CHILD LABOR LAW

The so-called child labor law, which will become
effective this April 81 is similar to laws that
have been enacted in several of the eastern states
The for such reasonable restrictions it imposes
is not disputed by employers who directly
concerned in Of its provisions. There certain
notifications in the California which make it
acceptable than the laws of other states while
at the same time accomplishing the general purpose.
One of the chief objections heretofore in attempts
to enact child labor law in this state the need of
income from the labor of young children for the
port INDECENT parents The age of fourteen years
is the general line that must be passed before child
is permitted to work for wages In certain cases. how
ever the limit is dropped to twelve years which often
may be an important consideration. parents who
unable to work have child between the ages of
twelve and fourteen the child is allowed to take
poyment by first obtaining permit issued by justice
on proper showing of the facts. Another modification
allows children Of such age to be employed during
school vacation permit issued by the school prn-
cipal.
With the exceptional provisions noted, the California
child labor act appears to be commendable in every
respect Children fourteen years of age should
be employed except in such the law pro-
vides for. In enacting the measure in question the
legislature reflected the general sentiment of the peo
pie of this state The thing needul is to insure
its rigorous enforcement from the day it takes effect

YELLOW NEWSPAPERS
AND MAYOR DUNNE
Chicago's New Executive Warned
Against Hearst's Ragamuf-
fin Crew

From the Chicago Journal
The Journal, having urged it's read
ers to vote for Judge Dunno, is highly
The vote shows that the people of
Chicago viewed the situation as the
Journal viewed 1t, and their assembled
Judgment has Endorsed and justified
our own.
For this reason the Journal feels a
certain responsibility to the public and
is deeply interested to see that Mayor
Dunnes administration shall not only
not disappoint his friends and sup
porters, who have given him this mag
nificent proof of trust, but that it shall
also meet and surpass the highest ex-
pectations they entertain in regard
to it.
Therefore, while the Journal has the
friendliest feeling toward the new
mayor and possesses every confidence
that his administration will be bril-
liantly successful, yet we think it pru-
dent to warn him of the imminent and
perilous stumbling block that lies in
his path.
As soon as he takes office he will
find that, the yellow newspapers which
have been screaming over the battle
field will attempt to make him be-
lieve that they elected him.
AS a matter of fact, Judge Dunno
was elected in spite of those yellow
newspapers. Their frenzied screech
scared off many a timid soul who
would otherwise have voted for Judge
Dunno, but feared to do so because
newspapers and their characterization

charlatans, Coxeyites, hoboes, lunatics
and mountebanks.
But for the handicap Of this support,
which made numbers of voters who be-
lieved in municipal ownership afraid
that In voting for Judge Dunno they
would be voting for political delirium
tremens and a municipal madhouse,
Judge Dunne's victory would have
been much more decisive than ii was,
The yellow newspapers, however,
with their characteristic effroptery,
will try TO make Judge Dunno think
he is under obligations to them. and
with their usual impertinenee will at
tempt to seize the reins Of power from
his hands and, RELOCATING him to a
back seat behind a crazy driver, to
run the municipal government TO suit
themselves.
II Judge Dunno permits this, then
before the frst Of May he will realize
that the sorrlest day Of his life was the
day on which he was elected mayor OF
Chicago.
And II he permits II the Journal will
undertake TO drive him from offiee into

NO CAR LINE FOR
SEVENTH STREET
HUNTINGTON COMPANY MAKES
GOOD ITS THREAT
Attorney Dunn Says That Short Term
Franchises Are Not Desired
by the Big Railroad
Corporation

That the rumblings and threatenings
that have been emanatlng from the
Huntington law department of late
were not rumors but were based on
cold facts was shown at yesterdays
session of the council, at which time
bids for the railway franchise out East
Seventh street were to be opened. The
time came, but the bids did not. That
the council was surprised expresses the
real situation mildly.
Attorney "Billy" Dunn has several
times stated that Huntington would not
geles under the new charter amend
ment, which limits the length of such
franchises to twenty-one years. This
threat was made to the old council and
also to the new, and 1t is apparent that
the street car people intend to stand by
their statements.
The only statement which could be
secured from the Huntington law de-
partment was to the effect that Hunt
ington did not at the present time con-
slider conditions favorable for the con-
struction of new lines in Los Angeles.
The statement is made in support OF
this attitude that If lines should be
built at the present time under the new
charter provision the franchises for
such lines would expire number of
years before those of the trunk or main
lines now in operation. This being the
case the street car companies believe
that the amendment is a measure the
working of which will tend to cause
great confusion among the corporations
desiring to run streec cars in Los An
geles and the city.
The proposed line out East Seventh
street tapped a thickly populated dis
trict now without street car facilities,
and it is understood the people of this
district are disappointed in the outcome
Of the franchise advertisement
Councilmen express themselves as be-
ing of the opinion that the action of the
street car corporations ON this question
was in a sense an answer to the avowed

for universal transfers, prohibition of
the carrying of freight, but principally
on his attitude on the short franchise
law.
The residents in the district in ques-
ton have long wanted to get street car
facilities and before the new 21-year
law took effect they were promised a
line by Huntington, provided the tmend-
ment was not passed. 1t was not de-
feated. however, and the project has
been abandoned by the Huntington

private life, and, having driven him
out, will further undertake to keep him
out.
The Journal does not believe that
Judge Dunno will permit that raga-
muffin crew of political paretics to dis
turb the equilibrium of his Judgment,
much less to transform him into a
figurehead in the mayors chair.
He accepted the support of yellow
newspapers because he could not help
1t. Indeed, on one occasion he ex-
pressly disavowed all responsibility for
them and their actions.
But these political vermin are per-
sistent and busy and Judge Dunno
should be on his guard against them,
else before he knows it he will find
them so actively infesting his private
Office that he will never be able to
sweep them out.

MEMORABLE ANNIVERSARY WEEK

Forty years ago the week corresponding with the
present one was the most memorable, with perhaps
two three exceptions in the history Of the United
States.
On April g. 1866 the deathbow of the Southern Con-
federacy struck Gen. Lee surrendered his army to
Gen. Grant, the act being the sequel to the popular
air of the period when this cruel is over 1t was
until the following day. however, that the news
read generally by the American people
April 10 was the happiest day the north had expert
enced in national sense since the foundation of the
Union laid, while in the south 1t the saddest
in the history of that section.
With the news Of Lees surrender involving the
end of the awful four years of civil the whole north
indulged in three or four days of rejoicing.
On April 1S Gen. Grant arrived in Washington and
orders were at once throughout the country to
stop recruiting Gen. Joe Johnston still attempt
ing to stop sherman's army in North Carolina but the
inevitable surrender few days later The north
keyed to the highest pitch of joy the final
of the long struggle and Lincoln and Grant were
almost idolized
But there was sudden change in the northern re-
joicing the night of April IA About 10 o'clock that
night dispatch flashed into the morning news
paper offices that dumfounded ALL from editor to office
boy. The dispatch very brief but it told the story
that President Lincoln had just been shot by an
assassin in Ford's theater.
A few minutes later peremptory official dis
patch from Washington ordering the suppression of the
first Then everybody gave sigh of relief assum
ing that the first dispatch canard But not long
afterward a circumstantal account of the atrocious
act of Booth came the wires Even then there
was hope that Lincoln might survive but in the early
hours of the following mornng-Apri 15-the news
came that the assassins work complete Shot
the night of Good Friday, the gentle exempar of
charity to all" passed away without regainng con-
sciousness.
After the first daze of horror the atrocity the
spirit of vengeance and the assassin and
his accompces were pursued never were hunted
before.
All that is matter of familiar history The salient
facts in the closing of the Civil War recalled
now merely because it is just forty years since the
curtain dropped that bloodiest drama in the modern
history of the world.

In Luck

The typical Marblehead boy of 10 or
1c years Is much averse to attending
school, preferring to loaf about the
wharves or to earn a nickel on the golf
links.
One day last summer a Boston man
who occupies a cottage there, while
playing golf noticed that his caddie re-
manned dangerous near the tee at each
drive. After expostulating in vain he
concluded to let the boy run the chance
of getting hurt.
They had played some time, when the
lad, growing friendly and more COM

"Oh, yer'd ought ter see the luck Jim
