Child Labor Legislation.

Arguments which were Old Wnen
Webster and Calhoun were battling
ON the floor of the senate over the
question of state sovereignty were
paraphrased by the representatives or
organized labor in their discussion OF
the best means of wiping out the evil
of child labor State legislation was
finally indorsed by the combined vote
of those who held that under the con-
stitution congress could not legislate
on the ages and hours Of labor in the
various states and of those VINO,
through distrust of the federal courts,
wished laws which would be enforced
by Judges answerable more directly
to the voters.
The resolution which brought on
this discussion was introduced by w.
L. A. Johnson and Thomas F. Flynn,
delegates from the Brotherhood of Boi-
lermakers and Iron Shipbuilders. Aft
er reciting the need of legislation on
the subject of child labor and point
ing out that the various state laws
were conflicting and often inefficient
1t called on the federation to endorse
a uniform child labor law and, through
its legislative committee, cooperate
with and assist the National Child La
Dor association.
Tie committee on resolutions amend
ed this resolution by substituting for
such a law by the next congress" the
words "of law in the several states
prohibiting the employment of chill
dren under sixteen years of age" The
committee recommended the adoption
Of the resolution as amended. The
convention concurred after long de-
bate.

1t is quite noticeable that the
northern half of the state covers
considerable of the territory of
Tie state and that her represent
t .tion in the state senate is only
seven members out of sixty
three; and in the legislature is
only fourteen out of 119. This
being true, there is but little
chance for good practical drain
age men to reach the legislature,
as there are at present only
fourteen seats to fill. Can not
you, Mr.. Voter, see the need of
electing Mr.: O psahl, when it may
be possible that he may be the
best posted drainage man to be
elected this fall? Northern
Minnesota needs such men.
Help get them there by giving
your vote to Mr.: Opsahl. He
knows northern Minnesota and
will work for drainage and state
development.

The nomination of Judge
Pendergast for lieutenant gov
ernor by the democrats is one of
the shrewdest things the demo
cratic party has done this year.
Judge Pendergast has a following
in the northern part of the state
that will be enthusiastic for him
and Johnson from now on, where
it probably would have been luke
warm, otherwise, and ended by
voting for. Cole and Eberhart.
The democrats will not carry the
northern counties, but Mr..
Pendergast will run away ahead
of his ticket in this section and
will doubtless pull many votes
for his chief. =%...~

Mr.. HILL TO THE. FARMER,

It is sensational, but for that
reason, possibly, none the less a
true picture, which James J..
Hill draws of the Uoited States
in 1850 or therea bouts. Prodigal
America, he declares, is wasting
its national heritage Of mineral
and forest wealth. with no
thought for the FUTURE and in
fifty Yeas he sees country with
no iron or coal mines of her own
and with no more forests to be
made into lum Der and fuel.
Not only. that: but our public
land will be entirely gone BY. that
time, our population will be over
two hundred millions, and we
will be confronted with the prob,
lem of supporting over. twice as
large . population ,assa at present
on vastly diminished resources.
There isa moral insthis rather
melancholy reelection. and. Mr..
Hill points it out. IN "a forcible
way; the land must be made 10
produce more; when our other
resources fail, we must fall back
on the tillage Of the soil, Intep.
sifed farming is what is neces.

practice, but 9 farming that will

time at the Office of the company

by the district attorney to warrant
the statement that one or two and
perhaps three arrests will be made
shortly.

land Office In which are noted a num-
Der of important changes In the rules

I. Final proofs in all cases where
the same are required by the general
land laws or regulations Of the de-
apartment, must be taken In accordance
with the published notice; provided,
however, that such testimony may be
taken within 10 days following the

2. Where final proof, or any part
thereof. has not been taken on the day

after, under the exception and as re-
quired In rule 1, you will direct new

ant or witness is taken at different
place than that advertised the commits
| siOner may, II in his opinion same Is

essary, and no protest or objection has

mittted. II regular In all other re-
| spects, may be accepted without fur

Lord" harrington Of Check
cred Career to Hang for 4
Murder Of McCann.

Associated Press to The Evening Tinss.
st. Louis, Mo-. June 28.-After
life Of crime beginning with boyhood,
Lord" Frederick Seymour Darlington,
society highwayman, resourceful
crook. bigamist. forger and murderer.
is to pay the penalty of his last crime
on the scaffold tomorrow. Arrange
ments have been completed for the
execution In the county Jail at Clay
ton.
The crime for which Darlington is
to die on the scaffold was the murder
of James p. Mccain, q well-known
sporting man of this city, on June Is,
1903. Mccain was shot, his body rob-
bed and his remains thrown into q
pond at Bonfils. BY a peculiar CO.
incidence the nude body of the MUIR
dered man was discovered floating In
the pond just three years ago yester-
day.
During the active years of his career
Lord" harrington was one of the
most picturesque figures in polite"
crookdom, for although he was of
lowly origin his speciality of passing
as member of the British peerage
went we'll in several cities and helped
him to live without work for years.
He was the BON Of hack driver in
Tunbridge Wells, England and his
real name is F. G. Barton. He was ar
rested for the first time at the age of
seven years, when he was caught set
ting fire to the common. At twelve
he was sentenced to five years in Red
Hill reformatory for embezzlement.
After serving three years he made his
escape by means of rope, only to be
arrested two years later and sentenced
for robbery. For this he served in
Yorkshire prison.
The clever crook, who had taken to
himself the name of Frederick Syden-
ham Burgoyne, stole securities valued
at $4,000 at the age of eighteen, and
was sentenced to ten years penal
servitude, but was released on
forged pardon.
About this time he decided it would
be to his advantage to give himself
new surrounding by joining the army,
there he could observe the ways of the
officers who made up much of the Eng
lish society. This was in his twenty
second year, but before his enlistment
was a year old he had forged a fur
Tough, fled from the army and COM
mitted burglary for which he did
ten years stretch.
That completed the English police
record. What crimes he succeeded in
committing in the short interval be-
tween his prison sentences are not
known, but are believed to be many.
He got into some of the best house.
holds as servant, studied the men,
bers of society he served as an artist
studies his model and in later years
made good use of his studies. He rob-
bed a clergyman three times, and each
time by sorrowing profession of re-
pentance and glib quotation succeeded
in being forgiven. When he was fin
ally landed behind the bars for the
