Two years ago. one of Topeka's fam

On the Tragedy of Child
Labor

what childhood is meant for by the
Creator, viz, innocent pleasures.
Great Men Work Hard.
1t has been argued that most of
our great men were obliged to work
hard in their childhood. BENJAMIN
Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and MANY
others can be quoted who were early
compelled to take burdens on mind
and body. Yet these men never worked
In mills, or in mines, or in factories,
shut away from the sunlight and the
air, and subjected TO the nerve rackins
sounds and conditions of modern child
slaves.
I saw children Of tender ages work
ing eight and 10 hours day weaving
rugs in India and other Oriental coun-
tries. But their situation, even con-.
sidering the very small recompense
they receive, is less distressing than
that of our children in the mills and
mines Of America
ALL work in the Orient is virtually
done out Of doors; and the climate
compels the people. old and young, to
obtain the Benefits Of sun and air.
Knowing how miserable are the condi-
lions Of our great factories and mills.
for physical and mental well being
of growing children, it seems incredi-
bic that any man can write himself
down a violent opponent to the free
dom and education of our little ones.
as has done Francis B. Livsey, Of
Clarksson, Nd.
Here is Mr.. Livsey's letter to the
editor of the Tennessee American:
Nov that your state has passed a
child labor law most pleasing to the
National Child Labor committee Of
New York City, the next proposition
will be for the passage of the law that
always goes with it, compulsory edu-
cation.
with these two passed, your state
will develop into all the child idleness.
Juvenile crime, abandoned farms, aban-
doned homes and lack of parental au-
thority that is witnessed in the states
of the north and west.

Rs We have been in the mill"
Some years ago I visited a cotton
mill In Georgia. 1t was one of the
best conducted mills In the south, and
there was a school in connection with
1t, giving the children advantages it
was claimed they did not receive on
the desolate farms Of the south from
which they came.
Yet the sight was depressing in the
extreme, as the sight of children work
ing eight or 10 hours day must al
ways be depressing to any one pos
sessed of sensibilities. understanding

Great was his amazement when he
learned that everybody had right
to interfere in the United States with
any man who misused his animals or

If compulsory education does mean
the disruption OF the home when that

the form of child labor in. unsanitary
and noisy mills and the loss of the best
years of childhood for physical and
mental growth.
Children As Slaves.
It is only hundred years ago when
a prominent member of parliament in
England made an impassioned speech
much in the same line with the gov
ernor's letter opposing the bill to free
children under II years OF age from
working IA hours day in dark mines!
Several children had died and others
had been brought out fainting from
the underground prisons, when brave
huma unitarian introduced bill to allow
no children under IA in the mines and
TO limit their hours to 10.
The noble member of parliament, in
tears, spoke of the terrible crime Of
interfering with parental authority.
Thank God the world is growing
more enlightened and that men like
the member of parliament, like COVER
nor Blease and like Francis Livsey are
SO in the minority today that they
