that I visited.
By an official ruling which
State Labor Commissioner John
Williams characterizes as "vic-
ious," made in 1905 by Attorney
General Mayer, the Gamers are
exempt from considering age lin
itations in vacation time" if the
children work in sheds "uncon-
nected with the factory" without
machinery. Some of the sheds"
are about six inches distant>from
the factory and many of the sheds
have machinery installed contrary
to law.
Mayer has since been promoted
to the federal bench by President
Taft.
A law effective October /, 1912,
signed by Governor Dix, removes
all hours of labor limitations for
boys under 18 and for girls and
women between June IS and Oc-
tober IS, the principal canning
season.
Moreover, workers in nearly
all factories are nameless-mere
numbers on time cards, of whom
no record is kept, and, therefore,
labor-law cases and law suits for
injury are hard to prove, and can
ners do as they please. Still, con
ditions were so bad that a few of
the Gamers stopped using chill
dren in their sheds.

"The Sound Precedent"

George Harvey, In the North American Review.
Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated as
President in 1901 and was reelected.
When the date of the expiration Of his
second term drew near his party was in
full control and Jefferson himself was al
the height Of his powers. mental ard
physical. as evidenced by the fact that
he lived and studied and wrote for nine
teen years thereafter. Nevertheless,
when besought by the legislature OF Yer
mont to accept third term, he replied,
under date of December 10. 1907, as fol-
lows:
That should lay down my charge at
q proper period Is as much my duty as to
have borne it faithfully. If some term ma
ton to the services of the chief magis-
trate be not fixed by the Constitution. or
sapplied by practice, his Office, nominally
for Years, will in fact become for life,
and history shows how easily that degen-

SENATE DEMOCRATS
STAND BY THE HOUSE
Attitude on Army Bill Indica-
ton of Purpose on Other
Appropriations.

A fight was on in the Senate over the
House provision in the army appropria
ton bill reducing the number of cavalry
regiments by five when the consideration
of the bill was renewed in the Senate this
afternoon after being laid aside at ad-
journment yesterday afternoon.
Senator John Sharp Williams gave no
tice that he desired to make a fight for
the House provision, against the recon-
mendation of the Senate committee on
military affairs to have the Senate dis
approve of the reduction in cavalry. Other
democrats will also support their political
confreres of the House in this feature of
their economy program; and that means
a partisan scrap in the Senate.
Indication of Future Action.
This fight, too. is only forerunner of
others to be made in connection with
other appropriation bills. The House
democrats are carrying their economy
program vigorously into the appropriation
bills, and they expect help from the Sen
get it was indicated yesterday and today
when the army appropriation bill has
been under consideration.
There was some discussion yesterday
over the provision to limit the length OF
time an officer may be detached from his
command. The House bill provided THAT
no money appropr ated by this act shall
be paid to any officer for any period dur
ing which he shall have been detached
for any duty of any kind for more than
four of the preceding six years from the
organization in which he is commits
stoned unless such continuous detach-
ment from such organization Is author
ICED by law.
The Senate committee recommended a
substitute providing ':That hereafter In
time Of peace no officer of the line shall
be detached or permitted to remain de-
tached from his regiment or corps who
has not served for at least three years
of the preceding period of six years prior
to such detachment with the regiment or
regiments of calvary. field artillery or
infantry. or with the organizations Of the
Coast Artillery Corps to which he shall
have been assigned by the War Depart
ment: but this shall not apply to officers
detailed in the ordnance department and
the Bureau of Insular Affairs.
Senator Williams thought the House
provision strong and direct; but the ma
jority Of the Senate took the committee S
view and adopted the latter provision.
