The interests which are opposed to
any law regulating child or woman
labor-particularly the southern cot
ton mill owners-have found comfort
in the publication of book called
The Child That Toileth Not" by
Thomas X. Dawley, Jr. This purports
to be the story of go, ernment In
vestigation that was suppressed. Daw-
ley was employed by the bureau OF
labor to make an investigation into
conditions OF the child In southern
cotton mills, but in the beginning he
took the position that the children
had been much improved by being
taken from the mountain farms and
put into the mills and his entire re-
port became a special plea for the
mill owners as benevolent persons
who were doing nothing but good for
the children. He had trouble with
the labor commissioner and finally IL
became necessary to discharge him.
His relations with the commissioners
were investigated thoroughly by Sec
rotary Nagel, who upheld Commits
sloner Neil. (And Nagel Is no ram
pant reformer). This special plea
for the southern cotton mill owners Ia
the logical sequel. The way the book
Is being purchased and distributed by
the rich mill owners, Is good indi-
cation of its inspiration.

A SIaAghfer of PyoconsAb

Daniel Webster had accepted the
office OF secretary OF state, but did
not meet the new president in Wash
ington until eight or ten days be-
fore the Inauguration. Ii seems that
he had prepared an inaugural ad-
dress for General Harrison. One day,
among other arrangements, he sug-
gested to the new president In as
delicate a way as he could the fact
that he had sketched an inaugural
address, knowing that General Har-
rison would be overwhelmed with
calls and business after his election.
and he himself having leisure TO
write. The general at once replied
that II was not necessary; that he
had prepared his own inaugural.
"Oh. yes.' said he, II have got all
that ready"
"Will you allow me TO take 1t
home and read 1t tonight" asked
Mr.. Webster.
Certainly" the president replied,
"and please let me take yours"
So they exchanged their docu-
ments; and the next morning. when
they met, General Harrison said to
Mr.. Webster:
IF / should read your inaugural
instead OF mine, everybody would
know that you wrote it. Now, this
Is the only official paper which
propose 10 write, for / do not intend
to interfere with the secretaries; but
this Is a sort OF acknowledgment
on my part to the American people
of the great honor they have con-
ferred upon me in elevating me to
this high Office, and although. of

Mr.. Webster was a good deal an
noyed, because the message was. &C
cording TO his Judgment and taste.
Inappropriate. II entered largely
into Roman history and had good
deal to say about the states OF an
tiquity and the Roman proconsuls,
and various matters OF that kind.
When he found the president was
bent upon using his own inaugural.
Mr.. Webster said that his desire was
TO modify K and TO get In some
things that were not there and 10
get out some things that were there:
for. as IL then stood, II had no more
TO do with the American government
and people than chapter OF the
Koran. Gepei al Harrison rather re-
luctantly consented 10 let him take
It, Mr.. Webster spent a part OF the
next day in modifying II. Mrs.
Seaton remarked TO him when he
came home rather late that day, that
he looked fatigued and worried, but
he replied that he was sorry tina;
she had waited dinner for him.
This Is of no consequence at all,
Mr.. Webster she said: "but / am

tends TO 90, il Is rather reasonable 10
assume that he will reappoint Charles
p. NELL. There are few officials who
have kept their Offices as free from
politics and who have rendered as
good general service as NELL has.
The big testimonial TO his ability and
integrity is the 14-volume report on
women and child labor This report
has told the truth about conditions
OF labor in the south, notably the chill
dren In the cotton mills, and as q re-
suit OF its truthfulness Neil has
raised up for himself large number
OF very powerful and persistent en-
emies among the reactionary Demo
Gratis in the United States senate.
Men like Overman. Thorton. SIM
mons, and Bacon have secretly and
publicly antagoniZed the Neill report
and have threatened on many occa-
sions to get his scalp. Bailey tried
to prevent the printing OF the report
Reactionaries from the northern and
western states, men like Gallinger,
Root. Lodge and Smoot have support
ed the southerners in this feeling. On
the other hand, all the organizations
interested in women and child well
fare. as we'll as organized labor, are
behind Neill and IL he IL replaced 1t
will be against their vigorous pro-
test.
Supplying school children with text
books at public expense is regarded
by some members of congress as In.
cendiary and SociaNstic. The new
chairman OF the public lands commit
tee. Mr.. Ferris. feels this way. When
the district bill was under consider
alton, he participated in the debate.
One member was urging that the par
ents OF poor children be compelled
to appear before the board and swear
to their poverty before they could get
books for their children. Another
member protested that this would be
humiliating. Ferris EXPRESSED the
idea that all poverty is humiliating,
but that It should be meekly borne.

Would be a World Blessing.

To the Editor OF The Times;
The article by Harry Burton in re-
gard to the request of Mrs. Sarah
Harris, that 'some one set her spirit
free, and end her suffering" appeals
TO me very strongly. For long time
I 1 have been much interested In this
subject, and am very glad that 9TH
ers, too, are awakening TO compare
lively new thought In regard TO sucn
cases. AS one of your correspond
ents has said, "the law legalizes. the
ticking OF life In cases OF high crimes,
and also In wars" Under both OF
these conditions the methods and
practices, as well as the legalizing OF
them, partake so largely Of the spirit
OF savagery and barbarism. that those
who have one spark OF humanity are
shocked and hurt beyond expression.
Consistency is a jewel" in the case
of nations. as we'll as OF individuals,
and IL we allow peoples lives TO be
taken by such inhuman and brutal
izing methods as are in vogue-by
hanging, e.ectrocuting, or by the bar
barities OF war-how can we feel that
lit would be anything but mere jus
tice and mercy TO set free spirit

ing and agony. and terrible, but
sure separation" at some near, or
remote future time?
am well aware that should such
law be passed that abuses OF II
might follow, and this seems the
greatest objection TO its passage. But
is not this true OF all laws? Under
the competitive system, any law that
orks good for one class is almost
sure to Cypress another.
But this does not deter us from
making these laws that seem to bring
tho greatest good TO the greatest num-
Der. There are two cases that have
