Calder, editor of the Modern Wood
men, condemned the citizens of Rock
Island for being towards and not
backing up the good work instituted
by the press to rid this city of the
blot upon its name.
Mr.. Van Calder said: "You can't
legalize good morals into a comlnun-
ity. You must educate the people
into bettering conditions. But not
next April, after a sham cleanup. If
there were 10 men in Rock Island who
would really want the city cleaned
up, it could easily be done What's
the use of the newspapers fighting for
the betterment of conditions here,
when the citizens won't support them.
We could not get the men to do what
the women did Monday afternoon. We
are towards because We let the 10 per
cent run the 80 per cent. Because our
board of supervisors allows itself
an unwarranted prejudice and won't
furnish an assistant 20 our states at

How true this isl We cannot help

Nobody is more active than child Upless he is

And his mind is on the move, questioning, remem-
bering, dreaming, studying.
Now who love the child must help him, and keep
up with him. This is what mothers for and fathers

British Subjects in South Africa.

n very serious CONDITION persists
in South Africa over the treatment
received by the laborers who have
been brought into The country from
India. who claim the rights Of
british subjects. II is alleged that
many of these have been cruelty
treated and are denied their legal
rights as British subjects. India is
seriously agitated over the matter,
and the government of India has Ia
ken up the case in behalf of the
natives Of that country.
The industries of South Africa are
very largely in the hands of these
India laborers. A very serious strike
is on. affecting all classes of indus
try. farm. factory, and railroad alike,
with frequent clashes between the
police and the Indians in which 4
number have been killed. A very
undesirable state of unrest prevails.
To complicate the situation still
further with regard to the Indian
subjects of his majesty, an over
jealous Immigrant Inspector recent
ly caused the deportation from Van
couver, h. c.. Of a Hindoo teacher,
who was sent back on a steamer to
Hongkong in the face Of habeas
corpus writ that was pending to
cause the officials TO show reason
for his detention. This official is
held now for contempt of court, but
India public opinion is none the less
seriously disturbed, and Indians are
inquiring whether or not they are
British subjects, and if so, what are
their rights.
