From the British Medical Journal.
How grave a national risk defective teeth
may become was sufficiently evidenced by
the enormous wastage during the South

due a large proportion. II not the majority.

CHILD LABOR
 LAW IS STRICT

An amendment to the school laws of the territory made by the last leg
 islature makes it compulsory for all children between the ages of and IA years to attend school for at least six months of the year. instead Of twelve weeks, as heretofore, six weeks Iof which must be consecutive, as | formerly provided. It also provided that children shall enter school with
 in two weeks after the opening of the school year, while the old law made
 no provision as to the time Of enter ! ing.
 It is also made a misdemeanOr. pun | ishable by a fine of not less than $25
 nor more than $100. for any person company or corporation to employ a
 child under IA years of age. during the school hours of any school day. in
 the school term of the public school in the district where such child resides.
 unless such child has been excused
 from attendance as provided in the statute
 Another provision makes it compul sory for every parent or guardian hay | ing control of any child between the ages of and 14 years. or any chiJS ! of the age of IA, and under 16, unable | to read and write the English. Ian guags to send such child to a public or private school for at least six
 months in the year, of which twenty school weeks shall be consecutive, un- | less such child be instructed at home | by a competent tutor, in the branches taught in the primary and grammar
 -grades, unless such child has already
 completed the grammar course as pre-
 scribed by the territorial board of education.
 School age is fixed at between 6
 and 21 years, and the law gives power
 to the school trustees of a school dis | trict to admit children of non-resi- dents of the territory to the school fupon the payment of a reasonable tu- ition fee, to be fixed by the board. Trustees are also granted power to
 exclude children of filthy and vicious habits or those suffering from con | tagious or infectious diseases.

WE ARE FIGHTING FOR
 HIGHER STANDARDS
(Continued from First Page.)

Continued from First Page.) called sharply by testimonr before the interstate commerce commission re- garding organization of the Chicago & Alton.
 Forty years ago, when the man. agement of the Erie and Union Pacific attracted much attention, the things done by the corporation managers were so much worse that the Chi cago & Alton affair would not have re- ceived any notice at all. Since then 8 higher standard has been asserting itself. It is perfectly safe to assert that the standard of probity and fidel- ity among the corporation managers of the country is higher now than it has ever been before.
 Prosecutions against land thieves in the west have awakened intense indignation among the defendants and their friends because the wrong was so ihveterate they had come to look upon 1t as right. When officers of the law presented the novel idea that it was as dishonest to deprive the gov ernment of land illegally as to de prive individuals it seemed cruel in justice There is simply little ad- vance in the moral standard which gave life to laws that had been dead before
 Facilities of transportation, which enable business to spread over a great expanse of territory. made it possible for so-caIled trusts and combinations to be made for the purpose of driving out competitors, restricting prOduc- tion and increasing prices.
 "On the other hand. labor organiza- tions. designed for the just purpose of securing fair treatment in wages, hours and conditions, are on their part endeayoring to put up prices, restrict production and drive out competition by stringent rules, which prohibit a member from doing more than a specified amount of work each day, under penalty of expulsion, which prohibit employment of any one not member of the union under penalty of strike.

GIRL GOT TIRED
 WAITING FOR HIM

NEW YORK, May 22.-When Jas Carter was sent to Clinton prison if teen years ago he was a strapping, prepossessing young fellow of 25. But he was a burglar. He had been caught with the goods" and so he had to go behind the bars.
 It was a bong sentence, but the un' fortunate fellow was buoyed up by the promise of pretty girl who lived in South Brooklyn, and who told him when he was convicted that she would be true to him and would mar " him when he came back, provided he would lead a different life. He said he would. and served his sent ence uncumpfainingiy. He came out of prison forty years old, gray and friendless, but still buoyed up by the hope of matrimonial happiness. He began to search for, his fiancee, and finally found her. She was a sober faced woman, and she told him she had fallen in love with another man and was about to be married to him.
 You promised to wait for me-" the poor fellow said -
 .I know, and I did wait for years, but it got too lonesome" she answer Cu. l dAh SOllS buI AI 40 NOS AN"NN now. My wedding dress is aII maoe-,
 Well" replied the ex-convict at last, q suppose I will have to give it up, but tet me look at your we'd ding dress
 His former fiancee acquiesced and took him into the house. Once in side the broken-hearted, prematurely old man flew into a rage, tore the wedding dress to shreds, broke the furniture, and proceeded to make the house 8 wreck. Then he took HIS ue- parture.. saying he would return and finish the job.
 The frightened woman sought the police. and as a result Carter was picked up and was in line in the Brooklyn detective department today for inspection for the squad. Cap tain McCIoskey told the squad to ar rest him whenever they set eyes on him. as he was a desperate crook who would shoot.
 When Carter was subsequently ar raigned in the police court on charge of vagrancy he drew out s2 bill as proof that he had visible means of support. The name of the woman to whom he was engaged was not divulged by the police.

NEW YORK. May The Ma tional Association of manufacturers went on record today as in favor of revision of the taris at the earli- est opportunity, and the negotiation of more reciprocity treaties.

 SWindie Alleged.
 In this case he and two other men, one of whom is named Benson, are al legged to have sold to a negro of the name of Brown several lots, to which, 1t is claimed they did not even have a fictitious title. The consideration was $500. The. sum of $100 was paid in cash by the negro and the unacknowl- edged papers were placed in escrow in the First National bank. The negro made payments on the lots until the sum of s550 had been paid.
 Later it developed that the lots sold the negro were the property of the International Land and Improve ment company. This c1me aboHt when the lots in question were sold by that company to E. A. Won ArHim. The negro then heard of the transaction and engaged Judge Wright to look in to the matter. The result was the arrest of Clapp on the charge of fraud
 ulentiy obtaining $100. It being a misdemeanor case and the negro Brown being prevailed npon to let the case drop, upon Clapp refunding the money. arrangements were made by
 which the money in escrow was re- paid to Brown and Clapp gave his
 note for the $100 which had been re- ceived in cash. The prosecution was then dropped.
 J. E. Hall and son, who Saturday acquired the business of Clapp, are much chagrined at what has occurred. l We had good reports of Clapp and had no reason to suspect that his af- fairs were not in good shape We
 bought the business in good faith and shall continue to conduct il"
 Concerted Action Probable. With the exception of the Genardini
 check for $45 Clapp's affairs at the
 First National bank are clear. He left
 a small balance there.
 | Whether az effort will be made to
 bring Clapp back to Douglas to an
 swer to criminal charge or whether
 other means will be adopted has not yet been determined by the creditors | It Is likely they will have a meeting and probably engage an attorney tc
 represent them. Clapp may be ar rested or pressure may be brought up on his people to settle his affairs. His
 mother lives in Memphis, Tenn, and
 is said to be in affluent circumstances
 She has responded to his requests fol financial assistance a number of times Clapp has gambled more or less consistently since he came to Douglas on the wheel before 1t was abolished
