THIS is MY GOTH BIRTHDAY
James F. Morrison.

James F. Morrison, builder of the
worlds first long distance telephone,
was born in st. Johns, n. B., April
IS, 1S41. In his youth he taught
himself biography and during the
civil war became an operator for the
B. & o. railroad. While acting as
manager of the telegraph Office in
Baltimore he applied himself dill
gently to the study Of electricity
After reorganizing the fire alarm sys-
tenn in Baltimore and constructing
the first long distance telephone line,
210 miles, from Georgetown, D. c.,
to Cumberland, Md, Mr.. Morrison
became pioneer in the electric light
ing field. AS such he built the first
permanent lighting station in New
York. In later years he amasse1 a
large fortune in the promotion of
telephone and electric lighting and
power companies in many parts of
the country.

JOINT ACTION FOR AN OPEN
COLUMBIA.

Commercial organizations in cities
and towns along the Columbia in
Washington and Oregon should CO.
operate actively with the movement
which has been started in British
Columbia to make the Columbia
river an international highway for
commerce from Canada to Portland.
The prospect of the Canadian au-
thorities cooperating with the
American government in the i'm
provement of this river awakens
hope for the initiation of a move
ment which will bring immediate
results. 1t is difficult to conceive
the tremendous advantages that
would accrue to the residents of the
Columbia river basin were the do
minion government and the Ameri-
can government able to agree on a
plan to carry out simultaneously a
scheme for river improvement within
each jurisdiction.
1t is reported that a motion has
been introduced in the board of
trade of Nelson, B. c., proposing a
reciprocal plan of action. If so,
doubtless the local committee ap-
pointed recently by President King
to have in charge the question OF

aim and scope of the Canadian pro-
posal. This proposal is too import
ant to pass by unnoticed and with
out doubt, if joint action were taken
by COMMERCIAL organizations in each
Jurisdiction, the movement will as
sumo such Importance as to COM
mend itself to the attention of the
Canadian and federal authorities.

Now for the Future.

BY vote so decisive as to leave
no doubt of the sentiment of the peo-
pie, Lincoln decides to continue to
live without saloons. Strong as the
verdict is, some facts in this connec-
ton must be recognized in order that
this policy may not again be put In
jeopardy.
The verdice is against the open sa-
loon in Lincoln, nothing less and
nothing more.
It is not a blow at personal lib
erty. 1t is not a public declaration
against the drinking of liquor. 1t Is
not the recording of sentiment In
favor of a narrow or Puritanical pol
icy in the management of the pub
lie affairs of Lincoln.
1t means that Lincoln believes that
it is better to spend its money for
the blessings of life, not the stuff
that brings economic waste and a
social curse. and therefore refuses
to be a partner in the open saloon.
It makes this decision largely for
business reasons, after year Of trial
during which the effect on trade has
been diligently watched. The decis-
ion is reached, too, after contest III
which a large amount of money WAS
spent for the purpose of inducing the
city to change its policy.
All eyes will now turn toward the
future. The problem before the COM
munity is to so order its affairs that
10 temptation will be felt to over
turn the verdict recently rendered.

Mr.. Taft owes it to himself and to

The public never liked the overwhel-

Still less did the people like it that
many of these lawyers had been the

ANNUAL ELECTION OF ELKS
TO TAKE PLACE NEXT WEEK

The annual election of officers of
will take place at the meeting to be
held next Thursday evening, the time
having been changed under the new
constitution from the last to the first
meeting of the month of March. Moth
ing has been heard OF any new cam
didates for office and it is probable
that all the present officers will be re-
elected for another term. Exalted
Ruler Mayworm, Secretary Condor
and the other officers are filling their
first term, and during their incumben-
cy have managed the affairs OF the
lodge in n manner to win the heaItiest
approval and enforcement of all the
members. Frank Condor was elected
secretary a couple of months ago to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
made one of the most efficient secretar-
les that the lodge has ever mad. The
year has been n most successful one,
many new members having been add
ed, a large number of social affairs
having been successfully handled and
couple of amateur shows given, which
have proven highly successful finan-
cially The coming year promises &c
be full of activity, and it is expected
that big delegation of members will
go to Detroit to attend the annual
grand lodge convention which meets
there next July. The Hancock Elks
will wear mining caps, coats, lamps
and other equipment and arrangements
are being made for all the upper pen
insula lodges to travel together and
wear the same uniform, so as to make
a good showing in the convention par
ade.
All the Michigan lodges have been
asked to appoint representatives to
serve with the Detroit committees in
entertaining the visiting Elks from
other states, and the Hancock mem
bers of this committee will be deslg-
mated at the meeting next week.

washington, d. c., Feb. 25.-Ser-
ious charges, backed by a mass of
sworn testimony, against Charles p.
Neil. commissioner of labor, are in
the hands of Secretary Nagel, of the
department Of commerce and labor
and it is not unlikely that the matter
may lead TO another congressional in
vestigation.
Gross incompetency is the general
charge made against Mr.. NELL. and
the more specific allegation is that his
bureau has squandered appropriations
aggregating 100000 in collecting a
great amount of data pertaining to
certain Investigations which he has
been authorized to conduct, which
data, it is further alleged, he has re-
fused to use and has been either alter
ed or destroyed because it did not
conform to his preconceived notion of
what it should prove.
For a long time there has been talk
in Washington Of the alleged ineffi-
cheney of the commissioner of labor
and his failure to make reports upon
the work and Investigations which his
bureau has been directed to under
take.
The charges pending with Secre-
tary Nagel against Mr.. NELL were
brought last September by Major
Thomas r. Dewley, formerly special
agent of the labor bureau engaged In
making important Investigations. The
secretary appointed Assistant Secre-
tary Benjamin j. Gable and Charles
Sarl. the solicitor of the department
to hear the evidence and make re-
port. Their report is now In the pos
session of Secretary Nagel.
The entire matter grows out of ar
elaborate speech which Senator Bev-
The Calumet news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 1907-1938, 1910-02-25

eridge of Indiana made In the senate
on January, 1907, upon woman and
child labor He charged that little
children by the thousands were being
murdered every year by work in mills
and factories. The cotton mills of
New England and the south. the silk
mills of New Jersey, the glass fac
tories of Pennsylvania and the cloth
ing sweat shops OF New York and
Chicago were specialized as the places
where children were suffering these
hardships.
AS result of Mr.. Beveridge's
speech congress appropriated $4,000
and directed the bureau of labor TO
make an investigation of the condition
of woman and child labor. Later this
amount was found to be insufficient
and another $15O,OOO appropriation was
made. That was three years ago and
nothing in the way OF a report has
ever been forthcoming from the bu-
reau.
Now comes the charge that the in
vestigation made did not develop the
facts which 1t was started out TO
prove and lid not bear out the pre-
conceived hypothesis of Commissioner
Neill. and that in consequence much
OF the data for which the 100000 was
expended has been cast aside as use
less. while a further effort is being
made to prepare something which viii
show what the commissioner wanted
to prove. namelp that child labor laws
were being violated and that a horrible
condition of affairs existed in the
mills and factories OF the country, and
especially in the cotton mill industry

named by Mr.. Nagel that Mr.. NELL

rather than upon facts.
