IT Is said that the King had already

only recently that she showed any

"A letter requesting that Miss
Cook be barred from the team was

Walter u. Woodbury., president
OF the debating union, went SO far
as to say that II Miss Cook was not
removed from the Cornell team Co
lumbia would forfeit the debate
,lsiit is not because we are afraid
of losing to the. Cornell team with
Miss Cook as member that we
are making this protest" he said,

TII"NI YIT -TlTN y n 10 TTNIT-
He Pokes Fun at the Repu-

y GerH Kouse. efi tsemie

y b
Washington, Jan. %. The in
tention OF the Democratic party to
nominate william }. Bryan for
president at the convention to be
held in Denver, in July next, was
declared on the floor of the house
OF representatives by Representative
Champ Clark or Missouri and evok-
ed continued applause, mingled
with cheers.
Mr.. Clark, in commenting on
how Missouri was going to vote
at the next presidential election,
explained that at the last election
10000 Democrats stayed at home,
because they did not like a GER
tain telegram, sent from Esopus
to the st. Louis convention. Those
Democrats, he declared, were not
dead. They have not moved away
he said, "and they did not join the
Republican party, because Roosevelt
only got 1000 more votes than
Mckinley In 1900"
The next moment, he threw the
clared, that ION July 3 next, we
intend to nominate William j.
Bryan for president" The Demo-
Gratis applauded, shrieked and
pounded their desks, and later, the
Republicans In derision joined in
the demonstration, which lasted for
some minutes.
Continuing, Mr.. Clark challenged
the Republicans to name their man.
Il will bet my head on the propo-
sition." he SAID, that there are not
10 men on that side that will dare
stand up and say who their candi-
date will be"
Tumultuous Democratic applause
and laughter greeted this remark.
Il can tell you who the gentle
man from Illinois is for" inter-
jected Mr.. Boutelle (lll.) VINO
took up the challenge.
You are for Uncle joe Can
non,"s suggested Mr.. Clark.
Il am for him." replied Mr..
Boutelle, amid Kepublican applause.
You may nominate your bryan
in July but we will elect Cannon
III NNotcmucT.
Some amusement was created
when Mr.. Clark inquired OF Mr..
Boutelle II he was certain that the
administration forces would be for
Uncle Joe" or not.
Every Republican in the United
States will be" said Mr.. Bou-
telle.
"Ah, don't you believe any such
stuff as that said MIR. Clark,
whose retort called forth more DEM
ocratic applause, which broke out
again when Mr.. Clark inquired Of
Mr.. Boutelle:
Were you at the Gridiron din
ner here when Roosevelt and For
aker had that fuss 2" N
That" replied MrJ Boutelle,
was simply one of those little
ebullitions OF spirit that will be
entirely forgotten. and every Re
publican In the country will vote
for the Republican nominee"
"One lone fisherman" remarked
Mr.. Clark, with sigh, as he took
his seat amid the shouts OF laugh
ter from the Democratic side.

THE PROPOSITION
OF CHILD LABOR

The Ohio General Assembly has be-
fore At now. bill which Is not being
given the attention upon the part of
the public, which its Importance JUS
titles. The child labor bill, which
passed the house yesterday, may be
made a very excellent measure and
1t may be converted into very dan
gerous law. There is no argument
upon one side of the question while
the other phase Is pregnant with fea-
lures which are debatable. There is
no arguing the qdestion that laws,
not only in Ohio, but in many other
states, have been too lax upon the
question of the employment of child
rem in factories, so called sweat
shops, for long hours Children so
employed, have been stunted mental
ly, physically and morally. Drastic
legislation upon this point is needed
and should be enacted Immediately
and after becoming effective, should
be enforced to the letter.
But the danger lies in carrying the
reform tosthe extreme. While there
is no question of the laxity of the
laws governing the employment of
children in sweat shops, neither is
there question of injury resulting
from enforced idleness. Every child
who is physically able, should be
given some form of employment for
reasonable hours, as soon as he
reaches the age and DEVELOPMENT
which will permit it. Church people
insist upon beginning the religious
training of the child as soon as it can
begin to lisp little prayer. Educat-
ors begin the mental training when
the child reaches the age of six years.
Then where is the excuse for COM
pelling boy or girl to remain in
idleness until he or she has reached
the age Of fourteen years. Habits of
industry are formed early in life,
just as religious and moral habits
are formed in childhood. "As the
twig is bent the tree is inclined" Is
just as true in the habit of industry
as in any other phase of a child's
life.
The General Assembly should, by
all means, enact a law correcting
the evils OF child labor, but in doing
80 it should not go the other extreme
and make it impossible for an ambi-
tious boy or girl to secure employ
ment OF any kind until they reach
fourteen years of age, the very time
vhen most children begin to get lazy,
<ompelling them to sit around in idle
ness. playing with dolls and hobby
horses.
