TWO CHILD LABOR BILLS.
Senators BeverIdge and Lodge Rivals for
the Credit OF Enacting One Into Law.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-With one eye
cast suspiciously upon the Hon. Henry
Cabot Lodge Of Massachusetts, and the
other eye turned hopefully in the direc-
ton Of vice-President Fairbanks the Hon
Albert J. Beverldge of Indiana rose in
his seat in the Senate to-day and intro
duced a bill concerning the employment
of child labor. IL was the first general bill
Of the session. When the measure had
been duly entered on the records Mr.. Bev-
eridge sat down with a sigh of triumph
and relief.
II was fully twenty-five minutes later
before Senator Lodge Introduces mother
bill on the same subject. And now the
or Mr.. Lodge be regarded as the father
expected TO enact at this session, OF will
Mr.. Lodge be entitled to the honor Mr..
Beveridge's friends say that he will fight
to the last ditch to prevent credit in this
respect from being wrested from him.
Mr.. Lodges friends say hat he doesn't
care who gets the credit II a satisfactory
bill is passed.
Mr.. Lodge believes the State Of Massa-
chusetts has the model child labor law, and
he proposes that az a Federal law, with
slight notifications, extending il TO iEyer-
state senator Lodges bill for
bids the interstate transportation Of articles
produced by children under Ia years Of age
and extends III inhibition Of children Of
10 years who cannot read and write. The
penal clause imposes a fine of $500 and inn
prisonment for one year. The bill differs
materially from h Beveridge bill.

OUTLOOK FOR SHIPPING BILL.
Effort to he Made To-day TO Get q Favor
able Report Committee Evenly Divided.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The advocates of
the shipping bill will make a determined
effort tomorrow at the first meeting this
session of the Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries TO get a favorable
report upon the measure. Repeated eff
forts to get the bill out Of the committee
were made at the last session. but failed
because OF the opposition Of four Repub-
lican members of the committee. Since
then the friends Of the measure have sue
ceeded in winning over to their side one Of
the former opponents Of the bill Repre-
sentative Watson of Indiana.
As the members of the committee are
now lined up there il only scant hope that
the bill will meet with favorable considera-
ton. There are eighteen members of the
committee-twelve Republicans and six
Democrats. OF this number, two, Mr..
Flack OF New York, Republican, and Mr..
McDermott of New Jersey, Democrat, both
OF whom are favorable to the measure. are
absent from Washington on account OF
illness and neither has been able to obtain
"a pair. While Mr.. McDermott has never
been ~outspoken in the matter, il is generally
understood that although all of his Demo-
cratic colleagues on the committee are
opposed to the bill he would vote for II il
he were present. With these absentees out
of consideration the lineup of the COM
mittae 10 expected TO be as follows:
For the Senate bill-Messrs. Grosvenor.
Miner, Greene, Fordney, Wachter, Little
field, Humphrey and Watson, all Republi-
cans.
Against the Lii 49, Messrs. Spright,
Goulden, Maynard, Sherley and Patterson
Of North Carolina, Democrats; Birdsall,
Wilson and Hinshaw, Republicans.
With the committee thus evenly divided
the motion TO report tie bill out will be lost,
and 1t il expected that this is what will
happen in the committee tomorrow.
The advocates of subsidy are hoping that
there will he some absentees among the op-
ponents of the bill tomorrow, or that n
Of the three Republican opponents may be
won over This seems to be their only
chance OF getting favorable consideration.
II the effort to report the Senate bill fails,
a proposition will be advanced to frame a
bill along the lines laid down by the Presi-
dent in his INT message for the encour-
agement Of trade relations with South and
Central America, and with the Orient.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-An opinion Of the
utmost importance to manufacturers Of

by the Department OF Agriculture. In
response TO a letter Of inquiry from a manu-
f~acturer of o blended whiskey Secretary
Wilson has reached the conclusion that
the mixture Of Ell raj spirits with a real

The Department believes that II neutral

NPPALACUIAN FOREST RESERVE.

The prospects for the Appalachian
Forest Reserve seem to nave been
greatly improved by the presentation
made to the committee last week by
Governor Glenn and others OF a strong
delegation hat visited Washington.
The cutting. Staying n burning of
timber on the Appalachian mountains
is costing the South millions Of dol
lars. The forest reserve would not
only save the forests but would pro-
tcct the farms that are now washed
the magnificent water power for
manufacturing. n cost in these di-
rections is so great as to alarm farm
crS and manufacturers. In the dele
CATION at Washington were manufac-
turers who said that the streams upon
which they were dependent for water
power were threatened and the lessen
ing of the water power would involve
them in serious loss. Governor Glenn
predicted that if the injury continued
the bonds issued by great manufacture
ing concerns that run for forty years
could not be paid upon maturity.
Objection having been made by
some one that this Congress could rot
max the appropriation because it had
been necessary to make Il large APP
preparation to help the sufferers Of
the San Francisco earthquake and fire,
Governor Glenn told the committee
that the advocates of forest prescrVa-
ton ~applauded the act making that
appropriation. but he added that
while it startled the world by its nd
dennc<a the people advocating the
forest reserve had been suffering
gradually by the destruction of fire
and flood and there ought to be no
delay in putting an end to the injury
that increases yearly. 1t is destruc-
ton that one State can not end be-
cause it is inter-State.
The argument for the Forest Re
serve is 50 strong that it is surprising
that steps have not long ago been
taken to preserve the forests. In the
far West large sums have been APP
prOprlated for the preservation of
forests, and the government ought to
adopt the same policy in the Appala-
chian and White Mountains.

THE TWO CAUSES.

ton election in Raleigh is wholly due
to two causes:
/. They wish to create division in

temperance men stand together. they
compose the majority of the voters in
Raleigh and will win. But if they
can get discord, then the saloon forces
can get on top. That is why the

KEEP FACTS STRAIGHT.

Some people really misunderstood
Mr.. LauShinghousc and thought he
MAS making war on lawyers. others
pretended to think so. As a matter
Of fact. Mr.. LaughinShousc was MAX
ing a plea fora Senate in which the
lawyers should not have a majority.
but he was chiefly warning the farm
erS against sending such railroad at
torneys who weuld represent the rail
roads instead of the people. There
is need for lawyers-and we have
plenty of them-who will have no
private client to represent. The Hert-
ford Herald truly says:
a lawyer who has the interest of
the people at heart could perhaps do
us more good in the Legislature largely
composed of railway attorneys than
one not a lawyer. But it will require
a wise discrimination in selecting cam
didates."
The people should exercise g., wise
discrimination in selecting candi-
dates and it is not a man's profess
sion but a mans convictions and
his record that should be
considered. No man ought to be Sc
lccted who is retained" etc. by a
railroad. or trust. an insurance com
pany. or any OF interest that the
legislators need = be regulated.
