Will Wipe Out Pistol Habit.

Having for its object the wiping
out of the concealed weapon habit,
the Scranton Italian Literary
Society has been formed by num-
Der of prominent Italian Americans
of that city and surrounding towns
The organization is a regularly
chartered one, and it is expected
that club rooms will be fitted up in
the central city within short time.
Among those who are fostering the
project are Con Morosini, Emil
Morisini, DR.. Antonio, DR.. Car
lucci and Salvatore Di Mattino.
In speaking of the society's
plans, says the Scranton Times,
one of these men stated that Wig
orous campaign against the carry
ing of weapons will be prosecuted.
A committee will be selected to
make a house to house canvas
throughout the county, question
ing the members of every family or
their boarders as to whether they
own weapons. If they admit that
they do, they will be warned to
get rid of them or go to Jail.
Whenever necessary warrants will
be secured for the pistol toters.
1t is the contention of the pro-
moters of the society that more
can be accomplished in the way of
wiping out the concealed weapon
by the Italians themselves than by
the authorities who cannot speak
the native tongue.

A new child labor law, prepared
by Chief Factory inspector John
c. Delaney, will he presented to
the next Leg stature as a depart
ment measure, and is expected to
pass, since it provides remedy for
existing evils. Captain Delaney
says the act was drawn to provide
CT the health and safety" of
idren, and its whole i1ea was to
an that end. He stated that he
given months OF study and
.. ny hours of conference to the
subject and would urge the bill as
al exclusively departmental meas
ure.
In the matter OF certificates he
places the power to issue i'll the
hands of school superintendents
and magistrates, but throughout
all certificates it is required that
the school laws be obeyed.
Throughout the authority of the
school department is recognized
and it has continued hold upon
the children between twelve and
fourteen. The power of issuing GER
tifcates is placed in the hands OF
Judges of court of record, the plan
adopted by the National Govern
ment.
PITH OF BIII
Briefly summed up the bill pro-
vides that the age limit shall be
fourteen, the same as now, for all
child labor, ex ,ept in mines which
are governed by another law, and
domestic service, which is not
touched.
The hours are ffty-eight per
week, with a maximum of ten
hours per day and when night
work is ordered, nine hours. No
person under eighteen may be em-
ployed about dynamite works.
blast furnaces, rolling mills, on
tracks, about motors, as brakemen,
on lifting machinery, about eleclri-
cal wires, on docks, in quarries or
in tanneries.
Children under 10 may not be
employed about tobacco-stripping
or other plants, in match factories
or where acids are made unless by
special permit issued by the chief
inspector upon proof that certain
dangers have been eliminated.
This special permit shall not apply
to any one under ID.
Children between IA and / 6 may
be employed in mercantile estab-
lishments and factories only when
physically and mentally qualified.
A special arrangement is made for
the Christmas season for stores,
covering from December IS to "a,
inclusive, so that work can be done
at night, but the time of duty must
not be over nine hours and allow
ance of one hour for meals is man
datory.
Children between / ? and ID may
obtain certificates to work from a
Judge of court of record, when it
is satisfactorily shown to him that
the labor is necessary for support
of a disabled father, widowed
mother or large family of children,
and this certificate shall be sealed
by the prothonotary of the court
and he for fixed period.

the record is that Of 1901, when the
average for the month was 81. and
on the 9Th the temperature dropped
to 80.
You may look for at least third
OF the days of June to be rainy and
for the rainfall to range from 1875
to 2.21 inches. The latter high rec
ord was made in 1905, while the
least precipitation was recorded in

not upset the situation hastily, and
the industrial world may rest easy
on that score. 1t can proceed with
new plans without the fear of dam
aging changes of front within the
near future. In the campaign Of
1896 the value of the dollar was at
stake, and a great imitation of the
currency through it's debasement
was threatened. The international
credit of the country was in the bal
ance. Conservatism at that time, in
standard trade as we'll as new ven
lures, was warranted. When new
measurements are proposed care
must be taken in making contracts
and mourning liabilities. The pres
ent campaign contains no immedi-
ate menace Of this nature. Though
there should be, contrary to general
expectation, democratic majority,

OKLAHOMA INSURANCE LAW,

Oklahoma has bank insurance
law and has had it's first failure, and
the people are now in a position to
study results. The depositOrs were
Of course paid In full, and are feel
ing 80 secure over the fact that they
are "too busy to come to town to
get their money. which the receiver
paid within "a hours.
This far there was source OF
qualification over tho working of
the law, but unfortunately the pic
ture has its reverse side. and that is
the knowledge brought to light that
the bank officers wrecked the bank
BY their own speculations. The
president and the cashier had bor-
rowed 80 per cent of the banks de-
posits to make investments of their
own. and had lost 1t all, including
the banks capital.
1t is very unfortunate that the
very first example Of the practical
sKorkipg OF the law should fall in
the category of seriocs objections
urged against the measure by those
who fought its passage or comment
ed on 1t adversely. The conserva-
tive banks and bankers Of Oklahoma
are being taxed to meet the obliga-
lions Of wildcat and dishonest insti-
tutions
~ The highest purposes Of the bill
are being defeated. It was design
ed to add conservatism and stability
to banking and to protect the men
whose money was intrusted to these
institutions The last part Of the
purpose has been attained, but at a
cost which is not likely to make the
measure popular. Sound financial
institutions pay the bill. but these
same institutions have probably lost
business because OF the operation OF
! law which robs them Of the cred.

BIG RAIL CONTRACT.


Birmingham. Ala. June 2.-Tan-
gible evidence Of generous proper
tons that prosperity is returning Is
given in the fact that the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad company, in connection
with the opening yesterday OF its new
line between Chicago, Birmingham
and Atlanta has placed a contract for
$4,000 tons of steel rails, to cost
$1.450, 900
The contract goes to the Tennessee
Iron x Coal company, and is the arg.
est order since the financial deprcs
sion set in. Only one contract. that
.oi the Pennsylvania, takes rank with
ii.
The official announcement that the
Illinois Central has decided TO ignore
what remains OF the financial depres-
sion is likely to set the pace for other
large systems which have been with
holding similar orders until conditions
are fully normal.
This contract will enable the steel
mills here to open additional plants
and give immediate work to more
than two thousand skilled men who
have been idle for some time. In an
indirect way It will start the wave OF
prosperity over the entire South, put.
ting a large amount of money into
immediate circulation and stimulating
all sorts OF business.
