All of what follows is vouched for by a
veracious chronicler who swears he saw

goods were loaded, went back in the
store ~to settle up. rendering a check
issued TO him By his good friend, the
United States government. The pro-
prietor of the store was unable to cash
the check, and the Indian took it back,
saying he would get the change and re-

that she had been robbed by the cursed

CHILD LABOR.

4 y EASTERN MANUFACTURER.
II who appeared before the house
committee on labor and education a
short time ago to oppose the national
eight-hour law brought up the sub
iect Of child labor. For Gods sake,
he said. don't keep the boy from
working. He isn't going TO hurt him,
self" This manufactures took the
ground that it is beneficial. rather than
harmful, for a child to labor ten or
twelve hours six days a week in fac
tory. There are those who Will differ
from him.
Many of the states have laws which
prohibit the employment of children
under il years of age. The Utah stat
ute provides that no child under that
age shall be employed in any mine or
smelter This statute is not particu-
larry valuable, for there is nothing
about a mine or smelter that a child
under II years of age could do. A
child labor law, 10 be effective, should
prohibit the employment of young chill
dren in factories and sweatshOps and
other places where they are commonly
used.
And yet the problem is a hard one to
solve Very few parents who are not
driven TO it by necessity permit their
little children to work anywhere. 1t
hardly seems fair to "A widow, for in
stance, to be deprived of the help Civ
en- her by the few weekly dollars her
children can earn. Fathers are some
times crippled or invalided and it is

ton, Of all childish delights, but the
way of life is made rough for a great

The problem might be taken care OF

/ ployers of children TO furnish then

! and making compulsory attendance OF
night schools to be established by the

! some measure on the earnings of tn
child would not be injured.

pointees that Dietrich wanted him to
pay $500 for the appointment. The
same apDointee told the witness that
Dietrich had asked another man to pay
ss.s0O at the rate Of 500 year for four
wears. This is getting rather close to
the senator and it is quite probable that
worse is yet TO come.
The inquiry may reach a point where
the investigating committee viii find
that it cannot afford to stultify itself
by returning report favorable to Diet

the Nebraska man who could not let

II one has lived il Syria, it is not the twentyfou slender minar'

OUR ADOPTED ISLANDS.

, The teachers of Porto Rico, who
spent some weeks in this country last
summer studying at Cornell Universe
ty, are now experiencing the benefits
Of their training. 4
The troops pursuing the convicts
who, after killing three of their guards,
seized q launch at Malahi Island, La
guna de Bay, and escaped across the
lake to the hills, have killed three Of
them and captured fourteen, including
the leader Of the gang, who was
wounded in three places. The constab-
ulary have located nineteen others.
On account of lack of funds, due to SC
decrease in the appropriation for edu-
cation, about 200 teachers will be
dropped from the teaching staff in the
Philippine Islands. 'h' II
Hawaiians are much exercised over
wht to do with Porto Ricans who
were imported several years ago to
work on sugar plantations. The e1per-
iment has resulted in complete failure.
The Porto Rican colony has developed
criminals of the worst type. For some
time these people simply murdered one
another, but the wanton murder of the
banker, Damon, stirred up public feel
ing against the race, and now Porto
Ricans are Stunned, and no one Will
give them work. H., .-..,.n
