LABOR PLANK Is SENSIBLE.
Pennsylvania Democrats Give Utter
nnce to Sentiments That Are
Wise and Patriotic.

Among the many admirable planks
in the platform of the Pennsylvania
democrats there is none that appeals
more strongly to conservatism and a
sense of justice than the one defining
the party's attitude on labor unions,
which follows:
Labor unions organized for the better
ment of the condition of wage earners, act
ing within the limits of law and not SUBJ
versive of public order or individual rights,
are not only lawful but commendable, and
should be met, recognized and dealt Wiz.
accordingly.
This accords not only with the ira
ditional friendliness of the democratic
party toward men who iabor-for the
strength of the party has ever been
and must be among those engaged in
honest toil-but it expresses the sentl-
ment which should prevail among all
classes of people in dealing with the
so-called labor problem. 1t recognizes
the right of workingmen to organize as
an inalienable individual right, and
one which they should be encouraged
to exercise for the betterment of their
condition. That right is Endorsed both
in it's legal and moral aspects. The
only demand it makes upon working
men is that the right shall be exercised
within the limits of the law, the main
tenance of public order and equal con-
s"ideration for the individual rights OF
others.
The Pennsylvania declaration. says
the New York Post, deals with the la
Dor question frankly. honestly and in
diligently. and without demagogy. II
could not have contained less and il
would have been a waste of words to
have said more. 1t should be incor-
porated in the st. Louis platform.

Oyster Commission Seeks Relief.

The oyster commission at a regu-
meeting at Pass Christian last
week, appointed a committee to go
to Jackson and seek to effect some
relief from the conditions prevail
ing because of the failure OF the re-
cent legislature to make an appro-
priation for the commissions ex-
penses. The commission is without
funds to operate, and the blunder
of the legislature may cause serious
results. Warrants presented to the
State treasurer have not been hon
ored, it being stated that there are
no funds in the treasury Tor the
purpose.

Bond Bids Called For.

The expected happened last week,
when Gov. Vardaman issued notice
that on Saturday, July 9, the gov
ernor, treasurer and auditor of the
State Of Mississippi will receive bids
for the issuance of 100000 of nom
taxable thirty-year bonds of the
State, redeemable by the State after
the expiration of ten years, the
bonds to bear interest at the rate OF
80 per cent per annum, payable
semi-annually at the treasurer's OF
flee at Jackson. All bids must be
accompanied by a certified check OF
one-tenth of the value of the bonds
bid for. No bid to be considered
if less than par value of bonds bid
for, and the committee reserves the
right to reject any and all bids
These bonds to be issued were au-
thorized by the last legislature, and
they will come in at a very oppoT-
tune time, for the money IN the
treasury is now very low, and after
the June distribution of the school
fund the balance will be very small

Favorable for Farm Work.

The Weekly crop bulletin, issued
May 3, says:
While conditions have continued
very favorable for farm work, which
is generally well advanced, the In
seasonably cold weather has not only
retarded termination and growth,
but in some localities has materially
injured stands of cotton and corn.
Planting is generally about COM
pleted and in nearly all sections
there has been more or less replant-
ing. Cotton is much in need Of
warmer weather and in the Delta
and northern counties it needs a
good rain. Early cotton is being
chopped over the southern portion
of the State. Corn has been dam
aged by cut worms in a few cOun-
ties, but on the whole it looks fair
ly well, although growing very
slowly; it is in a good state of cult
walton and with favorable weather
will grow rapidly. Early oats are
heading out south and promise a
fine yield, while over the northern
counties they are in fair condition.
Cane is generally up to good stands
and sorghum is bing planted.
Sweet potatoes are being set out
Pastures are good. As a rule tree
fruits are quite promising, espe-
cially peaches.

sented themselves at the gate they were
told they must pay to be admitted They
refused to do So and as the gateman was

PLACE OF DETENTION
FOR ARRESTED BOYS

To the Editor Of The Republic.
st. Louis. Dec. 12.-In this mornings Is
sue Of your paper is an account of the
escape of two boys from the detentIua-
room on the third floor OF the Ftur
Courts.
Before the enactment of our Juvenile
Court law boys under is years OF age
were confined in the holdover ant. fail
with adult offenders, and this was one Of
the greatest evils that law was designed
to remedy. The Chief of Police, the Chief
Of Detectives. the jailer and other officials
all have testimony to the Ill effects Of this
practice.
The Juvenile Court law provided (section
10) that delinquents under Is years of age
must be kept 'in a suitable place. which
shall be provided by the county. outside of
the inclosure Of anv jail or police sta
tion.' notwithstanding, for over year
after the passage OF that law. children
were kept over night In the hodover, or
If arrested Saturday afternoon, spent Sun
day there. Although the House of Ref
uge constitutes tho regular place of de-
tention, its distance from the downtown
district and the fact that young offenders
are taken out there but once a day, and
another secondary place of detention. One
case came accidentally under the notice
of the writer in June of this year, where
Ave boys between the ages OF II and IA
were arrested on suspicion and kept in
the holdover over Sunday.
To remove young boys from the degrad-
ing associations of the holdoyer. a room
in the matron's quarters was fitted up
this summer on the third floor Of the
-Four Courts. Inadequate as Is this one
small room, it is better than the hold
over. Yet the fact remains that We need
a downtown house of detention in place
Of the House Of Refuge, designed for
other purposes. and the secondary place
OF detention necessitated by its distance.
We hope to have such proper provision
made for our young offenders when funds
are provided for new jail and other city
institutions. CHARLOTTE G. ELIOT.
