MI Murphy has been one OF the leaders in
the movement To protect the Southern white
children from the dangers incident to the indus
trial development of the region His account of
the struggle for laws to restrict child labor in
the mills is most Illuminating. The principal
opposition encountered from representatives,
of Northern capital. who LETT a record Of glaring
Inconsistencies and insncerites. AT one mo
ment they proclaimed that the labor was good
for the children, ut another that they were as
much opposed To- child labor as anybody and
found it Improbable and only employed it to
please the parents. Yet they wanted no law
which would enable them 10 decline such I'M
welcome service. In spite OF their opposition
the movement has been generally successful,
and now only Southern State-Georgia-is
without direct factory legislation Mr.. Murphy
also discusses the common school problem OF
the South and the need Of bringing adequate
education TO that part of the white community
which in the old days did not participate In the
management of affairs. and little TO
garded by and almost as antagOnisic to the
governing aristocracy as the blacks
With emancipation the interests OF these two
classes OF whites were in a measure merged
or recent years power has passed more and
more into their hands. to the exclusion OF the
representatives OF the old South with its
patriarchal traditions. The result has been I'M
fortunate for the negro. The old aristocrat had

important phase of the problem OF race adjust
ment IS that which is concerned with the
enlightenment OF this large white element which
is now the bulwark of prejudice and the ready
weapon at the hands of the demagogue
The author utterly repUdiates the sentiment

He declares that this is not the attitude of the
South. at least OF the leaders OF Southern

must have Justice. Mr.. Murphy is insistent
upon absolute social separation and the main
tenance of the purity OF both races. He is
equally insistent upon the education of the
negroes. upon their equality before the law and
upon their admission to their share in the con-

a certain dread. IL seemed just the kind Of
book TO start baeful literary movement" 1t
seems that our fears were only too we'll justi-
fed. In writing that volume Mr. j. j. Bell laid
the foundations we are told, of new school OF
Scotch humOr, called, since it deals with urban
types, the 'Keele" school, to distinguish it from
the "Kayaird" school, which is concerned with
rustic bOres. Fairly close upon the heels Of
Wee Macgreegor" comes "Erche" in which

forth the observations OF Erchie McPher-

through its most active weeks, and from now
on until the fall the new books will grow
steadily fewer in number. That is what every
experienced observer naturally expects. but this
year the publishers have even better reasons
than usual for slowing down their presses. The
air is full Of politics. and while this would
appear TO have no particular bearing upon the
reading procliyites of women, for example,
dwelling for the summer in the country, with
abundant leisure, it seems nevertheless TO be
fact that when political campaign is going on
fewer books are sold. The novel fourishes, OF
course but serious works of literature are much
more apt to be held over. In England the sea-
son is said TO have been one Of the worst ever
known in the boOkselling trade, partly because
of political conditions and partly because many
Britons are devoting all the money for books
that they can spare to the paying OF the monthly
instalments due for costly work of reference
Other reasons are also given. but turn to a
point of greater interest Divers promising
books which might have been brought out this
spring are scheduled for the fall, both here
and in England. For the dulness Of the present
situation the publishers will make up by print

CONTRACTS MUST BE WRITTEN.
Oral Agreements Will Not Be Recog-
nized by the Controller.

The War Department has issued cir
cular, promulgating decision made by the
controller of the treasury respecting a claim
of the Monterey Gas and Electric Com
pany for constructing a telephone line by
oral contract with Major E. H. Plummer,
the constructing quartermaster. II have
repeatedly directed the attention of diff
ferent officers of the War Department"
says the controller that section 3744, Re
vised Statutes, requires that all executory
contracts III that department must be in
writing and signed at the end thereof by
both contracting parties, and that the Su-
preme Court holds that contracts attempted
to be entered into ignoring these requisites
are utterly void as contracts. If the max
ing of such oral or informal contracts is
persisted in, in disregard of the law and
the decisions of the court, and of my ire
quent admonitions, it will necessarily result
in disallowances of credits in cases where
am unable to liquidate the proper amounts
to be paid, as l am not justified in taking
the amount thus informally agreed upon as
the amount to be paid. l am not in posi-
ton to settle and pass unliquidated claims
I trust this will prove a sufficient warning
for the future. The law, supre. must be
complied with, or officers VIOLATING must
take the risk of having a disallowance
made in their future credits"

FATAL ACCIDENT.
John Wallace Killed by Cars Near Ivy
City

A fatal accident occurred on the BaIti-
more and Ohio railroad near Ivy City this
morning about $40. in which the victim
was an elderly colored man named John
Wallace. Both legs Were almost severed
from the body and numerous cuts and
bruises were sustained. Wallace was about
seventy-five years old and lived at 913 18th
street northeast Last night he went to the
house of friends in the county beyond Ivy
CITY and remained all night, as one of the
watchers at a wake. He would have start
ed home shortly after daybreak had not
friends prevailed upon him to remain until
there had been a change in the weather
Then he buttoned his clothing about him
ana started in the direction of his home, at
9l3 18th street northeast.
In order to keep out the snow he started
along the railroad tracks, and had reached
point near the old race track when train
lat came along from Baltimore. There was
no one near the pedestrian to warn him of
the danger and it is apparent that he did
not hear the whistle blown. When the en-
CINE of the fast train struck him he was
thrown upon the tracks and instantly
killed.
a message was sent to the police from
near the scene Of the accident and the ninth
precinct patrol wagon was dispatched to
the scene. When 1t was learned that life
was extinct the dead wagon was sent for
and the body was removed to the morgue.
Coroner hewitt will investigate the case
this afternoon.

Preferred to Be Sent Down.

Fourteen days ago James Thornton, a
former soldier, drew $54 pension, and yes
terday he did not have a cent in his
pocket.
''Will you lock me up and send me
DOWN. he asked Policeman Hood.
"Why do you want to go DOWN." the Of
ficer inquired.
Because I'm broke and have no home -
was his response.
Thornton was taken to the sixth pre-
cinct station and locked up until this morn
ing. when he was conveyed to the Police
Court and arraigned as vagrant.
do you think the District ought to be
compelled to support you?" Judge Scott
asked the prisoner.
Judge" said the prisoner, liquor got
the best of me-.
Liquor will not hurt YOU" said the
court. ''if you will let it alone.
Judge Scott said he doubted the propriety
of sending people to the workhouse when
they request to be sent there, but in the
case before him he know of nothing else
he could do.
a fine of $50 was imposed and Thornton
was sent down for two months.

and for an hour there was pleasant inter-

line was formed, with the outgoing and in
coming officers at the head, and the march
was taken up to the large dining room to
the inspiring notes of patriotic music.
The decorations were tasteful and pro-

flags, and on all the tables were handsome
masses of flowers. After the reception of
the colors-old glory and the flag of the
alliance-the retiring president, George F.

Lincoln, and then speaking Of the great
work which fell to Theodore Roosevelt

down by the hand Of the assassin. He re-
three years and paid glowing tribute to
his patriotism, his sincerity, his broad grasp
of public questions and his high character
as a man and citizen, and concluded by
saying that the future historian would say
that the world had been better that Theo-
dore Roosevelt had lived. Gen. Burdett was
frequently interrupted by cheers and at the
conclusion of his address was loudly ap-
plauded while the band played America -
