expected that former Senator Hans

WHY?
The kidnapping of Willie Whitla, the
Sharon (Pa) boy, caused a sensation
nation wide.
Especially were the people and the
authorities Of Pennsylvania and Ohio
aroused. The former state offered a
reward OF $4,000 for the capture of
the kidnapers. 1t sent out troops of
mounted police. Police and detective de-
partments In many cities were active.
The activity brought results.
The guilty parties were caught al
most as soon as they got hold of the
ransom money and will perhaps go to
prison for life
When Willie Whitla was able to talk
he told how the kidnapers had in
structed him. should any bad men"
come to find him, to hide under the
sink.
Well
The city of Scranton, Pa. is not far
from Sharon, Pa, the home of Willie
Whitla's parents. and a correspondent
brings these facts to our attention:
Recently the silk workers of Scran-
ton held meeting. Among the things
recited by some of the speakers was
this statement:
Whenever a factory inspector comes
to our mill the foreman puts the little
boys and girls in the bobbin boxes and
tells them to be quiet until he goes
away
Note fhe paraIlaI
The Sharon kidnapers hide their boy
under a sink
The Scranton violators of the child
labor law hide their boys and girls in
the bobbin boxes.
Sinks or bobbin boxes-where is the
difference?
Willie Whitla complained most of all
because he could not have fresh air
and sunshine and his playmates.
The boys and girls unlawfully i'm
prisoned in the Scranton mills are de-
nied these, and more. They are en-
ployed in stuffy, insanitary rooms.
And hands and feet and backs and
brains are on a constant strain to tend
| the bobbins.
All contrary to law
! But Pennsylvania sends out no
mounted police and offers no rewards
for the arrest of these law violators.
The Whitla kidnapers took only one
boy; the child labor criminals take
thousands of boys and girls in Sharon
and elsewhere and rob them not only OF
air and sunshine, but OF their childhood
Why?
Is the wholesale crime less abhorrent
than the one against a single child?

What tn Secretary Of War
Should Do for this Region

1t would seem that the municipali-
ties concerned. by a proper exercise Of
the police power delegated to them by
their respective states. might prevent
the dumping of fifth where it Will poll
lutte their drinking water. But under
a standing decision of the federal de-
partment of justice a city is denied any
right to control its water supply if the
latter be drawn from waters used for
navigation. The locating and control
of the lake dumping grounds are in the
hands of the engineers of the war de-
partment General Marshall, chief of
these engineers, holds that because he
must sign vouchers declaring dredgings
to have been disposed of in the most
economical manner he cannot change
the Chicago and Calumet river dump
ing grounds. He declares that he can
not take into account disease due to
short dredging hauls.

CABBAGE rs Spring MEDI-

Cabbage, unlocked, Is one Of
the best sources of mineral food

which must be in organized form
to be assimilated. And cabbage
salad (oIive oil and lemon for
"dresslng") is particularly appro-
pirate as spring medicine.
Sickness is often due primarily
to the lack Of one or more OF
the food salts, and these are best
supplied by lettuce, cabbage and
tomatoes. But boiled cabbage
is extremely indigestibIe and
furnishes little food that can be
assimilated. II is general rule
that the mineral elements OF
food are preclpitated by boiling
and thrown out in the water.
These vegetables contain little
a.buren or carbohydrates and
they contain some woody fibre
which is indigestible, but the
mineral elements which they
contain are of great value. The
"BiocherIc" school OF cure is
founded on the theory that all
diseases are due to deficiency in
one or more salts and that the
remedy consists In supplying
these. They are all supplied in
the vegetables named.

The Day in Congress

Senate.

The most important development in
the senate today was the announce
ment of Senator Aldrich that he was
advocating the corporation tax as a
means of defending the income tax
He denied, however, that the corpora
ton tax was a subterfuge, as the dem
ocrats were quick to charge, and de-
Tended it as legitimate means of rails
ing revenue. Mr.. Aldrich said he ex-
pected a deficit for the next year on
two, and that the corporation tax would
help meet that and then might be
ablished. The corporation tax meas
ure was put before the senate in the
stage of a 'third-degree" amendment,
which precludes further amendments.
The tariff schedules were completed,
the last vote to be taken being on Sen
ator Tillman's proposition for a duty
of 10 cents a pound on tea. Although
Senator Tillman made a long and
strenuous fight, his plan was lost, SO to
IS. At adjournment at 6:17 Senator
Cummins was speaking on the income
tax.

TAxPAYERS LEAGUE aus

TAXPAYERS LEAGUE busy.
A gratifying example of the manner
in which the citizens of a county can
insist upon the enforcement of law and
take steps to protect themselves against
possible encroaehment on their rights
is shown in the activity of the Tax
payers League in Laporte County. The
league, which now numbers about 900
members, has determined to put every
blind tiger" in the county out of ex-
istence and has declared for the enforce
ment of all the laws against saloon
keepers.
TO PAY ENGINEER $4,000.
The Laporte City Council last night
entered into contract with Professor
Packet of the faculty of Purdue I'm
iversity for the reconstruction of the
city's sewer system. His fee for the
work, which will require several years
to complete. must not exceed 81, 900.
He will be assisted by six civil en-
gineers, and the city will expend sever
al hundred thousand dollars in con
structing the new system.
