DIR. EDWARD EVERETT HALE.
by EDWARD EVERETT HALE

Dr. Edward Evertt Hale, distin-
guishod patriot, chaplain Of the Unit
ed States senate, Americas grand old
man, has become active in the war
fare now being waged against the
evils of child labor. In a ringing
appeal to mothers of the country,
published in the Anti Child Slavery
Leagues official organ, the Woman
Home Companion for October, he
says:
Looking with a wide range over
this dear America of ours, ! think
the best and happiest life for any
boy is the wide-range open-air life
of the country, where he and his
father and mother are all united in
plan, and in fact, in the daily life
of home.
In what | might almost call this
natural systematic system which
the American people have worked out
for themselves wherever they were
not closely cemented together, four
points of the first Importance In
education are insured First Of al
the boys and girls have the advant-
age of a great deal of life in the open
air This is essential to I'll good
education.
Second, boys and girls under this
system have great deal Of inter-
course with their fathers and mothers
This is very desirable IN all education
and a failure here is a very serious
failure.
Third, the children Of tho neigh
borhood are brought together in their
schools and, indeed, in al their ac-
tive life. This is essential also; for
together Is one of the central words
Of real life. Many a line man or
woman is lost to the world because
of shyness and other forms of ina
bility which were really cultivate in
youth. On the other hand, Joy in
society is natural to the human race,
which for the purposes of such So
ciety has tongue and lips ana ea"a.
And, to add one more necessity in
education, this system gives The great
chance for health. Not TO 80 far
Their, where we have so little spec,
a large life, a life ccn5'antly en-
larging, a social life aad a strong
and happy life are well-nigh insured
in such a system.
Let us compare this with what Is
now almost system; which takes
possession that sixth part of the
children which have beel alluded to.
Suppose a little girl eight years old
is taken into a shirt factory where
she is to spend ten hours a day, or
perhaps eleven or twelve sunday is
the only day YOU might say, when
she can look up at the sky or look
on Gods world. 1t is the only day
in which for any purpose worth con
sidering she can run and play and
exercise the hands and feet and arms
and legs with which she was born.
The chances are against her in the
matter Of using her tongue or her
ears. Tho rule Of the workshop
probably forbids her talking or list
ening except to the instructions for
the daily work.
And it is hardly an even chance
whether she knows her father and
mother and her big brothers and sis
ters BY sight. Anything which you
and | would call home is gone
Or take the boy of eight or ten or
twelve years who is set to work in
the factory. There are great many

st. Petersburg, Oct. 13.-'Tho min.
later of the imperial court has is.
sued an order forbidding the Off.
Gals and employees of the court to
rent rooms or otherwise shelter any
person without special permission OF
the minister, The order is due to the
arrest of Klenpnikoff and other ter
rorists at Peterhoof Sept. 2S and the
discovery that many of the partici-
pants in the conspiracy were living
unsupported in the immediate vicln-
ity of the palace.

days In the year when he must DO
up and report at the mill before day
light, Suppose no law forbids child
labor; that mill may run twelve or
more hours ont of the twenty-four.
Now look IN your almanac and see
how many days there are when there
are not ten hours between sunrise
and sunset, All those days the little
fellow must so in the dark and come
back in the dark TO the mill He
must be IN the mill as soon as the
power is turned on. If he is not
there he loses the days work, and
he loses the days wages, very likely.
| cannot say precisely what he will
do in the mill Perhaps his business
is to carry waste" That is, he has
to sweep up the waste from the cot
ton which mas refused to be spun, to
iii great baskets on wheels with it,,
and wheel those baskets from room
to room. till he comes to the dump
ing room. There he empties the
basket, and then he goes back to the
place he started from He does this
for ten hours of the day, or fcc eleven
hours for twelve hours, as may be
directed by the laws of the state in
which he lives.
If you want to sec how such mill
children look when they are at their
work, or after it, find the Woman's
homo Companion aud examine the
pictures which we have printed for
you there.
Now compare this girl in the shirt
room, or that boy and girl IN the
factory with your own boy or girl of
any age between seven and fifteen.
In tho first place. neither in the shirt
room or in the factory has boy or
girl any chance for life in the open
air. If their fathers or mothers
mean to have them work in the mill
or in the shop, they live as near the
mill or shop as they can. True, the
mill is not a prison, but for the work
hours II is very nearly a prison. The
children cannot talk to each other,
they cannot look out of the windows,
they cannot stop while the machinery
is working. This means that they
have not the fun and JOY which chill
dren ought to have in the beautiful
world which the good God has made
for them.
or this imprisonment you must
let me speak very seriously, for it
means something winch ought to come
very close to the hearts of every
father and mother who reads these
lines. 1t is not true that Nahum is
any nearer to God when he takes the
bars to let the cattle into the pas
ture, or when he puts them up again,
or when he climbs a tree to see If
the wild cherries. are ripe, or when
he throws q stone into the chestnut
tree to make the burs fall. He is
no nearer to bod than Hosea is who
is for ten hours Of that same day
wheeling cotton waste in the mill.
No! But Nahum sees God a hun
dred times, and hears what he has
to say a hundred times, While he
drives the cows to pasture and takes
down the bars and climbs the cherry
tree or breaks open the chestnut burs
for once when for poor Micah in the
midst of the clattor and dust and
smell OF the factory sees him or hears
him.
What you and l can do about IL
is this;

AH PANE to this section from Howell
+. county Missouri, they we're looked
lpoh as negroes as a matter OF
course. Strenuous denIals not only
added TO the prejudice OF fhe white
neighbors, but served to aleniate the
negroes, who looked upon the new
conner as a Pariah and a traitor to
their race.
When Hall sent his children to
school they were greeted with rendi-
lions of Coon, Coon, Coon" by the
other students. The climax came
when the prosecuted children were
elected from the school by the direc-
tors Of the district on the ground that
they were negroes. Then the father
brought suit for damages against the
members OF the school board, and
this resulted in bringing the strange
history OF the family of Halls to light.
The ancestors of the present family
was Henderson Hall, who settled in
Tennessee long before the war. His
father and his fathers fathers before
him had been seafaring people en-
gagged in the Brazilian trade. They
came of a long line Of Portuguese sail
ors, whose many journeys under the
blazing tropical sun had further
blackened the naturally dark skin of
the sons of Portugal The grandson
IS now in possession Of deeds and 9th
er papers showing that Henderson
Hall was land owner in Tennessee
before the war which proves conclu-
sively that he was not considered a
negro. Locks of hair Of this ancestor
are also carefully kept by the family
and have been introduced as evidence
in many courts
Henderson Hall moved to southern
Missouri after the war where he mar
Tied the daughter of n pioneer res
dent Of Howell county, Frederick Col
yer by name. To the time of his
death Colyer refused to speak to his
son-in-law, believing him a negro.
Henderson Hall died about five
years ago. He left many children
and grand children and nearly all of
them, wherever they have gone have
had trouble with the school boards
for refusing to permit their children
to attend the white schools.

that he is very near to us and we are

Pitched Battle Between Japs and Whites

News reached Phoenix recently oG an exciting pitched battle few days ago out on the Grand Canyon branch of the Santa Fe between small army of native laborers and slightly bigger bunch of Japanese at work on the railway.
 The Japanese despite their reputa- tion for invincibility and irresistible valor were ignominously worsted not withstanding heir numerical superior itv, and put to flight by the sons of the southwest.
 There were forty-fve natives and eightv-five Japs. The encounter took place near Red Lake station and the cause of the breaking out of hostili- ties has not been ascertained. The Japs were outclassed from the first.
 The fight was running one for sev- eraI miles, the participants picking LID portions of the rocky stratum of that section as they ran and the ail was full of missiles over a large part of Coconino county. The natives nroved much the best marksmen and inflicted severe losses on the enemy.
 After d truce was declared and a protocol signed it was found that eight Japs were hors de combat and q great many natives were badly cut and bruised, all the latter, however, being still in fighting condition.
 The Japanese were plcked mp py the Red Cross corps and taken to the bosnitai at Williams where they are now being nursed back to .vigor. It was a fierce battle while it lasted,
