Child Labor.

Students of the child labor problem
will find food for thought in The bull
letin just issued by the Department
of Commerce and Labor. Especially
will they be moved to ponder the dis
crepancy between the words and the
deeds of certain sections of the coun-
try.
The State of Massachusetts has en-
acted stringent laws against child
labor. 1t maintains officials to see
that these laws are enforced. 1t is
quite prone to pat itself on the back
and comment on its righteousness, to
the disparagement of the same quality
elsewhere. Particularly has the State
of Massachusetts. or at least many
citizens of the State, been active in be-
wailing the evils of child labor in the
Southern and Middle Atlantic States.
Apparently, however, while Massa-
! chusetts has been thus philanthropi-
| cally engaged in hunting for its
! neighbors' beams, it has forgotten en-
tirely its own choice collection of
notes. It will probably cause consid-
| cradle commotion in Massachusetts
to learn that the Department of Com
/ merce and Labor places it as one of
the three States where more than a
thousand children under sixteen
years of age are employed in the
mills. Massachusetts, is credited with
.0S7 such. Pennsylvania has 1,160
and Georgia 1913.
It is but fair TO Massachusetts, tc
add that her percentage is lower than
that South and her hours are shorter
On the other hand. statistics of this
sort are VIGOROUSLY incomplete, and
rather more likely TO be incomplete
in Massachusetts,, where the laws are
strict. than in Georgia, where they
are lax. Consequently, If Massachu
sets has working a thousand chill
dren under sixteen years who arr
known, she is quite likely to have a
least as many more who are no
known.
Another point in Massachusetts
favor is that her children under six
, teen have been at work a much short
or time than the children of the State
toward the South. Also the healtl
: of the Massachusetts children i
given as satisfactory. In Pennsyl
vania one-fourth of the children hav
, worked from two 10 five years. Man,
> Of these are boys employed on tn
breakers, and the majority of whor
o are understood. In the far South
TO rs per cent have worked for tw
/, years. The health report for tn
/, Carolinas shows 40 per cent in goo
i, health and % per cent in fair health
, The real pathos of these figure
, must be deduced, for the report itsel
properly touches this phase not at al
Yet the pathos Of child labor is real

labor, an argument which over

dwarfing routine of mill, factory, an

And you look UP to the skies
And wonder If it's rainin.'

But just the same the whistlin
GIFTS IN close 90 your heart.
Somewhere the whistler's whlstln'
In the racket and the roar
You can only catch a little,
But you want to hear some more;
And you find 1t as IT wanders
From the busy, noisy street.
Like an old f-iend from the country
That yours mighty glad TO meet.

And your heels they git TO knockin'
And your lonesome feelin' goes

CoTtelUou's Successor.

The prospect that Victor H. Met
calf, OF California, viii succeed Sec
rotary Cortelyou in the Department
OF Commerce and Labor is likely to
be satisfactory to most, if not all, of
those concerned in the change. Mr..
Metcalf's name will be new TO the
public, for the reason that he is not
a spectacular statesman; but states
men of that type are not wanted in
that particular department, and the
Californian is known as a worker.
He has for some time been one of the
leaders Of the House, and is looked
upon as the most influential man
from California, next to Senator Per-
kins.
This appointment would give the
Pacific Coast a share in the Cabinet
deliberations, and it is especially ap-
propriate that a Californian should
have hand in the shaping of the
new department. The strong men of
the Far West have claimed. not with
out reason, that the needs of that
part of the country were not under
stood nor appreciated in the East, and,
il fact, TO the majority of the people
east of the Mississippi California,
Oregon, and their sister States seem
almost as remote as a foreign coun-
try.
1t is time to recognize the fact that
the Pacific Coast is developing a civ
ilization of it's own, with problems of
its own, and that these problems are
OF Importance to the rest of the coun-
try, as well as to the section most
nearly concerned. The close associa-
ton of Mr Metcalf with men who are
giving their attention TO the settle
ment of questions Of industry and
trade is likely to be a good thing all
around.
Nothing is more certain than that
a better understanding between the
leading men of the North and South
would have prevented the great war
Nothing is more certain than that II
is dangerous for any part of coun-
try so large as ours TO become iso-
lated through peculiar conditions SC
that it's life is not well understood in
other parts of the country.
California and her neighbors ar,
separated from Eastern States by tn,
natural barrier of the Rocky Noun
tains, and by a belt of States witt
comparatively sparse population. Tn,
Far West has 10 contend with the ir
rigation problem, the Chinese ques
ton, which affects it as the East cal
never be affected, and with Difficult
ties arising from the very richness o
the country and the unusual oppor
tunities for trade with the Orient
These problems will be more likel,
to receive adequate attention with
Californian in the Cabinet.

opposed to the prisciples which Hearst
represents. Hopkins is, nevertheless, as
a delegate-at-large bound to vote and
work for the nomination OF Hearst.
Hopkins Had to Do 1t.
The situation came about as a results
OF Hopkins efforts 70 depose Mayor
Harrison from leadership and assume the
place himself. Harrison early ia the
campaign joined hands with Repre-
sentative Williams OF Illinois TO get
control CT the State convention and the
State organization for the purpose OF In
structing Tor Williams as .fav0rite
son. and making Harrison the ma
tional committeeman for the State.
This combination forced Hopkins re-
luctantly to join hands with Hearst. not
because he wanted the delegation COM
mitted 70 Hearst. but because he wanted
to defeat Mayor Harrison. and because
he could rot do il alone For the prom
Use of Instructions for Hearst the sup
porters OF the latter readily combined
with Hopkins despite the fact that these
two men represent widely differing ideas

A Blessing of the Season.

There are many reasons for thank
fulness which may be presented to
Washingtonians, even in the summer
months. but one in particular. sug-
gested by the foreign society news, is
perhaps the greatest of all. We
should be thankful that the founders
OF this Republic were not afflicted
with Angiomania. and did not in imi-
tation of English society, make early
summer the fashionable social sea

statistics judiciously chosen, except
faith in their ability to stick the man

comes to making a choice between
statistics and a private bank account

the cost of living, folks are liable to
take the bank account.

BY the action Of the Illinois Demo-
cratic convention yesterday, hfty-four
votes in the national convention were
added to the Strength OF William r.

This places his total OF instructed dele
gates close up TO the number accredited
to Judge Parker. who Is now only
length in front Of the New York editor
in the matter OF actually instructed
delegates.
Various estimates are made, based upon
the indicated preferences Of uninstruct-
ed delegates. Figuring instructions
alone, the action Of the Illinois conven-
ton makes the list stand:
Instructed for Parker. us.
Instructed for Hearst. 146;
Instructed for Olney. 81.
Instructed for Wall, &c.
Instructed for Gray. 6.

structions.

/ The Hearst managers, however. figure
