THE CHILD LABOR EVIL.
Row. Or. Berle Urges Effective Laws
10 Prevent Race Degeneration.

TO Prevent Race Degeneration.
"The employment Of children In this
country has reached proportions which
make the subject fairly one Of national
danger" declared the Rev. DR.. A. A.
Berle, pastor Of the Cromhie Street
Congregational church, Salem, Mass,
In recent sermon on child labor.
DR.. BerIe claimed that he growth
and extension Of the evil is one of the
phases OF our industrial development
and shows what the corporate spiEit
will do. He urged effective laws and
heavy penalties to prevent child labor,
which. be said, would foist degener-
ate race into the body polite.
"Child labor" said DR.. Berle, sis en-
ployed for one reason and one reason
only, and that is It is cheap labor and
labor that is always passive and unre-
sisting. Cheap labor is not 10 be de-
spised, and nobody can object to the
lessening Of the cost Of any product,
though lowering cost at the expense OF
the labor employed is usually the most
destructive and deceptive fact In in.
dustrial life. With all our boastlng
and Dragging about protection in tAis
country, the one thing apparently ev-
erybody believes ia is free labor. Not
until the trades unions were organized
for mutual assistance and helpfulness
did anybody seem to recognize that
the protective idea was applied TO ey-
erything except the thing that needed
It most namely. human labor. Happily
that idea has passed away, and strong
labor organization meets more even
terms.
lit was and is naturally temptation
to many poor people to make their
children productive In this way as
early as possible, but it Is a tempta-
ton which should be prevented ana
should be removed by the strong hand
OF law with vigorous and effective
penalties attached Most Of the chill
dren thus employed come into matur-
ity physically MANNED, mentally stunt
ed and II they are Of productive stock
generate wretched race which fills
asylums and pauper establishments
and fills the ranks OF the criminals Of
every class because physically unable
to resist the attacks Of the world
men should and always viii buy as
cheaply as they can. But life Is too
valuable, and every consideration of
humanity and religion must drive this
vile form Of commercialism out Of our
industrial system. Here again it will
he the Christian motive that will fur
nish the driving power. IL anything
does, to get the remedy. To view
child labor merely from the economic
standpoint alone win not bring the re-
suit"

TRANSFERS OF THE WEEK

what a scramble there will be be-
tween the first and twenty-nfth of
March," was the way one real estate
man expressed himself to-day when
discussing the scarcity OF houses in
this city at the present time. And II
present conditions are any indication
OF what is to come Il is the general
opinion that he is correct In fact the
scramble is already beginning and
the real estate agents are kept busy
every day telling people they have no
small houses for rent.
II anyone is in the market 10 make
a purchase he can easily enough be ac-
commodated, but when it comes to rent
ing house it is another question. As
matter OF fact there are few houses
OF any description for rent. Even the
larger houses. ranging in price from
twenty TO fifty dollars. are scarce and
IL is needless to say the smaller houses
are entirely IN the background.
A favorite practice now Is TO rent a
big house for soriy or fifty dollars and
then to subrent the several rooms or
floors to various families There are
more houses divided in this way in
Wilmington at the present than ever
before and the number Is being in
creased every day. 1t IS impossible
under the conditions that exist now to
house separately all the families who
want homes OF their own and the real
estate men are puzzled to know just
what is going to happen on moving day
when there win be more people COM
ing into the city and few leaving.

INITIATIVE WOMAN.
A Cynical English view of Feminine
Human Nature.

A Cynical English view of Feminine
Human Nature.
Decidedly women are an initiative
class. From her earliest age the small
girl apes the doings Of her elders and.
had she her own way, would be a mini
ature epltome Of fashion. Such enter
tainments as she is permitted to wit
ness In her mothers drawing room she
initiates, with dolls and nurses for com
pany, In the nursery. In her school
days she invariably forms" herself
on some special friend whom she elects
as a model Of feminine perfection And
at certain stage of their lives girls
are as much alike as peas In a pod.
As they mature and develop they may
perhaps show some signs Of Individual
ity, but IN all the main issues Of life
they continue to be more initiative than
original.
Fashions. housekeeping and enter
tanning are all more or less conducted
on the same lines. and the only true
sign Of friendship that is shown TO the
young married woman is TO beg her to
order her life and her home on her
friends principles. Any departure from
those principles or any symptom Of in
dlvidual taste or strength Of mind will
sound the first challenge Of unpopulari-
ty for the budding matron. Her moth
er and her mothers. friends will alike
desire imitation Of their methods as
the "sincerest form Of hattery," and
every decline from the original system
will be pronounced wrong or injudi'
cious.-Rita in London Mail.
