The Dumb Appeal Of d Little Boy Who, for
Ten Hours Every Day, Stands Upon His
Feet Before a Machine
Nature in Him Has No Opportunity to De-
yelop, and the Innate Qualities Of Boy
hood No Chance to Expand.

1ul little creature walks home. Is
there any pleasure for him here?
IL Is hardly TO be expected, since the
family IS poor enough to feel that il
is necessary to sacrifice the child
in order that starvation may not be
the fate of all. If there were any
home pleasures in which the child
might participate his andeveloped
and weary body would not permit
him TO enjoy them. Almost before
he is able to eat his frugal supper he
drops asleep, only to be awakened
early the next morning to begin
again his round of colorless duties.
Let those who have spent happy
childhood, a childhood in which
there were the pleasures OF out-of-
door sports, the zest of keen appe-
tte after day of romping through
the woods, and the grateful reposo
following such a day during which
there would come delightful dreams
or new pastimes TO be ushered in
with the morning-let such citizens
compare their own youth with tnat
OF the laundry boy. II such had been
the early life of the average sue
cessful business man OF Washing
ton, is it probable that he would oc-
cupy the position he does today?
Would he not rather have grown
up with his hand turned against his
fellow-man. with the feeling OF
outraged humanity in his heart, and
with the desire to make the world
pay for the pleasures of which he
had been cheated? Would it be sur
prising if this boy should develop
into one who shall feel he is laboring
under great load of oppression and
injustice? VIII maturity bring to
him any pleasures he does not have
today? Can he find any comfort in
books, in art, or in music later In
life, when he is being allowed to
grow to manhood untutored and un-
cared for.
Another phase that presents itself
In the case of this child laborer is
the question of how his earning ca
pacity may be increased as he grows
older. He cannot take a clerical po-
sition, because he VIII not have the
rudimentary knowledge OF reading
and writing. He cannot be a ma
chinist. for he does not leave his
machine long enough at a time to
learn anything about the mechani-
cal appliances in the laundry. What
does the future hold for him?
This is only one of many such
cases to be found in various estab-
lishments of Washington. The glue
factories and the box factories pre-
sent pictures equally as touching
and hopeless. A visit to one of the
box factories viii reveal dozens of

in this connection il is interesting 10
note that the Indians near by have a
legend about huge star falling out
OF the heavens and dazzling the tribe
with its brightness. Then there was a
great shock and sudden darkness and
ever since then the Indians have re-
garoed Meteorite mountain with awe
Soma idea of the action of the meteor
lite can be obtained by throwing a stone
INTO the mud When the meteorite bur
led itself far into the earth the sides
Were Eeaved up. leaving a rimlike circle
about the depression. As the meteorite
sank into the earth il must have crush
ed layers of red sandstone and lime
store. 1t is believed that the white
sand FOUND in the crater and on the
sides OF the mountain is from the sand
stone pulverized by the meteor in its
descent. This sand was blown skyward
and afterward settled down on the
mountain, covering il thickly. No sand
like II IS TO be found near the noun
tain.
Many Meteorites Found.
Men searching the ground surround
ing the mountain for a distance Of sew
eral miles find small meteorites. Sew
eral of these weigh as much as 1000
pounds. and others weigh only frac-
ton of an ounce. The largest piece was
found farthest from the mountain.
These meteorites have been proved to
be practically non-magnetic This may
explain why the immense body of iron
In the buried meteor has not shown any
magnetic properties. Needles taken to
the moutain have not shown the pres
ence of any great magnetic attraction.
and this fact puzzled scientists until Il
was found that the fragments found
near the mountain did not possess mag
netism.
Another interesting discovery is the
presence of what is called Iron shale''
near the mountain. These are frag-
ments Of burned or dead iron. They
might have been broken from the me-
eeorite at the time of the terrific inn
pact. or they might have been snapped
from the larger body owing TO a sud
den cooling process.
InaSmuch as the Canyon Diablo coun-
try was at one time an immense inland
sea, another interesting theory has been
brought forth-that the meteor fell into
TINS sea. and that the great number
of spiinters OF iron i'm the neighbor-
mood were caused by the sudden cooling

Whdt Shall Be Done .

That instances Of child labor in
its worst form are never brought
to the attention Of the authorities
stands to reason. These few indi-
yidual cases mentioned here havs
been stumbled upon by the chart
table organizations of Washington.
1t must be said in behalf of those
who employ child labor that the
fault is rather that OF public negIi-
gence than of the employer. Nine
tenths Of the establishments in
which child labor is used would
gladly substitute older persons. but
for the fact that competition of other
firms using the cheaper labor will
not permit Of step toward indi-
viduaI reform.
mat the satisfactory solution Of
the child labor question presents
many difficulties must be admitted
but the stupendous injustice that re-
suits from present conditions sbouId
spur the city on TO the enactment
OF some measures that would. ar
least mitigate the present crime
against childhood and future citi-
Zenship.
The questions Of compulsory edu-
cation and child labor are so closely
interviewer that the one cannot be
differentiated from the other. One
is corollary TO the other.
The Washington times., 1906-04-01
The PhdYiSee'S S0hq

The fact that the percentage of
child labor in the Capital City is
comparatively small makes the evil
all the more insidious, for in this
way the condition is allowed TO exist
while the general public pharisai-
cally declares Washington is not like
other cities And, indeed, Washing
ton is not like other cities, but the dis
similarity is of disparaging nature
rather than otherwise, for in many
other communities where child labor
existed in times past steps have been
taken to correct the evil.
One of the most pitiable cases is
that Of the ten-year-old boy men
toned above. His parents do not
feel they can dispense with the
wages which he receives, a mere pit
tance, and as a result he eats hur-
ried breakfast early every morning
at a time when other children have
not yet wakened, for he must be at
work by o'clock. From that hour
until noon he stands before an iron
ing machine, monotonously feeding
collars TO the rollers. A more me-
chanical and irksome employment
cannot possibly De imagined. He
does not have to move his position;
he exerts no physical effort except
that of sitting up, which in the
course of a few hours Goes require
both strength and resolution. He
does not exercise his mind; his
hands are not being trained for skill
ful employment.
This child is fast becoming a
mere automaton. His mind is be-
ing dulled by continued inactivity,
his pinched features show the ef-
feet of being continually housed,
while nature demands he should be
out in the sunshine and fresh air.
His hearing is being impaired by the
constant whirr or machinery. In
fact his every sense is being blunt
cd. Even the child's ethical nature
is being corrupted, for he sees life
as nothing more nor less than
hopeless vista of pleasureless labor.
In fact he scarcely knows what the
word pleasure means His nearest
approach to the sensation is the
qualification OF the animal passion
OF hunger, and even the appeasing
of gross demand of nature has lost
its zest. for he takes his midday
meal in a heartless fashion, lack of
physical exertion having deprived
him of the small pleasure of keen
appetite.
After a long days work this pitt

ROM early morning till late
at night, in one OF the
busy laundries of Wash
ington, there stands a ten
year-old child. ceaselessly
feeding collars into an ironing ma
chine. There is never a moments
relaxation, never more than a half
hour in the day when he may sit
down and rest his weary little legs
and feet While other children of
his age are playing marbles. spin
ming tops, running and frolicking
in the squares and parks of the city
this little sufferer is pinned in be-
tween four bleak walls, stunting his
body, allowing his mind to grow as
a rank weed, and developing ma
ture In which all the sunshine Of
life has been taken away.
This tragedy of a baby soul Is oc-
curing In the very heart of the
Nations Capital. community which
boasts that it is a model for all other
municipalities, a paragon among
cities. That Washington should
make good its claim of being Ameri-
cas- ideal city is the desire Of every
citizen of the District OF Columbia,
but to endeavor to uphold this po-
sition and still permit child labor
to exist is an obvious impossibility.
Because Washington is not essen
TALLY a manufacturing city many
citizens have been led to believe the
evil of child labor does not exist
In the District. The fallacy Of this
conclusion is easily shown.
Labor in mills is not the only form
of oppression that dwarfs the body
and kills the youth-soul of child.
Whether an undeveloped boy or girl
stand at a loom for from eight to
ten hours day, or at laundry ma
chine for a like period, in every es-
sential respect the effect is the same.
The little laborer is cut off from all
the natural pleasures and the free
dom of childhood.

hope Of uncovering the secret Of Meteor

For years men have been examining
Meteorite mountain. Theories without

them have had more than presumption
TO back them up. But in recent wears

theorists has been found-the hypothesis
