cumstances IL is almost impossible that
they can become good citizens. This
child labor is poorly paid and while in
numerous cases it contributes to the
subsistence of the families Of the work
ers it is not of general benefit and is in
the way Of the employment of adult
labor. Most of the states have laws
regulating child labor and generally
such laws are adequate, but the trouble
is they are not strictly enforced. Per-
haps the establishment Of "child labor
day" to be observed by Christian
churches and Hebrew synagogues
throughout the country. would be con-
ducive to the better enforcement of the
laws and thus prove an effective chech
to the growth of child labor.

CONTENT As SHE is.

A few days ego a member of the
Canadian senate called upon President
Roosevelt and they talked about COM
mercial conditions between the Domin-
ion and this country. The Canadian
senator said that while few years ago
there was a strong movement for reel
procity between the two countries the
subject is now scarcely mentioned. The
people of the Dominion are looking
abroad for an outlet for their surplus
products and have already built up a
large and prosperous export business,
The senator said: IF we should enter
into a reciprocal agreement with the
United States, we should be obliged to
change our relations with Great Britain
Our people have no desire to do that
In Great Britain and in some other
foreign markets Canada is a competitor
of the United States"
This undoubtedly expresses the prac,
tically unanimous sentiment of the peo-
pie of Canada. Except with portion
of the agricultural producers there is
no desire for reciprocity with this
country and as Canada goes on increas-
ing her export trade the feeling of com
mercial Independence will grow. Per,
haps the New England advocates OF
reciprocity. who have considered only
their local interests, have come to
procal trade arrangement with the DO
miniOn has gone by. What is probable
in the near future is that Canada may
have Il tariff more favorable to Great
Britain than the present one and there

GROWTH OF CHILD LABOR.

The national child labor committee Is
actively working to check the increase
in the employment of children which is
said to be taking place In many states.
A meeting is soon to be held in New
York for the purpose of establishing a
child labor day, to be observed by all
Christian churches and Hebrew syna-
gogues throughout the country. The
idea is that a national movement, in
which all churches should participate,
is necessary TO secure the enforcement
of the laws In those states which now
have adequate legislation and TO secure
their adoption in states where no laws
have been passed.
Referring to the movement the Brook
Ign Eagle remarks that "of all the
phases which our greed for money has
taken none is so sickening as this prac-
tice Of coming the blood and bones of
little children into dollars" 1t views
as dlscouraging and disgusting the fact
that after years of active effort for
adequate factory laws and mining laws,
by a national organization allied with
various state workers, the employment
of children should be increasing instead
of dying out. 1t points out that the
growth of school population cannot &c
ON unless children arrive at adult age
with unstunted and fully developed
bodies. and factory and mine labor seri
ously threatens such mature develop,
ment I'm several sections of the country
The matter is important from the moral
social and economic points Of view. In
vestigation has shown that where EN-
ployment of child labor In factories and
mines is extensively practiced the moral
conditions are generally bad. A great
many Of the children are utterly Hitter
ate and for the most part are socially
degraded. Growing up under such cir,

Menace to Individual Thrift.

Chicago chronicle.
The mutual benefit societies OF France
object to the workmens pension bill now
pending in the chamber of deputies for this
reason: 1.-THE moment the state imposes
the payment of subscriptions the workman
will be not only unable to pay the volun-
tary subscriptions that compose our
budget, but will lose even the habit of
economy and foresight" This is serious
matter not only for the societies. but for
the French people, whose phenomenal
thrift has made France rich despite enor-
nous and increasing public expenditures
and gross and persistent errors in eco
nomic legislation. Whatever threatens TO
undermine this thrift threatens to destroy
French posterity and economic eminence

WHERE CONGRESS SHOULD INTERPOSE

WHERE CONGRESS SHOULD INTERPOSE
Application has been made to congress
for II special law for a federal charter
vesting corporate powers in the Car
negie Foundation. This is the trust
| fund to which the great ironmaster has
transferred $10,0OO,OO0, the income of
which is to be used for pensionlng super
animated professors in American col
! leges and universities. In making his
| deed of trust, however, Mr.. Carnegie
so worded the grant as to give rise to
the impression that in the distribution
of this fund the faculties of state uni
versities were to be excluded, along with
those of sectarian and class institutions,
and that the benefciaries were to be
sought only in the great private en-
dowed educational institutions.
The injustice and injury which such
n discrimination would work against the
state universities has been pointed out
questionably voices the sentiment Of
those connected with the administration
OF all the principal state-supported uni
versities of the middle west. The eX-
clusion of these institutions from equal
treatment under the Carnegie Founda-
ton could not fail to handicap them in
their efforts to secure and retain desir
able members of their Institutional
IN,
with the favored universities would re-
quire them to establish pension funds
of their own, something that is abso-
lutely impracticable in view of the fact
that they must look solely to the pro-
ceeds of taxation to augment their in
comes, and the taxpayers of their re-
spective states could not consistently
establish such pension funds for their
state universities without applying them
to the entire system of free public
schools and eventually to civil pension
list.
When the trustees of the Carnegie
Foundation met to organize it was
given out that this question of barring
state universities from participation was
still open and to be decided later by
that body after fuller investigation. 1t
seems to us that congress now has it in
its power to insist upon a removal Of
this discriminating feature as a condi-
ton to the federal charter which the
Foundation is seeking. The states which
maintain free universities are numerous
when it comes to representation in con-
gress and if their representatives would
take up this matter they would surely
accomplish the desired result.
1t would i'll behoove congress, repre-
senting the interests of all the states, to
charter an institution resting upon an
odious discrimination against those very
states whose people tax themselves
most to provide higher education for
their children. Such n discrimination
would put still heavier burden upon
these universities than they now bear
as compared with those with private
endowments. whereas it should he the
aim of congress to tighten the burden
wherever possible.
