REGARDING CHILD LABOR.

"Child labor is the product Of COM !
mercialism, as commercialism is thet
product Of civilization" said Edgar T.,
Davis, chief factory inspector Of IL,
linois, in an address before the Ma
tional Conference .,of Charities andss
Corrections &C Portland. Ore. :
- sessssz S.
beensthe basic cause of the chlld's ufl--;
doing. Social conditions Ia this coun-
try Of ours have produced greateIs
poverty for the poor"
The speaker pointed out the selfish
ness of employers who found child la
Dor could be made to produce resultsj
cheaply, and added, "And the childi
becomes a pale-faced fragment OIL
human mechanism. The competitIoni
of children and women and rnachines4
has reduced the wages of men, Child
labor becomes not alone a menace toll
the wage schedule, but it imperils the1
very future of the republic itself. til
threatens the public schools, the bull
Wark Of the nation. Employment3
should be prohibitive for any girl un-
der the age Of sixteen in any vocationi
where she is compelled to remain1
standing. The employment Of minorsa
at night should be absolutely prohibits
ed.'
The above might have well been di.j
rected at the Parry Manufacturing
Company of Indianapolis. Hundreds4
Of children are employed in that fac-1
tory. The daily papers Of the city sfre-a
Quently carry standing ads from thistA
company for boys" and these boys1
are said to be paid an average. wage1
of about 81 per week.
In this connection it should also. be 1
remembered that Mr.. Parry and his1
satellites, speaking for the National4
Association of Manufacturers, ttheX
Citizens Industrial Alliance, and the
business interests" strenuously op-
posed any amendment Of the child la
Dor laws of the state Of Indiana at !!
the last legislative session. And they ;
succeeded In defeating q measure CAL
culated to make existing laws on that
subject more stringent and, to pro-
vide additional safeguards. What do.S
they care for the childen!
Labor unions will continue their1
struggle against the evil. Of child Ia

in the future-the right-thfnkings,
people Of the land will join In the:
fight and crush this monster that is I
devouring the children.

On the 1etterheads used by the

the following significant line: I'VE

Vicious legislation in this case can
only be interpreted to mean legisla-
ton that is not In accord with the
views Of the association. How this
protection is furnished Is not made
plain. It has come to a pretty pass
when an association Of a few man.

to say, can influence legislation at

WAVE Of TEMPERANCE
Inception of Movement Said to be-

"Soft" Drinks.
Trade Union Leaders See Value Of
Teetotaism, and Have Great s
Influence.

London, Aug. 1O.-A remarkable wave
of temperance is spreading over Eng.
land. Its inception is said to be due to,
the fashion set by visiting Americans,
of drinking iced soft" drinks.
John T. Rae, secretary of the Ma!
tional Temperance League, speaking OF
the decrease In the consumption Of
alcoholic beverages, quoted the ex-l
ample Of Americans as one of the chief
reasons and Also says the striking CON-
demnatfon Of the use of alcohol by
some of the most influential medicaN
authorities has been of great effect. !;
There is no doubt" said Mr.. Rae.
that the total abstinence Of the ma.
jority of the labor leaders is almostl
beginning to tell on the laboring clas-,
ses and members of trade unions, many
of whom are now beginning to realized
that teetotalism Is an important step-
ping stone to their future progress" !
The manager of one of the largest
firms of wine merchants said: The
decrease in wine and spirit drinking ;a3
due to the present tightness of money!

consequence of this the public Is only

Mr.. Brewer farm. Melons are
put on the market here by the
middle of May and there is no rea-
son why they shouldn't be ready
for shipment in car lots by that
time.
A HERALD man has conversed
with several of the truck and onion
growers of this section the past few
days and the consensus of opinion
appears to be that the experience
gained in their crop operations will
be of inestimable value another
season, although the experience
was q little high priced. Many diff
fculties which were encountered
the past year will be more easily
met and overcome, and there IS
every reason to believe the Browns
vile country will in deed and in
truth blossom as the rose the COM
ing year. The matter of drainage
is receiving more careful attention
than heretofore and the result can
not but be more satisfactory.

Grand Saline Sun.
There are people who complain
loudly about hard times, with whom
it makes no difference whether it
rains all the year or a drouth pre-
walls. Their income is certain and
no disaster can change it, yet they
are the first to complain of hard
times and grumble at unfavorable
conditions. Their grumbling dis
courages other people, who possibly
would not notice anything of the
kind unless their attention was
called to it by the complaints of
others. They are veritable prophets
of evil.

Chicago, Dec. PA free-for-all fight
III which five men were seriously in
Jured, occurred at a meeting of the
Transfers joint Joint Council last
night. Without hats or overcoatS the
men fled from the meeting with blood
streaming from their faces.
The fight had its origin in the cleo
ton of officers in local union, No. 725,
known as the Baggage and Parcel De-
livery Drivers Union. The president of
the local, Harry Lapp. and the bust
ness agent, Joseph w. Young, are both
under indictment in connection with the

caused a protest by 900 members and
this was carried to the council last
night.
When Albert Linsdon, chairman of
a protesting delegation of five, arose
to read the protest he was knocked
down by a rival delegate. In a minute
a general fight was raging, everyone of
