elected for two years and no member
is eligible to the same general office
for more than two terms consecutive
ly, and as Mrs. Shiek was placed at
the head Of the federation last fall for
the second time. she will find this prog
n~ostication more amusing than valu-
able. The provision of the constitu-
ton which DEGREES that elections shall
be held biennially has been found very
wise, as it relieves alternate sessions
of the organization of the routine work
connected with the selection of officers.

Good SmeIlerS Needed.

The bibulOuS down in Maine-and
spite of prohibition they do exist
down there in large and impressive
numbers are doubtless chuckling
over the recent decision of the law
court in the case Of State vs.. IN
toxicating Liquors, the Grand Trunk
Railway Company of Canada, claim
ant. This is one of the most inn
portant that the courts of Maine
have delivered themselves of in a.
great many years. 1t is, in effect,
that liquors cannot Ee seized in
transit from outside regions of al
cohol into the Pine Tree State. and,
most important of all, that the
transit does not end until after the
goods leave the car.
Heretofore the sheriffs of various
Maine counties had a merry little
habit of bursting open freight cars
and cOnfiscating stimulating refresh
ments of all sorts. from pocket
pistols to barrels of beer. Dealers
from outside, as well as the railroad
officials themselves, have been made
very angry by this sort of applied
mechanics. but not until recently
have they stood up in their boots
and carried the matter 10 the high
est tribunal in the State.
Now that the learned Justices Of
Maine have decided that transit
does not end until after the goods
leave "a freight car, a grave duty
will devolve upon the sheriffs. To
be sure, they can no longer burst
in the ears 10 see if their suspicious
of alcohol are correct, but men with
keen smelling perceptions, and with
noses we'll trained in alcoholic sense,
can doubtless detect a car bearing
drinkablcs at a considerable dis
tance away.
IN order, then, that the willy deal
ers to whom the load is consigned
may not be, like the pestilence of
the Old Testament, those that
''wallketh in darkness" for the pur-
poses of carrying away their con-
signments, we see nothing for it but
that the sheriffs must camp out in
freight cars, armed with their
trusty axes that they may smash
the parcels containing the fluid of
Satan as soon as they are dragged
out from their hiding place.

HORRIBLE TORTURES
FATE OF PREACHER
WHILE IN PERSIA
George Daniel. Naturalized Citizen of New York
in Washington Seeking Redress for Assaults
That Endangered His Life

Dragged through the streets Of
Oroomiah, Persia, fed on bread and
water. and compelled TO solicit aims
for eighteen months. George Daniel.
a naturalized citizen of New York
and minister of the Gospel, is in
Washington seeking redress for the
tovtures and indignities TO which he
was subjected because he preached
the word Of God.
Although only thirty-six years old. the
Rev Mr.. Daniel looks fifty. His cheeks
are sunken and colorless, and his big
brown eyes are Iusterless. He says he
lost sixty pounds during his imprison-
ment in a deIapidated house outside the
city of Oroomiah and the time he spent
begging on the streets
The minister has called at the State
Department and laid the facts in
his case before Third Assistant
Secretary Wilson. who Is making an in
vestigatiOn. The Rev Mr. Daniel insists
that his imprisonment was not justified,
and he wants damages for his mental
and physical suffering. He has asked.
therefore. that the State Department
take steps 10 punish his prosecutors.
He exhibited his naturalization papers
70 Mr.. Wilson in support of his claim to
citizenship in this country. The papers
are dated January Is. 1903 and were
taken out in New York city.
Born of parents of great wealth in
KuTdistan, Turkey. in 1870, George Dan
lei was reared without schooling or ad-
vice from them. and grew up like
weed. He says he has beaten many a
man, robbed more, and piuaged numer-

After living for some time in Am r

two schools there on October !, 1898. He
was much pleased with the result for

The Law Should Pass.

Until the whole nation is aroused
TO an effective cooperation for the
prevention of child labor-as it has
never been reused in any other
cause-that dreadful abuse viii con-
tinue in certain States. As long
as it continues in certain States, the
enforcement of adequate State laws
against it Will give the dishonest
and heartless manufacturer in States
not so well governed distinct, tan
eible, dollars-and-centsp premium on
bad citizenship;
In order, then, TO correct the evil
of child labor substantially, it is
essential that some sort of a gem
eral law shall be devised to deprive
the manufacturer and miner of
a general market for child-made
wares. Without constitutional
amendment no general law can be
made 10 govern State consumption.
But with the Constitution as it is,
and general pure food, meat inspec-
ion, and distillery laws in force,
there is every reason TO believe a
general law can be drafted which

After being incarcerated for what

and accomplish the comprehensive
restriction indicated.
This has been the purpose of Sen
ator Beyeridge in writing and in
Producing What has been termed a
national ctIld-iaboT law. If, as there
is every good reason to suppose, his
draft does not transcend the power
of Congress, and shall be made law,
il is no eXtravagant statement to
say that he win have done more for
the American people than when he
carried through the Senate his plan
for Federal supervision over the
meat-packing industries.
The theory of the legislation is,
indeed, the same But il is not so
far-reaching. As long as a meat
inspection law is enforcible it may
be assumed To be possible to forbid
by Federal enactment any factory,
mine, or shop from employing the
labor of children, if any of the
wares so made are to be shipped
across the borders of any State.
But Senator Beveridge has wisely
not gone so far. His bill imposes
its restrictions only upon manufac-
turing establishments and mines
which ship their products directly
over the lines of interstate carriers.
Small factories and sweat shops are
not considered. Yet practically
every cotton mill and every mine is
reached. This done, il is reasonable
to expect the managers of those
enterprises who are now often effec-
tive obstacles to the enforcement OF
state laws, 10 become powerful
agents in their behalf For no busi-
ness man, however heartless. will
permit a rival to employ cheaper
labor than is permitted TO him-not
If he can prevent it.
The bill ought to pass. Without
more delay than marked the enact
ment of meat inspection law. Some
such Legislation is indispensable 10

costly and farther reaching in its
effects than the adulteration of our
food products The latter can at
the most affect only the health of
the present. But child labor threat
