of the world were fairly
swamped by the flood that he turned
out.
To no small extent was this success
due to the employment of child labor
in various German industries. OF
course that is not sufficient to account
for all, but it was an important eIe-
ment. Child labor is cheap, and its
products can easily undersell those of
the countries in which it is carefully
prohibited. Yet the intelligent and
humane leaders of public opinion in
the German empire have thought this
success not worth the price paid for it.
The laws regulating the employment of
children in manufacturing and me-
chanical industries have been made
steadily more and more stringent, and

The st. Paul Globe has forged to
the fore by adding an eight-page color
ed comic-1and magazine section to it's
Sunday issue. This places the Sunday

papers and is an innovation that will
be highly appreciated by it's readers.
The Sunday Clio b e will carry forty
pages.
The Daily Clio be has long held it's
place as the leading Democratic paper

lavish all our care and our resources
upon the human derelicts who float,
unhappy and irreclaimable hulks, upon
the dark waters of our time. We
build great institutions, we erect re-
formatories, we construct asylums and
we turn the vigor and the resources of
society and of the state toward the
work of retaining those who have
become fixed in evil ways. Before our
eyes. as we labor with this hopeless
task, recovering here and there from
the pit man or woman after the
years of active life have gone by,
there is this great army of little ones,
capable of redemption, moving with
swift and careless infant feet toward
the gulf of death.
Almost nothing is done to restrain,
to instruct and to reform the child I'M
til he has become an incorrigible. Any
society that could breed these young
men now in custody after a series of
abominable crimes is unfit to call it.
self civilized, and unequal to the most
fundamental and elementary demands
upon constituted authority. This in
difference to the fate and the daily de-
cisive fortunes of the young, with
whom rests our entire future as So
ciety and as a nation, is the astound-
ing crime of our age, and the mega
ton at once of our claims to phi
lanthropy and-to civilization.

the number of children so employed

has been greatly reduced.
Statistics presented show a reduc-
ton in certain industries from 27 ,685 in
1890 to 1854 in 1900. This legislation
was, of course, very superficial, and
five years ago the imperial govern
ment ordered another investigation,
covering the children outside of manu-
featuring establishments, who were
employed by small concerns and at
home in labor when they should have
been at school. This disclosed more
than half million children of school
age so employed, and the regulations
to correct the evil have been multi
piled and made more severe With the
minute supervisory power bestowed
and exercised by the German govern
ment, child labor will presently be re-
duced to a minimum or entirely stamp

that every child should have it's fair

know. Their doctrine is not only sound

THE FIGHT AGAINST TU5ERcU-
IOSIS.

The proposed state league for Min
nesota to eradicate tuberculosis ought
to secure warm, hearty and generous
support. There is less reason why this
disease should menace the public
health or why it should carry off many
victims annually than there is for any
other of the accidents to life or health
commonly classed as preventable. Tu-
berculosis may still be a plague and
scourge, but its ravages can no longer
be referred to piously as the act Of
God. Wherever it claims a victim, that
is distinctly and positively an act of
man.
We are doubly safeguarded here
against the incursions of this disease.
Years ago, when it was still regarded
as hereditary, when the only hope of
the person whom it assailed was to find
a palliative, the climate of Minnesota
became famous as practically a spe-
cific against the disease. If the patient
came here early enough and was pa
tient and persistent in taking plenty Of
outdoor exercise and breathing only
pure air, he was practically sure of
recovery. Thousands Of people now
living in perfect health in this and
other states, who were formerly told
that they had but few months to live,
can attest the truth of this.
But tuberculosis is no longer an I'M
pestilence walking in darkness and
striking whom it will. Being shorn Of
terrors. 1t has been proved to be
strictly not a hereditary but a COM
municable disease. 1t can originate
that is, 1t can attack an organism pre-
viously fmmune-only through the
carelessness that makes possible some
contact with the germs of the disease
Preclude that and you put an end to
consumption. We have done much
in this line. The regulations adopted
by the medical profession, the city or
dinances with reference to expectora-
ton and the greater care observed in
private households have made good
beginning. But a beginning is not
enough. We want to get rid Of the ter
rible disease altogether, because we
know that We can.
It's principal nurseries now are the
afflicted families whose members are
not familiar with modern sanitary
ideas, or are reckless and helpless
about applying them. If all such cases
were sought out, strictly isolated and
surrounded with proper sanitary pre-
cautions, consumption would die out
like a fire unsupplied with fuel. Given
such regulation of all cases Of the
disease, together with the curative
properties of Minnesota air under
modern methods Of treatment, and
within a single generation consump-
ton ought to become as unknown in
this state as one of those curious dis
eases Of the middle ages, whose names
only are preserved to us in the ltera-
ture Of the times. Let us have the
league against tuberculosis by all
means, and let it have the enthusias-
tic support not only of the medical
profession, but of the entire commu-
nifty.
