Children Do Not Know
 What It Means to Play

Josie, and 2-year-old baby Rookie sat about the table, and with dirty baby hands picked away at the nuts. Having no notion of hygiene they would occasionally eat piece of kernel. and their wet little fin- gers would again take up the work of preparing the nuts which sell for 10 cents more on the pound because they are shelled.
 Another family at No. 7I Sulli. van street. had four little ones un- der 10 all at work while two older children go each day to factory uptown.
 The rent for these quarters is SIC to SIP a month. Heat comes from Q coal stove and is a grave item during the winter months. Mothers figure that with the help of the children they can add from s2 to s4 week 10 the family income. As Miss Elizabeth Watson. who heads the band of women inspectors of factories and "out work" said this help is unfortunately necessary for the average father can get no more than five or six months work in year.
 TO see these little creatures at work as I have seen them in 5000 homes in these quarters of our city, many of them less than two years old. is one of the most terrible com mentaries on our civilization" said Miss Watson.
 Through persistent efforts and with the aid of Mrs. Florence Kel- ley, however, I believe We are in a fair way of bettering conditions for while no legislation has been passed making this home work un- lawful. still we have gotten the mat ter up to the state and the state must be responsible for the results.
 "The fact that these thousands of children come into the world and face the economic struggle in the second year of their lives is a ter. rible truth which must be dealt with The vitality Is becoming with each succeeding generation of these people lower and lower and the children instead of being an i'm prOvement on the parent is a less fit individual to take up the life struggle. And it is because of this fact that the state must bear the responsibility of such conditions"
 Most of the children, according to Miss Watson, accept the fate which depriyes them of all play without any emotion, but she told an incl dent of a girl named Rosie whose home work was the making of rag dolla
 Rosie did not Ike the work" said Miss Watson. She was a joy. ous. pleasure-loving little miss and wanted to be out and play. As her mother stitched away at the dolls and handed them over to her to trim and turn right side out Rosie had a way of shipping into the cloth and running each doll The mother plainly saw that her help was no help at all, but finally she solved the problem by taking into the home corset covers through which baby ribbon had to be run through bead. ing. Rosie had no excuse for using the scissors, and so now for six hours and more each day she must remain in the squalid quarters and put in endless yards of ribbon in these covers

Well known hand made candies are never cOntamin- ated with poisonous fayOrs and dyes but are com posed of pure, wholesome materials and mothers and fathers who trying 10 raise sturdy healthy fam fly should make the careful effort to that the children, and all, eat as wholesome candy as the food you prepare or select for them.

To-Day.
Many other prominent demo-
Gratis express themselves frankly
in private conversation with the
understanding that they shall not
be quoted until they have had the
chance to recover their breath
after the unexpected develop
ments on the republican side.
Opinion is divided between two
we'll defined views. The one most
commonly expressed is in sub
stantial accord with Senator
Cores opinion. The idea is that
progressive action. on the part of
the republicans would drive the
democrats into the same position,
only little more so.
Wilson or Bryan.
The nomination of Wilson or
Bryan is predicted by those hold
ing this view. Several think that
the same psychological condition
which has brought Roosevelt in
to renewed prominence among
republicans will revive the popu-
larity of the Peerless Leader"
among democrats.
1t is definitely known that Bry-
an will not decline if the party
calls.
The other view, held by some
of the shrewdest politicians, is
that the nomination of La Fol
lette or Roosevelt will lead to the
choice of a conservative demo
cratic ticket, perhaps Harmon
and Underwood. 1t is said that
Underwood would be happy to
get the vice presidency.

cratic fight with the assured sup
port of the south and a good
chance to carry New York, Con
necticut, New Jersey, Ohio and
Indiana.
One prominent senator of pro-
gressive tendencies, commenting
on this view, says: "Unquestion-
ably this will be made and backed
with ample money for organiza-
ton purposes. 1t will not sue
coed. The democratic party will
never repeat the Parker expert
ment. If it did, it would be beat
en- and go to pieces-and would
deserve no better fate"
The oratorical fireworks at the
banquet hall will sound a note of
supreme confidence in democratic
success. Taft, Roosevelt and La
Toilette will be remembered and
shot to pieces. Nevertheless, the
democrats are not nearly as hap
py as they we're month ago.

JOSEPH BACK FROM
 TRIP TO NEW YORK
Says Underwood Overshadows Them All as a Presidential
 Probability

NJ. V. Joseph, president of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, returned yesterday from New York, where he has been for several days. He was in the east on business for his firm and was de- talned there on account of a slight indisposition.
 Underwood overshadows everyone In New York; said MT. Joseph yester- day. He is unquestionably the big gest man before the country today, in many opinions, and as for getting the democratic nomination for President, he is ahead of them all. The opinion of bankers and commercial men in New York is that Underwood Is the most logical man for the democrats to put up for tho place. He is considered without a peer in tariff work and the business interests would feel exception ally pleased if he were elected Presi- dKnt of this nation
 The biggest bankers and others of the east will be for Underwood if he is nominated. Birmingham stands out prominently before the country as the home of Underwood the premier statesman of the times"
 Mir. Joseph said business was ex- ceedingly fine and the outlook excel- lent for the entire season
