Northern Capital Blamed for condl
tions in South.
New York, Dec. 4,-That there are
thousands of child slaves mostly little
girls, working in the textile mills of
the South and that Northern capital
is to blame for this condition, was
the declaration of Mrs. Frederick Ma
than Of the Consumers league, who
addressed an audience Of about 1900
persons at the first winter session of
the peoples forum" in the New
Rochelle theater.
"The capital of the country Is liter
ally devouring little children" said
Mrs. Nathan. when one of the negro
slaves of the South died he had to be
replaced. but these child slaves work
where the dust chokes them and gives
them tuberculosis and nobody cares.
Many of them die, but there are al
ways others.
AT a time when these little chill
dren should be nesting in their beds
they are aroused by the shrill sound
OF the factory whistle and compelled
to go to work that lasts, sometimes,
far into the night Others are en-
ployed all night and when morning
comes they may be found lying around
the factory on benches because they
are too worn out to go home for break
fast" ~

UNDER ANTITRUST LAW.
City Of Atlanta Wins Suit Against
.--... Pipe Combine. IL

City or Atlanta Wins Suit Against
800. - r. Pipe Combine. = &c
Washington, Dec. 4.--The supreme
court of the United States, has decided
the case of the city. Of Atlanta, Ga,
against the so-called pipe line trust"
in favor of the city. The title of the
case AS it was presented to the court
was the Chattanooga Foundry and
Pipe Works and South Pittsburg Pipe
company VS.. the city of Atlanta, the
case coming to this court In pursll-
ance of an effort by the pipe manu-
facturers to secure the reversal of a.
decision by the circuit court of ap-
Eeals, which was unfavorable to them.
The suit was instituted by the city
under the Sherman antitrust law on
the complaint that by the combina-
ton of the manufacturers the munich
pality had been compelled to pay an
excess of $4,000 over a fair price on
orders for pipe amounting to $4,000.
The city asked damages in the sum Of
sac, 900, or three times the amount Of
loss, but the court of appeals, affirming
decision by the circuit court for
East Tennessee, allowed $1,000. The
essential violation of the law alleged
was that all the pipemakers had so
manipulated their bids as to throw
the contracts to the Admission Pipe
and Foundry company Of Admission,
Ala, rendering that company's bids
the lowest offered, Notwithstanding
they were still exorbitant ':s:@s

SHOT UP" DAKOTA TOWN.
Disclosure Concerning Past Record of
IL teE.s CeIored Troops. 4~.@ &

Washington, Dec. 4-The war de-
partment is preparing for an investi-
cation by congress Of the case of the
companies Of the Twenty-fifth infantry,
recently discharged without honor by
order of President Roosevelt, and to
this end has compiled record of
negro troops dating back to the Civil
war. 1t is said that this record dis
closes a state of affairs not generally
known-that once before at least the
Twenty-ffth infantry "shot up !. a
town" The affair happened In 1885
at Fort sturgis, s.. D. Some OF the
negro soldiers went on a rampage
similar to that at Brownsville, Tex.
and one OF their number killed citi-
zen. In that case, however, the citi-
zens took the matter in their own
hands, forced the troopers under pain
of death to disclose the name OF the
man who did the killing and then took
him out and 1ynched him. "a, 4, III.

b The length Of President Roosevelt's
message and the multiplicity of the
subjects covered adds another chapter
to. the remarkable career of this re.
markable man. Just when the presi.
dent finds time to devote to SO much
literary work is one of the enigmas
OF this administration and an evidence
Ct the strenuosity of the life of the
man. Not only is the president pro
lltle but he is interesting. He writes
nothing that is bad His composition
is good and his conclusions sound.
He probably makes many mistakes
but the people either do not see them
or overlook them. Few can be found
VINO are bold enough to criticise
Roosevelt There is a holiness about
his manner departure from the
%custonaary-that pleases the people.
Contingencies may arise that will
cause republicans to regret he has
been SO positive In t1is assertions that
he e. will not accept a renomin alton for
another term. ........ -

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


The Tribune gives today the full
text of President Roosevelt's mes.
sage to congress AS usual, the presi-
dents recommendations are vigorous
and will repay careful reading. The
conservatives will differ with him on
some of his recommendations, but he
has the faculty of appealing to the
great mass Of the people and of OBJ
tanning from congress what legislation
he desires. He touches a vital truth
when he deprecates the preaching of
mere discomfort" by labor agitators,
and his views on the race question are
the we'll known ones he has been known
always to maintain. His demand for
more complete control of corporations
is in line with the trend of public
sentiment. His advocacy of an in
heritance and income tax will be
popular with those who have been
educated to believe that too large
fortunes are a menace to the average
welfare Of all the people. It is a
serious question whether congress
should peRalize large accommodations
OF wealth by a tax such as has been
1 suggested and congress will no doubt
hear some brilliant debates on this
question. Other recommendations in
the message deal largely with depart
mental questions and do not touch
any unusual topics. It will suggest
itself to the reader that the presi-
dents strenuosity is reflected in the
amplitude and scope of his message
and that his is a remarkable mentality
that can find time to deal 50 fully
with so many questions, IN addition to
performing his Numerous executive
duties. e. 5ssss IT,. E. .2,...

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.

The national congress on uniform di-
vorce laws is in session in Philadelphia
and many opinions are being expressed
on the subject. Nobody questions the
desirability of a uniform divorce law
for the entire country. Under existing
conditions hardly half a dozen states
have the same divorce laws, or any
thing like the same. A cause for di-
vorce in one state is not a cause in
another state. Some states refuse to
recognize divorces granted in other
states. The result has been chaos and
bewilderment.
That the divorce is an evil must be
admitted, but that we are going to have
divorces as long as we have marriages
must also be admitted. For, as long as
we have marriages people who are not
suited to each other will be married,
and it is better for them to procure a
legal separation than to live unhappily
together. No woman should be bound
for life to a man she loathes, and no
man should be bound to a woman he
makes miserable.
An interesting feature OF Tuesday,
discussion in Philadelphia was the talk
regarding the age when a girl may be
said to be capable of selecting her life
partner. One of the men wanted the
age fixed at Is, and declared that no
girl under that age could possibly know
her own mind in so important a mat
ter. That was a rather broad state
ment, and it was promptly contradicted
by a woman, the delegate from Utah
Mrs. Rachel Siegel. Mrs. Siegel ia
yored 16 as the minimum age limit.
The truth is that nobody can make a
rule of that sort that will always work
out properly. Some girls are perfectly
competent to choose husbands at 16
some women, If their experience is
anything like safe guide, are not COM
petent at so to choose. The other day
I'm Philadelphia there died after Il
wears of married life, woman who was
welded at 16. Instance after instance
of similar character could be cited.
SO 16 seems to be a safe enough age
though mighty few mothers and fathers
would care to see their daughters be-
come wives as young as that Twenty
vears seems young enough and ole
enough. and, law or no law, that is
about the average age of women al
their first marriage

MR. CAMPBELL RESIGNS.

Robert S. Campbell. for some years
general manager of the Utah Light &
Railway company. has resigned his po-
sition. THE resignation has been ac-
cepted by the new board of directors
and Mr. Campbell retires shortly to en-
gage in other business. The good
wishes of the entire community will
go with him, Under the gravest diff
culties Mr., Campbell rlabored from the
time he took his place as the executive
head Of the company.
Hampered by lack of funds, embar-
raised by accidents that no human eye
could foresee, that no human hand
could guard against, he went ahead do
ing his level, efficient best. 1t became
a fad with some people to abuse the
street railway and the lighting system.
Men who have made miserable failures
int their own lines did not hesitate to
assert in ali seriousness that they could
successfully handle the Utah Light &
Railway company.
Mr.. Campbell never complained about
criticisms, however unjust they might
be. With rare good nature, with un-
tagging courtesy, he kept at his work
and if he could have had the facilities
for doing so he would have given Salt
Lake City a street railway system and
a lighting system that they would
have called attention to with pride.
The Herald wishes Mr.. Campbell well
wherever he may go and whatever he
may do. 1t hopes that his new work
will be interesting and profitable to
him and that he may live many years
to enjoy 1t.

a YARN FROM THE SEA.

The triple expansion engine, the twin
screws. the water tight compartments
and all the other things that go to
make travel by sea swift, safe and lux
urious, haven't dGs sroyed the romance
OF the bounding deep. Hear the testi-
mony Of Spencer, the first officer of
the staunch steamer st. Andrews. I'M
York the other day Spencer got this
story out of his system:
Near Cape Race three meteors
ripped fiery lines through the sky and
raced above the waves like giant fly
ing fish.
Stretching far into the air was a
reddish-white trail of flame twenty
feet or more in diameter. Below, zig
tagging toward the surface of lumpy
sea, was the giant meteor that had
the sky. When it was within half a
mile of the sea it began rocking, or
swinging, if you like; anyhow, going
from side to side, and leaving a zigzag
trail 1t was bigger than my cabin,
which is twelve feet wide, and it must
have weighed tons. 1t was less than a
mile away to the south and on the port
beam, and when it struck the sea it
must have cooked a million fish all
around. The water boiled up to a
height of twenty feet or more, and the
vapor created by the steam spread over
a space wider than the length of the
ship, and that is more than $50 feet"
bod CAST our tarry top-lightsi Here's
a story that is a story. And of course
every word of it is true, for surely no
honest sailor man would deviate by so
much as the breadth of a hair from
the path of honesty in narrating hap
penings of the sea. We confess feel
ing OF joy over this yarn. 1t has about
it an element of novelty that is most
attractive. No sea serpent yarn for
Spencer, no musty tale of an enormous
serpent with a body as thick as a
barrel, scales a foot wide and three
heads. each adorned with fiery eyes.
He tells a real tale, tale with a
thrill to it, and he tells it we'll We
take off our hat to this gallant seaman
May he live long on the briny and
come TO port after every trip with
something as entertaining to relate.
