The national child labor commits
sion, after a thorough investigation,
has proved that the lives of thou
sands of boys have been ruined
because of their duties as night
messengers.
Some of the duties of the boys,
according to Leroy Scott, who de-
scribes the investigation in Success
magazine, are to buy liquor for
patrons when saloons are closed to
call on gambling houses; to SHOW
the town" to strangers; to carry
notes from women of the town to
their friends; to carry food and
drink from restaurants; to act as
ladys maid; to buy opium. NOR
phine and other drugs, and to Sc
cure knockout drops for women who
rob men.
The service which patrons ask of
boys is often so degrading that they
decline to submit, but familiarity
with vice at times overcomes their
scrupleS.
The night messenger service
maintains itself by serving the I'M
derworld, for the office hours of evil
business are at night. In many cit
les the Investigators of the national
commission found that they could
hire boys to buy drugs or to lead
strangers to evil resorts; the mes
sengers knew all the leaders in vice
in the tenderloin districts and these
leaders trust them, because the
motto of a messenger boy is Never
squeal."
aren't these people afraid to
have you buy knockout drops for
them" a New York messenger boy
was asked.
ooh, no." was the answer. "Our
uniform guarantees and protects us
at the same time. People know they
can ask me to do anything, and
mustn't tell anybody else about
what do. That is why the girls
send me out for hop (opium) and
red pills (knockout drops) and that
is why the Cinnamon will sell them
to me-"

pills."

plank of the platform that the
press of the country accorded the
most comment, has not been real
lied by legislation, other and more
important planks have gone into
effect In the first month of the

following reforms have been eff

The trolley service has been

A municipal plumbing shop has
been established.
The legal department has ar
ranged to give free legal advice to

Short-hour "snaps" in city SER

Free public dances in public
school buildings.
A free municipal ice plant.
Tho substitution of one expert
engineer for the four men consti-

works.
The appointing of a health ex-

the authorities are adopting a feat
