A MENACE TO COUNTRY
MISSOURI PARDON ATTORNEY
WANTS PARENTS TO TEACH
CHILDREN TO WORK.

st. Louis, Mo, Feb. 20.-That the
problem of child idleness is as i'm
portant as the problem of child la
Dor, at least from the standpoint OF
criminology and crime prevention,
was the view expressed by Thomas
Speed Mosby Missouri state pardon
attorney, in a lecture delivered at
the Odeon theatre in this city last
night, before the Citizens Industrial
association of st. Louis.
Mr.. Mosby stated that the over
whelming majority of criminals were
young men, and that over 90 per,
cent of the young men found In the
various state reformatories were
found to have been wholly without
previous occupation of any kind.
| He showed that the greater number
! of criminals generally were indus
/ trial incompetents, and took the po-
sition that incompetency in the arts
and processes of trade is quite as
dangerous to society as illteracy, the
maximum of dishonesty usually be-
| ing found with the minimum of
| earning power.
He said that the gravest menace
that confronted American industrial
supremacy in the worlds marts was
not faulty schemes of currency,
freight rebates, monopolies or tariffs,
but the rate of growing inehiciency
on the part of American labor; that
he believed in the training of all to
work. In the wise and useful appli-
cation of all human energy, without
regard to age, race, sex, political
condition or social station, and that
labor is the highest law of liberty
and of life.

CRITICIStS UNCLE JOE
Two Pieces of Legislation of Parti-

Now Waiting Speaker
CannOn's Pleasure.

Washington, Feb. 20-As the re-
suit of Mr.. Boutelle's laudatory re-
marks of Speaker Cannon in the
house Tuesday, Mr.. Henry of Texas,
soon after the house met yesterday,
said that If Mr.. Routeile's statements
were sincere and truly represented
the speakers attitude toward the
toilers of the country, the speaker
would give the weight of his influ-
ence to much needed legislation.
Mr.. Henry disavowed any intention
to detract from the praise which had
been accorded Mr. Cannon, but he
said there were several matters that
could be enacted into law within the
next few days or weeks IF the spea-
ker would but respond to the de-
mands of the country and the de-
mand of the democrats of the
house"
One of these was the employers S
liability bill which, he said, the
president had urged in his recent
pyrotechnical message"
The other was the bill requiring

LAWS ARE KILLED
TWO IMPORTANT DECISIONS
RENDERED BY THE COURT
OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
TAX Is NOT UNIFORn
Statute Regarding Sale of Non-In-
toxicating Ma's Iiquoit In
Local Option Districts In
constitutional

Two opinions by the judges of the
court of criminal appeals, in session
at Dallas, handed down Wednesday
morning, declare unconstitutional as
many acts of the Texas legislature
one of the twenty-ninth and the
other of the thirtieth sessions Judge
Ramsey, in an opinion containing
some twenty pages, declares uncon-
stitutional the law passed by the last
legislature levying tax of $4,000
per annum on those persons who sell
notwithstanding malt liquors in To-
cal option districts which the law
gives a status, under the terms,
frosty" "uno," ''ino, 'tin-top,
"tee-total, etc, on the ground that
the tax is not uniform. In this opin-
ion Judge Brooks dissents.
Judge Brooks, in an opinion, holds
unconstitutional, on practically the
same grounds, the law which impos-
es tax of $1,000 per annum on
persons who procure assignments or
transfers of wages, not due or pay
able, and not earned

Suppose" says Judge Ramsey
I'VE substitute the words lumber,
shingles, and building Materials for
the words 'uno, ino, etc. we would
ritory upon the commerce of these
useful articles in Johnson county of
$4,000 per annum, whereas, in an
adjoining county, among people
wholly homogeneous, the merchants
pay practically no tax at all. 1t was
the intention of the builders of our
government to prevent this condi-
ton of affairs"
Taxes Not Uniform and Equal.
Judge Ramsey's opinion conclu-
des: "We believe the act to be un-
constitutional in that it strikes down
that taxes shall be uniform and
equal, and entertaining this view,
after a thorough investigation and
deliberate consideration, it only re-
