CHILD LABOR BUREAU

Senator From Idaho Tells Con.

Children.
Hogs and Cattle Diseases Inves.
tigated, Why Not Do It
For Babies?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-During
ananfmated debate in the United
States senate this week on the Chill
dren's Bureau bill, Senator Borah
warmed up to the occasion and
answered some of the objectors by re-
marking:
IF we have the constitutional
power to gather statistics and facts
with reference to diseases of hogs
and cattle, we have the constitutional
power to gather data with reference
to diseases of children. The United
States, constitution was not made for
hogs alone, but also for men.
I'VE are devoting over three mill
lion dollars year to the gathering
of statistics referring to the treat
ment Of diseases of cattle and hogs;
certainly we can afford thirty thou
sand dollars for the purpose of gath
ering such information as will enable
us to deal intelligently with dependent
and delinquent children -
Senator Borah is making a most
estimable effort to procure the pass
age of the Children's Bureau bill and
is deserving of all the support which
sympathetic citizens can render him.

Beginning next week the municipal

ers. His campaign committee will
be announced very soon, headquarters
will be established, and an energetic
campaign will be waged.
The supporters of DR.. McCuen
have not been permitting the grass to
grow under their feet. The quietness
of the Cullum supporters has given
them encouragement, so much so
that they are laboring under the de-
fusion that their candidate will have
an easy time of it.
One of the McCuen supporters has
become so enthusiastic over the ap-
pearance Of things that he is posting
bets that DR.. McCuen will carry three
wards in the city, including the first
ward, and that he will also be elected
However, it Is believed that a weeks
work by the Cullum supporters will
cool their ardor somewhat. ''
DR.. Cullum will discuss during the
campaign the achievements of his ad-
ministration; his desire for modern
places of treatment and correction
for petty offenders; equalization of
taxation, the municipal ownership of
an electric lighting plant and several
other important subjects upon which
DR.. McCuen is amazingly silent.
Those who believed this would be a
tame campaign will find they were
mistaken: 1t is to be. sizzler, and
the closing days will remind the old
timers of the political times in Du-
luth that were.

LAWYERS Have MOST
WIDE Awake UNION
Bar Association One of the Oldest
and Strongest of Professional
Organizations.
It Never Sleeps or Allows It's
Interests to Lag-It Tolerates
No Non Unionists. "

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S.-The Bar
Association is the professional title
of the organization in which attor-
neys. solicitors, lawyers and brief
writer's are all enrolled.
It is probably one of the Oldest and
strongest unions of professional men
In existence. Its first, second, last
and only thought is self preservation.
Its word is law. and for the sake
Of that self made law. (of self pres
ervatton) 1t elects it's own members
to administer. the law. Up to the
present no other section of society
has mustered strength enough to balk
their plans.
1t never sleeps nor allows it's in
terest to lag. It tolerates no non
unionists nor strike breakers.
The much lauded right to work.
theory is not applicable to non
union lawyer. No one would dare
hire such a creature, no self respect
ing union attorney would work with
MIN, no dignified berobed judge
would give him recognition.
For the proof of this fealty of the
lawyers to their union reference is
herein made to a most comprehensive
exposure on the "extravagant cost of
the law" by Carl Snyder, in ".Col-
llers,' in which he says In part:
we have five times as many
judges as there is any need for. The
chief occupation of these judges is
the obstruction of justice.
In the United States, with 90 mil
lion people, there are over $500
judges: In England, with 80 million
people. only 200 judges. The city OF
New York has 144,, almost as many
as in the whole of England ,.
Mr.. Snyder concludes his analytic
al exposure by saying: Reduce the
number of lawyers in congress and
the state legislatures. and. then will
there be real reform of the law. in
this country ii.

BADGER STATE AS USUAL
TAKES ADVANCED GROUND
Trade Unions Are Opposed to
Trade Schools But Favor In
dustrial Training. 49,.

Opportunities seem to- be opening;
for the skilled tradesmen in the In.
>dustrial schols conducted by statas
and cities throughout the country.
The trade unions have consistently,
and wisely opposed the idea of trade
schools conducted solely for profit. 1t
was felt by them that little attention
was given to the practical side of a
trade, and skilled tradesmen, who
had spent years to acquire knowledge
of their business, were thrust in conf
petition with the trade school gradu-
ate of%a six months course, and for
which he paid a handsome fee.
Now that the. general .pu ublic5 is be-
ginning to appreciate that an absence
of q fixed apprentice system in, this
country. is having its, deteriorating ef-
feet upon the trades, there is vide
spread demand for Industrial 'educa-
tlon In our public schools The idea
of this kind of education is not to
teach a boy trade, but to train his
hand and EYE to do things: to teach
him the fundamentals so that with
little practical experience he may be
come proficient as tradesman
sooner than if he did not have tech
nical training in advance.
Looking, for Union Men.
The industrial schools, the univer-
sites, high schools. normal schools
and other institutions throughout the
country are looking for union mon
who understand their trade to teac h
it to young America. .,
-
of this kind so swept the country.
Learn a trade is the cry and
sons Of rich men, sons Of poor men
are to learn trades under the able
tuterage of union men from one end
Of the country to the other. :
After experimenting it has been
found that union men-men; who have
worked at and have had the practical
experience are worth double as teach
ers those who have received their
training in school and have never
put it into practical action. a, :: ~
Bricklayers, plumbers, carpenters,
steam filters, engineers, painters,
decorators, plasterers and others are
wanted to teach trades.
Professions Are Overcrowded.
The fact is that during the last
few years people have been highly
educated for different: lines of'work
such as physicians, lawyers, dentists
and the several fields Of professional
work have become over crowded, it Is
claimed. ;. :?
A great many highly educated men
are unable to earn their own living,
it is said, and those interested in so-
cial work say. that there is need Of
young men in the several trades.
The. matter has been taken up in
all parts of the country and it is
stated that many union men are be-
ing employed to teach the arts.
Union men are wanted because it Is
stated that q union man must be q
good workman and thoroughly COM
petent in his line before he will be
admitted to, the union.
The universities are starting
courses in carpentry, bricklaying,
plumbing and other lines. So are
hundreds of other schools throughout
