At the Iowa republican conyen-
tion held in DesMoines on the 18th

dorsed for the presidency and
platform calling for tariff revision
was adopted following the lines OF

Geo. d. Perkins, Sioux City; Frank
Simmons, Ottumwa; Lafe YOUNG,
Des Moines. The contest OF the
convention was between the Allison
and Cummins forces for the endorse
ment of the convention for United
States senator. The plank in tie
platform favoring the retention OF
Allison because of singular fidelity
and ability and his present COM
manding position in the Senate and
the councils of the nation" WAS
adopted by a vote of 672 to 5O7, a
majority of 165 for the Allison
forces.

Working Women and the Ballot

"But if. both for their own sakes
and for the good Of the republic.
women of property and women OF

writes Jane Adams in the April
WOman's Home Companion. ''faf
more Ia the power of the ballot needed
by the working woman, whose stake
in the country is represented by her
life. her health, her virtue, and the
safety and happiness of her children.
The ballot is not demanded for her
because she is good or wise. or be-.
cause she will make no mistakes In
it's use. Neither goodness nor wis

class, and freedom from mistakes 10
the privilege Of none. Working
women need the ballot because they
must possess some control over tn
conditions Of their lives and those of
their children; and, I'm this twentieth-
century world. the ballot box ufferm
the only channel through which they
can give expression to such leeiti-
ma tp control.

Child Labor Laws.

The best State laws in the coun
try regulating child labor are those
of Wisconsin and Illinois. That of
Wisconsin forbids child labor in
mines or factories until the age OF
sixteen years, except by permit from
a county judge or factory inspector,
and then not under fourteen years.
There is factory inspection, and
children under eighteen are not al
lowed to work over eight hours a
day. There are 19 Northern and
Western states and 2 Southern ststes
(Kentucky and Tennessee) which
have a minimum age limit of four
teen years; Southern State North
Carolina) has an age limit of thir-
teen years; 6 Northern and Western
and 9 Southern States have an age
limit of twelve years in factories.
Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi
have no child labor law, but it is to
be remembered that these States
have practically no cotton mills and
few factories of any kind. Okla
homa has no child labor laws.
South Dakota has all age limit of
fourteen for mines, but allows child
ren of eight to work in factories if
they attend school twelve weeks in
a year. There is plenty of room yet
for reform.
