Rev. O. r. Lovejoy assistant secretary OF the
National Child Labor Committee; Homer FOLKS

that the glassware used in kitchens and olnlhe
rooms involves not only child labor, put chllu
labor at night which is of its most oo1ectoI-

Comments of This Mornings Papers
ON the Peace Treaty.

Paris. Sept. 6.-The newspapers this morn
ing hail the signing of the treaty of peace with
profound satisfaction. laying stress on the con-
else form of the historical document with clear
allusion to the future friendship of the two ma

The journal says the document proves thdt
the Emperor of Russia and the Emperor of
Japan were inspired by President Roosevelts in
teIligence and tenacity. However, it adds the
belligerents displayed superior common sense in
subordinatfng their national pride to the inter
ests of their respective countries.
The "Humante' invites France to seek
Japan's friendship.
The Figaro recalls that the treaty was
signed almost the anniversary of the assas-
sination of President Mckinley. President
Roosevelt it says was then regarded as man
of strong will, and events have proved it"

in the morning they paint their numerals on

day the sophomores paint out the letters or ths
freshmen and put their own in place of them
In the course of the year parts OF the fence
receive dozen coats of paint and the result IS
far from harmonious. Every student who does
any painting uses different colored paint ana
by the end of the year the fence presents a lurid
mixture Of red. green. blue, yellow. white, black
orange and violet
1t is the discord in these colors that has lea

Long ago all paint was barred from the rest Oh

RUSSIAN ARMY EAGER FOR NEWS.
Bureaucratic Management Criticised-Fer-
ment in Japan Reported.

Hua-Shu Pass. Sept 4-The situation, espe-
cialIy as it affects the newspaper correspondents
admits of saying little. The army organ pub
fishes a statement to the effect that there is tn
multi in Japan and though the news is vague, it
is the impression here that there complca-
lions abroad hostile to peace. The army's an
tagonfsm to recent happenings takes the form of
criticism of the management Of the war and
also of bureaucratic medding.
The Chinese have exhibited wide appreciation
of the Importance of the peace negotiations. but
the prospects under such conditions have
been made public here promise small ameliora-
ton of their burdens and regarded with
foreboding.
For days the passing trains have been be-
sieged for newspapers by soldiers. Otherwise
this vicinity is unusually quiet.
