Speaks on Child Labor

Governor MafSlldll Sdlu.
 .'The theory that the prohibitive duties are to be levied upon foreign goods in the interests of the workingman is dis closed by the facts to be fallacious. For 10 years we have had prohibition prac- ticaIly, on foreign made products. At the same time we have had free trade in foreign labor.
 Granting that these men are American citizens, the statistics disclose that in the trust factories of this country not 40 per cent of the heads of families earn wages enough to support these families. The residue of the present support comes from the boarders and the labor of their children.
 'gln the tenement house where these people live an average of 243 persons are sleeping in every 100 rooms.
 Both politicians and philanthropists are appalled, at the stunting of the lives and souls of the children. It is insisted that we must have more stringent laws upon the subject of child labor-that we must punish the parent who permits his child to work before he is 16 years old.
 The Condition
 This then is the condition: The earner of the family, unable to provide for It's keep, shortly is to be confronted with a law which will prevent him from earning anything by incarcerating him in jail il he permits his children to labor.
 Now, my theory is that, save in rare instances, the laboring man loves his chil- dren as much as the trust magnate does his and given the opportunity would look after his children with the same zealous care. Myl proposal is that you take some of the burdens off the shoulders of the iaboring men. give him a chance to earn u living for his family and trust him to solve the child labor problem by the law of life rather than by the law of the land."

 The Governor Explains

New London Conn, October S.--Govern- or Marshall of Indiana completed his New England tour this evening by ad- dressing audiences at Norwich and here. Tn his address made at Worcester, Cover nor Marshall devoted much of his atten- ton to Colonel Roosevelt.

 At Montville an unpleasant incurrent oc- cured. but the governor treated It as joke. Just as the car came to stop, boy in the crowd threw stone which struck the governors nose, causing 1t to bleed slightly and the governor laughed and referred to it as the first blood shed of the campaign" In this city he paid attention to the subject of child la bor.

Democratic Convention.

The advance host of cheering
confident, and militant Demo
Gratis that foregathered in Balti-
more last Saturday and Mon
day. was a forerunner of the
tremendous enthusiasm that
would prevail during Conven-
ton week, and an indication of
the intense interest with which
the people of the country are
watching the deliberations and
anticipating the action of the
Democratic National Conven-
ton. That the next President
of the United States will be
named by the Baltimore con.
vention, there are few so bold
as to dispute. With the issues
clearly defined, with a platform
embodying sound Democratic
principles, and with the great
leaders of the party striving fol
harmonious and united action

a question, not so much Of meas.

The Triumph of Right

In the nomination of Mr.. Taft
the Convention triumphs, our
form of government is vindi-
Gated against dangerous as
saults, the Courts, representa-
tive institutions, the guaran-
tees of liberty and property
and the orderly administration
of law. are safeguarded. Pres
ident Taft's personal victory is
notable and great. but he would
be the first to protest that it
should be held secondary to the
triumph of constitutional princi-
Piles and a government of laws,
for that is supreme.
Mr.. Taft's personal victory
is, as we have said, great. 1t
is very great and gratifying,
for it is not to be denied that
he was hard beset, and that
many times the fortunes of the
campaign ran cruelty against
him. He was saved from de-
feat by the sound sober sense
of that part of the American
people that is included in the
Republican party, and by the
fortitude of the chief men of
that party in demanding that
Republican usage be followed
in giving a denomination to a
President eminently worthy of
the honor, and in organizing
against the onslaught of the
revolutionaries.
If Mr.. Taft energies from the
contest with credit, it must be
said that Mr.. Roosevelt in de-
feat makes about the sorriest
figure ever presented to the
view of people by any man of
distinction who has encounter
ed reverses in our politics. His
hosts of friends in the sporting
fraternity must look on him
with contempt, for certainly
they never beheld a worse loser.
Even with the delegates he
claimed given to him he would
not have had a majority, but,
as in the various stages of the
convention his defeat was re-
corded in votes that successive.
ly increased its measure, Mr..
Roosevelt's rage increased. 1t
was really dreadful exhi-
bition of temper..-New York
