Anent Lace Making.

Anent Making.
TO The Ediror Of the Evening star
! was glad to note in the Evening Star
that our school authorities are placing n
ban ON young girls making lace after
school hours. This work Injuries their
eyes from the constant e~xertion of their
optic nerves. |. for one. know of many
cases where some mothers have deprived
their children of an EDUCATION by keeping
them at home making lace for a few
pennies. Some have compelled their chill
dren to remain up late at night making
lace. If the children refuse they receive
u severe punishment. These very same

must also state tint these unfortunate
girls must labor an entire week To earn
fifty or seventy-fiye cents, If not
less. Very few earn more. This work is
given by contractors who receive a large
sum for their work. For example, the girl
receives. fifteen cents for a collar, the
contractors sell it for fonr times that
price.
Why not impose a fine on these SO
called contractors?
Often in the department stores we. see
such beautiful crochet lace collars. We
admire and value them: but who knows
that the majority of them are crocheted
by mere girls? in the Italian districts
we see children in the streets making
lace, We admire their ambition; but the
work is for whom? 1t Is for these con
tractors. There are cases where children
play truant from school to earn a few pen

the fact.
If mothers are not aware of their
daughters making lace they are deserving
Of censure for not knowing It; If they
are aware of the fact their conduct in
permitting their daughters to do 1t con
tinually is inexcusable. The contractors
are inexcusable if they employ girls, with
or without the mothers consent. | be

girls at 7 years old.

CRIMINAL TING TRUST PAPERS BURNED.

Z NNT ORE destruction of evidence in the steel trust investiga-
AVN tion. Before the steel trust investigators yesterday
Secretary and Treasurer Wheeler, of the Sheet and Tin
Plate Company, a subsidiary of the trust, when asked to produce
contracts with manufacturers of machinery, complacently ad-
mitted that they had been burned by. his authority, because
papers accumulate But he was forced to own up that the
combination had contracts with the machinist companies to
: take all their output. 1t is evident that no trust plant in
future will be considered as having modern equipment without
"a special crematory for its records. But how is government
going TO stand this insolent and criminal demeanor of a cor
poration under investigation by Congress? If an individual
deliberately destroyed evidence in order to hide a criminal of
Mfense could he do it with like impunity?

THE WALSH ACT ELECTIONS.

TIA LIZABETH's verdict of 1,464 against the adoption of the
LIZ Walsh act in the election yesterday confirms The Stars
forecast of the result. The majority was overwhelm-
ing. Elizabeth is a soberthinking community and, unlike At
lanic City, which yesterday adopted commission government
by a narrow majority, it is wholly a New Jersey town. The
electorate is ITO the manner BORN whereas Atlantic Citys
voting population is polyglot in character. 1t has been argued
Mt Trenton by representatives of the South Jersey coast city
that as it differed essentially in its characteristics from other
cities in the State it needed a local government peculiar TO
itself and different from that of other New Jersey municipal
ties. The sober sense of Elizabeth has rejected the Wilson plan
of revoutonizing municipal government in New Jersey, as
nearly all other cities of the State had done, and probably there
will not be another attempt by ambitious office seekers to use
the Walsh act to get at the municipal feshpots.

CALIFORNIA FLOORS WILSON AND TAFT.

6e1 ALlFORNlA sends greetings TO Ohio and New Jersey
~ with IA great majority for Clark and a big plurality for
Roosevelt. In the Democratic primaries Wilson. the only
competitor of Clark, was simply mot in it, In the Republican
primaries the progressive, or anttTaft, vote was divided I'M
equally between Roosevelt and La Toilette. Combined the anti
Taft majority was crushing. The Democratic women of Cali
fornia. voting for the first time in a primary election, evidently
rallied enthusiastically under the Clark banner, and just as
enthusiastically the Republican women answered the teIe-
graphed appeal of Taft for their SURFACES by voting plumb
against him. Ohio cannot fail to respond in the same spirit to
this verdict from the Pacific slope. The moral effect of the
California election will be felt in every election precinct in
Ohio, as well as in New Jersey. The hopelessness of the Wilson
candidacy was simply emphasized by the Democrats of Cali
fornia and the results in Ohio next Tuesday are not needed to
settle the Taft candidacy. Both Taft and Wilson are practically
eliminated from the presidential race.

A COMING GREAT AEROpLANE INDUSTRY.

cSHAT there is "big money already in the aeroplane manu-
featuring business is evident in three dividends of 20
per cent. each, earned by the stockholders of the Wright
Aeroplane Company. And the industry is as yet in its infancy.
The manufacture of automobiles began in the same way a few
years ago, when an automobile was almost as much of a rarity
on our roads as an aeroplane now is in the air, and ii has at
tanned colossal proportions. The aeroplane, not yet developed
ms a common public utility, is so far advanced that its future is
assured. and capital will go into its manufacture as eagerly as
In the making of automobiles. Probably at the end of the
decade the national census will give a record of hundreds of
millions represented in this now infant industry.

RIcHESON TO PAY THE PENALTY.

tn ICHESON, the murderer of Avis Lnnell, is pronounced
Jim sane by the aienists who examined him, SO, presumably,
he will be duly electrocuted next week. In this case n
great fortune was not behind the malefactor, as was the ase
with Thaw. There was mo money in a decision favorable to
him. The alienists discovered no storms raging in Richesons
brain. they did not cudgel their wits to invent hypothesis and
coin phrases to mystify the public, they didn't examine the sub.
iect through the medium of the dollar. And accordingly their
verdict is in accordance with common sense. Now if Governor
Foss and the pardons judges stand firm against the appeals of
sickly sentimentalty the souless slayer of Avis Linnell will
not burden the earth much longer.

farmer. maintain a camp at the mouth
of Shoal Creek on the Missouri River,
about fifteen miles below Kansas City
and four miles south of Liberty, where
they keep open house for their friends
and entertain in lavish style.
Last summer they were entertaining
among others j. d. Taylor. a farmer of
near Manola, about sixty-five miles
northwest of Alberta, Canada The host
and his guests were grouped around a
small campfire. seantily attired and par
taking of fried catfish with relish, when
Taylor grabbed at his leg and arose to
his feet with a howl that sounded like
the siren of the Gunter.
I'm a goner, boys he %groaned, as he
hoped around on one leg, gripping the
other powerfully with both hands and
imploring someone between whites to get
a club and get busy. There's a snake
In my pants leg as big as my arm and
it's squeezing and biting me to death

leg In question and Cockrell the other.
and they ripped with right good will. but
no snake appeared. When Taylor was
sans pants. however, they took the rem
nant from his hands and closely merged
with the interior was found the stringy
remains of a small frog,
IAN that's what Imagination will do

a box and climbed upon il tailor fashion
to finish his interrupted session with the
fish.
