here. That case merely discrimnates be-

 To counteract this evil drastic legis laticn is contemplated in some states. Henry J. Gottlob. secretary of the State Federation of Labor of New Jersey. says that he would personally favor T limit of eighteen years and declared that more children are driven into fac tories by the cupidity and greed cf pa rents than by actual need. ! recent dispatch states that it is probable that the age limit will be fixed at sixteen i, New Jersey under any circumstances.
 Such legislation as this, howeva. may be nearly as harmful as the abuse of child labor of too tender years ie mischievous because it is an actual necessity to some families that children shall go to work as early as practic- able. Many boys are prepared to leave school at the age of fourteen, unles: they have to prepare for T professional career. Therefore it beiiooves those who have in charge the carrying through of any legislation to avoid go- ing to any extremes.

For Control of the Southern Pacific.

The possibility that MT. E. H. Farri-
 man and the Union Pacific interests may lose control of the Southern Paci- fic at the forthcoming annual meeting
 of the stockholders of the latter road.
 has caused a sensation in the railroad world. The veteran speculator, James k. Keene, is at the head of the move mcnt to wrest control from MT. Harri- man. A circular sent out Wednesday of this week by MT. Keene's firm, re- quested proxies of stockholders, to be voted at the annual meeting on April S. The dispatches recite that the ci.','ii- lar claims that over s60,0O0,0 900 has becr expended for reconstruction, better ments and improvements on the South ern Pacific, but that the operating ex- penses continue to be from 10 to 20 per cent. higher than on any other roa1 competing for transcontinental busi- ness, which the circular declares in dicates either gross mismanag cement ol Yilful intention to deceive the stock

Even this bare statement of the facts reads like romance, but it shows the possibilities this country still affords for men of courage. Price didn't give up in despair when he lost his fortune. It may be said that he would have given up if the girl had not remained loyal. That would have been the crowning blow; but We do not believe Prices courage was of that evGnescent quality.
 A man of his nerve would have gone ahead with a grim determination to show the girl that he could succeed in spite of everything. Of course, she has helped him to succeed. and together they will share the benefits of his sue cess. which is far pleasanter ali around.
 The lesson in the story is found in Prices unWavering courage. His nerve was good in fair weather. and in foul.

holders as to the true net earnings of the company, and by this means de- press the market value of the stock" It is also claimed that vast sums are be- ing expended on the Central Pacific out of Southern Pacific funds, to the detri- ment of the Southern Pacific main line, and that ''the stockholders will discov- CT, when too late, that a most formid- able rival has been built up with their own money
 The sour milk in MT. Keene's COCOA nut seems to be because of the fact that he and his friends formed a "bull pool'' in Southern Pacific a year or so ago, and that the mrket for the stocl. has not advanced as they hoped. The pool holds 3OO.0OO shares, it is said. and controls some 5OO,000 shares by prox- ies and so forth. The Union Pacific holdings of Southern Pacific stock az gregate s9O,O0O, GOO.
 MT. Keene is not a railroad operator neither is he a banker He is a stock gambler, and should he secure control of the Southern Pacific it would be tor the purpose of transferring it to some body else for a satisfactory profit, just as John Gates and his crowd of specu- and Nashville last year, wrestling that road from the hands of Belmont and transferring it to J. Pierpont Morgan. It is hardly probable that the Harri- man interests can be defeated-it is fal more probable, in fact, that MT. Keene is merely playing for a position that will enable him to unload the pool hold ings upon MT. Hartman at figures profitable to the pool. If, however, he should acquire control, the result would undoubtedly be a fierce struggle be- tween the Hartman interests and the Morgan-Hill interests for possess ion of the pool stock. MT. Keere's close utilization with MT. Nor gan warrant the supposition that should he follow his inclinations he would transfer the Southern Pacific to Morgan and Hill, thus plac- ing in the hands of that powerful com bination another transcontinental line. And it is very unlikely that MT. Morgan and Mir. Hill have forgotten or forgiven the trouble handed out to them by Mir Hartman and Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, On account of the struggle for control of the Northern Pacific.

The Slavery of Children.

Although the sweat-shop evil is un- childhood slavery are confined to the east and the south, the whole country is interested in the agitation against the abuses of child labor. for the whole hands. The general agitation for re- form has served an excellent purpose fer the evils of compulsory labor by cE1il- dren of tender years cannot be over estimated.
 Much stress has been laid upon the condition of things in Georgia and South Carolina, in this respect, and owing to the recent large manufa ctur- ing development in these states doubt less matters there have reached more than usually bad condition, but in many other states children of too ten- der an age are compelled to work at difficult tasks. In this respect few states are exempt from criticism. It was recently alleged by an author, ity that Child labor in Illinois is in : | creasing more rapidly than in any other state in the union. More children, un l der the age limit fixed by law, are at work in sweat shops, stores and fac | tories in Chicago than in New York D This is doubtless true of all states in which manufacturing of the lighter pro- ducts, such as hosiery and articles of small ware are made. The hosiery | used in the United States is mainly the product of child labor. But even in such states as Texas, which certainly would not be ranked as ulanufactur- ing state, children of seven and eight years of age when born of poor parents usually expect to work, at least out Of school hours.
 l The revelations made concerning the use of child labor in the Pennsylvania anthracite coal mines show that despite the laws of the state eight and nine years is normal age at which employ ment begins on the breakers. This is worked by the simple method of the

CURRENT COMMENT
 The Fall and Rise Of Mr. Price.

Another turn of the great wheel cffor- tune has brought Theodore H. Price to the top. Again he is the Cotton King. Once more ais fortune runs up into the millions. Less than ten years ago this sane Price was worse than penHiless. He had staked his fortune and more on the cotton market and lost. He saw the wealth he had accumulated swept away and he emerged from the wreck age to face a debt that aggregated up wards of two millions.
 This was three days before the date that had been set for his marriage to the girl he loved. Price went to her and told her what had happened. "I release you from your engagement" said he; T will not ask you to marry a man vino is hopeless bankrupt" But the girl loved him for himself. not his money, which is not so strange as the cynics would have Us believe.

ARCHIE RoooGvgLT,s PONY.
How . Pony Rode In an Elevator At
the White House.


Archie Roosevelt, while recovering
from an attack Of measles. had Wis
itor the other day, whose call will do
more to restore him to health than all
the medicine the doctor can give him,
says a Washington dispatch. Soon
after Archie began to convalesce he
begged to be allowed to see his spot
ted pony. Algonquin. which is his con-
slant companion when he is we'll. It
was too soon for Archie to leave his
room and Mrs. Roosevelt was COM
PEELED to decline the request.
Charles, the groom, who looks after
Algonquin and who also is great
chum of Archie, thought the matter
over and concluded that II Mr.. Archie
wanted to see his pony he should do
so.
Without confiding his plan to any
one he led the pony the other day into
the White House and along the corri-
Sdor, into the elevator. The elevator
pen were too much surprised to say a
word until after the elevator had dis
appeared. When the second floor was
reached Charles led the pony into
Arches room and ushered it in.
To say that Archie was delighted ex-
presses it mildly and the pony also
seemed to enjoy his visit

Or. Parkhurst Takes History Of the
World to Prove 1t.
Rev. DIR. Charles H. Parkhurst, the
sensational preacher reformer of New
York, has been taking District Attor-
ney Jerome to task. In a recent
speech Mr.. Jerome said: You are CO.
ing to win if you are the stronger and
to lose If you are the weaker Don't
accept any wishy-washy stuff about the
brotherhood of man, or economic
forces, or inherent rights. If you are
stronger you win; if you are not you
lose. 1t is the universal law" Com
menting on this and like uuterances of
the battle ak reformer DR.. Parkhurst
said: The history of Christianity dis
proves Napoleon's dictum that Provi-
dence is on the side of the heaviest
battalions. People who put their
trust in armies and navies would not
have given Christianity ten years to
die out, yet the power of the whole
Roman empire couldn't keep the grave
of Jesus closed, and, within 300 years
a Christian sat on the throne of the
Caesars"
