FACTS ABOUT CHILD LABOR
Indiana Senator's Statements Con-
trRsted with Census ONCE
Statistics.

| In his recent speech on child labor Sen
ator Beveridge said: Certainly hundreds
of thousands and more probably over 1,0O0,-
900 children are even now either being
killed or utterly destroyed for that citizen
ship on which this free nation alone de-
ponds"
All the support he produced for this ter
rible reflection upon American parents was
contained in the statement on the authority
of the census that nearly 100000 children
are now at work and of these almost 1000
are engaged in work other than agriculture,
To this statement he added: Child labor on
the farm is good. Tho bill does not strike
at that. 1t strikes only at child labor in
the factories, sweatshops and mines"
! This implies that nearly 100000 are en-
ployed in those deadly places, and even
that number is more than 100000 short Of
I the million and more that the senator said
were probably being killed or utterly de-
stroyed there.
The day after Mr. Beveridge made his
/ speech the census bureau issued a bulletin
showing that in 1900 the number of children
employed as "breadwlnners'' in this coun-
/ try was 10000 round figures. OF these
1,O54.OO0 were at work on farms, 13sOOO were
/ in domestic service and 1000 were mes
sengor, errand and Office boys.
| If teamwork is good for children GER
tainly domestic service for girls and mes
! senger and like service for boys can hardly
/ he utterly destructive OF their bodies and
souls. II appears, therefore that at least
| 1,264,OOO of these breadwlnning children were
employed in ways likely to do them more
good than harm.
! This reduces the number otherwise en-
ployed to $4,000. Here the synopsis Of the
bulletin telegraphed from Washington
leaves much to be desired. But It gives
enough facts TO indicate that not very many
of these are employed in the deadly places.
Among the worst of those places, accord
ing to Mr.. Beveridge are cotton factories
AS to them the bulletin says that they
furnish employment to children to a greater
! extent than any other manufacturing OF
mechanical industry And It states the num-
Der of children employed In those factories
at A, i27. This is for the whole country
and the complaint has been almost entirely
OF conditions in southern mills
Next we find under the head Of textile
workers or the needle trades" 5000 Their
there are II, 1852 in tobacco factories and $685.
in giassworks As the cotton mills employ
more than any other manufacturing or me-
chancal industries and as the needle
trades" undoubtedly include 'sweatshops
we have to conclude that 900 would be a
high figure for the number employed in
child killing factories.
The synopsis says nothing about the
children employed about mines, but II is
safe to say that the number is small.
Probably not 100000 all told are employed
in the factories, sweatshops and mines
at which the Beveridge bill strikes. Prob
ably too not one-fourth Of these work un-
der killing or destructive conditions. And
so the senator's million or more drop out OF
sight In the light of facts like Falstan &
men in buckram.-Chicago Chronicle.

PoRCUPINE GOES TO SCHOOL
Has Rumpus with GrOundhog, who
Throws Him ont of His
Happy Home.

When Jantor Thomas Hamlln of the
Leavenworth street public school reached
his post of duty at $50 Friday morning he
found visitor whose name was not en-
rolled on the school roster meekly sitting
on the front steps. The stranger was a
porcupine with his quilts at tangent all
ready for any familiarity the janitor might
show. But 1t happened that Mr.. Hamlin
was not familiar with porcupines so he
made haste slowly by driving the little
fellow to the back of the school. finally
getting him into the furnace room.
once in the furnace room Mr.. Porcupine
took a survey of the heating apparatus OF
a modern school building and then huddled
up in corner and bllnked his eyes. Like
Mary's historic mutton, which was rec
orded as having accompanied Mary TO a
certain seat of learning, the porcupine made
the pupils laugh and play" The kinder
garten class was highly amused when its
teacher told them porcupne had come
to the school and was waiting on the front
steps at $50 a. M for school to open.
MY children. you could all take a lesson
from the porcupine by being on time to
school," the kind teacher said.
Superintendent Adams of the park board
was notified but he said there were no
porcupines to his knowledge In any OF
the Omaha parks. Mr.. Hamlin offered to
give the animal to the park board, unless
some rightful claimant calls for the fussy
little animal.
It was reported Friday morning that this
porcupine and the groundhog-the one
which saw his shadow February 2-have
been alternating together during the win
ter and had a rumpus Thursday night
over the question of whether there would
be six weeks more winter or not 1t is
believed the grounding took the law in
his own hands and threw the porcupine
over the transom.
