AMERICAN PATRIOTISM FERVENT.
By Gov. Hughes

The same patriotic ardor fills the
breast of American youth as when
they rushed from field and factory
and college in obedience to their coun-
try's summons. The wives and moth
ers Of America are as loving, as de-
voted, as ready to sacrifice and suf-
fer, as were those of forty-odd years
ago.
The men Of the United States are
as quick to respond to the call of
duty, as keen, as resourceful, as val
liant, as those Of our heroic past. They
are blessed with the memory of their
fathers labors: they are enriched
with lessons Of their zeal; they are

that even now we are only at the beginning

difficulties greater than those we have sur

Uniform Labor Laws for South.

At the recommends ton of Gov. Patter-
son of Tennessee. the Legislature OF that
State at its last session passed a child
labor law very much in advance of any
thing in force in the South. This law
aroused considerable criticism on the part
of those who feared that such humani-
tartan legislation would injure the indus
trial interests Of the State. This has led
to call by Gov. Patterson for an inter
state child labor meeting to consider the
possibility of reaching au understanding
among the southern commonwealths. The
issue raised IS whether Tennessee shall
lower its provisions to the grade of other
States or whether the other States shall
raise their age and educational standards.

If the question were put loud
enough for all white men to hear,
and if they could vote so loud that
they might be heard: "All in favor
of reducing the 100000 negro major
ity in South Carolina will vote
'aye,'" there would be an almost
unanimous "aye."
But how is it to be done? Kill
them off? No; the law and humanity
forbid that. Run them out Of the
state? The law provides a big fine
for any one who tries to persuade
them to leave. Natural increase Of
population will not do it. but rather
makes matters worse and worse.
There iS only one way; that is to
induce white people to come here
from other sections Of this country
and from the old country. That IS
whv Immigration is advocated.
Nobody is advocating "undesir-
able" immigrants either-which re-
minds US of an incident that hap
uened at an evangelistic' meeting
down near Trenton some years ago.
The evangelist. as the custom IS,
was making divers ''propositions. -
At last he said: "Let all who want
to 90 to heaven stand up"
This was too much for a good Old
steward of the church, Who was al
ready tired of so much bobbing up
and down. and he rose from MS seat
and made this proposition: "NoW
if there is anybody here who wants
to 60 to hell let him stand up, III
like to see him" "
But nobody stood up.

Jake Scherer and Florence Hart
unan, aged 9, are the best playmates
and friends ever They have. lived
for several years in an apartment
house at 49 East One Hundred and
,Forty-ninth Street. and each to the
other is the sum Of perfection.
J.: Jake and Florence didn't seem to
pybe with the rest Of the youngsters
in their block yesterday afternoon
anl went off to take a long walk.
Jake suggested Macorb's Dam Riv-
er Park as fine place for ramble.
Florence said that suited her, so
AWAY the two little folk went.
Florence has that in her soul which
is characteristic Of most women-a
love for green things and for danger
when somebody stronger is at hand.
She spied some beautiful ferns
growing On the edge of the creek in
the park and wanted them because
they were out Of her reach. Jake
stood by, warning her to be. careful.
If she would only return to safe
ground he would pluck them green
things for her, even if he had to
swim to get them. !.
Florence answered Jake with
laugh. "There IS no danger.' she
said.
The next instant Florence lost her
balance and was screaming for help
in the sweeping current Of the creek.
Jake tossed off his cap and jacket
and took a "neader." " He came up
beside Florence, pulled her over on
her back and kicked out for the
shore.
The boy got the girl out of the
water safely just as Sergeant Mick
ey. of the High Bridge Police Sta
ton. came to the rescue.
NO, you can't do anything, said
the boy to the policeman. and turn
ing to the girl, he added: "Come,
along. Flolie. and let's get some dry
duds.''

frightened and ran away, over
turning the buggy and throwing
Mrs. Rinehart out, dislocating
her shoulder and otherwise bruis-

cause of the runaway was that
one of the horses was kicking

Tom Mcconnell, a sheep herd
er. was shot and instantly killed
by Thomas Hale a gambler, at
Shaniko early Monday Morning.
From all accounts 1t seems that
the killing Of Mcconnell was en-
tirely unprovoked. The men
were strangers to each other and
both were intoxicated. They
entered the Coulumbia Southern
hotel and Hale flourished a gun
in such a threatening manner
that the bar keeper went outside
to call the marshal. When he
returned with the officer, Hale
came out of the barroom with the
smoking revolver in his hand
and offered no resistance when
placed under arrest being appar-
emily too drunk to realize what
had happened. Mcconnell lay
on the floor dead, having been
shot three times. A coroner's
inquest was held and Hale was
charged with the crime of mur-
der and taken to The Dalles by
Marshal Reader. Hale declares
that he does not even know the
name of the man he shot and had
never seen him before. There
were no eye witnesses.
