CHILD LABOR AT BURLINGTON
City Council Investigating Violation
of the Law

Burlington, Dec. Sat the regular
meeting of the aldermen last night,
Alderman Cowles introduced a reso-
luton which was adopted, relating to
child labor in Burlington and Win
ooski mills. The resolution reads as
follows:
Whereas, charges from respected
sources have come to the attention
of this board that children are illeg-
ally employed in the mills of this
city; and
Whereas, our city charter prov
ides that the mayor shall use his best
efforts to see that the laws and the
city ordinances are enforced and that
the duties of all subordinate officers
are faithfully, performed; now there
it is
Resolved, that this matter be and
is hereby respectfully called to the
attention of the mayor for such ac-
ton as shall to him seem advisable,
to the end that such conditions, If
they should be found to exist, shall
be promptly and effectively rene
died"
Alderman Cowles stated that re-
Gently at noon he visited the vicinity
of the Chace mill near Winooski and
saw a group containing four children
under the school age leave the mill
He thought that the child labor law
was continually violated in the city.
Mayor Burke stated that there
were several hundred children under
16 years of age in the city who did
not attend school Some had no
clothes to wear and others worked in
the mills. He stated that many
mothers asked that their children I'M
der the school age be allowed to work
so that they might help support the
family and themselves He stated
that the conditions were sorrowful,
indeed, but that he had no jurisdic-
ton but to enforce the law.
Alderman Cowles also read a letter
from the secretary Of the national
child labor committee in which it
was stated that the child labor law
was being violated in Vermont. The
secretary recently visited Burlington
and reported that he saw 19 children
leave the Chace mill near Winooski,
all apparently under 16 He also saw
a lesser number leave the Queen City
mill.

1t saves you money.
That queer thing to say of soap.

1t saves you money.
That's a queer thing to say of soap.
But it's true of FelS-Naptha.
How Simple as A, B, c.
Clothes cost money. When you boil
clothes you weaken their fore just as you
soften meat or vegetables by boiling. Hard
rubbing wears them out.
When you wash clothes with
Fels-Naptha you neither boil nor hard-rub
them Fels-Naptha does the work far
better in cold or lukewarm water in half the
time and bother.
Your clothes will wear twice as long if
washed with FelS-Naptha. And they II be
cleaner, whittier and Sweeter after every
washing than you could get them in any
other way.
All that's required is to follow easy
directions on the back of the red and green
wrapper Be sure and get the genuine
Fels-Naptha.

ARTIFICIAL IcE-MAKlNa.

The leo barons are promoting the artificial foe business by their com binations and greed. The fact har been demonstrated by the postof1ace department that it can make ice for 65 cents a ton which has heretofore cost over sT per ton from private con- cerns; and at Jacksonville, Fla, where there is no natural ice, firm is sell ing homemade artificial ice at IA cents hundred and making money There is great distress for want of cheap loo fin all the large cities and re- lief will come in time. The Newbury- port News says upon the subject of artificial fee:
 One advantage which would accrue from the installation of artificial ice plants would be the avoidance of shortages in the product. During the heated days of last week the people in many districts of Boston were unable to get natural ica at any price. owing to the fact that shipments were delayed from the New Hampshire storehouses. and when the carts finally made their appearance they were from 12 to a4 hours late and many peoples Sunday dinners were spoiled. We think that the introduction of artificial ice. either bv municipal or private enterprise Is bound to come, and there is no reason why the supply should not be cheap. clean and reliable"

A NEW HIGH SCHOOL.

The first agricultural high school to be established In New England is founded at Petersham. Mass. and this distinctive honor goes to this small town because of the liberality of it's citizens who gave ten acres of land and stone school building which cost $s0,000, and the whole school system of the town Is in sympathetic co-op- eration with this new educational de- parture.
 The courses of study at the Peters, ham school make provision not enly for horticulture, forestry and general agriculture, but for history, language and mathematics. The course includes: CD The wild flowers, birds and ani- mals, and their habits. (2) The rocks, including their chemical composition and how they are made over into soil. (s) The kinds of soil, the crops best suited to each, and best methods of cultivating. (4) How to raise the best hay crop, and the right sort of cul- ture to be given all the common stan- dard crops. @) How to raise and care for small fruits and orchard fruits, and how to prepare them for market. (6) How to conduct a market garden busi- ness, including the working of glass- houses. CD Injurious insects and harmful fungi. and how to manage them (s) The principles of forestry and landscape gardening-how to lay out a handsome home. (s) The care of domestic animals. poultry and bees. (10) How to manage dairy and the culinary department of home. (ll) The use of common tools. such as saw and plane and chisei. (12) The prac- tical management of modern machin- cry, including engines for farm work. The working of the school Is so en- tirely satisfactory that the experiment Is likely to be repeated in adjacent towns.
 The New York Independent says that this means a new character for Am erican pupils and new sort of Amer ican home, when our school life and school work are devoted to making character and making homes"

REFORMING A HOLIDAY.

Monday marked the 1esd anniver- sary of the Declaration of Independ- ence. and tho eyes of the country waa upon Springfield. Mass.. Toledo. Ohio. and other American cities who have found just cause to attempt to reform the methods of celebrating the most cherished holiday of this republic. This modern Fourth with it's free use of the heaviest and most dangerous explosives in playthings for children is the disgrace of free country be- cause of the unreasonable license of manufacturers of fireworks and the peril which is now resulting annually fin from 1000 to 1900 fatalities and three or four times as many casual ties of different kinds. It Is not the noise, but the crop of cripplss, which its celebration each year gives the country, that is prompting humane people to protest and to seek more intelligent and less dangerous way of keeping this festival.
 Springfield, Mass, was behind no city in America In planning to make the Fourth memorable for something besides pleasant roystering and un- restrained gun-firing and cracker and torpedo exploding. and its great pro- cession and multifarious diversions for the entertainment and pleasures of the people showed that the safe Fourth is the best Fourth from any and all points of view.
 The Republican is right when 1t says: "The celebration of the Fourth of July has fallen into evil ways. What the holiday was intended to sig nifty has been obsoured by noise that has meant nothing, by freedom from restraint that has degenerated Into license and rowdyism. The day has become one to shudder at with it's dangers, it's mangiing of human bod les, It's loss of property by fire, and the bad influence 1t exerts through dis regard for law and order The refor- nation of this holiday has become an important issue in American civic life, and the astonishing thing has been the difficulty of accomplishing this, when there are not two ways of regarding the Fourth as the American people have been accustomed to celebrate it."
 If is the most progressive cities of the country which are leading in this conmendable work and they are going to succeed.

Aor- WnATHEB RAsHNn3e.

Many persons sacridce their liyes to folly in hot weather, e11d it ia not likely that daily newspaper warnings would result in completely checking the rashness of the young and the carelesshess and folly of the middle aged and farther advanced citizens. given for longevity, but it's founda- tion is temperance in all things and rashness in none.
 We clip the following from an ex- change as a horrible example of the relation of Folly and Fate who seem too often to play together:
 "A young man in Hartford, Conn. is just now furnishing an awful ex- ample of the danger that one is in who does not take proper cere of him- self when overloaded.
 After playing strenuous game of baseball. lasting nearly three hours. he ate several larga dishes of ice cream in store, took couple of cold drinks, and then helped the ice cream man repack ice, to cool his hands and forearms.
 'sOn his way home he was stricken deaf. dumb and blind, and the physi- clans attending him find that he is paralyzed. He lay in a state of coma all day, and in despair the doctors took him to the sixteen-ton ice refris- orator. where he was packed in Ice. in hopes of curing him by applying the hair of the dog that bit him. He shows slight improvement, has par tially regained his sight and is able to gesticulate for things he wishes done The physicians believe that if he recovers he will always be para lyzed"
 Let us hope that the young man will recover. and that the fears of the physicians will not be realized. Other young men should not go and do like wise.

PRoPITioUs WEATHER-A GREA7
 DAY.

Indspendsncs day, 1909, has gone in- 10 the history of Norwich as oay which deserves to go down to poster ity with n hundred exclamation points after it. We must confess to the cred if of the weather man. and of July, that we had good September weather when we had no right to expect 1t and that past apprehensions ali fad ed away before the low temperature ana cool breeses of the morning. when a fire was necessary to take the chill from many homes.
 The men and boys of Norwich who usually rsnd the night air with peace disturbfng sounds are to be conph- mented for the quiet and deccrous way in which they conducted themselves; and the mixed crowds of citizens and visitors formed q jolly mass of people who wearied themselves with the sights and entertainments of tho day. There were no marring accidents or discordant incidents to interfere with the pleasure of the people, and the incessant yawp of metropolitan badge and flag and button sellers was so interesting and new that 1t amused all md displeassd nons. The whole town was filled with beauty and enthusi- asm and everybody from the ganins m the street te the men in the air hip found tt pleasant to be hers
 It was great birthday and all that vas missing was . birthday cake of sufioient sirs to taks on ton of )ugar and 2so candles to syrnboiize Inc passed years, and fit in quality 0 be cut and passed to our most diB- linguished visitors. But thers was weetness ia the air, more good things were said about Norwich than were )ver said before-tnings which later )n will be included in song and story.
 And we are to have one more day # 1t, and may it be no less import mt if less Mstrous than the day of Aays-may k be a good balance for Inc first day in which the clergymer of the city so ably pointed out our character es fixed upon the Rock which fhs clements cannot disturb or man destroy.
