CHILD LAW IS WEAK
Professor Loos Says Labor Stat
ute is Indefinite as to Proof
of Age
Parents and Children Sometimes In
cIined to Prevaricate in Order to
Keep Youths Employed Instead of in
SchooI-untruths Thus Protect EN-
pIoyer.
Special to Tlmes-Republican.

| Des Moines. Sept 30.-Thc report OF
Dor committee. to the national COM
mittec. just issued, states that the one
weakness in the Iowa child labor law
is the insufficiency of proof as to the
age Of child and it is understood
that the next legislature will be
asked to strengthen the law in that re-
spect. The report states that while
the weakness was known before the
| last legislature met ii was thought best
the law was new and it was thought
best that it have Il thorough trial first.
| The question as to the age of a
child is the one recognized difficulty
in every state according to those hay
| ing information on the subject 1t is
difficut for the factory inspector to
tell whether the child is telling the
truth or not and parents otherwise
very truthful think it no crime at all
to instruct their child to say that it
is two or three years older than it is.
Wher u factory inspector enters Il
factory he is absolutely certain to find
that every child there is over 16 years
old--according to the word of the child
and the word of it's parents as well.
The factory owner falls back on the
word of the child and the word
of it's parents and otherwise
truthful parents will not hesitate
at times to make sworn affidavits to
false age as to their children. The
law becomes thus sort of immunity
bath for the factory operator. He re-
fers 10 the statement of the child or It's
parents and that relieves him.
Factory inspectors become trained to
be pretty good guessers on the age of
children. They resort TO the records
on file with the city clerks and often
are able to find the real age OF the
child in that way Practically all OF
the prosecutions brought have to be
based on some such information as
that In some states resort has been
had 10 provision of law that requires
a certificate from the city clerk or 9th
er official with whom the birth statis-
tics are filed. This would still be i'm
munity for the factory operator but it
would be quite likely to be accurate.
With law requiring that every birth
be filed With the city or township
clerk and a further law requiring that
before child can work in factory
there must be filed certificate from
the clerk giving the age it its birth
the work of the factory inspector
would be much easier and it would be
possible to guard against children
working in violation of the age pro-

Brother Councillors Greeting: Thru

have been honored by being elected as

mo doubt you expect much to be
accomplished during this year, and you
have a right to expect much, but allow
me to impress upon your minds that
the result of this years work will de-
pend more on the cooperation of each
individual member than any other
cause
ut is my desire that this grand juris-
hiction show a net gain of at least 500
during my occupancy of office. | be-
lieve we can do this if we all get to
work and each council in Iowa make a
special effort. | am Very anxious to see
Iowa advance in rank with our sister
states. II each member will exercise
individual effort to bring one new
member we will have accomplished
our desire. But be consistent with the
thought constantly in mind that while
we strive for numerical strength We
must more desire the sterling qualities
of true manhood And then one of
the most important things is not to
lose sight of our beautiful ritual initia-
tion: make it as impressive as possible
upon the candidate. I sometimes fear
that the reason of so many suspen-
Sions among our numbers is that they
have not been received in due form:
that they have not been led to SINGER
ity in assuming Our obligation. There
fore, as your grand counselor. allow me
to insist that all candidates must be
initiated according to ritual
Then. brethren. may we strive to
maintain unity. one Of the strong pill
lars of our order. May we ever ex-
ercise the noble virtue of charity to-
ward one another. and in the spirit Of
the gentle Nazarene let us cast our in
tluence for temperance, the greatest
safeguard to weak humanity.
"It is needless for me to say that in
the u. c. T. we have the best and only
fraternal order for travelling men. 1t is
the only secret order in the world made
up exclusively of members of one pro-
fession. Let us talk this little more
as we go about our territory. Tell the
prospective members of the splendid
work that has been and is being done
by our order.
80, boys, LET us all heartily join in
and lift together as we have never done
before. Keep on and then keep on
keeping on AS your grand counselor
I purpose to visit all the councils in
the state during the year I am ready
to assist anyone to the best of my abil-
ity. I will endeavor to show fairness
at all times in my official capacity"

 Lieutenant Colonel A. O. Brodie, the present adjutant general of the depart ment of Dakota, is an officer with q record which reflects nothing but credit upon himself both in the military ser vice and public life. A graduate of West Point, he resigned his commission after few years during which he saw much frontier service. At the out break of the Spanish-American war, Colonel Brodie again entered the service as senior major of the rough riders. From 1902 until 1906, Colonel Brodie was the governor of the territory of Arizona. On February 24, 1905, he again entered the military service, ac- cepting a commission in the regular army. Colonel Brodie will retire on ac- count of age six years from yesterday.

FLOWERS FOR THE FAIR

The United States grand jury at Prescott convened and adjourned with. out returning an indictment and Unit. ed States Attorney Alexander told Prescott that "its citizens are to be congratulated on the absence of crime. '' The captain attributes the unprecedent- ed occurrence first, to the high class of citizenship of northern Arizona and. second, to the rapid and uncompromis- ing prosecution of those accused of crime since my administration. Biff! Bang! Bouquets! But we rejoice in the modesty of the intrepid captain in tossing flowers to the people of northern Arizona first before smothering himself under the sweet smelling petals. Such overwhelming modesty, especially in a federal official, makes even the shy shrinking violet look like a brazen- faced sunfower.
 But it must be remembered that only a few forms of crime are prosecuted by the government even in territory, all of them being for violation of federal statutes, and as to the high class of citizenship in northern Arizona-and this is said without in any manner wish ing to convey a knock--it will be re- called that it is the "high class citi zen" of this country against whom federal prosecutions are being directed at the present time.
