The child labor law provides for the
detail Of two police officers looking to the
enforcement of that statute. The efforts
of the police assigned to this work have
been SO effectual that the Commissioners
would recommend the repeal Of the clause

their services can be utilized In more inn
portant directions and details can be
made from time to time as needed for the
enforcement of the child labor law.

We would esp ecially call the attention
of Congress to the fact that with the
establishment Of the District OF Columbia
workhouse at Occuquan. If the. best re-
suits are to be obtained. the renal cod 2
of the District SHOULD be revised. The
short sentences of fifteen days should be
eliminated by a law giving the courts
authority to sentence for an indefinite
period. With this change society would
receive far greater protection and the
inmates be benefited more by their stay

under the appropriation made by Con-
gress. The Playground Association has
for years been seeking to have the adj
nninistratfon of the Fairgrounds directly
under the official control Of the Com
missioners. This desire has been met
by Congress during the past season. and
1t now appears that this plan meets
with the approval Of the scitizens. and
is a highly commendable act upon the
part of Congress.

Strengthening and stiffening the Calvert
Street bridge over Rock creek. There Is
no doubt, however. that this bridge should
be replaced at an early date by stronger
and more ornamental structure, and the
Commissioners have included In their es-
Inmates an item looking toward the prep
Earation Of plans for such structure.
Plans are being prepared for the con-
struction of a bridge across Rock creek
on the line of Q street. for which an ap-
preparation was made in the last DIS
trict appropriation act.
Four bronze tigers were placed AT each
side Of the entrances to the bridge over
Piney branch on the line of 18th street.
A concrete arch bridge of sixteen-foot
span. with rustic wallis. was built on
Beach drive In Rock Greek Park about g
half mile north Of Milk House, ford. and
a twelve-foot span reinforced concrete
arch was built on the same road about q
quarter of a mile above the ford.
On the driveway connecting 10th street
with the Beach drive, at Military road

ly watchful in guarding the rights
Of the masses against the classes.
Legislation at this period of our civ
lllzat1on can easily handicap one
class Of citizens and give ADVANTAGE
to another class, so subtly and so
astutely as to hardly be noticeable
by the great masses of the people,
For instance, when land was ONLY
hVe dollars an acre the modest far
mer, III spite Of unfriendly Iegisla-
ton, could succeed in measure; but
now with land from forty to seventy
five dollars an acre and the cost of
living increased at the same ratio,
legislation, even slightly unfriendly
to the agricultural classes, places
the humble hOme-seeeker at a great
disadvantage when competing with
the rest of our citizens.
likewise the rights of the great
army of industrial toilers should be
guarded by our lawmakers with I'M
sWerving loyalty to duty. Our laws
should be SO framed, and our public
servants SO inspired with an unselfsh
zeal to administer them honestly.
that all business, whether CONNER
cial, agricultural or industrial,
should be equally protected
And, my fellow citizens, after
long study and close observation, I
am Of the opinion, as l stand here
tonight with fifty years behind me,
that the future success of the grand
old Empire State Of the South, as
we'll as the success of our sister
States, depend solely upon the true
principles of democracy, honestly
and fearlessly administered by pub
lie servants, with an eye single to
the uplifting of our people, rather
than to the promotion of personal
ambition. Under the ample folds of
the old democratic flag there is room
for every honest soldier whose aims
are his country's welfare, and whose
ambition is to help build for future
generations the greatest common
wealth beneath the stars, but I'M
der her ample folds there is no room
for factionists and feudists and de-
signing politicians interested solely
in furthering their own personal
ends"
The affair was purely social, and,
as have said, highly enjoyed. The
only reference to politics being made
by Hon. J. d. Fitzpatrick, who at the
close of a very brilliant address and
after enumerating the hardships
that Mrs. Russell must have suffered
by the reason of the fact that he had
been her former teacher and that
Judge Russell was her husband, de-
clared that he thought that everyone
present would agree that she ought
to be the first lady of the State of
Georgia. This sentence was received
with deafening applause.
