CHILDLABOR

The Senate received from the com mittee on labor. yesterday, report favorable to an investigation of the conditions under which women and children are employed in this state The statistics for mercantile establish ments are sadly deficient, but one person in every three industrially em- ployed, that is to say in manufactur- ing plants, is a woman.
 During the year ending Dec 31, factories. They earned in the aver age not more than SC a week each.
 Of children under 16 years 4,301 were employed in factories alone, the number having increased 26 per cent. during the five years from 1900. In the same period the number of men employed increased but 20 per cent. and the number of women but 15 per cent. A most alarming fast, since it is admitted that long hours of em- ployment at a tender age, are highly injurious to the individuals effected, and since the tendency seems to be to replace the labor of adults with the labor of children. The average pay of these children Has about s4 per week.
 Connecticut has been inclined to regard the child labor problem as !. something remote and Southern, but in three New England states there has been a remarkable and danger ous increase in this kind of employ ment. The states are Connecticut. Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
 Since, during the period discussed, 132,7s0 men, over 16 years of age were industrially employed, and since their average weekly earnings were but little more than $10 and since some earned more than s1o, some, and undoubtedly many, must have earned less.
 There is evidence to show that in many cases the earning power of the fasass ,a .asl Ins-re than the Asrnins power of two children, and but little more than the earning power of the mother.
 The facts are disturbing, and one of the chief problems before the com appointed is that of establishing how far the earnings of smales are de- preciated by the growing employment of women, boys and girls.
 If it should appear that in thou sands of cases a man. his wife and a child are only able to earn collective ly what were formerly the wages If a man there will be food for reflec- ton for a tendency is put in being which must be disastrous to industry

JACOB RIIS FLAYS YELLOW JOURNALISM
Special from United Press. )

New Haven,May 4--Writing on jour- nalism to the Yale News, Jacob Riis, the philanthropist and author, told the collegians to stick to their ideals and refuse to part with them at the cash ier's desk.
 'The newspaper profession today" said Mir. Riis, needs young men who vii put the moral above the material who will read into the news Of the day the human struggle to throw off the fetters of ignorance of greed and of selfishness. It needs young men with nerve who will drag from it's edi- .e-;al eeet the devil of sneering cynic- ism that has done more to debauch and degrade our people than even the yellow sensationalism of the press and who, rather than be drafted into it's service for fifty dollars d week Will get along on fifteen and stay hon. eSt'
 Then, said Mir. Riis, "the metropoli- tan press which has almost altogether lost the influence it had with the peo- pie in Horace Greeley's day will come back into its own.''

itself in the long run.
 American manufacturers make things to sell to the American people. The purchasing power of the Ameri- can people is measured by the wages t.a wors&Fs receive. A violent cur tailing of wages, without a cores bonding reduction in the price of Uarket and diminished market spells stagnant business with fre- quently recurring panics.
 Let us not kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Also let us inquire if we are doing injury to the race. by stunting the growth of children, or by injuring the health of the pros pective mothers of those upon whom the state must hereafter lean.

TWO OF SAME NAME
Coroner Vineent, by Letters, Estab-
fishes That There Were Two Louis
]. Firms In North Dakota.

Additional letters to Coroner vim
cent have established the fact that
there were two men of the same name
In North Dakota and in the same VII
cinity at about the same time and
neither knew the other. Also the let
| ters tend to establish the fact that
the man from Mapleton, NJ. D., who
was accidentally drowned while riding
horse In he Northern Pacific reser-
voir east Of Dilworth last week was
one Louis j. Finn and that dle had rel
atives in Chicago and Brooklyn, NJ. Y.
day or two ago the coroner re-
cefved letter from G.. J. Finn Of Car
penterville, ILL.,, making enquiries for
his brother, Louis J. Finn, Of whom
the writer sent description, but the
latter did not correspond with the body
OF the dead man at the A. ]. Wright
81 Sons morgue. Later Coroner Vim
cent has received a second letter from
Mr. Finn of Carpenterville saying that
the dead man could not be his brother,
as he had just received letter from
him to the effect that he was alive
and well, and this correspondence
establishes the fact of there being two
men Of the same name and both hap
pened to be in North Dakota about
the same time.
Coroner Vincent is still waiting to
hear from the relatives Of the dead
man as to the disposition OF the body
OF the man who was drowned.

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS.
Appeal to Finance the Expenses of the
Season,

Season.
The athletic board of the Moorhead
high school finds II necessary to ask
the friends Of the high school to help
out in meeting the expenses for the
season. The fact that we have no
inclosed field makes it very difficult
to collect at the game and the result
is that IL is impossible to collect at
games enough to meet half of the ex-
penses. This makes 1t necessary to
raise money outside of the games by
the sale Of season tickets and by
subscription. Please remember that
1t is most difficult task for us to So
licit for this money and not only sub
scribe as literally as you can but en-
courage the committee by a good
word.
Professor Zimmerman and his
rooters committee has been doing
some good work in creating enthus-
iasm for the team. You must come
to the games and hear their school
yells and song to fully appreciate
this.
