w. G. t. U. MEETING
The Evils of Child Labor Discussed
-StartIiNu FiOures

Mrs. Charles A. Stanley enter
tanned the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union at her home Tuesday
afternoon, April 90. The meeting
was called to order and devotional
exercises conducted by the president,
Mrs. Turner. Miss Ida Kahlo offer
ed prayer and presided at the piano
for the singing by all of Trust and
Obey" Roll call responded to by
scripture texts, secretary's report,
and other business attended TO in
Guiding the election of delegates to
the county convention which meets
this year at Lyndonville in May. A
letter of sympathy was sent to Mrs.
James H. Wiley who is in Bright
look hospital. Ways and means of
raising money were talked about and
a food sale will be held later to
raise money for our work in our
home union.
Mrs. Stanley, as hostess, had
charge of the program and the topic
THE Modern Moloch," was very
clearly and fully explained from a
little book entitled American Child
and Moloch of Today" by Davis
Wasgatt Clark. This book is a pri-
mer of the child labor reform move
ment in America and a history of
the movement from its inception to
date.
Mrs. Stanley read Elizabeth Bar
rett Browning's poem, ''The cry of
the Children"
"They are weeping in the play time
of the others,
In the country of the free"
John Ruskin says it is a shame
for a nation to make its young
girls weary.
The United States census for 1900
shows 1,752,1S7 children under 16
years of age to be employed as wage
earners and it is believed that $780,
600 more should be added to the
above to cover those who are work
ing under falsified certificates, two
out of every three are girls.
There are $4,000 boys and girls
mostly the latter, employed in the
textile factories of the United
States, all are under 16 years; 20,
900 are under II years. They are
in the most deafening, nerve-rack
ing clatter of any factory on earth
1000 are employed in glass fac
tories; $4,000 in tobacco factories
sometimes called kindergarten" be-
cause so many very small children
work in them, and distinct cases OF
nicotine poisoning are said to have
been diagnosed among these young
and tender employees as among those
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1913-05-07

who from habit use tobacco in Gig
arettes. Census reports 10000 in
saw mills; $4,000 as messengers;
1873, 900 in service, street trades and
so on.
The question is pertinent. How
does child labor affect the child and
adult life of this nation? Forty
years is the average length of life
of those who begin as child labor
ers. Baby machines-Jane Addams
saw a little girl of five years of age
walking up and down her lane in
the spindle room of a southern mill
at two O'Clock in the morning. A
child of four years was found in a
New York canning factory. DR..
Daniels declares that children of
three and four years of age,
straighten out tobacco leaves and
makes or sticks together materials
for the stems of artificial flowers.
Children are sometimes tied in their
chairs so if they fall asleep they will
not be hurt by falling on the floor.
No appreciate advantage comes as
child labor seldom becomes skilled
labor. Out of 500 children 412 said
they would rather go to the factories
than to school. Many reasons were
given which were a criticism on our
school system. There is rising in
America a devoted band of men and
women who are trying to awaken
the nations conscience they
succeed.
A vote of thanks was rendered
Mrs. Stanley and the meeting closed
by singing Rescue the Perishing."

Children of Kenosha Have
Gained Much Information
From Lecture Series.
CONSERVING HUMAN LIVES

The final of a series of .Safety
FRS" talks was given in the various
schools of the city this morning. 1t is
declared that the series of talks has
been decidedly interesting to the child
rem and it is thought that the giving
of them will do much to bring better
conditions in Kenosha and more eau
tion to the children in the use of the
streets. The final talk follows:
Again am appealing to you boys
and girls (young men and young wom-
en) to help in keeping down the fright
full accident record. Almost all street
accidents are due to the carelessness of
someone.
One way in which large number Of
persons are injured and many killed, is
in passing behind ears, autos or teams
and failing to see danger coming from
the opposite direction.
When you leave a street car, or when
you have waited for a car or auto or
team to pass, before you try to cross
behind the car or auto, look carefully
up and down the other track, and the
other part of the road. And be sure
to look while you are far enough away
from whatever may be coming, to allow
| it to pass you safely.
Never think that miss is as good as
a mile. Never depend on that. The
next time you may just miss the miss.
Better two feet of safety, than two
miles, or two blocks, even, to hospital.
The only safe rule is to be absolute
| ly safe; better safe than sorry. You
are safe IN a moment, and it only costs
you a moment to be safe. If you are
not safe, you and your parents and
friends will be sorry for long, long
| time perhaps a life time.
| We are conserving many things these
days-forests, ores, soil, time. Your
school work teaches you something Of
that--But the most valuable thing in
| life is life. Conserve that-yours and
others. Care for your life protect it.,
that it may be a long and useful and
happy one Do not let carelessness
rob you of it, or of its joys, its bene-
fits and its successes.
Life is real, life is earnest says
the poet. And life surely is worth saw
ing, worth protecting. No one can SO
well save or protect your life as your
self. Carefulness. will do it.
Remember-Better safe than sorry.

Southern Wisconsin Saloon
Men Meet to Form CO.
operative Brewery.
LLFOLLOW ST. LOUIS PLAN

At meeting Thursday afternoon in
Eagles hall in Racine liquor dealers of
Kenosha decided to combine with men
in the same business in Milwaukee, Ra-
cine, GAINESVILLE, Waukesha ana other
cities, in operating cooperative brew
cry, which will be able to furnish beer
at reasonable cost.
There were over hundred liquor
dealers present at the meeting.
The cooperative brewery, which will
be known under the name of the Mutual
Brewery company, will be located at
Milwaukee, and over 100000 in stock
has already been subscribed. The land
for the brewery is expected to be pur-
chased next Saturday.
The liquor dealers from other cities
went to Racine to interest saloonkeep-
ers in the affair. A number of local
men subscribed for stock, and many
others are thinking the matter over.
The reason for establishing the co
operative brewery, as explained at the
meeting by national and local officers
who were present, is to combat the al
legged high rates charged by the brew
ers 1t was claimed at the meeting by
some of the speakers that the brewers
were making bigger profits off beer than
they were entitled to, and even worked
against the saloonkeepers in charging
exorbitant rent. The various details
of the liquor business were also gone
into at length.
A cooperative brewery similar to the
one proposed in Milwaukee is already
in operation in ST. Louis, and is work
ing fine, according to Lorenz p. Pad
berg, president of the Missouri Liquor
Dealers association. He said they
started with only $4,000 capital stock
and the cooperative brewery is now
worth over $1,00O,000.
Among those present at the meeting
who made speeches, were: P. FL. Nolan,
New York, chairman of the National
association; Lorenz F. Padberg, St..
Louis, Mo-, president of the Missouri
association; John F. Langan of Keno
sha, president of the Wisconsin Liquor
Dealers ASSOCIATION; Edward F. Hunt,
president of the Milwaukee association,
and Aid. John Koerner of Milwaukee.
Gus Jenz Of Racine, presided at the
meeting.

AWARDS NEW TRIAL.
Judge Belden Sets Aside Portion of
Verdict of Jury in Emantian Case.

Judge Belden in the circuit court
this morning handed down decision
setting aside portion of the verdict
of the jury in the suit of Jacob Eman-
tian against the receivers of the Chi
cago and Milwaukee Electric Railway
Company. The verdict of the Jury
awarded Emantian compensatory dam
ages of $50 and punitory damages Of
$415. The court holds that the amount
assessed as punitory damages be set
aside. He gives the plaintiff the OPP
tioG Of filing an acceptance of the $85
as compensatory damages on or before
June 9th or having new trial of the
entire action, Emantian claimed that
he was elected from a car on the
Chicago and Milwaukee road after he
had proffered a proper ticket to the
conductor. It is said that there is a
strong possibility that the case will
be settled without further court
action.

On the other hand, in view of the
fact that all the political parties IN
Wisconsin have at some time or other
gone on record in favor Of the initia-
tive and referendum and the recall it
is safe guess that the party speak
efs who go the stumps for all parties
this fall will be very strong supporters
of the Initiative and referendum and
that they will also give their attention
to the recall and that in this way the
subject, being discussed before the peo-
pie In a general election, will not be
disregarded. IF their defeat is ac-
complished will be through the fail
ure of their friends to support
them. If there is any decided activity
by the party organizations in their
favor, also, it would seem to be a safe
venture to say that opposition to the
measures of any character is not like
ly to be very effective.
The social democrats will, of course,
do all they can with their party mem
bers IN support of the constitutional
amendment proposed, as both the mi
tiative and Referendum and the recall
are really a part of the social democrat
tic tenets and as such are factors in
governmental reform which from their
standpoint the party is bound to sup
port. In fact, there will be few social
democrats who do not vote for the

states prison at Waupun on Friday

The boxing bill has passed the as
sembly and the men behind the measure
are hopeful that it will go through the
senate without much opposition. Even
the opponents of the bill must admit
that if there are to be boxing matches
in the state they had better be held
under strict regulations and under
proper supervision. There is a good
deal of nonsense about this Especial
permit" game, as it is worked in Wis
eonsin. Under the present law any
show is boxing match or prize fight
just as the local authorities happen to
feel towards the promoters and there
should be one law for the whole state
so drawn that all must conform to it.
There is no justice in permitting a
show in one city that would be declar-
ed a prize fight and stopped in another
city few miles away.
