The lady referred to is Miss Juliet
c.. Smith. who is much interested in
the work of the Church of he Good
Shepherd. She was formerly a worker,
for the st. Bartholomew Mission
church in New York City. Here occur
red the conversation quoted above be-
tween her and the women of the tene-
ments where h spent several years
helping the ignorant and poverty
stricken, and in connection with the
clubs and schools of the mission
church, teaching them a better way.
Miss Smith was drawn to this work
partly through her father, the late DR..
A. H. Smith. A few years before his
death he was much interested in a
plan to build model tenements, with
reasonably rent, and put whatever
profits therefrom into the building of
another tenement and to continue UNI
til all approached the
model
Miss Smith attended the parent st.
Bartholomew church at Madison ave-
nue. and Forty-fourth street, New
York. The mission church in which
Forty-second street east of Third
street. And when she heard "the cry
of the children" she learned "how the
other half lives" The Vanderbilts were
also interested in this mission and con-
tributed generously to its work, &C
cording to Miss Smith.
Since coming to Topeka a few years
ago. she has retained her interest in
church work and does much for the
Good Shepherd parish. In addition
she has considerable literary ability
and writes many clever stories with a
good moral and some excellent verse
Episcopal Home Mission Work.
About all this Miss Smith is OK
tremely modest. Her mission work
h told to a visitor today only to
show that the Episcopal church is
doing all in it's power along home
mission work in the great cities.
She cited her experience in New
York as typical of the efforts of
Episcopal home mission workers in
other great cities. In striving to up
lift the tenement jewellers, comedy
and tragedy are strangely near.
Feed Babies Beer, Coffee and Cabbage
Babies fed on beer, coffee and
cabbage, eight out of a family of
eleven dead within a year, these are
some of the conditions which we often
said Miss Smith this after
noon. However, through the boys
and girls clubs, of which the ones
established by the st. Bartholomew's
church are good examples, we are
to educate h younger people,
at least, to a better knowledge.

July dollar for the benefit of the state

ELECTRICIANS ARE <,
ON THE WARPATH
Workers Take Exception to State
Boards Ruling and Ask That
It Be Repealed.

The electrical workers of Mime
sofa have declared war against the
present state board Of electricity,
which requires electricians to be
licensed in three classes, that of
Journeymen, master and special cleo
tricians. The. present law applies to
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Duluth and
the electrical workers hold that this
is class legislation and they believe it
to be unconstitutional on the grounds
that if it was dangerous to follow the
occupation in the large city it is like
wise dangerous to follow it in small
city.
They demand the repeal of the law
authorizing. the state board Of cleo
tricity and the. licensing of cleo
tricians and demand in it's stead a
law that will give equal rights to all
and special privileges to none in their
craft. A committee of electricians,
representing the several unions in the
state, is now engaged in drafting a
bill covering this: subject.

WILL. DRAFT NEW
INSPECTION BILL
Union Men Will Make E fort to
Have Boilers Examined Free
and by Competent Officials.


Representatives from unions : in
Minnesota consisting Of engineers,
firemen. steamftters, boilermakers
and machinists are to hold confer
ence in the Twin Cities in the near
future for the purpose of drafting
new boiler inspection bill to be pre-
sented to the next legislature.
Under the proposed bill, boiler sn-
spection will be free and will be
placed under the administration of
the state bureau Of labor. :. It will be
unlawful for any person to be ap-
pointed as boiler inspector who has
not had practical experience in this
construction, alteration or care ct
steam boilers. A law of this charac-
ter, it is said, will go a. long way to-
ward removing many of the abuses
now complained of under the present
system of inspection.
The plan further provides that
there shall be created a. state board
of engineers who will pass upon the
qualifications and shall have power 10
license all persons in the state hav-
ing care Of steam boilers. This bill,
too, is a step in: the right direction.

MITCHELL MAKES HIT
At TRADES ASSEMBLY
Popular Editorial Writer of News
Tribune Delivers Brilliant
Address to Labor.

Charles Mitchell, editorial writer Of
the Duluth News Tribune, made a de-
cided hit at the Trades Assembly last
Friday evening when he spoke on
The Proper Attitude of the Builders
of Duluth Toward Labor"
Mr.. Mitchell made strong appeal
for the social center. He declared
that the schools should be open for
all classes of people both day and
night. He also favored a plan by
which the labor organizations should
utilize the school buildings as meeting
places.
1T Is high time that the boosters
of the city and the workers get closer
together, hear each others opinions
and acted more in harmony with re-
gard to questions of the general well
fare.' declared the speaker. The sub
Jects of better housing and continu-
Gus employment for all who wanted it
were among the things touched upon
by the speaker.
NO man who wanted one should be
without job; any man who is able
but will not work should be placed
on a correctional farm where he
would be at least compelled to earn
enough to feed himself" said the
speaker, who also declared that the
public school is the only truly demo-
cratic institution. Here, the poor
mans and rich mans children meet
on equal footing and get to each 9TH
er better.
