"WONEN AND CHILDREN FIRST.


By signing the fifty-four hour labor
bill Governor Dix showed that this state
was prepared to recognize in the indus
trial field what all the world recognized
in the Titanic disaster-the fitness and
need of protecting the weaker members
of society. This measure will not bring
about millennium in the world Of labor
1t will not prevent women and children
under the lash of economic necessity
from working when they should not
work. But it will prevent employers
with a mistaken notion of efficiency
and business economy from dragging q
ten-hour workday out Of factory hands
for whom even nine hours labor repre-
sents heavy strain on energy and en-
durance.
There were only few hundred women
and children on the Titanic. The Con
sumers' League estimates that there are
100000 factory women in this state, and
there are thousands of boys who will
come under the provisions Of the meas
ure limiting the hours Of labor Of women
and minors to fifty-four a week. The
danger which confronts them is not as
sudden and awful as that Of the disaster
at sea. Yet the dull wearing away Of d
woman's life in factory toll, with its
drain on the present and its taking OF
toll Of the future generation, may be 9

out Of life. And needless. The change
In conditions which will be brought
about under this law will not be great

Sir: Permit mo to suggest the following
as a remedy against disasters such as De-
fell the Titanic for the future:
An agreement between the various steam

maritime nations, or, IL necessary, by iega'
enactment, compelling passenger steamers

Of say five miles.
With the existing community OF interest
between the different companies such an
arrangement could be easily effected. and
in place OF the proposed plan to send one
steamer daily from New York to Europe
two boats of approximately the same size
and speed could be cleared every other
day.
Moreover, by this arrangement the timid

THE PRIVILEGE OF HELPING.

The readiness with which this com
munity has responded to Mayor Gaynors
request for a fund for the relief Of the
Titanic survivors is highly gratifying.
Never niggardly in the face Of misfort-
une or need, the people Of the city have
given eloquent testimony on this occa-
sion to their sorrow and sympathy and
desire to be Of help. Contributions to
the fund have come In at the rate OF
about 1000 an hour. and it is to the
credit of the community that they have
come from all classes Of its citizenship.
Each gift has borne its acknowledgment
OF human brotherhood In aff1iction and
its message of sympathy and good will
Each has shown that 10 give was q
privilege.
Especially fine has been the work Of
the women's relief committee, which
has contributed not only money and
worldly goods but personal service 10
help the unfortunates. What endless
funds, what mere man, with the readiest
sympathy and the best intentions In the
world, could not do for the sufferers
those gracious women workers did and
are doing. Immigrant Of the steerage

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

The bravery displayed by the musicians
on the Titanic and the similar exhibition
on the English ship Blrkenhead recalls
also the patriotic conduct of the band
on board the German gunboat Hits, which
went 10 the bottom Of the Chinese Sea on
August 25. 1896. The scene was at that
time described by one OF the few survivors
OF the disaster. which claimed rs OF tho
1ltiss crew. He said that the men stood
at parade, the band played Hell Dir i'm
Slegerkranz" with all the precision and
force Of which they were capable and.
swinging their caps. the officers and men
went down cheering the Kaiser.

games played so far have been close
and exciting, so that a hit or an error
would either win or lose a game. As
il looks from the side lines there is
not much choice in any of the teams.
1t would be hard to find six teams
in any league more evenly matched
than the teams in the Twilight league
1t is gratifying and pleasing to the
manager and to the Fairgrounds COM
mittee to see the people take so much
interest in the games. The attendance
has been good at every game. At
times the crowds have been SO large
that it has given much trouble to keep
them off the field.
The games in the next series have
been arranged so as to make them
more interesting than the ones just
played and by so doing 1t is hoped that
the attendance may be increased,
especially the grand stand part.
