The States Workers.
LoNell CCurier-CitiZen.)

(LONell CGurler-(ltlZen.)
There are about 10000 persons listed
as working for the state in the rook
just published under a law Of the re-
cent Legislature. There has been
something of a howl for this publica-
ton, but now that it is out what is to
be done about it. Will it be shown
that the state is hiring more help
than ii needs to do its work" If that
is shCWn. what then? More than half
the employees are engaged in caring
for the criminal and directive classes,
in prisons. hospitals. aSylGms and 9TH
or institutions. The state could get
along with fewer attendants if the
number to be attended could be re-
duced. hut unfortunately there is no
prospect OF that result. The next
largest number If employees works
for the Metropolitan Park Commits
sion. which needs Il lot of hands.
There are others in the lightweight
departments listed in the book with
large paNrolls. Possibly the pubica-
ton NAV indicate where reductions in
the force may be made to advantage.
If so. and the opportunity is awaited
of. its compilation will be of practical
value.

The author tells us in manner
that will pelase both young ana "i"
how the dauntless lads of Lakeport
got their big touring car how they
went on a long trip through the
mountains. and how they won great
race Early in the story a mystery
of most peculiar nature IS intro
duccd, and this increases as the tale
proceeds There are likewise a thrill
ing ride down steep mountain road,
and the details Of saving the costly
automobile when the garage in which
it was stored took fire Some mean
fellows were jealous because they did
not own the car and once they de-
camped with it, carrying it on a fiat
boat to an island in a lake. Mr..
Stratemeyer whose books are the

Trade Opportunities South of Us.

one of the strongest arguments put
forth by New Orleans in favor of
holding an international exposition in
that city, to celebrate the completion
>of the Panama Canal. is that the
foreigners to the south of us rather
look upon such an exposition as an en-
terprise of their own Just as they
are expecting great things from the
operation OF the Panama Canal The
Creole city claims that great numbers
of them will visit the states and that
there will be an excellent opportunity
Ia cultivate substantial business re-
latiOns with them
1t is true that there is an immense
field for commercial cultivation in
Central and South America 1t is also
true that we are powerless to prevent
Europeans from making conquest of
this territory If We do not exercise
every facility within our means and
cultivate closer acquaintanceship with
the needs of our southern neighbors,
England and Germany have almost
monOpolized the great bulk Of trade in
this field. With such an opportunity
as the opening up of the canal and the
Improvement of our southern ports to
meet the demands of larger commercial
interests, we should increase our foot
mold in this territory and build up Il
trade that will be beneficial both to
them and to us.

enacted legislation, IS attributable to a
political coalition of Catholics ana
Socialists Only a fractional part of
the cases of detected violations are
brought to trial. and in these cases the
fines imposed average about one dol
lar. In Belgium, one-fourth of the
child laborers under sixteen years of
age, either get no money at all or earn
less then ten cents per day.
In France, the enactment of new
labor laws has proceeded much more
rapidly than provisions for their en-
forcement If every establishment
subject to the laws We're to be in
spected once a year. each inspector
would have to visit 4265 concerns.
Among the most frequent and most
fragrant violators of the rules gov
erning child labor are religious and
charitable institutions, such as or
get no wages, and are worked over
time under conditions violating not
only the law but the ordinary rules of
hygiene, and in which lamentable pro-
vision is made for their education.
Germany's industrial code regulat
ing the employment Of child laborers
is recognized as having not so much
abolished child labor as having forced
it out of factories into home industry.
In Italy the whole institution of fac
tory labor inspection is of 50 recent
date, and so poorly organized. that it
may be said to be n-existent. In
Switzerland, conditions do not differ
very essentially from those prevailing
i'm Germany and France.
The report, as a whole. leaves the
| impression that child labor laws are
exceedingly difficult of enforcement
and that the European public is too
prone to regard legislation alone as a
| cure for alleged social evils. The de-
vices employed to circumvent the law
are much the same the world over. but
! III America the people as a whole have
| Il different understanding of such con-
ditions and Il better appreciation of

| found in the factories under the age
] limit provided by our laws, they are
paid wages which add to the family
IcXchequer and provide them not only
| with good, wholesome living, but
clothing as well and an early notion of

which are not available in Continental

The vines had been planted on many

they had protested against any
change The Pre- sident decided that

STOCK TRAIN CRASHES INTO
HACK AT CROSSING ON
FIFTH STREET.
Train was Going Over Fifteen Miles
an Hour and Gates Refused to Work
Has Long Been Public Menace.

The Fifth street crossing, which
has long been d public menace, was
the scene of what might have been
a fatal accident Tuesday noon when
a stock train crashed into one OF
Hinckley's hacks, killed both the
horses ald splntered the conveyance
and badly injured the driver and an
o( vupant.
The train was exceeding the speed
WAS said to have been travelling at a
rate OF over fifteen miles an hour.
Several people spoke OF the tremend
GUS speed OF the train before they
even thought that there would be an
accident. In conjunction with this
unlaT full rate OF speed of the train,
the gates at the crossing did not
work and was thus devoid of any
protection whatever.
The driver of the hack in question,
Hans Olson, was driving from the
south side of the track toward town.
He was accompanied by John Gar
rett, who was on the box with him.
There was Il stock train approaching
from the west, AID it was not visible
because OF intervening freight cars on
the siding until the track was reach
ed. When Olson saw the gates up
he imagined that the track was clear
and drove ahead. AS he was about
on the track he saw the stock train
bearing down upon him at a terrific
rate of speed. He Immediately pulled
his horses around in an endeavor to
turn them from the track before the
engine reached them. They had just
gotten turned when the pilot struck
the rear of the hack and knocked it
along the tracn ahead of it. The en-
ginecr of the stock train applied
brakes at once anu made wonderful
stop. But the hack had been crush

The importers used to kick sometimes
about underweighing. If took Oft

Hyland said he sometimes took of

sometimes did not weight cargoes at

The fact that Chas. Sellon, one OF
Bismarck's popular comedians, is at

to assure the production of a big
house, but when the announcement
that he is accompanied by forty win

Sellons has a laugh every minute

and while he is '*Off'' there is an able
