substitute the mother love that the
little one begs.
AT an early hour Of the sacred day
when the break of dawn steals in
and reveals the remnants of cOlos-
sal mansion ball, she stands in her
artificial beauty, mid the silence of
her boudoir and listens to the far off
chime of the Cathedral bells as they
try to awaken the teachings of her
girl-hood
The pure love of wed-lock lives
not in the heart Of this society queen
or her master. He pays with gold
for tie caresses that she spareingly
! bestows upon him.
Occasionally, letter from the old
folks finds it's way within the por-
tails of this mansion, but the tender
love, penned by the hand of a rustic
mother and the home-s spun principle
that read between the lines, touch
not the heart of her who lives for
position alone. She has long forgot
the mother love that rocked her to
dreamland in baby days, but some
times, the voice that sang lullibys to
her seems to echo across the span of
years, and a blush of shame bows
her proud head. She dares not in
vite the old folks to her city mansion
for the rustic manners of these sim
pie folk would not blend with the
polished imitation of her class.
But some day, she knows not
when, the tinsel idoletry that she
worships, will crumble and kneeling
in the ashes of her idols she will i'm
plore Christ to lead her back to

@eeoratioD DAY
By j. A. O.
By j. n. O.

TT CAME from days of strife and blood,
y When passion filed the Nations veins
It grew and fouriShed in the food
Of Freedoms bright and higher aims.
In sorrowing hearts the love was born
That bloomed into custom dear,
For like the sparkling dew of morn
It freshens memory with tear
The passing years are shure to bring
The hour of death to those we love,
Each jewell from the broken ring;
Is added to the crown above.
We grasp in faith the golden chain;
For after all that can be said,
Of all the memories we retain,
The sweetest ones are of the dead
We hear the sound of fife and drum
That leads the totterng forms of blue
Among the passing hosts that come,
We note the little patriots too
Yes, all are marching out to-day,
Gods smile of sunshine overhead,
With flowers and flags, in love to lay
Their tribute, on the cherished dead,
Bring out the flags of stars and bars!
Forsaken emblem of their day.
And tWine them with the stripes and stars,
To drape the graves of blue and gray:
For if beyond the cloud that hides,
Our eyes could pierce the mystic VEIL
We'd find that there no thought divides;
No bitterness can there prevail
l. Envoi
Alone we sit with saddened heart,
Like driftwood of the years gone by,
And sigh because we have no part
Beyond the vision of our eye.
We cannot join your May Day throng
To offer flowers mingle tears
Our tribute is this little song,
From hearts who's day S are full of years.

CHILD LABOR
.0Oa Year
ERMS: 6M onths Fifty Cts.
w. C. Van D.

1t is hard to think that any human
being would descend to such depths
of moral degradation as to exploit
the lives of little children for gain.
Where is the one-time boasted
chivalry of the South, when it al
lows it's cotton mills to be filled with
stunted wrecks of childhood and fat
tens on the sweat and blood that
oozes from the baby fingers at the
looms? When one thinks of the
ease with which the physical or NOR
al welfare of the child may be
dwarfed, it is fearful to contemplate
the effect on future generations of
the mal-employment of children of
today.
The most valuable crop that any
state can raise is healthy children
and no money or labor should be
spared to conserve, in every way,
the welfare, both physical and moral,
of the growing generation. All
hopes for the future depend on the
children of the race and if we gain
in everything else and lose out in
that, the doom of the nation is seal
ed. Nothing can save people who
neglect to adequately protect it's
children-even the children of its
poorest and most despised. The
children of the poor are perhaps the
very ones worth saving the most.
Il is the children of the poor, who
when given a fair chance for healthy
development, that became the pi-
oneers of civilization and the lead
ers in great movements for social
good. Just think of what the state
of Minnesota would have lost if our
late Governor had been, in his baby
years, exploited in cotton mill! and
what would our whole nation have
lost if Abraham Lincoln had wore
out his early life by unremitting
drudgery!
At every crisis in the history of
the world it is the children of the
poor who have stepped into the
breach and pointed out the way to
freedom.
Conserve the child, then, if it
takes the whole resorces of the state
to do it and future generations will
call him wise who said: whatever
it cost we must and will preserve
the children"
There is no argument that | have
ever seen advanced in favor of child
labor that would hold water for an
instant. Every argument that has
ever been brought out has as it's
basis money profit; sometimes for the
parent, but always for the exploiter.
Even if is true that the parents some
times reap a small amount by selling
; tthe health of their children, it re-
> veals hideous sore in our body
= polite and one that should be i'm
madiatalv eradicatad
The real cause of child labor is
Y the greed of the manufacturer, sup
plemented by the neglect of the state
, to provide adequate protection and
support for the child.
!, Child labor is curse to the very
: poor whom it has the effrontery to
f say it benefits, as by the employ
:, ment of children, adults are forced
into idleness. Nothing would so
> quickly benefit labor as the absolute
prohibition of child labor in all it's
lforms.
u The new children's bureau, estab-
e lished at Washington, will do much
y to help the cause, but drastic legis-
)" lation must come soon. II this is
y not done--we gee the sowing now
d some future generation will reap q
fearful harvest.

And If the full amount involved in
the present proceedings is denied by
the commission the reason will be. it
is now believed, that the commission
ers have effected savings in other di-
rectlons which, they hope, will com
pensate the roads through the con.
seryatlon Of the revenue received un.
der the present rate status.
For instance, the commission has
conducted a simultaneous inyestiga-
tion into the free or cheap service
given by common carriers to private
lines. TO tap lines, in switching. in
spotting cars and in handling Of
freight at terminals. All these ele.
ments have been brought into associa.
tion with the advance asked for and
they promise to play an important
part In the findings of the board.

have appeared before the commission
have readily granted the Importance
OF the inquiry into these side issues,
They have welcomed any readjustment
OF the relations Of the railroads to the
private lines and terminal companies
that will save their companies money.
but they have never agreed that the
sum involved in this free service Is
large enough TO meet the exactions
outlined in the pending case.
The commission is under direct pres.
sure and influence from every quarter

practicable moment. The carriers are
for expedition. The whole business
world, In fact is urging that the pres.
ent uncertainty be ended at the earliest
possible moment
