NOT disbursed to adult labor, the sum
of $4,000. 900 per week. This is figured
on a supposition that the average adult
wage paid weekly throughout the United
States is about $40. 1t may be a trifie
less. 1t is not more. Now, we pray
you, appreciate the fact that cheap
Juvenile labor means a double economy
to capital. The two million working
children earn $6,o00000 per week. They
take the place OF one million working
adults who would receive at least $l0,-
COO 900 per week. More hands" and Il
smaller wage roll-that is what child
labor means to the employer-more pro-
ductivity at less expense.
That, then, is the cause of child
labor, as far as the employer is con-
cerned. He is looking out for No. L.
Frequently parents cannot get employ
ment, and their children go to work.
Cheap children are preferred over
parents who would earn a full wage
because children represent equal pro-
ductivity for less money. We are al
ready finding out what child labor
means" and are reaping the first fruits
of folly. Child labor means ignorance,
llliteracy, lack of Americanism, readi-
ness to respond to any manner of law
lessness that may pretend successfully
to be pioneer of emancipation" In
what direction does it lead? 1t is lead
ing the republic away from first prin-
ciples The people, in Biblical phrase,
"are destroyed for lack of knowledge
1t will be a great day for the United
States when child labor is abolished
and the great army of immature wage
carriers marches back to school.

ANGELES MORNING. FEBRUARY 25 1908
WELCOME, coLoNIsTsl

III HE annual colonist swarm is about
to leave the old, frosted hive and
fly on gladstone wing to the land
of sunshine and flowers. Once more
Los Angeles prepares to meet and greet
the bees that will make honey for
themselves, and for her. She greets
the colonists with unaffected joy. She
knows that California will suit them.
She knows that this years colonist is
next years Californian. She does not
wish to restrict immigration, when it
is from the United States and can talk
without the aid of an interpreter. The
colonist rush is now a steady annual
event. The railroads know when to
expect it, and make preparations for it.
They aid it by granting colonist rates.
These rates will become effective on
Sunday, March 1. and the rush will
begin Immediately. Although this
years rate has been raised IS. that
won't make any difference. When
man is determined to come to Cali
fornia a IS bill won't stop him. The
railroads, which base their statements
on reports from eastern agents, say
that between 5000 and 100000 people
will come to California in March and
April, and that the great majority will
make investments and remain here per-
manently.'
OF course they will remain perma-
nently." Never were the inducements
as great as they are today. A few
short years ago and the wise easterner
said to the departing tourist: Look
here. You are going to a land where it
is all sunshine and no opportunity"
We have changed all that. The sun
shine is as fine as ever, and there is
plenty of opportunity. The history of
California makes the old libel about
lack of opportunity look worse than the
original Ananias fib. The opportunities
here are much greater than they are in
the east. Even at its worst and poor
est, life in California is a joy. Eman-
cipation from fur-trimmed overcoats
and arctics is In itself worth a small
fortune. But now California offers to
the frost-bitten easterner opportunities
LOT investment anu lOi
ment not equaled in any other state.
One state stood the storm of financial
distress better than any other in the
Union. 1t was good old, ever young
California. Here the effects of the
furry were hardly noticeable, and If
we were ION scrip for awhile, it was
readily exchangeable for goods, and as
far as the effect produced upon mer-
chants and others to whom it was ten
dered was concerned, It could not be
distinguished from real money. So
come hitler, gentle tourist, to the land
of flowers and sun, where the ladies
are demurest and the days are full of
fun, where the winter time is summer,
and the summers just the same, and
prosperitys a hummer mid the bright
poinsettia's flame. Here you rhyme
whene'er you talk, and here you run
whene'er you walk, and here your for
tunes never balk and-My! but you'll
be glad you came.
