EVILS OF CHILD LABOR.
Il IL Declared to be the Duty Both
Of state and Nation to Correct
Them.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 14.-Before
the first session of the Child Labor
convention here Thursday night, Dr..
Felix Adler, chairman Of the National
Child Labor committee and Professor
Of political and social ethics In Co
lumbla university, spoke on THE At
titude Of Society Toward the Child az

Ter spoke Of the inadequacy and inef-
fIcIency Of state laws and urged the
necessity for q national law to fur
nlsh a background for effective state
and local activity and make the enthu-
siasm Of the people contagious In its
effect on local bodies, thus inducing
greater efforts for the child and q
more glorious future for the republic.

Of Hull House, Chicago, and United
States Senator A. ]. Beverage follow

A resolution was adopted emphasize
ing the belief that II is the duty Of the

To read some Of the papers and fol-
low the arguments Of some public
speakers one would think railroad
has absolutely no rights In the gov
ernment Of state yet not paper or
speaker who thus argues would for
minute apply Its argument to Its
own case. Take the Santa Fe rail-
way. 1t pays sls,OOO.OOO year In
wages In Kansas alone. one-tnird the
value Of the states wheat crop. Sup
pose single firm paid 100000 10
wages in Dickinson county each year,
about one third the wheat crop, should
It not be interested In having the
county managed honestly and fairly
People would have a right to object
II 1t did too much In the management
but 1t would be unfair to say that 1t
should be simply the football Of those
who had but small interest In the
county's business life.
Railroads are entitled to fair hear
ing In governmental affairs, to a
square deal" that means what 1t
says. The Santa Fe, for instance, has
a big interest in Kansas. That inter-
est is owned by over 10000 stock
holders, many Of them with their en-
tire savings in the investment. 1t is
entitled to large influence in seeing
that its property receives a fair con-
sideration in government. That does
not mean that it shall overstep bounds
and injure others but the man or
paper that denies to an institution Of
SO gfeat magnitude in states BUSH

eminent has all the marks and signs
Of demagogue.

AFair Assessment.

1t would be no more than right for each
assessor to list all railroad p operty ct about
the same rate the citizens property Ii listed.
The railroad board nov puts the value on
railroad property. To lot the home assessor
do 1t might be the better plan.-lBrown
County World.
We are surprised to see an editor
Of Mr.. Herbert's usual good sense Sc
riOusly advocate such proposition.
The idea that a railroads value in q
township or city is merely that of the
track and right Of way is too ridicu-
lous to be considered. What facilities
has the township assessor Of Logan
township, for instance, to determine
that townships share Of the rolling
stock, terminals, side-tracks, depots,
freight houses, machine shops, ETC.,
belonging to the Santa Fe railway
II he must get the figures from state
board why not let the board make the
valuation in the first place.
Railway property should be assessed
on exactly the same rate Of citizens
property-not at "about" that rate,
but at exactly that rate. Whether it
is more or less now we do not know
but It should bear its portion Of the
taxation. Farm land in this county
is valued at IS per acre for taxatiOni
It is worth $50 to t75 in the market.
May be the railroads are assessed
lower in proposition but IL Is doubt
full. The taxation laws Of Kansas are
execrable and should be thoroughly
revised. But allowing township as
scissors to fix the value Of the railroads
won't help

the Alton-Burlington train on No
vember rs and the Rock Island linn
tied on November 8, both near Glas-
cow, Mo-, pleaded guilty here Thurs

Rumsey was charged on four diff
ferent informations. three for rob
bling passengers on the Alton-Bur-

passenger on the Rock Island train.
When given his preliminary hearing
he pleaded not guilty. Thursday he
offered to plead to two charges con-
nected with the Alton-Burlington
hold up If promised the minimum
sentence. He refused to plead guilty
to the Rock Island robbery, although
he had previously confessed to hav-
ing committed this robbery also.
The maximum penalty for train rob-
berry in Missouri Is death.
The two robberies committed BY
Rumsey were the most daring COM
mitted in the southwest in many
years. Single-handed he went through
the coaches Of both trains. forcing
the trainmen to 90 ahead Of him and
order the passengers to give up their
valuabIes. He was overpowered BY

Senator Bailey.

Levi Humbargar is teaching the
people Of Washington state some
things about politics it Is good for
them to know. In the Aberdeen Bull
letin he says:
The Senator Bailey, who, a few short
months ago, rose in the senate cham
Der and with a self-anointed air,
stated that he could no longer keep
his self-respect and associate with the
Senator Burton, who was on trial for
taking brides, and that unless the
latter resigned he, Bailey, would pre-
sent a resolution expelling him, is the
same fellow who is now on the carpet
for accepting fee from the Standard
Oil in payment for getting favorable
Legislation for that corporation
through the Texas legislature. 1t Is
really too bad that ex-senator Burton
can not be In the senate long enough
to demand the resignation Of the
sanity sinner from Texas.
II things keep on, Burton may yet
see all his prosecutors" in jail before
he leaves it. Whether Senator Bailey
will ever be convicted In court is q
question, but be is certain to be con-
victed and sentenced by the good peo-
pie Of Texas.
Moral: When you see politician
Grating too much about honesty and
the sanctity Of office, 1t is well enough
to watch him.

II was 9 curious outcome Of the In
vestigatIon Of the state treasury
started in order to make trouble for
Tom Kelly that after the state had
spent $4,000 on expert accountants
1t found Kelly's accounts more than
square--indeed the state owed him
e2.6S. 1t was also found that Frank
Grimes who was checked out four
years ago owed the state 1851 and
this amount Mr.. Grimes has paid into
the treasury.
There Is much reason to believe
that the state has never lost . penny
and that most Of the apparent short
age is due to the practice Of clipping
coupons in order to equalize the In
terest rate. The fact that such can
not be proved in every instance Is
what makes Mr.. Grimes' liability.
There is not man, woman or child
in Kansas who believes that Frank
Grimes ever received penny of the
states meney dishonesty, and in
coming forward and wiping out any
stain which might be left on his ad-
ministration he has done straight
forward and manly act, and one which
should entitle him to the respect and
confidence Of the people Of Kansas.

market had an important bearing on
the renewal of liquidation. Loans
were called and the call money rate
ran up sharply during the afternoon
to ten per cent. Some liquidation of
speculative holdings were forced at
this rate and there appeared to be a
discrimination exercised against some
securities for collateral in loans.
