"The Great Divide"

A rare treat in store for discrimin-
ating playgoers.
After two years of eager expectancy
the local lovers of good drama are at
last to see what the leading dramatic
critics of America have so widely her
aided as 1.-The long awaited great
American play" Contracts have been
signed sealed and delivered, whereby
the management of the Keylor Grand
theater may definitely announce 1.-The
Great Divide on Thursday, Dec. 10.
The attraction is under the personal
direction of Henry Miller, the dis
tinguished actor manager, who has
been presenting William Vaughn
Moody's phenomenally successful
drama of American life for over 500
nights at the Princess and Days the
alters, New York, to such unprecedent-

tire production, with complete scenic
equipment, will be, given here precise

PROGRESS IN CHILD LABOR
LAWS

The National Child Labor committee
has been in existence four years. Dur
ing that time its influence has been
felt in thirty-five states.
There is still plenty of work to be
done and laws to be safe guarded
Opposition while less effective. is in
evidence in every attempt to protect
the child and improve the conditions
under which service is performed.
Only the strong will of Governor
Hughes was able to force the amend
ment to the New York labor law for
a bureau of mercantile inspection.
The great barrier in the age limita
ton of the child is poverty. The COM
mittee's work comes into sharp con-
tact with this dominating fact. The
fight On this issue is hard but fairly
successful. Only two states permit
children under - years to work in
factories, and only then if they are
the offspring of dependent parents.
Virginia makes it prima facie evidence
of guilt on the part of both parent
and employer to hire a child under the
age limit.
Working hours in the cotton manu-
featuring states are the longest From
Massachusetts with a 5S-hour week,
it runs up to a 66hour week in the
states of Georgia and North Carolina
With the custom of a half holiday on
Saturday this means, in the two latter
states, 12-hour day for the first five
working days of the week
One of the most effective campaigns
waged by the committee was in the
state of Mississippi. Sentiment was
stirred by the discovery that 25 per
cent of the operatives in the cotton
mills were children under IA years Of
age, and that 80 per cent of these
were illiterate. Although strong op-
position came from the manufacturers

REMODELING OLD
BUSINESS HOUSE

Carpenters are engaged in making
repairs on the building at Fourth and
Main streets, occupied by 1. w. Sims,
the pure food grocer, and by the first
of the year it is expected that the
store WIN be in quarters much larger
and more convenient than the present
storeroom. BY the removal of the par
tition at the rear Of the store. the room
formerly occupied by Chinese mer-
chant will be converted into a mod
ern, upto date salesroom, with a plate
glass front on the Fourth street side,
and giving a depth of 100 feet to the
building.
Heretofore Mr.. Sims has been at a
disadvantage through having but 80
feet in which to handle his stock, and
as a result mas been compelled to
store considerable of his grocery line
in warehouses until such time as room
in the store could be made for it. The

MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., Dec. =
Joseph Hoover, charged with Staying
Edward Ford, at BordentoWn, during
a fit of jealous anger, will probably be
placed on trial this week. Since the
crime, Hoover has repented of his ac-
ton, and has sought to remove the
stain he placed upon the character of
his wife, whom he had charged with
Illicit relations with the victim OF his
murderous assault. He says that he
now realizes that he forced a confess
sion from her at the point of pistol
with which he, killed Ford, and he
does not understand what led him to
such action, as he recalls nothing to
support it. Hoover states that he can
not hope to save himself from the
electric chair, and hopes that the op-
Grafton will soon be ended.

PREVENTING WASTE OF TIME.

1t seems that the waste of day
light is exciting great interest in
England. So much that MIR. William
Willett's plan to prevent such waste
has assumed the form of a bill be-
fore parliament, with excellent chances
of final passage There are apparent
lv four ways to lengthen ones days
first, by honoring his father and
mother; second, by finding Joshua
to command the sun to stand still;
third, by going to the north. pole in
winter: fourth. by act of parliament.
There is one other way for those who
sleep late. whom Mr.. Willett seeks to
accommodate. and that other way is
to GIT up earlier.
The Willett idea is that Standard
time is now so fixed that for nearly
half the year the sun shines upon
the land. for several hours each day,
while we sleep therefore he would,
by act of parliament, withdraw some
hours of wasted sunlight in spring,
summer and autumn from the begin
ming of the day and add them to the
end of the day. Why not get an alarm
clock?
The proposition is as follows: cat
> "A. m. on each of four Sundays in
April. standard time shall advance
20 minutes; and on each of four Sun
days in September shall recede 20
IN 'nutes; or, in other words, that for
eight Sundays of "a hours each we
shall substitute four each 20 minutes
less than "a hours, and four. each 20
minutes more than "A hours. 1t is quite
needless to suggest that such move
ment of the hands of a clock will hard
ly be sufficient to bring up with the
sun certain of the lords, bishops, pro-
fessOrs. officials and functionaries
whose signatures are found affixed to
the petition for the act of parliame mt
However, such act may result in
in hustling lazy tradesmen. shop
Keepers, peasants and the domestic
help out a little earlier. Twenty lords
and about 200 members of parliament
have promised to support the bill
The power Of legislation is great,
but it is hardly reasonable to expect
it to send to bed earlier that gay ele-
ment of the population who prefer to
remain up late and to then get a
rich supper to go to bed on. Those
who prefer to retire late usually per-
sist in rising late, even the man who
comes around after the rent or taxes
being unable to arouse them. On the
other hand, the great majority of the
people of England retire early and
rise early They do not lose the hours
to which Nj Willett refers in any
country. They toll from sun to sun.
Necessity moves them to get up early
and to save the daylight. Nothing less
than similar necessity will ever move
the pampered owls" to change the
pleasures of night for the onerous du
ties of longer day.

CAESAR IN JOURNALISM

VINO was the first man in history to
conceive the idea of journalism intend
ed for all the people? 1t is possible
to make a plausible claim for the
many sided experimenter VINO con-
quered Gaul. led the democratic party
IN Rome and became her absolute
ruler. Without the invention of print
ing, democracy as we know it now
would never have been possible, says
an exchange. In Rome the news of the
day was obtained by the rich through
a number OF copies, made by slaves,
OF a set of notes about current events.
Caesar, at that time making his way
as leader of the popular party, con-
ceived the idea of furnishing this
news to all the people. His method
was to have the facts written on walls
here and there throughout the city
This writing was after a time erased

ROOSEVELT AND CHAMBERLAIN

Il am for the people ruling and L
want you to be senator"
When President Roosevelt in tehse
words greeted Governor Chamberlain
yesterday at the White House he voiced
the sentiment of honest, patriotic citi-
zens all over this nation, says the
Oregon Journal. The president frankly
declared in the same breath that he
would have preferred to see Oregon
elect a republican senator, but the peo-
pie of the state had spoken and he
bowed to their decision as final and
indSputable. With his customary out
spoken directness he made in unmis-
clear that he lends no counten-
ance to the efforts to debauch the
Oregon legislature, and to induce
statement No 1 legislators to reupd-
late their pledges to the people And
the attitude of the president is the
attitude of honest men and honest
newspapers all over these United
States.
Apparently the president did not
pause to consider the constitution
atty of the manner in which the
people of Oregon had expressed
their choice for senator; he does not
seem to have given a thought to the
excuses by which statement No. 1
legislators might wiggle out of per-
Torrance of their pledge; he was
quite unterrified by the dangers
which might threaten the republi-
can party in consequence of obeying
the peoples will.
1t is enough for Roosevelt that the
voters of Oregon have named Cnam-
berlain as their choice for senator.
He accepts the peoples decision as
that of the court of last appeal. He
wants Chamberlain to be senator,
because the people of Oregon want
him. and that is all that the presi-
dent cares to know.
We commend President ROosevelts
attitude to the consideration of those
men and those newspapers in Oregon
that are leagued in the effort to pre-
vent Chamberlain's election and to
plunge the state once more into the
mire of debauchery. and corruption
which marked senatorial elections in
the past.
