SCHOOL TEACHERS CANNOT
ACCEPT OUTSIDE WORK

Guthrie, Okla, June 5,-That an in
structor in a state normal school, If
hired by the year, cannot accept any
other employment, such as teaching
in a county normal institute, is the
opinion of Attorney General West.
Where the state employs a public
servant at a certain sum per year, "
says the attorney general. 1T means
to employ his entire time and service.
1t is against public policy that he be
allowed to have side lines of com
pensation, such as employment in a
summer normal"
General West says that the custom
has been to employ teachers by the
year, with the understanding that one
full months holiday was TO be allow
ed, yet the state undertakes to say
how that holiday time shall be used -
The attorney generals opinion is
supplementary to one by Assistant At
torney General George A. Henshaw,
stating that the employment of such
an instructor in a summer normal
would depend upon the nature of his
contract, and that he would not nee
essarily be debarred from summer
work because of his normal school
employment.

San Francisco, Cal, June 5--Anoth-
er manifestation of the historic good
feeling between France and the Unit
ed States was expressed today when
Ambassador Jusserand, on behalf of
the French government, presented to
the city of San Francisco a handsome
gold medal, commemorative of the re-
storation of the city from the destruc-
tion wrought by the earthquake and
fire of 1906. The exercises took place
in the Orpheum building, beginning
at half past ten O'Clock this morning.
The medal was accepted by the mayor
of the city, who responded tittingly to
the tribute of the French nation.
Impressive as was the medal itself
the manner and words in which the
French ambassador presented it in
creased MANIFOLD the lesson of the
day. That the feeling of the repres-
entative of the republic of Europe
for her sister republic in the west was
reciprocated by the citizens of San
Francisco was evidenced by the ap-
plause that greeted the ambassadors
closing remarks:
Accept this gift, Mr.. Mayor" he
said, "and receive it you all, Ameri-
can citizens, in token that what once
was, still is; that we, French, con-
tinue, as of old, to feel with you in
your moments of happiness or an
guish, and if may be permitted to
appropriate the words of Mr.. Elihu
Root, let me say in my turn, that we
have in France feeling for America;
and a sentiment, enduring among a
people, is a great and substantial fact
to be reckoned with. Long live your
city, and may continuous prosperity
be the lot of the American nation"
In explaining the origin of the idea
to present the medal to the city, the
ambassador reviewed the continued
intimacy of the two nations. Since
the early days of American independ-
ence, no great event has happened in
this country without awakening
friendly echo in distant France he
said He told of the many express
sions of regard, given by both France
and by America to the other, finally
coming down to the time three years
ago when the United States present
ed to France a medal commemora-
tive of the way i'm which the EurOp-
can nation received Franklin when
lie came to tell the woes of the strug
CLING thirteen states On the day of
the presentation of the medal detail
ed news of the disaster that had be-
fallen San Francisco was lacking. Jus
suerand said that as he rose to ac-
cept the medal, the thought flashed
his mind that the next token
of friendship between the two ma
tions might commemorate, the resur-
rection of the city.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Although the
National Hat Manufacturers associa-
tion has announced that it's members
will reopen their struck factories with
non-union men in February, there is,
however, the greatest confusion
among them since the beginning Of
the strike. President Mundheim, of
the association, keeps the reporters
of the capitalistic newspapers busy
with new statements, each one giving
a contradictory plan Of the reopen
ing of the hat factories.
AT first it was reported that a con-
tract for 5000 strikebreakers has
been made with Heading detective

Wednesday President Mundheim is
sued another statement in which he
is playing. for the strikers He said:
'The association will not, I believe,
make any deal with any strike break

dividual members may do. We have
decided to give our old employees the
first chance in opening our shops, 80
as to stave off trouble, if possible. I
don't believe many Of them will re-

The strikers are amused over the

clare that any union man can get
the "frst chance amy time he wants
to turn traitor to his fellows. Tie
reason being, they say, that the en-
ployers know full we'll the worth Of

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Dr. Stephen
S. Wise. Rabbi of the Free Synagogue
Of this city, in the course of an ad-
dress the other day said:
The inclusive and inalienable right
Of children is to childhood, that is to
the life Of child. The term child

childhood has right to be we'll
housed, and ought not to be COM
PEELED odwell in death-dealing te:ae-
ments, which deny the child the
chance to enter upon a life that shall
be normal and healthful.
Child Labor, How Suppressed.
Child labor Is to be fought posi-
lively and constructively, and not
merely negatively and obstructively.
Child labor is to be overcome by
better schools and by compulsory
school laws that are honestly and
diligently enforced. Child labor is to
be fought by the Industrial school is
coming into being, but the industrial
school that are to be must be under
state control, lest they become sca,b
nurseries, kindergartens for strike
breakers, adjuncts of citizens alliances
to break down the citizenship of the
nation.
Child labor is to be suppressed and
ultimately suppressed that justice
may be done to the child.
Must Be AhoIished
Child labor ought to be abolished,
not so much at the behest Of the
duty Of safeguarding the republic, but
rather because Of the duty Of the re-
public to safeguard it's children. We
are beginning to plan for the con-
servation Of our national resources.
Let us conserve our most precious ma
tional resource, the life and JOY and
privilege of, childhood, .. :, - -.:.;
- Credit 20 Trades Unions. : !
r. Trades. unions have worked con-
sistently, persistently and intelligent
ly toward the abolition of child labor
To organized labor, more than anv
other influence, the country is under
a great debt Of gratitude for having
brought about the enactment Of CON-
pulsory education laws and statutes
forbidding the employment Of chill
dren in factories.
Credit for the good which organized
labor has done and Is doing always
is accorded sparingly and with re-
luctance.
The people Of this country, like
Rabbi Wise, some day will awaken to
a realization of the fact tnat the
destruction of the labor movement
would be a national calamity greater
than civil war.
