FACTORY FATALITIES DECREASE.
Are Twenty Per Cent Fewer In 1908
Than the Preceding Year so
Saws Mr., Van Duyn.

Des Moines, Aug. 29.-Fatal &C
cidents decreased 20 per cent in Iowa
factories during the years 10000, &C.
cording to the biennial report to be
made by State Labor Commissioner E.
w, Van Duyn to Gov. B. F. Carroll.
Figures in the report show that 81
fatal accidents and 2,485 non-fatal &C
cidents occurred. Machinery not
properly guarded" is the cause Of most
fatalities. The general improvement
is commented on, but 1t says there
are many unnecessary and easily a
voidable injuries inflicted upon work;
men,
During the year 1908 there were 661
inspections made and in 1909 1873, or
total Of 2,4S0 The total number OF
employees in the factories inspected
numbered 1886. OF these 59,425
were man and boys over 10 years,
1871 were women and girls and 1,0S6
were boys and girls between IA and 16
years Of age.
Commentator of the new child
labor law is made by Commissioner
Van Duyn. He says that the statute
putting the burden of proof of age on
the employer has been beneficial. The
system of furnishing age certificates
is also praised.
This amendment to the law has
practically eliminated the use Of child
labor under IA years of age" is the
sentence with which the report sums
up the situation.
Many figures have been gathered in
the report from wage earners, but the
percentage which answered the queries
was relatively small, so the results
are of little value. Only $40 wage
earners replied to the questions. Out
of 446 men, 276 were employed full
time and ITO reported idle time vary
ing from eighteen days to six months.
Out of twelve women, nine, or Is per
cent gave an average rate off wages
as $595.44 year.
The average hours per day OF these
men wage earners was given as 9.97.
The twelve women averaged SO hours.
From the 507 men, 346 were discov.
cred who carried life insurance, the
average amount being s1,989.05. Five
of the dozen women carried life in
surance, the average policy. being
$1,000. From the male reports it was
found that 278 had fire insurance poll
cies averaging $1,205.90 each. Forty
six per cent of the men owned their
homes or had equities in same. One
of the twelve women owned her home.

Too Many Pardons.
many years

At the meeting of the State Boord of
Pardons, held in New Orleans Monday, a
long list of pardons was recommended,
among them that of Madden Bush, who
slew a man in Shreveport. In some in
stances pardons are not difficult to obtain,
and that fact, which is universally known,
is the cause often of the mob. A jury of
twelve men, good and true, who try case,
getting the evidence at first hands, is more
capable of meeting out justice to crimi-
nal than Board of Pardons
The pardon of Madden Bush is travesty
on justice, and the public is at loss to
understand upon what grounds the MUIR
derer is to be given his liberty. He killed
his victim in cold blood. There was not an
extenuating bit of evidence adduced at his
trial to sustain his act. He was sentenced
to the penitentiary for life, yet his confine-
ment has been reduced to three and q half
years, Life is too cheap in Louisiana now,
and it will become cheaper SO long as the
Pardoning Board relieves criminals of their
punishment as freely az it is now doing

Hardships Of Confederate Soldiers.

Hardships of Confederate Soldiers.
Capt. George E. Brewer, in Confederate veteran.l
General Black while commander of the
Grand Army of the Republic said to me that
Johnston's campaign from Dalton to At
lanta had no parallel in the worlds history
for consummate skill and brave achieve
ment and he ought to know, for he was one
of Sherman's generals in the campaign.
Valley Forge bore but little comparison to
the patient endurance of hardships of the
Confederate soldiers who worked and
fought their way from Nashville to Tupelo.
Very many of them utterly barefooted and
but few with shoes that would protect their
feet, they left their tracks in blood cut from
bare feet by frozen ground. Numbers had
only the back of pant legs dangling be-
hind, the front scorched off trying to dry
and warm around the camp fires at night
after plodding all day in rain and sleet and
mud. The next morning the mud was
frozen, gashing their feet, while their legs
looked blue as the cold winds chafed them.
Without blanket, many of them coiled up
by the fire on the ground to forget in sleep
all this bitterness and to dream of wife and
babies. These barefooted fellows when
chance permitted would take parts of green
hides from beeves and make moccasins;
but these would soon be thrown away, for
the hard wrinkles formed as the skins dried
chafed continuously, and we're worse than
the occasional cut. With all the suffering
and restitution seldom was murmur
heard, and often jest made of what would
have tried the stoicism of an Indian. Never
was an army made of better stuff, and they
ought to command the veneration of every
lover of country.

the mountains, who said unto Zion, THY
God reigneth.''
If it is the genius of art, they can whisper
in pride and solace that thsy are of the
elect:
"In fields of air he writes his name,
And treads the chambers of the sky,
He reads the stars and grasps the flame
That quivers round the Throne on high"
There are aristocracies of literature,
beautiful intimacies of rich poor men into
which poor rich men cannot intrude. There
are naughty circles of cultivation from
which the buster, impudence and volubil-
ity of the street are shut out by inaccessible
Enclosures. The possession of wealth is
not fatal to passage through the needles
eye of the admitting gate, but precedence
is assigned according to proficiency in
literature, art, music and taste. A Samuel
johnson is epauletted, though at home he
may subsist on bread and tea; Charles
Lamb or Thomas Love Peacock is feted,
though his wealth may be the small salary
of clerkship. A stranger arrogant over
"a bank accouet, woman supercilious in
diamonds and rare laces, must learn to
humble themselves or be civilly dismissed.
1t is no place for the ostentation of things
which are there useless and discordant.
Into these high aristocracies the nobly
ambitious will strive to have membership.
He will perfect his faculty of song, color,
form, story-whatever it be-and his best,
his masterpiece, small as it is, he will bring
as his entrance fee. And always he will
be welcome if his spirit is kindred. If he
is only eclectic in talent, he will bring his
perfected appreciation, and, after all, that
may be the best Endorsement of his fitness
for companionship among the princes OF
intellect. He can bring information of
service among the poor or of experience in
the politics which makes government.
Every unselfish higher effort counts in his
reception.
Make living, seek wealth, spend with
common sense, rather than with ridiculous
carelessness of consequences; but look
most keenly for the comradeship of &C
complishments which thinks not of wealth,
but of the value of talents rewarded in
their own exercise. That is the higher OF
the two careers.

THE STATE PRESS.

Monroe NeWs-Star: How about certain
understood agreements, whereby q few
men continue to violate the law. These
facts may come out.
Assumption Pioneer: The members of
the State Board of Equalization are indeed
lucky. They are permitted to hold their
jobs without opposition.
New Orleans Times Democrat: Take
away the pothouse politicians patronage
and you at once scatter the birds of prey
who know no law but their appetites.
Monroe News-Star: Prof. Aswell was
named as president of the State Normal
School to succeed Prof. Caldwell, when the
latter was removed because of alleged
= crooked" financial transactions. Now,
if the charges of discrepancies in the ac-
counts Of Prof. Aswell are sustained, it
would seem that he was guilty Of the same
character Of crime charged against Prof.
Caldwell at the time of his appointment.
The irony of fate demonstrated again.
Ruston Leader: Twelve pardons were
recommended at the session Of the Pardon
ing Board in session this week. It does
not seem to be much trouble to get par
don in Louisiana, no matter how grievious
the crime that has been committed. The
Wholesale pardoning of criminals is one
reason that human life is cheap in this
State. A murderer has about five chances
to one of breaking into the penitentiary
and then he has about five chances to one
of getting pardon before he serves out
his sentence.
Iberville South: Mr.. Aswell is full of
theory but seems to have little practical
business acumen. Teachers, by the very
nature Of their calling, are not always
versed in business matters. Nevertheless
Mr.. Aswell has always insisted that the
management Of the schools Of the State
should be placed absolutely and exclusively
in the hands Of practical teachers. The
management Of the school system Of Lou
isiana is the most important business prop
osition that we have to deal with and it has
always appeared to US that business men
we're more desirable to direct and manage
the system than those who simply profess
to be teachers. The distressed financial
condition Of many Of the School Boards Of
Louisiana to-day is due directly to the dis
placement of business men with theorists.

sitions on the School Boards Of the State,

The Day Is Done.

The day is done and the darkness
Falls from the wings Of Night,
AS a feather is waited downward
From an eagle in his flight.
the lights of the village
Clean through the rain and the mist
And a feeling OF sadness comes DER me
That my soul cannot resist.
feeling OF sadness and longing,
That is not akin to pain
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Come read poem.
That shall soohe this restless feeling
And Danish the thoughts of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors Of Time
For, like strains of martial music.
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life's endless toll and endeavor,
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humble poet
Whose songs pushed from his heart.
As showers from the clouds of summer
Or tears from the eyelds start.
Who, through long days of labor,
Still heard in his soul the music
OF wonderful melodies.
Such T. songs ess{,. have C power cs to quiet
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty OF thy voice.
And the night shall be filed with music
And the cares that infest the day.
Shall fold their tents like Arabs,
And as silently steal away.
