The Fly, Fighting Market

The Fly-Fighting Market of Prescott urges the people to be. ware of the deadly fly. Don't buy foodstuffs where flies are tolerated. Butchers who do not wish to loose part of their trade will see to it that flies are not permitted in their markets. The people are coming to recog. nize the fly as a death bearing in. sect, and are stunning the mar. kets where they arc found.
 The common house fly is now known as the typhoid fly, and when the term becomes univer- sal, greater care will be exer. cised in protecting the home from its presence. Flies kill greater humber of human be- ings than all the beasts of prey and all the poisonous reptiles com bined, as they spread dis eases which slay thousands while beasts and reptiles kill sin gle victims.
 Butchers who have not given this matter serious considera. tion will see from this now how strongly their customers are being urged to avoid the places where flies nourish. We cannot afford to place our market in the list of interdicted places, so we keep out the flies and hold our trade.

WILL BEGIN ON
 DEPOT NEXT WEEK

The statement published last week that work on the new depot for Prescott would begin in two weeks is to be verified, as an or der has been made by tEe officials of the road to begin work at once. The first step will be the moving of the old structure to some point along the track, where it will be used until the new one is finished.
 The exact location of the structure has not been fully de cided. The company will open up Main stl eet I rovided the city council will condemn the street in front of Sam-O. Logan s ware house and give it to the railroad company. The station will re- quire 600 feet, which will neces- sitate the closing of a street
 The council will consider the proposition.
 The plans of the building are in the hands of Mr. Greeson, and show most creditable structure. The depot proper will be 204 feet long, with a 16 foot pavilion at each end. A 400 foot con- crete platform will extend on each side, the east side to be used for the Iron Mountain trains, and the west side for the P. & N. W. trains, the tracks of the latter road to be extended a. long West Front street from the junction to the new station.
 There will be ample office rooms, baggage rooms, waiting rooms, and a separate room for

Mrs, Richardson Congratulated on a Success
Children on the Stage and a Managerial Attack
on the Child Labor Ld,Os of the Several States

many other things were done for them. TO
this society answered that Il was not right
20 rob the child of his birthright; II the
business could not be conducted without
piilaging the cradle TO produce a profit,
that business had better terminate. And
society is quite likely TO make reply to the
managers now agitating for amendment TO
the laws SO as to exempt the stage from
their operation, that plays that can not
be produced without violating the child
labor laws might better be left u%nplayed.
-
II is easy to reason that certain children
are comfortably surrounded and we'll cared
for on the stage, but this does not abate
the fact that others are not. II one mana
ger is TO be permitted to employ children,
all managers must be granted the privilege.
Then, II the child may work In tho theater

employment is Just as necessary in the one
case as in the other. IL may seem a far
cry from the we'll fed and warmly clothed
little chap who gets SIS a week for spend

by every attribute OF modern luxury and

miserable of toll that he may add a dollar
or two a week to the sum on which the
family ekes out it's pltiable existence. The
same principle applies in both cases,
though; the boy is employed by the mana
ger OF the theater and the manager Of the

been necessary TO enact child labor laws
TO prevent the exploitation Of innocent
babes by interruptions employers. The
struggle Of society against greed In this
respect has been a long and difficult march
Of right c%ontending against wrong. the
latter strongly entrenched behind those
bulwarks that great wealth alone can
raise. It has been marked by bitterness
and the heart-ache OF millions of mothers,
who have seen their little ones go daily
and nightly into the NAV Of Mammon,
all In the name OF civilization and progress.
one OF the most pathetic scenes in the
long record of the struggle Is the picture
Of John Mitchell. the great head of the
coal miners OF North America, standing
in the midst of a group Of women, who
pleaded that their little sons might be al
lowed to 90 into the coal mines, the pits
and the breakers, and work. IF they
cannot work. we must starve,'' urged
these women. And John Mitchell, know
Ing the truth of the assertion, was com
PEELED to turn against the mothers. THESE
boys must have their chance was his
answer, and until they have attained the
legal age, they will not be allowed to
work" Other provision was made, and
the mothers did not starve. In the great
cotton mills of the south today hundreds
Of puny little rats Of children are taught
10 leap into spindle bins and other hiding
places to evade the factory inspectors, that
they may be permitted TO spend their
~babyhood days In weary toll, their little
lives being ground out and turned into
dividends. Glass factories and steel mills,
shoe shops and clothing factories, and all
manner OF Industrial occupations claimed
each year a toll OF childhood until the
total became a disgrace to man. And
the laws were passed to remedy this, and
are still being strengthened to make them
the more effective. Society generally has
decreed that the baby shall be permitted
TO grow up and pass through childhood
unimpeded by the menace OF work that
stunts both mind and body. This is a due
of society as well as of the child.
.
Who shall say the work OF the stage was
not contemplated when the child labor law
was passed? 1t Is true, perhaps, that the
requirements OF the theater do not APP
proach in rigor or hardship the life of a
child in the mill or mine, but it is none
the less a toll from which the child should
be spared. 1t is true, perhaps, that the
child on the stage is we'll paid, or that its
parents are we'll paid for the use of the
child-for the law still turns the earning
Of the child over to the parent. 1t will be
admitted that the life Of the child on the
stage is pleasant and may be healthful.
But the same argument has been advanced
by each and every one Of the employers
who were deprived OF the privilege OF ex-
plotting the babes of the country. 1t was
urged tina care was given the children they
did not get at home, that they were af'
forded educational advantages, and thai

coal mine for the one purpose OF producing
a profit. In the case OF the coal mine the
owner was compelled by law to engage
en- older and stronger boy 70 do the work.
In the case Of the thester the same course
is being pursued.
The child on the sage is but q bit Of
modern realism; not a great many plays
require the actual presence Of children, and
those that do Introduce them Just as GER
tain managers have presented chickens and
pigs and other domestic animals In barn
yard scenes, for the purpose OF creating
an atmosphere Of realism. Last summer
a COW was hoisted to the roof Of one OF
New York's great theaters, and there In
the roof garden drama each night his
bcssy was MIXED by a maid especially
engaged, to the immense satisfaction Of
great throngs, and the manager was much
praised for his cleverness at achieving
such a bit OF realism For the same
reason living babies have been toted across
the stage by mothers who knew nothing
Of motherhood. Just to make II seem real"
and children have been employed with the
same object, Much drlvel has been written
at times Of this or that child actor when
the very truth Is that the child Is not an
aclor' couiu not DC III aCtOI' aHu' Ut ths
great majority Of cases, WREN grown, did
not become an actor. This is written with
due mlndfulness Of the wonderful stage
children, such as Maude Adams. who have
developed into actors OF owe and ex-
oulsite ability. The play that depends on
the presence Of a child for its success is
not serving any good purpose. The child
is being excluded from the workshops. the
mills, the store, the mines and the flelds.
and should be excluded from the stage.
The theater Is a place for grown-ups, and
men and women ought TO be just a little
above expecting a child to be deprived Of
any part of its childhood to amuse them.
The blue laws" complained Of by the firm
of managers referred to are not blue"
enough II they can be evaded by any
manager who desires TO exhibit a child.

moods and lenses Of bohemian life with

'Arsene Lupin," one OF the real sue
cesses OF the New York season, will be
the opening bill at the New Brandeis be-
ginning on March 8. Lupin is the arlsto-
cratic william of the theater who just now
is attracting the most attention. Like
RaffIes, he reflects in f~iction-ever a most
sensitive mirror to the moods Of society
something of a difference in the social
attitude toward the criminal For society
is now rather lees stern toward moral and
legal lapses than has been it's won't, and
INDUCES in considerable sympathy with the
under dog. SO now the rogue in the de-
tective play gets the benefit of a romantic
robe, more or less ragged, and is allowed
to outwit his pursuer. But Arsene Lupin
is as unlike Raffles in every other particu-
lar as the Gallo temperament is unlike
the Anglo-Saxon. He is a Partisan Of
Parisians, and his gayety, his cleverness,
his airy unconcern over his actions and
their consequences are an inherent part Of
the picture. William Courtenay, who has
the title role in "Arsene Lupin," has re-
ceived from the authors of the play their
photographs, autographed effffusively in
the French fashion. He has also received
from Francis de Croisset, who wrote the
original sketches on which the play is
based, &S,opy OF the stories which appeared
first as serials in a Paris newspaper, and
now have been put in book form. Maurice
lie Blanc, who elaborated with De Crois-
set on the drama, is a practical playwright
with a reputation heretofore confined
chiefly to France.
