ACCUSES SUGAR COMPANY.
Colorado Man Says They Keep EN-
ployes in State Of Peonaue,

Washington, Dec. 7.-Depicting
conditions in the sugar beet fields of
Colorado as approaching peonage,
James Bodkin of Mead Colo, told the
so-called sugar trust investigation
committee of the house that the EN-
ployes were kept in state OF bond
age. His statement caused mild
sensation.
Mr.. Bodkin described a system of
contract labor in the Colorado fields
and detailed the hardships he charged
were inflicted on the working people
recruited by the Great Western Sugar
company. He said that man, his
wife and several children, ranging
from s years upward, would put in
from 10 to l6 hours a day at back
breaking work, which an American
would sCorn to do.
With such farm logic Mr. Bodkin
expressed his contempt for the city
chaps who We're sent by the sugar
company to oversee it's operation. He
also criticized the newspapers in his
section of the country.
The committee took great interest
in his description of "slum labor"
Democrats, led by Representative
Raker of California, sought to show
by the witness that the tariff pro-
lection levied in the name of Amer
lean labor did not reach down to the
Russians and Hindus who worked in
the Colorado beet fields.

not descend to the labor.

Who is to Blame

Francis Willard once said that
Every body's example should be
safe for others to follow" This
made profound impression on
the writer, though she does not
claim to have successfully
wrought the blessed statement
into action. But we are so glad
that so many feel this way, and
especially THOSE who have the
interest of the children at heart.
Judge Wilkin of the Junevile
court of Brooklyn has this to say
about cigarettes: The boy is adj
dicted to the use of cigarettes.
Who is to blame for it? Is ciga-
rettsesmoking harmful? If we
say, not to an adult, but it may
be to a child, why do we critisize
him who smokes cigarettes?iAnd
when shall it be determined what
is the proper age when cigarette
smoking is reputable and when
it is disreputable?
(Listen) Can we expect the
children of con- munity to at

that of the body polite? Must
