Labor in Factories.

Women and children who toll in the
!actories and stores of Michigan should
not be required to work more than
nine hours a day, in the opinion OF
State Labor Commissioner Malcolm ].
Mcleod. In the preface of his annual
report which is being prepared Mr..
Mcleod makes this recommendation.
AN amendment to the state law
which will shorten the hours Of work
for women and children, so that EN-
ployes of this class may not be COM
PEELED TO work more than "a hours IN
any one week, has my sympathy and
earnest recommendation. This would
include women and girls who work in
stores, who are now often obliged to
work for II 10 10 hours each day"
In discussing child labor, the COM
missioner says that parents and guard
ians who will send their children of a
tender age to the factory or workshop
for the pittance they may earn will
not scruple to make false affidavit as
to their age. He adds that there should
be either q transcript of the record of
BIRTH the church records or some other
documentary evidence required by law.
Mr.. Mcleod also recommends that
the factory inspection law be amended
to require factory managers and oper-
ators to report within "a hours with all
data any accident wherein an employee
is so injured that he is disabled and
prevented from working. Publicity
would not prevent all accidents" the
commissioner says, but it would cause
diligence, and with the reports the de-
partment could investigate these acct.
dents, determine the cause and prevent
q repetition"

The School Moneys.

Is there scheme to deposit the
100000 due from the railroads I'M
der the tax decision, in the custody of
number of pet state banks, instead
of either depositing ii in proportions in
the banks in various counties, or pay
ing it over at once to the various
school boards?
That the money will not go at once
to the school boards is the fear of
Senator Doherty, of Claire, and Rep.
William j. Galbraith, of Houghton. Mr..
Galbraith is the author of the equaliza.
ton bill which was passed by the last
Legislature, and also of the bill reduc-
ing the tax commission to three mem
bers. He Is regarded among the mem
bers OF the legislature as an authority
on taxation and tax law. There has
been newspaper talk that the money
might not be turned over.
THE law and the constitution con.
template the immediate payment OF
that money TO the various school
boards Of the state at once. The propo.
sition to divert any part of this i'm.
mense sum Of money to the normal
schools would prove most unpopular
because the ordinary Michigan citizen
is more jealous of the school fund than
Of any other, and this is right.
THE money should be paid out al
once. There Is always a danger when
there is any great sum of money to be
deposited, that It will go to a few fav
ored banks In various localities, in
stead of being distributed In the banks
throughout the state. The law intends
that the money be distributed at once
The school boards are the custodians
and they need the money. Any Other
course will be extremely unpopular"

The Case of the Negro Troops.
rst L,onis GIobe-Domocrat.1

[St Louis Globe-DemOcrat ]
The inquiry which the Senate is
to make into the dishonorable dis
charge Of the three companies Of
colored soldiers is what the country
expected But IL is we'll 10 under
stand at the start that the demo-
Gratis will fail in their attempt TO
divide and weaken the republican
party on this issue. The republi-
cans who nave been condemning the
presidents action in this case make
no reflection on his sincerity and
fairmindedness Unquestionably he
believed he had the power under
the law TO put those soldiers out of
the service. Unquestionably also
ne supposed that this punishment
was deserved
on both these points a large ele-
ment of Mr.. RooseVelt's party is
against him. But no personal at
tacks will be made upon him. A
full and fair inquiry into the facts
and the law in the case will proba-
bly, take place, and subsequent ac-
tion, IL any be found to be desira-
BILE. will be based on the result Of
the investigation. a great many
persons in the United States be-
lieve that the Presidents action was
wrong, in morals and in law. But
the matter will be investigated In
n digniiied way. No partisan capt
tai can be made by the democrats
out of the divergence between the
president and a large section of his
party on this question. Good tenn
per will be maintained throughout
by the republicans who are against
the president on this issue.
Reports as to the number of the
Negro soldiers engaged in the
Brownsville disturbance conflict.
There is also a divergence In the
stories about the extent of the pro-
vocation which was offered. No a
mount of provocation, however.
would Justify the outbreak. The
culprits violated both military and
civil law. They ought TO be pun
ished TO the full extent prescribed
in the statutes. They, however,
comprise only a small fraction OF
the three companies which the
president has outlawed Under the
American theory of the law a person
is supposed to be innocent unless
proven to be guilty. The president
has adjudged three companies of
soldiers TO be guilty without a trial
OF any of them. The inquiry which
is to be set on foot will show how
this action stands in ethics and in
law.
