THE NEW CRUSADE.

The evils of child labor in this
country undoubtedly present a ma
tional problem of the first magnitude
One in every forty inhabitants is
child under IS years of age, bound
body and soul to the loom, the coal
breaker, or to some other cruel mech
anism of corporate greed. Two mil
lion children in free America are en-
ployed in gainful occupations, and be
cause Of that reason are deprived of
the rightful heritage of every Ameri-
can child-health and education.
The industry, education and good
citizenship of the republic are men
aeed by the inhunlan conditions ex-
sitting III the great majority of those
communities which permit of child
slavery in its worst phase. A crying
need for reform is found in almost
every State and territory in the I'm
ion In Pennsylvania there are not
less than $4,000 children under 10
working in breakers or in the mines;
the cotton mills of the South employ
more than 10000 little boys and girls.
all under the age limit recognized by
humanity and the law; children in our
great cities, hidden away in dark ten
ements and cellars, out of sight anG
beyond the protection of any law
What the press and the periodicals
have done i'll the insurance cases and
the beef-packing expose MIST be done
with child slavery. The search light
of publicity is needed to eradicate
this growing evil, and 1t IS only
through unity of action and the com
bining of forces that anti-child labor
laws can be enacted and enforced
throughout the country.
The Woman5 Home Companion is
pledged TO the cause 1t is giving its
columns to the good OF publicity. It
Is enrolling its army of readers IN
vast Ant1-Child Slavery League, each
and every member of which wromises
to do his or her utmost to fight for
the freedom of the child slaves of the
country 1t believes that every child
has a right to health and education.
and because of that right must not be
permitted to labor in factory, work
shop, tenement house or in any way
prejudicial TO health and education.
In this battle for the children, the
Woman's Home Companion asks the
assistance of every man and woman
of the nation.

CITY PARK FOR
GREENVILLE.

/ hat the city OF Greenville needs a
public park for its people during the
iOng summer months IS agreed on by
every citizen 1t IS true a large num-
Ger OF our people who are able HE to
rhc mountains and sea shore when
the hot wave strikes Our home city
and may not be SO much interested
III the establishment of city park as
chose like ourselves, the big majority,
" hose business or financial ciroum-
stances keep them at home, still we
believe even those would favor the
city acquiring park and be willing
- pay their part of the tax without a
nurmur.
A city park is today the live issue
and IS beng discussed by our men,
,,omen and children. The Wilczins-
Il Park was at one time looked upon
is being the ideal spot, but the refus-
Il of Mr.. Wllzin to part with it
removed it from our minds. Now the
we OF the whole city is conferred upon
he beautiful grove, in the rear of the
park, owned by Mr.. Workman. In
ompany with several gentlemen we
isited the proposed park and can
srankly say to the Council that they
ill make no mistake in accepting it
rom Mr., Workman if rendered to
them for a park. The grove proper
overs about sixteen acres of land and
he trees are all large, spreading oaks
In the center of the grove there can
le made, at small expense, beau
,iful artificial lake, while at the east
nd there Is a large, old fashioned
;ountry home that for a few thou
and dollars can be turned into an
legant club house. Again, if desired,
| plat for ball park and race track
an be had within fifty feet of the
park, which makes the place that
mach more desirable for the park,
the pleasure place of the people.
This in our opinion is Greenville's
opportunity for park and we hops
our City Council will grasp it before
t passes from their reach
