MINORS NOT MEN,,
COURT DECLARES IN
CHILD LABOR FIGHT
Employers Seek Vindication in
Rights Guaranteed by
the Constitution.
JUSTICE GARRISON HOLDS
STATE LAW CONSTITUTIONAL
Trenton Company's Appeal from
Fine by Lower Court
Is Dismissed.
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON. MARCH, 3.-The constitu-
tionality of the child labor law of this
state, in an opinion filed by Justice
Garrison yesterday, was held to be
good. The proceedings were brought
about in the suit of Commissioner
Lewis T. Bryant against the Skillman
Hardware Company, of this city. The
company was fined, and they took an
appeal; their appeal by the opinion is
dismissed.
one of the grounds upon which the
appeal was taken was that the fine i'm
posed for employing child labor was
not within the spirit of the law. con-
tending that the law was enacted TO
promote the education OF the children
of the State, and because of this, and
the fact that it was during the school
vacation that they employed the chill
dren, they should not have been con-
victed.
1t was also argued that the act, be-
cause 1t was in violation of the State
constitution, which sets out "all men
are by nature free and independent,
and have certain natural md unaliena-
bic rights, among which are those of
enjoying and defending life and liberty,
according. possessing and protecting
property, and of pursuing n obtain
ing safety and happiness"
The court, however, holds that this
line of argument in itself nulliffes the
words "all men, by attempting to
make them mean "all minors
The attack was also made on other
lines, but the court did not give them
such Importance as would warrant
Them going into detail in disposing of
the attack upon the law.

AGAINST INVASION OF
lNkuENABLE RIGHTS.
NO. 7.

n of the Newark papers,
printed in English, appeared a com
munfcation to the editor, signed
Liberty" as a reply to the reproduc-
tion in No.3 of these bulletins, of the
utterance of Abraham Lincoln, aver
ring the great President a pronounced
opponent of prohibition and prohibit
tion legislation. The communication
contained an excerpt from an address
delivered by Mr.. Lincoln at Spring
field, ILL.,, in 1912, on Washington's
:, birthday, praising the day when
there shall be neither a slave mol a
drunkard on the earth, " sail appetites
be controlled, all passions Subdued,"
and "the reign of mind and reason
come"
An attempt to play out a hymnus
to the millennium, at a time when rum
was the national beverage in this
country, often used in excess, emanat-
ing from the lips Of the young lawyer

birthday GRAFTON, against the mature
Judgment, ono tu<ntp gears later, pro-
nounced by the statesman ripened in
knowledge OF men and affairs by grave
lessons and experience in high and
highest public office of the land, as a
weapon, not against rum drinking,
but against the brewing industry and
the sale Of beer. For, that Tbs is the
handspring behind the agitation for
local option legislation, its instiga-
competent of judgment well know.
Those gentlemen speak unctuously
of their endeavor, by agitation for the
local option bill, to preserve to the
American people "the sacred legacy of
its founders, the Pilgrim fathers aud
their immediate descendants" How
these latter stood on the question Of
beer drinking is illustrated by two
laws, by them enacted near the close
of the 18th century.
In 17s9, the Legislature of Massa-
cbMsstts enacted the following law. en-
titled "An act to encourage the
production of strong beer, ale or other
malt beverages"
Whereas, the production OF strong
beer, ale or other malt beverages
furthers agriculture and trade

beverages commands them for nsfGerSat use

beverages, and all profits derived from

sands who sought the rare and beautiful products of the
Orient. The executors of Mr. Tavshanjian have been COM
PEELED to close out the business, and as a result we have com.
into possession of a large lot of these splendid Oriental Rugs
having secured them at prices much below import cost, and
our purchase will form the basis of the greatest sale of Oriental

ACT ON SCHOOL BILL TO-DAY
District Committee Will Receive
Senator Burkett's Report.
Chance of Changing Measure to Give
Appointment TO Commissioners
Not Considered Good.

The Senate Committee on the District Of
Columbia Will at its regular weekly meet
ing this morning take up the DoIliyer bin
proposing TO reorganize the administra-
ton of the local schools. a report upon
which will be submitted TO the committee
by Senator Burkett. chairman Of the sub
committee on Education and Labor. IN
accordance with the action or the sub
committee on Tuesday last. when it was
decided unanimously to report the oil!
favorably
It Is understood that only one amend
ment will be incorporated in the bill as
reported 10 the committee. that being 20
vest Ia the Commissioner OF Education.
who is given the power 20 appoint the
proposed director of education in the Dis
trict. the right 10 remove that official
No recommendation will be made by the
subcommittee that the power thus given
be transferred 20 the District Commits
sioners. despite the general desire in the
District that this important Department
Of local administration be kept IN the
control OF the local authorities.
What the action Of the committee will
be is not definitely known, beyond the
fact that the bin viii probably be ordered
favorably reported to the Senate. While
there is some sentiment in the committee
for the proposal that the Commissioners
instead OF the government official shall
have the appointment of the director TO
be- created under the proposed Law. IL is
not believed that when the question
comes 90 vote the friends Of the local
board will be strong enough 10 force the
desired amendment
The principal members Of the committee
are opposed to this course because, they
claim. the Commissioners would be sub
iect 10 factional influences in making the
appointment.
The only chance OF securing the adop-
ton Of the change IN the bill which is
desired by Washinstonians is believed 20
lie In the Senate itself when the bill
comes up for passage. and the Senators
who are behind the bill believe that il
will pass IN the form in which it comes
from the committee which will almost
certainly give the appointing power 90 the
government commissioner Of education.
The Tanner Dill proposing to reorganize
the fee system en- the registry Office Of
the Probate Court. which has been in
the hands OF subcommittee of the Dis
trict Committee for two weeks, is also
expected to be reported to the committee
at its meeting to-day.

REPORTS ARMY PAY BILL.
Senator Warren Presents Statements
FavOriRg Proposed scheme.


Together with his bill increasing the
pay OF officers and enlisted men of the
army. Senator Warren yesterday pre-
sented 10 the Senate report showing
the cost of the Increase and the compen-
sation. pay. and cost Of living Of the
men in the services OF other countries.
The bill increases the pay Of army Off
GERS. which carries with ii the pay OF
naval officers as we'll, from p per cent
in the lower grades. TO per cent for
lieutenant generals. and for the enlisted
men authorizes the President TO fix their
par az rate not exceeding 30 per cent
above that now provided
At the percentages named in the bill the
increase for the 4.26S officers now on the
active list viii amount annually to 81
262sS52, and for those on the retired list
TO S59i,373. while the cost OF the increase
in the pay of the enlisted force II car
ried to its maximum, would amount 10
$3.50 1885, or a total Of sS.927.392.
The report goes on TO show that the
present rates of pay have been IN FORCE
for forty years In which time the wages
in all industries have increased greatly,
as has also the cost Of living. Attention
Is also called to the greater expense or
uniforms and equipments and TO the tact
that nov the officers and men must serve
at far distant points-the Philippines, Ha-
wall, and Porto Rico, whereas forty years
ago the service was confined TO the United
States proper

CANDIDATE IN RACE
Cushman, of Tacoma, Says He's Out
for Presidency,
Taller Than Fairbanks, He Is Also
Thin as n Razor blade, and
Real Humorist.

Vice President Fairbanks has been
robbed Of one Of his claims to the Re
publican nomination for President He Is
TO longer the tallest candidate. for one
longer than he has entered the race.
The man who has deprived the Vice
President of being the most attenuated
candidate is Representative Francis W.
Cushmau. OF Washington. He overtops
Mr. Fairbanks by an inch and half,
and is as thin as a razor blade Mr.
Cushman let the fact be known yesterday
that he is a candidate, when some one
asked him whom he intended to support.
Il intend to support Cushman. of Ia
coma, replied the statesman from Wash
ingtOn
You may say that I am for Cush-
man"
He will make his formal announcement
and launch his boom within a few days.
AR Cushman has been a water boy"
with a railroad construction gang. a
common laborer, a section hand COW
puncher, a lumberman. a school teacher,
a lawyer Congressman, and now he
wants to be President, and says so.
Since John c. Fremont ran for Presi-
dent. fifty years ago, there hasn't been
a candidate from the Pacific Coast, and
Mr.. Cushman believes that it is high
time that that section was recognized. and
that he should be the man selected.
AR Cushman ranks with J. Adam Bede
as a Congressional humorist. and his
friends are now wondering whether he is
jesting or really in earnest.
