be longer drawn out than usual, and
it comes nearer to being a real

hope he enjoys the theory as much as
they do the beer.
Next to the war with Japan" the
Gigantic railroad strike" is the best
top-liner, space-filler and industrial
lingo. From Chicago comes the
latest report of the last named ca
lamity- which-is-to-be.
Cuba is making Uncle Sam feel as
though another spanking was due
her; a party of revolutionists have
been in New Orleans recently trying
to raise funds for another little rum
pus in the Island.
How can the missionaries from
America to China account for this
awful fall from grace? A dispatch
states that hundreds of babies are
being killed, sold and given away by
their parents" because the Chinese
rice crop is short.
This pardoning of a lot of Grim
mails at Christmas time may show
that the governors are chock full of
the milk of human kindness and
Christmas spirit and that sort of
thing, but isn't it rather rough on
Santa Claus to have to risk being
held up?
1t isn't really because of the effect
cigarettes have on the health of
their employees, which is prompting
so many railroad corporations to for
bid their use, but because of the
fires caused by the dropping of
stubs" in mail cars, and on the
plush seats of the coaches.

American Awarded Medal
On a Rupture Device

Mr. F. J. Stuart, an American residing
in ST. Louis, was recently awarded a
medal and diploma showing certificate
of merit of the first class, by a London
Institute. Mr.. Stuart is inventor of the
STUART PLAS-TR-PAD for rupture.
Letters patent have been granted by
many governments on this form of
Hernia support, and medicine applica-
tor. The purpose of this support is to
securely hold the rupture in place, and
remedy thereto, which will be taken up
and absorbed by the pores to heal and
relieve the parts of pain. When pat
Stuart also obtained the Medal and
Diploma. Truss Wearers will no doubt
appreciate an invention of such ex-
ceeding worth as to merit such notice.
BY addressing Mr.. Stuart at ST. Louis
Mo, those interested will probably be
furnished full information.

Los Angeles, California, is becom-
ing celebrated for more than it's
salubrious climate: another large
building has been wrecked by dyna-
mite explosion, due, it is said, to the
continued labor troubles.
New York is determined to break
up the kidnappers' trade or fill the
penitentiaries; two Italians were
given sentences of twenty-five and
forty-nine years for holding two chill
dren for ransom.
The Model Husband has just died
and this will be an awful warning
to other would-be model husbands.
Oh, yes, he was seventy years old
when he died, but the would-be's
will regard it as a warning, never
theless.
Macon is another example of pro-
hibition-as-is in the South; the mayor
has just issued an order that no
more liquor is to be sold there after
January first. And Macon's in Geor-
gia, and Georgia has been dry(?)
three years.

W question of great interest to
the nation has been more frequently
discussed than that relating to the
labor of little children.
The cities of the North and East
have been cited as having more chill
dren as bread-winners than any
other portion of the country, and
many of the states have passed laws
which prohibit the hiring of children
under sixteen years of age. The New
England mill states, New York state,
Pennsylvania, and New Jersey may
all be cited as having evaded in large
measure the laws passed to prohibit
child-Workers, and one may see any
number of little boys and girls who
cannot by any possible stretch of
imagination be taken for the age
prescribed by law.
These sections have their prob
lem; they have also the money to
make conditions different; it is not
hard to imagine there is enough
philanthropy to care for these little
ones.
This article is meant to deal more
with conditions in the South, and no
attempt will be made to deny the
fact Of too many little ones being
permitted to be enrolled as wage
earners at too early an age.
But there are always two sides
from which to make an argument on
any matter, and in the matter of
child-labOr in the South, the two
sides are easily discernible.
Conditions in the South are SO
vastly different from those in the
North it is easier to argue in favor
of the employment of children for
this section than it is for any other
part of the country. When we note
the poverty of the South, outside the
large cities, and compare it with the
affiuence of any section of the North,
it is easy to see where grim necessity
assumes an awful aspect.
Those who have visited any sec
ton of the South, outside the cities,
will recall how the pride, reticence
and dignity of the average "poor
white family distin guished them
from poor white people anywhere
else
The isolation of Southern noun
tain home, or the small farm, appeals
to ones sense almost before any
thing else.
Since the timber has been almost
entirely marketed, there are large
number Of farms, small, poor in
earth value, but belonging largely to
the descendants of the first families
who owned them.
With the timber buyers and the
mills gone, the family will often find
itself cut off almost absolutely from
communication with the outer world:
there are no schools, no churches, no
stores, no doctor, preacher nor friend
within maybe less than a days walk
or ride.
Is it any wonder that the mill
town." with it's life, it's stores and
it's work appeals to the little family,
who have been unable to wrest any
but the hardest living from their
barren acres?
There are some people living on
these little farms who have never
tasted any food but that which they
have raised; home-raised pork and
chickens have been their meat; corn
bread made from the corn they have
raised; "sweetnin' " from the cane
they have grown, constitutes their
bill of fare, with perhaps taste of
beef when a COW outgrows her USE
fitness.
Can you imagine the longing for
canned" foods-of dresses other
than homespun or calico-to people

tutes life?
This is not a plea for child labor,
but it is a plea for the lettering of
the conditions, so that the little
workers may develop, as they can
readily be helped to do, by national
legislation.
The prohibiting of child labor
works hardship on the child pri-
marily. By safeguarding them, by
seeing to it that their mental devel-
opment keeps pace with their me-
chanical proves, isn't it safe to as
sumo we will be developing a sturd-
Ter, harder race of men and
women?
1t is dep1Orable that conditions are
as they are in many Southern mill
towns, and these conditions are due
solely to the greed of those who own
the mills.
Limit the hours of work, and
make education compulsory; the
'three RS will be sufficient to make
successful men and women of any
with skill enough to be a good
weaver; teach them to live right;
put ban on lard and the frying
pan; have a crusade against snuff
and tobacco chewing-and there will
no longer be any need for the South
to deplore nor explain the existent
conditions Of the average midtown.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 1S.-The meet
ing of the State Board of Health and

brought to a close yesterday after
noon with the announcement that
twenty-seven out of ninety applicants
for license to practice medicine in
Mississippi, passed the rigid exami-
nations. That there were so few sue
cessful candidates is said to be due
to the fact that the State Board of
Health has insisted that each candi-
date show a high standard of knowl-
edge of the profession in which he
seeks to enter. The board and the
medical association got together and
raised the standard of requirements,
and adopted a method of examination
leaks in advance of the date of the
examination. AS the result many OF
the students were not prepared for
the examination and they will be COM
PEELED to wait six months longer.

MAY HAVE BUILDING STRIKE.

New York, Oct. 1S,-A referendum
V,te of the thirry-siX unions represent
ed in the building trades industry has
been taken on the question of calling
a strike on all buildings where non
union marble workers are employed,
and the balloting will be completed to-
day. II is considered probable that
the strike will be called, unless the
Marble Industry Employers Associa-
ton agrees to an arbitration of the
differences which led to a strike Of
the union marble workers on sixty
buildings and in all the marble shops
of the city.
AS the marble employers have gone
on record as repudiatlng the organiza.
lions to which the strikers belong, it
is not expected that they will agree
10 the arbitration conference. Among
the buildings in process of erection
affected by the strike is the new Van
derbilt Hotel, on which non-union men
have been employed.

MANY INDUSTRIES
secure CHARTERS

Chattanooga, Oct. 18.-The total
capitalization of the new industries
established in the South during the
week ending today, as reported by
The Tradesman, is $13,9SS,500. The
number of industries is over one hun
dred and only three of these are CAPT
tahzed at over 100000.
The number of small industries es-
tablished indicates to great extent
the business condition of the section
and the fact that this number is dis
tributed evenly over the entire South
proves that continued prosperity is in
evidence everywhere.
There is a feeling of better business
throughout the section. The accumu-
lated stock of iron on furnace and
warrant yards is moving rapidly, tex
tile conditions are generally improv-
ing and altogether the outlook is
promising.
