WEDNESDAY. JULY IsC

Childhood is the period of lifes great
est enjoyment, and he who would de-
tract jot from the pleasure of it is
lift for treason and spoils." The
sending of her little boy or girl to
school at the age of six or seven years
is tragedy to a mother. Then, for
the first time in the career of the
slild, he is made to realize that he
has life's duties to perform. A mere
babe, he goes forth to learn the first
lesson concerning the great world
about him.
But still, while in school, the re-
sponsibility for his maintenance is
generally unknown to the child whose
lot is happily cast. But we must re-
member and commiserate the cases
of the others, unfortunately so many,
whose lives are shorn of the oppor-
tunity for more than a rudimentary
education and who are forced in their
infant years to 60 forth and battle for
the bread they eat.
We talk of the tragedy of old age,
or poverty, but there is greater
the tragedy of youth that is filled with
labor for existence. 1t is unex-
pressible 10 think for a moment of the
lives of little ones wasted that some.
great institution or some immense en-
terprise may 90 forward and reap
financial reward at the expense of
suffering children.
Children's lives and happiness ar,
something. A child should be as free
as the young colt in pasture to play
without interruption upon his chosen
fields and never until he attains tn,
age when manhood approaches,
should he be compelled to begin tht
grind that must be his, if he is of the
average, until death releases him.
Not, understand, that toll in it.
self is deplorable thing. Without
it man would be in the monkey stage
of existence Toll is pleasure to the
mature person who likes his work
but toll should have no place in the
early child lite. That should b,
filled with song. laughter, play ant
the Joy of living. Then. when matur,
years come on, work should be one,
play and the pleasure that the grow
ing child found in idle rompine
should become the pleasure that on,
takes in his chosen vocation. But
let us keep the children happy, un
worried and care-free as long as W,
may. They are only children for
short time-too short time. We
should have stringent laws for the
protection OF childhood against the
crushing force of greed, and then we
should enforce those laws TO the end
that in our own final years it may not
be said OF us, 'sYes. he made money,
but at the cost of crushed child-life.

AXE Third Also.

The Pioneers made three straights
from Lexington when they won again
Saturday by the score of ito l. This
was another good game, all OF the
scores being earned by good and time
ly hitting. Comstock was sent In
again to try and get even for his Wild
ness the day before. He was on his
good behavior and, but for lrcky
home run by Hall, would have gotten
away with shut.out. Stultz pitched
for the Colts, and slthO he was hit
rather freely no runs were scored
except in the fifth when single by
Baird three-bagger by Whitaker,
single by Dawson and a three-bat
ger by WOmbel scored three runs.

The crime season has arrived. Foi

We cant fight hot weather; we cant
