SAVE THE CHILD
FROM SLAVE PEN
Because Trades nionists Have Advo-
Gated Child Labor. Laws They Have
Been Denounced By the Sou11ess
Corporations.

Is it not the least bit strange
that fullgrown men are to be found
who see no harm in child labor as
an economic advantage? And is
it not little strange that in
Christian land of boosted civi1iza-
ton it is necessary to petition and
beg our lawmakers to safeguard
the youth with laws to protect
them from the rapacious greed of
the great captains of Industry
Because trades unionists are op-
posed to child labor and kindred
evils they have been denounced as
"meddlers' and ssundesirable
citizens" by the divinely appoint
ed and those who stand guard at
the gates of opportunity, and some
of these are professed followers of
Him who specially cared for the
little ones. Men boast of the part
their fathers took in freeing the
black slaves count the cost as of
little moment compared with the,
results achieved, and vet, for
business" reasons, they hesitate
and seek excuses when confronted
with the proposition to rescue the
little pale faces from the blight of
factory and disease breeding
sweat-shops. Save the child!

TECHNICAL
EDUCATION
The International typographical
Union in Van as a Promoter of
the Popular New Idea.

! Technical education has come to
the front as a public question with
great rapidity in the last few years.
Its purpose is to promote indus
trial efficiency, by supplying OPP
portunities for acquiring craft in
formation which it is impossible to
obtain in the workshops of highly
specialized Industries. The In
ternational Typographical Union,
with its membership of nearly
fifty thousand skilled artisans, is
so impressed with the need for
supplemental ed ucation that it has
adopted correspondence course
for the purpose of aiding printers
in acquiring a thorough knowledge
of their craft. Educators interest
ed in industrial training and
others who have examined the
course say the Union has evolved
a system which meets a need in the
industrial world. The course is
intended for those working at the
trade, and many of the lessons are
an exposition of the artistic princi-
pies underlying what we call
'good printing! 1t is in this the
system differs from all previous
efforts to impart craft knowledge
in the printing trade. The lessons,
following the trend of the most
approved educational methods, not
only says what should be done,
but ''why'' it should be done in
that way. The work of students
is criticized by experts, and it is
through these criticisms that the
student acquires the knowledge he
stands in need of. The
course is sold for what approx
cost price, but by system
of awards the Union will give
rebate of from twenty-five to fifty
per cent to students who preserve
and display ordinary intelligence.
The Unions chief desire is to ele-
vate the craft, and it wants every
printer to take advantage of the
Course and address the 1. 7. O.
Commission, 100 Sherman street,
Chicago, Illinois, for details.

served as infantry, the only difference
being it's larger organization. 1t had IL
companies of $50 men each, with a
Captain and four Lieutenants for each
company, forming three battalions with
a Major for each. 1t was commanded
by Cols. James NJ. Warner, of the Regu-

The 57th Mass. was organized at
Worcester and Readville. from Janu-
ary to April, 1864, and mustered out
July 80, 1865. 1t was commanded by
Col. VIM. F. Bartlett until his promo
ton to Brigadier- General. June 20,
1864, and then by Col Napoleon B.
Mclaughlin, of the Regular Army. This
regiment was in active service less than
a year and yet its percentage of killed
was one of the highest of the war.
After leaving the State it went to An
napolis, where it joined the Ninth
Corps, First Brigade, First Division,
and soon after the Army of the Poto-
mac. 1t lost heavily at the Wilderness,
a total Of 245 out of "a officers and
521 men engaged. Col Bartlett was
seriously wounded In this battle. The
regiment made brilliant charge on
Petersburg, carrying the works at the
point of the bayonet. At the battle of
Poplar Spring Church 1t had become so
reduced in numbers that it could only
muster about 20 men. OF total en-
rollment of 1852 1t lost 201 killed and

THE UNwRIrTEN LAW.

There Is no more repulsive survival
of the brutal ages of savagery than the
"unwritten law" which is now being
much in evidence as the pretext for q
brutal murder in New York by an Army
officer. The unwritten law harks back
to the time when women were property,
and men had to defend them by the
zation of the goth century. a woman is
free agent, and her choice of where
she shall settle her affections is a mat
ter of her individual will
No matter what sloppy sentimental
lists may say, and they say tiresome
lot, man who invokes the unwritten
law against an alleged destroyer of his
domestic happiness is not prompted by
love for the woman AS rule, he has
so cruelty outraged her as to destroy all
affection for him before she turned to
another man. He kills from the base
promptings of wounded vanity. He has
the coarse rage Of a beast of the field
against another beast which has proved
more attractive. If a wife has ceased
to love a husband, infinitely the bes,
thing is for them to peaceably separate
and go their several ways. The world
is wide, other associations are plentiful
and there is no justification whatever
for committing murder In the cases
now occupying the center of public in.
terest Capt. Hams is accused of consis-
tent cruelty, even brutality, to his wife
long before the alleged entrance OF the
other man upon the scene. If any part
of what is told is true he had stamped
out of his wife's heart all the love and
esteem that she may have had for him
when she married him. 1t was the
knowledge of this humiliating fac
which stung his low animal vanity tc
the quick, and prompted him to seek g
bloody revenge.
We trust and believe that the New
York jury before which the case will
come will take the view that the act
differs in no particular from any other
brutal, revengeful murder, and that the
man guilty Of 1t has placed himself ir
the worst class of malefactors.

Gettysburg 1t lost seven killed and 81
wounded. In September. 1863, Ii went
to the relief of Chattanooga, taking
part in the battles of Lookout Noun

PoLYGAMY IN UTAH.

The Salt Lake City Tribune does not
believe that polygamy is dead in Utah
by any means. 1t says that there is no
attempt whatever to keep polygamy un-
der cover. and that polygamous living
has been notorious and general among
those who acquired their connections
prior to 1890. Yet there are so many
young women polygamously married
who must have been so since 1890 that
there is no doubt the practice still goes
on In spite of the laws. The Church
denies that it has violated the law at
any time. yet there is evidence against
it which cannot be gainsaid. A promi-
nent citizen of Salt Lake City says that
recently well-lnown man said to him:
Last week we attended a meeting of
Elders in -, and the President called
on all who had polygamous brothers or
sisters to stand up. And am proud to
say that 90 out of the "a present stood
up" continuing as he walked out, Il
hope to see the time when 1 may have
seven wiyes.'

Horoee GreeIey.s Death.

Editor National Tribune: beg leave
to call your attention to a historic error
in your paper of the 18th inst. On the
first page you say, Horace Greeley
died before the election" referring to
the election of 1872. This statement is
not correct, and the votes were not
scattered" as you state. He died Nov.
20 subsequent to the election, and Gen.
Grant, then the President, attended his
funeral AT that time it was generally
understood that his death was precipi-
tated by the crushing defeat he had
suffered at the polls.-Jasper T. Dar-
ling, 70 Dearborn ST., Chicago, Ill.
Our statement as to Herace Greeley's
death was made concise and technical
for the sake of brevity. As legal fact,
while the election for Presidential Elec-
tors took place on the Tuesday evening
following the first Monday in Novem-
ber, the actual election of a President
did not occur until the Electors assem-
bled in their respective State Capitals
on the second Monday of January, when
they voted for President and Vice
President. 1t has been held that the
election is not really consummated un-
til the votes are counted in a conven-
tion of the Senate and House on the
second Wednesday of February.-Ed-
itor National Tribune.

The case of Col. David K. Wardwell
is pathetic.o3 Col Wardwell served in
the Mexican War in the 1st Mass, and
at the beginning or the rebellion he went
to the front in command of Co. F, 5th
NJ. v. NJ. Next he raised and command
ed Co. B, 2ad Mass, and later became
Lieutenant-Colonel of the 3Sth Mass.
While in hospital at Los Angeles some
time ago he. had his fancy captivated
and his sympathfes aroused by a much
younger woman, who was suffering from
leprosy. which Is hereditary in her fam
lily. Despite all opposition he married
her, and thus added immensely to the
troubles of the Los Angeles authorities,
who were trying. to deport her. Finally
he ran away with her to Tombstone,
Ariz., where his troubles were renewed
with the authorities there. He fought
desperately to prevent his wife being
taken away, and finally died from ex-
citement and exhaustion. His wife in
the meanwhile went violeRtly insane,
and had ic be. chained to her bed.
Among other solutions Of the problem
the Arizona authorities considered par
doning the wife's brother out of the
penitentiary on condition that he take
the couple to Mexico and care for them.

STATE REVENUES FROM NATIONAL.
FORESTS.
Several States Are Already Beginning to
Receive Considerable sums

Figures just made public by the For
est Service show that under the new
law requiring % per cent of the gross
proceeds of National forest business to
be paid over to the States and Terri
tories in which the forests are located.
to be used for public schools and roads,
the last fiscal year will yield these
States s447.063.79.
The amounts which go to each vary
from $313.6S for Arkansas to over s75,-
900 for Montana. The small amount
for Arkansas is because the two Ma
tfonal forests in that State were created
SO recently that they have not yet got
fairly under way. Oklahoma. with one
small National forest, receives 1854:
Kansas, s644. and the next smallest
after these Is Nebraska with $3.50.
Since the forests in these last two States
were set aside from land naturally des-
titute of trees, that the Government
might try forest planting on them, it
will probably surprise most people that
they should yield any revenue at all.
National forest business is chiefly of
three kinds, grazing, timber sales and
special uses, the latter comprising the
use of the lesser resources of the for
ests and the permits involving the de-
velopment of water power. 1t is inter-
esting to note the States in which the
kinds of business is done and study the
causes which max e their revenues
correspondingly larger.
Montana, California, and Colorado
lead in timber sales. In the case of
Montana and California this fact is
mainly due to the accessibility of the
timber in the National Forests. The
fact that the timber can be readily
reached and quickly transported to
ar1rz lzaf. nNzI Il 4
which is reflected in the volume of
business. Colorado is almost absolutely
dependent upon the National Forest
timber for its mining operations. Each
of these States will receive over $4,000
from the proceeds of the Forests.
Idaho, Utah, and Oregon head the
list of the States in grazing business.
The causes in this case are several In
the first place, these States are supplied
with more abundant forage, largely on
account of more plentiful precipitation.
In some cases the ranges will support a
sheep to the acre, whereas the ranges
elsewhere will often support no more
than one sheep to from four to six
acres. Again, the grazing methods are,
as a rule, more intensive in these
States. a higher class of herders is en-
ployed and a better grade of stock is
kept Management, moreover, is more
intensive Sheep are handled in small
bands. and the herders in running them
are able to keep them in scattered or
der, so that they do not do so much
damage to the range as does the large
band, which can be controlled only
when closely herded. Idaho's share of
the receipt is over $56,000.
California leads in special use busi-
ness, partly because of the large
amount of water power developed and
partly because of the larger population
adjacent to the forests and drawing
upon their resources. The State will
receive as its share of the National
Forest proceeds about $50, 900.

The National Model License League
has issued a bold challenge to the Anti
Saloon League to have its books exam
ined. 1t charges that the Anti-Saloon
League is a distinctly money-making
organization, with its principal men rap
idly gaining wealth. 1t pays COM
mission on collections from churches
and other organizations, furnishes
speakers at $50 day. and is generally
conducted on business principles. There
may be very good reason for the Anti
Saloon League declining publicity as to
its management, and then again the Ma
tional Model License League may not
be worth paying much attention to.
