CHILD SLAVERY
MUST Be STOPPED

State Teachers association here last
night, speaking on Schools and the
Nation. He was introduced by Wit

Nothing" said Senator beveridge
shows how greed forgets humanity
as much as the child slavery in GER
tain sections of this country. There
Is something wrong with prosperity
which is so immense that it finally
comes to feed upon the lives of lit
tie children. Men who make money
by working infants are making too
much money. There are, at low es.
innate, half million children under
IA years of age at work in cotton
mills, glass factories, sweat shops,
mines and other like industries.
Those whom such toll does not kill
are being literally ruined for citizen
ship. We are turning out, at low
estimate, two hundred thousand adult
London Hooligans every year, and
these become in turn the parents OF
hundreds of thousands of other de-
generates. And so this civic pestil.
ence riots and spreads.
1T has got to be stopped-if not for
the sake of these children them
selves, then for our own sake, If not
for the sake of common humanity,
then for the sake of the republics

citizenship. We cannot SOW the wind

THE PROGRESS OF THE CANA
DIAN WEST.
Nearly 100000 of an Increase in
Canadian hmm gratiOn in 1906.

Nearly 100000 of an Increase in
Canadian Immigration in 1906.
The progress of a new country cannot
be better ascertained than by noting
the increase of railroad mileage in it's
transportation system, and judged by
this standard, the Canadian West leads
all the countries in the world during
the current year. Thirty years ago
there was not one hundred miles of
railroad west of the Great Lakes, and
very little prospect of a transconti-
mental route for many years to come,
but by the end of 1885 the Canadian
Pacific Railway was within measurable
distance of completion, and last year,
twenty years later, fully 5000 miles Of
railroad traversed the provinces Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
In the past year the work of railroad
construction has been vigorously prose-
cuted, and by the end Of 1906, some
1900 miles of completed railroad has
been added, making a total of fully
1900 miles in the three great grain
producing provinces of Canada. Such
an increase in the transportation facili-
ties OF the country is bound to make
good times not only in the districts
where the railroads are being built,
but throughout the entire west. Allow
ing $4,000 a mile for construction, the
sum of $100,0O00O0 will be put in cir
culation, and this in Itself should cause
good times to prevail in land where
work is plentiful, wages are high, and
the cost of living is moderate.
But the building of lew railroads
through Western Canada means
greater benefit to the country than
merely the money put in circulation by
the cost of construction. Additional
railway building means the Opening of
new agricultural districts and an addi-
tonal area under crop, largely in
creased output of grain to foreign mar
kets with consequent financial returns:
the erection of elevators and the growth
OF villages, towns and cities; and every
'o N'S@ mat hdhtS lOF the progress
of national life and the opening nm Of
additional thousands of free home
steads so extensively advertised by the

dress appears elsewhere.
1t was stated on the floor OF the
Canadian Parliament recently by
prominent representative hat ten years
from now would see the bulk Ct the
population of Canada residing west or
the Great Lakes, and if the work OF
railway building during the present
year is any criterion, the pronbacv

Prussian Business Threatened.

The ''Prussian loan" matter was de-
veloped during the Armstrong inves-
tigation. Some years ago the Prus-
sian government adopted law which
excluded American insurance COM
panies from doing business in that
country. The American Lif Insur-
ance companies were doing an extens-
i've business in Prussia at the time
and the law was a serious bdow to
them. They at once made an effort
to reestablish themselves by comply
ing with the new law. AS a result
of their efforts Prussian commits
sion was appointed and came to this
country to investigate various COM
panies wishing to resume business in
Prussia. Among these was the New
York Life. The commission re-
turned to Prussia with the recommen-
dation that the companies be again
permitted to write insurance upon
compliance with a demand that they
should sell any and all stocks held by
them as securities It being a funda,
mental principle and theory of the
Prussian law that no insurance com.
pany should accept or hold as collat-
eral any stock. no matter how well it
might be secured. Only bonds were
permissible

dictments presentment in which
the jurors placed themselves on re-

Perkins and Fairchild were "infiu-
