Friday when 14-year-old Harold VIII

Police Justice Jeffries, Monday morn
ing. issued a warrant against Sebas-
tian 8. Kresge. head OF the establish
ment, charging him with violating the
child labor law In employing the Will
cox boy. The complainant Is Deputy
State Factory Inspector Walter w.
Anhut.
This action on the part of the fac
tory inspectors is likely to serve as a
warning to other employers Of child
labor. Already the boys death and
the publication OF the fact that he had
no working papers Is having its effect.

he would have to go home and get his
working papers. The Wilcox boy was
killed about $50 o'clock and II was
shortly after 9:15 o'clock when young
Tanton called at the factory inspect

HENRY GEORGE SAYS WORK OF
TOLSTOY WILL LIVE FOREVER

Henry George jr., whose fathers
Progress and Poverty" stirred Tolstoy
to espouse the doctrine of single tax,
said:
TO me, from my personal contact
with him, he was nothing of the poser
or seeker for notoriety that cynical
world supposed, but an extraordinary
genius who left the pomp and pride OF
the life of the privileged classes to be-
gin at the physical beginning OF things,
to work out his own spiritual saliva
ton and thus show the way OF Christ.
as he conceived it, in vast country
OF primitive agriculture, surmounted
by luxurious and corrupt imperial
court, backed by a state church that
declared that things as they are II
this world are as they should be; tnat
the many shall sweat In an agony OF
Toll that the few may riot In luxury.
TO me Tolstoy has been one OF the
greatest spiritual powers Of the eartn
"a power greater now in death tnan
that Of the autocrat OF all the Russias'
HIS power was love-to help manklno }
greater power in his own Russia
than all the bayonets Of the car. Ioi
stoys spirit will still be fresh 10 the
hearts of Russians when the presen,
dynasty of czars has turned to dust.

HoMEsTEADERs 70 BLAME
FOR HIGH LIVING cosr

Chicago, Nov. 19.-The Tinted
states land irrigation exposition was
formally opened today. James wilson
secretary Of agriculture, delivered the
principal address. He declared that
the homesteader of the West is in
part to blame for the present high cost
Of living, and also predicted q return
to hard times under Democratic con
troll of congress.
The homesteader," he said, sis re-
ducing the field of operations OF the
ranchman. This is reducing the meat
harvest of the West and becoming
quite a factor in the cost of living"
Other causes, he said, were the great
immigration to this country and the
movement to the cities.
The recent tumble in prices of meat
he attributed to drought in the range
country and to the big corn and oat
crops.
He declared that much remains to
be done in improving the country's
farming conditions.

Owing to such management the

gradually decreased. Little intensive

but none of our Soils" he added,
"are beyond redemption. The soils of
the country are the greatest asset the
nation has,"
He spoke in glowing terms of the
work being done in the Southern
states in the way of offering prizes to
boys who would produce bumper crops
of corn, potatoes, tobacco and other
things.
SIT is only a question Of time" he
added, when the South will ship
cattle and hogs to the great centers OF
population and contribute toward the
food of our people. It has raised it's
maximum Of crops the last two years. y
All parts of the country, the East
particularly, he said, should produce
more of their own fruits. which, he
added, "are at home there but not
grown anywhere in sufficient quantity
to enable the people of the United
States to get fruit at reasonable prices.
Fruit just now is a luxury"
