BILE so old that It seems TO be n
shame to quote Il. namely that about
the camel that was permitted to
put his nose into the tent and
swiftly followed 1t with his whole
body and then carried the tent away.
Some OF the anti.Taft people In
Washington are saying that the Sc
lection of Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock, as a Taft campaign
manager, Is a new instance OF the
nose Of the camel They assert and
with some reason. that Mr.. Hitch
cock has always been friend and
supporter Of secretary of the trea-
sury. Cortelyou. They recall the
fact that when Postmaster General
Cortclyou took Hitchcock from n
place of obscurlty and pushed him
far 10 the front They harp on the
notorious truth that Mr.. Hitchcock
travelled through the south recently
sounding REPUBLICAN sentiment as to
the nomination OF MIR. Cortelyon.

One of the obstacles with which the
Republican party will have to contend
this fall is the negro vote. Heretofore
the solid negro vote has been cast for
Republican candidates. The action of
Roosevelt in removing two companies
of colored soldiers for the shooting up
of Brownsville, without hearing, has
stirred up the negro population. Ne.
groes go so far as to say that they
would vote for Tillman in preference
to Roosevelt or Taft With such an
adroit and hard fighting politician as
Senator Foraker keeping this question
before the public. it appears likely that
the negro vote will be as troublesome
to the Republicans in certain Northern
states as it has been troublesome to
Democrats in the past in the border
states of the south. The negro vote
may possibly determine the result in
the. following states, where the negro
population of voting age is as follows:
Connecticut. 5000; Delaware, $500; H.
!inois, $4,000: Indiana, 10000: Ken
tucky. $4,000; Maryland $4,000; Missou
ri, $4,000: New Jersey, $4,000; New
York, $4,000; Ohio, 100000; West Vir-
ginia. $4,000.

CHILD LABOR LAW.

The child labor law for the District
of Columbia. as passed by the House
of representatives. prohibits the en-
ployment at any sort of labor of chill
dren under Ia years of age during the
school hours or before s a. M, or after
I p. IN. No child under sixteen can
be employed more than eight hours a
day. No boy under ten nor girl un-
der sixteen can sell newspapers or
other merchandise or engage in boot
blacking on the streets.
1t is to be hoped that the bill will be
passed and become a model for sim
liar bills in different states in the
Union. AS rule we are opposed to
legislation that interferes with the
personal privileges and habits of citi-
zens. The control of children ought to
belong to parents and ne| to the state
The responsibility for the correct
rearing and education of children ma.
turally belongs to the parents, but
when parents fail to meet that re-
sponsibility the state should step in.
The rights of parents who properly
meet their responsibilities in respect
to their children will not be inter-
fered with by the proposed legisla-
tion.
1t has been said that the progress
of civilization can be traced in differ
ent quarters of the globe by the no
sition OF women in society. The treat.
ment OF children is a still better test.
M great praise should be bestowed
upon a civilization which permits
children of tender years to engage in
labor which dwarfs their physical, men,
tai and moral growth. It is common
to hear men speak of how they had
to work in their boyhood days, but
few of these men would ask their own
children to go through the same strue.

ington should have model child Ia.

FAMOUS WOMAN DEAD,

Not only has the presidential office
increased its power in the last few
years. but the people themselves seem
to be giving more and more attention
to presidential politics and less to con.
gressional candidates. This situation
affords good field for the bosses who
control Congress and legislation. The
people, as whole, have been pretty
we'll satisfied with the man who has
occupied the presidential chair during
the last seven years. Certainly that
much cannont be said about the men
who have directed legislation.
Unless we are greatly mistaken,
there is dissatisfaction with the way
business is conducted in the lower
house of Congress, which will show
itself at the next election. The voters
have become thoroughly disgusted
with the methods of Cannon, Sherman,
Dalzell and Payne. and it would take
another Roosevelt majority to save the
House of Representatives to the Re.
publicans. Leave out the Represen.

WHO WILL GET SECOND PLACE?

Last week added to the Bryan col.
umn at Denver rs votes, 46 from Ohio
and 80 from Massachusetts. AS the
weeks go by. the mathematical demon.
stration of what has been apparent for
months approaches. Bryan now has
ESQ delegates positively instructed for
him, while there are 124 delegates
elected without any instructions
Counting every uninstructed delegate
as opposed to Bryan, he still has more
than two-thirds of the delegates al.
ready selected and of the uninstructed
delegates 1t is safe to say that he is to
day the personal choice of more OF
those delegates than all other candi.
dates combined. Rhode Island, which
sent an uninstructed delegation of
votes, has Z Bryan men on it. In view
of what has happened and what will
surely happen, the question of the Sc.
lection of the presidential candidate
at Denver Is foreclosed. Interest now
centers in the selection of a vice pres.
ilential candidate.
A reliable poll taken by the Chicago
Tribune in every state of the Union,
shows that Bryan is the first choice of
~ per cent of the votes polled, and
that he Is the second choice of large
proportion of the remaining IS per
cent. Governor Johnson is his nearest
competitor and he is the choice of but
IL per cent. There is so much differ.
ence between them that they cannot be
spoken of as competitors. The sta.
tistics gathered are interesting to a
student of such matters only as indi
eating what might happen in case
Providence or Bryan himself should
remove that gentleman from the con.
test. No expenditure of money. no
press bureau and no campaign of de.
ceit can change the result at Denver.
Indeed it is doubtful whether Mr.. Bry.
