ORGANIZED LABOR'S VICTORY.

On December /, 1904, Illinois new
labor law went into effect. AS a result
$500 boys under sixteen years of age
were taken out of the coal mines and
most OF them started to school, OPP
ponents of organized labor, and par
ents who have never given much
thought to the work being done by
upon this fact. What does it mean
Ii means that $500 future citizens of
this republic were taken out of the
mines where their bodies and brains
were being dwarfed and stunted
brought into the open sunlight and
wholesome atmosphere, started to
School and given an opportunity to
become citizens with some idea of
the value of the franchise and the
duties OF citizenship. 1t means that
other hands must be employed in the
mines, and that means better wages
II means healthy boys instead OF
stoop-shouldered boys. 1t means i
better citizenship in the future.
Not by the Parryites, for they have
never offered a bill aboishing child
labor. On the contrary they seek to
secure child labor on account of its
cheapness and in utter disregard OF
human life. The mine owners did
not secure the enactment of the
ohild-labor law. They are anxious to
use child labor because it means
larger profits. Those $500 boys were
brought up out OF the mines by the
united efforts of the labor unions OF
Illinois, and against the active OPP
position of every Parryite in the land
Where labor unions are strongest
child labor is ut its lowest ebb Where
labor unions are weakest, child labor
is at its greatest. The labor unions
are weak in the cotton spinning sec
tons of the south, and as result the
southern cotton mills are filled with
LITTLE children scarce out of their

The ills of life are hard to bear,

In numbers not a few.
But most of them | bear with ease.

Cortelyou's Campaign Service
Blow to Civil Service.

sEx-President Cleveland declared to a
representative Off the press at his home
In Princeton, N. j., Saturday night, when
asked for his views about the letter OF
President Roosevelt ana the previous re-
marks of Judge Parker in regard to Chair
man cortclyou's connection with the
trusts, that he refused to enter into any
controversy which seemed to intervene.
between Judge Parker and President
Roosevelt in relation to Mr.. CortelSous
conduct as the chairman Of the Republl
can National Committee.
He said. however, that there was q point
in regard to Mr,.Cortclyou, bearing on the
civil service. WHICH had'not been called to
attention of the public by the press,
and that for this reason lie took the OPP
portunity to make the following state
.nent. which he wrote out In his own
hand:
1T see that Mr.. Roosevelt in his state
ment, published this morning in defense
of himself and Mr.. Cortelyou. speaks of
the latter as having been my executive
clerk In the White House lie might
have gone further and spoken of my high
opinion OF Mr.. Cortelyou. amounting to
personal attachment.
From this arises my condemnation OF
the action OF Mr.. Roosevelt in putting him
at the head of the Republican National
COMMITTEES: and this has nothing to do

Cortelyou has OF has not improperly or
otherwise extorted or obtained contrihii-
tlons from trusts and combinations for
campaign purposes. With this %conten-

Is OF q different sort.
'Mr. Cortelyou before his selection ns
the head Of a partisan National Commit
tee, with all 1t Implies, was pre-eminently
the best illustration the country afforded
OF the useful and beneficent operation
OF civil service reform. Without Influence
or powerful friends he earned a humble
place In the public service through civil
service examination. He rose step by stcp
through his W. merits 10 positions OF

lof an important and new department OF
the government and took n place among
members OF the Presidents Cabinet, |
believe there was not n right thinking
man IN the United States who did not
rejoice at his advancement so well earn
ed and i am sure every sincere civil Ger,

one he could appropriately occupy was
chairman Of the Republican National
Committee. and the last thing they could
have expected 10 do was to resign hls
