Last night two houses were entered

horse from Fryer, who gave him a re-

horse and at the same time placed on
the receipt a guarantee of the sound
ness of the horse. The receipt did not
suit Smailey, and he took the matter
up with Frey. who finally seized the
receipt and tore 1t up. Smalley then
had him arrested. His bearing in the
court room was disrespectful, and Mag

costs for disorderly conduct, and had
him draw UP another receipt.

legations were not nearly SO bad as
thought at first, and politics was re-
sponsible for most of the horrifying
details which were brought to light.
The speaker Closed his talk by telling
the value of the application of civil
service principles to the appointments
in the state institutions.
Liquidation Committee Reports.
The committee on legislation report.
ed to the conference at the session
Saturday evening. The report was
prepared largely by Sherman G. Kings
ley, chairman of the committee. The
report deals with the present child
labor laws, the laws on delinquency,
and takes up a plea to establish better
conditions for women who are in in
dustrial life. The child labor laws
which are at present in force in the
state are considered by the committee
to be commercially strong with the ex-
ception of one or two details. Two
weak points in the present laws are
failure to require better educational
test from children before certificates
allowing them to work are issued and
the fact that SO many children are al
lowed to work on the grounds that they
are over 16 years old when 1t is an un-
proved affidavit which allows them to
do so.
On the subject of women in industry
the laws of this state are silent, except
that the onStitution iS har tn CO.
curing law for the protection of wo-
man workers. This same condition
was met with in New York, however,
and was overcome. The laws which
require certain sanitary regulations
and providing of rest rooms are a good
heginning for the protection, but they
do not go nearly as far as the laws of
most of our sister states.
The subject of industrial insurance
is one of considerable Importance in
the report also. In 1905 an industrial
insurance commission was created and
in report submitted by the commits
sion, within the last year there is a
draft of bill which will permit agree
ments between employer and employe
on the subject of industrial insurance.
The bill was merely a start ON the
great subject of industrial insurance
and it met with considerable objection
in the house and was not passed, but
it will come up in the future in differ.

The conference opened Saturday ev-

The first session was attended by

tering the church. City Attorney ]. F.
Witter spoke briefly in extending a
hearty welcome to the visitors, and
Rev. R. K. Atkinson, on behalf of the
Tri-City Social Service club, also gave
an address of welcome. Miss Rather
Inc Gest gave a selection on the pipe
organ. DR.. w. H. c. Smith, president
of the conference, then took up the
real work of the conference and spoke
at length on the care of the feeble
minded in Illinois. Dr. Smith was for

was there that politics for
The first time began to enter
into the management of the institu-
| ton, and he saw in a space of four
years the institution drop from a lead
er among such places until it was in
a class by itself at the bottom of the
list as far as able management and
efficiency of work was concerned.
Politics is Detrimental.
This system Of bartering political
support for positions of importance in
| the state institutions grew and -four
| fshed under different administrations,
and now the lecturer thinks it is time
to call halt. In his belief, the state
cannot treat the feeble minded charges
too well, yet statistics show that DUR
ing the last two decades the amount
per capita expended for their benefit
has decreased fully third. At pres
ent the per capita paid for the care of
the patients at Lincoln is about $171.68
compared with per capita of $264.65
for the first decade of it's existence.
The present per capita is far below
that given to other state institutions,
and at the same time this state has
more problems to deal with than al
most any other state, as there are 200
epileptics in the state who can be de-
pended upon to furnish a large number
of charges for the state
Dr. Smith says that the work of car
ing for and training the feeble minded
children is a religious work rather than
a political work Under the care OF
religious orders, the work flourishes
and is well done, but in the expert
