THE COMING ELECTION.
The coming election of delegates

run away with their better judgment

LAWS RELATING TO WOMAN
AND CHILD LABOR AND TO
FACTORY INSPECTION.

Bulletin No e, of the Bureau OF
Labor, of the Department OF Com
merce and Labor, just issued, gives in
full the text of the laws which had
been enacted up to the end of 1907
for the purpose of regulating the
employment of women and children.

lating to factory inspection and the
health and safety of employees. These
laws are annotated with brief refer
ences to such decisions of the courts
as have been rendered in regard to
the provisions of these laws during
the short period they have been in
effect.
The two classes of laws contained
in this bulletin are closely related
the increased employment OF women
and children in recent years having
led to the enactment into law OF
many special provisions designed tc
safeguard the health and safety ot
EMPLOYEES. Both subjects are among
those most often before the Legis

ing in discussing the shooting with

the Negro was a dangerous character
with bad court record"
Mr. Heflin today gave out copies
of some of the threatening letters he
said he had received following his
proposal to provide for Jim Crow"
cars in the District, and which led
him to secure permission to go armed.
Following is one of these letters:
Prepare to meet your God; go
guarded night and day from now on
until your death. Fear and tremble /!
There is not a step between you and
death. Vile wretch, every person
who fears God and lSves justice is
against you because you would add
to the already unjustiy oppressed. Go
guarded and Tsll armed. Patience
has ceased to be y virtue The South
is the property of the colored man"
Here's part of another letter:
Let you and your friends some
fine afternoon in a crowded car arise
and give a bevy of colored ladies
your seats, not forgetting to proclaim
who you are, and if there should be
any colored gent in the car he will
follow your magnanimous example. "
"Jnm CrO7g" amendment.
Mr.. Hefin introduced his Jim
Crow" amendment to the Union Sta
ton Trackage bill and made a speech
in support of the measure. On the
next day, the 23d of February, he re-
ceivcd the following letter:
"As assuredly as you attempt to

GOOD DONE BY CONVENTION
DR.. Van Schaick Points Lesson of
Young Peoples Meeting.
Draws Moral from Cordial Welcome
Other Denominations.

Great is the Lord and greatly 10 be
praised is the city OF our Lord" was the
subject of the sermon delivered at the.
Church OF Our Father. Thirteenth and L
streets northwest. yesterday. by Rev.
John Van Schaick, pastor
The clergyman confined his remarks
chiefly 90 the influence for good oXerted
oy the recent convention Of the Young
Peoples Christian Union Of the Tniver-
salst Church. Mr. Van Schaick said. in
part:
More than all things else the recent
convention OF the Uuiversalist young peo-
pie impressed upon us the fact that We
are organized for the service Of human
ity Pleasure is legitimate. Business is
important But neither the pursuit OF
pleasure nor the transaction OF business
lustlfies our existence II We do not serve
our fellows.
The convention itself was Ike a great
generator OF power. Through prayer.
song. and inspiring speech; by devotional
meetings. business sessions. and through
the association Of the delegates with one
another, spiritual power was let loose.
That power Is to be taken and used iu all
parts Of our country n the convention is
to do It's perfect work.
IN our service II IS Joy 20 remember
that We are free church. Through the
great days Of our gathering. this fact
stood out again and again. As q people
we have nothing 70 fear from the growth
of knowledge and the advance Of science.
We are not committed 10 doglnas we are
unwilling 70 change. The great central
fact Of the Divine Fatherhood only
shines out clearer with the progress OF
the world Heresy among us has TO DO
not with a creed. but with the uncleau
hand. the impure heart. the unworthy
life
in the way IN which the convention
was welcomed i'm Washington. We get a
glimpse Of the beauty Of that larger fel-
lowship which overseps the boundaries
Of sects and breeds, and binds earnest
souls together the whole world over.
In many OF the older churches our
ministers were received one week ago.
Not as a sign that these churches be-
lieve entirely as we do Not because the
ministers arc disloyal to their convictions.
But because Methodist apd Baptist and
Lutheran and Congregational and Chris
/ tian and Presbyterian understand one
another better. Because there is n grovEh
| not only OF tolerance. but Of sympathy
among all the churches. Because We are
coming 70 see that the things which unite
us are vastly more important than the
things which divide US.

the theme OF ID lecture given yesterday
afternoon at eC9 East Capitol street by

Mr.. Eecley said that this is an age of
bold brave inquiry, and that people are
asking more a1d more daring questions
than AT any former time. and that they
are getting larger. fuller. and more salts

Life is a mystery said the lecturer.
But what is a mystery? 4 mystery is
that about which We know something
and may know more. and sometime know
everything one mystery mastered may
muster in another. but that is part OF the
JOYS Of life. The ever unfolding newneSs
is ljfe's real gladness.
Growth in these graCes awakens in Us
the very God life OF the universe. We
become aware that we are part OF the
universal life-a life Of love. This change
is greater than a change from the moon
light Of midnight to the sunshine Of noon
day. We are at once conscious that nc
life is lost. and no life need linger in
darkness or pine in decay. This new idea
leaves no place for the sorrow and the
sigh that sings I would not live Away "
