"Greysolon and his men revived this
savage in some fash on. and meantime
had much speech with him about this
unknown land at whose edge we have
new arrived. The old savage said that
he had been many moons north and
west of that place. He knew OF the
river called the Blue Earth. perhaps
the same of which Father HennepIn
has told. And also of the Divine river.

sasebe. He said that his father was
once OF a war party who went far TO
the north against the Ojibways. and
that his people took from the Ojibways
one Of their prisoners, who said that
he came from some strange country far
To the westward where there was n
very wide plain. of no trees. Beyond
that there were great mountains. taller
than any to be found in all this region
hereabout. Beyond these mountains
the prisoner did not know what there
might be. but these mountains his peo-
pie took to be the edge of the world
beyond which could live only wicked
spirits. This was what the prisoner
of the Ojibways said. He, too. was an
old man.
The captive of my brother Grey
scion was an Outagamie. and he said
mat the Outagamies burned this pris-
oher OF the Ojibways, for they knew
that he was surely lying TO them
Without doubt they did quite right to
burn him, for the notion OF a great
open country without trees or streams
is, of course. absurd to any one who
knows America. And as for noun

tains lie to the east OF us. not to the

THE PATHWAY OF THE WATERS
The news of the intended departure
was received with joy by the crew OF

the childs future. Every year the COM
petition in American industrial life be-
comes more strenuous. In the future
not alone the prizes of life, but the bare
comforts, will be won only by the In
telligent.
Two years ago the whole country was
touched by the beautiful object lesson
given by one of the Southern typo
graphical unions, which adopted a little
girl who had been forced into cotton
mill at an early age. A sum equal to
her wage was paid to her family and
provision was made for her support
and education. The records of the San
Francisco unions show more than one
instance of little fatherless wards of
the unions. BY such actions as these,
as we'll as by systematic efforts TO Sc
cure and enforce child labor laws and
to educate the rank and file up to the
high standards of their leaders, the un-
ions hope in the end to bring to every
American child his birthright of a hap
py, care-free childhood, in which to at
tain the mental, moral and physical de-
velopment that will enable him TO full
fill worthily the duties and responsibili-
ties of American citizenship.

ence in defense of their rights. The
lessons of American uninonism will
not be complete until the miners have
learned to unite for the protection Of
these little ones, whose lives have
been darkened by the shadows of the
coal heaps
Here in California the foreign ele-
ment of CUR population furnishes the
most fagrant cases of violation of the
child labor laws. With the exception
of the children in the Southern cot
ton mills this is also true of other
parts of the United States. The task
of educating these foreigners to the
standards of the American trade
unionists will be lightened in proper
ton to the extent to which the COM
mon schools are enabled to do their
work.
We know of a number OF instances in
San Francisco where children have
dropped out of school not from. any
economic necessity, but simply because
of childish enjoyment of the greater
excitement and variety of business life
and ola desire to earn spending money.
In such cases parents must learn to
feel a keener sense of responsibility for

could not be given the sanction of pub
lie approval, and have too frequently
permitted violence, menaces of violence
and boisterous conduct in connection
with their boycotts to ALLEVIATE public
sympathy and to arouse conscious
and imDIacable resentment and hostil-
ity in the public mind. recognition OF
this very important fact in connection
with the labor movement and struggle
is to be found in the writings OF many
of its leaders, one of whom in mas
terly article recently published on this
subject says:
1T behooves the labor movement OF
the United States TO be on guard lest
the loose and reckless application OF the
boycott shall lead to the eXpurgation Of
that institution as fact of history,
the rewriting of which may cost the
labor movement many day of toll and
sorrow.

not be successfully attacked upon any
ground, legal or moral. The continued

pend at all upon the &lrpose or
end sought to be accomplished by it.
Temperance people have perfect legal
right to unite in Withdrawing their
patronage from all persons engaged in
the sale of intoxicating liquors. and, if
they lofoose, they have an equal right
in concert to agree to withdraw their
patronage from all persons who patron
eize the sellers of Intoxicating liquors,
and they have a right to request all
members of the community to join
them in so boycotting the liquor sellers
and their patrons. The liquor sellers,
on the other hand, have the same legal
right to act in concert in withdrawing
their patronage from all temperance
people and from all who. patronize
The San Francisco call., 1904-11-13

those who favor abstinence from the
use of intoxicating liquors. The gam
blers have perfect legal right peace
fully and respectfully to agree among
themselves not to patronize those who
are opposed to the practice of that vice,
and to appeal to the community to
withdraw their patronage from such
persons. II the moral sense of the
community be opposed to the sale and
use of intoxicating liquors the
temperance boycott will be sus-
tained and liquor selling will
be limited to such places as are visited
and patronized by liquor drinkers only.
If the sentiment of the community be
against the enforcement Of abstinence
from liquor, in that way the boycott
will fall. SO in the other case: if public
sentiment favors gambling to the ex-
tent of condemning those who do not
believe in and support it, the gamblers
boycott would prove effective: other
wise it would fail. But in all these
cases the boycott in favor of bad pur-
pose is just as legal as the boycott in
favor of good purpose, and is to be
upheld or condemned only according
to the merit and expediency of its pur-
pose.

THE KANSAS CRAZE
It Doesn't Go to the Ex- tent of Endorsing Hearst
Almost as Bad Though, for There Is an Expression of Admiration for Bryan and His Principles.

Wichita, April 1.-The democratic convention has adjourned The follow ing list of delegates was chosen: At large, w. A. Harris. H. T. Barley, Da- vid Overmyer, J. G. Johnson, s. I. Hale and J. N. Haimaker; by districts, from the first to the seventh, inclusive, James w. Orr. Frank FitZwilliams, T. w. Morgan, w. P. billiard, A. M. Jack son, J. s. Kraybill, A. s. Kemper, J. M. McCown, W. H. Pepperill, T. L. Bond, s. c. Smith, A. A Roth, o. F. Scarce and c. w. Oswald.
 It is said the delegation is unin- structed, but that the personal prefer ences stand six for Hearst and four teen against him. The resolutions en- dorse the national platforms of 1896 and 1900 and express admiration for w. J. Bryan. A Hearst plank, which some of his followers claim as an endorse ment of his candidacy follows: Tn w. R. Hearst of New York, we recog- nize one of the foremost democrats of the nation. He uses his great opportun- tiles and power in all cases in behalf of the common people without counting the cost to himself. His singlehanded legal contest with the coal trust, just successfully concluded in the supreme court, is the most signal triumph of democratic principles since the trusts seized the business of the country. We endorse the great work he is doing in the interest of his party and his coun- try and commend his example to gco1 democrats everywhere"
