over sixty thousand more than Taft

WHAT CHANCE HAS A NEGRO.

WHAT CHANCE HAS A NEGRO.
Keokuk Gate City: Just how far
is the door of opportunity shut to ne
groes? A searching answer to this
question has been made by the JuV-
emile Protective Association of Chi
cago. Startled at the discovery that
one-eighth of the boys and young
men, and nearly one-third of the
girls and young women confined in
the Jail Of that city a year ago were
negroes, the association sought to
find the reason why. The results of
the investigation are reported in the
Survey by Mrs. Louise de Koven
Bowen, president of the organization.
Good home environment is often
denied negroes, for they find it diff
ficult to move into desirable parts of
the city. Colored young people be-
come discouraged in efforts to secure
education, for employers who use
colored persons at all, place and keep
them usually in menial labor. The
chance for skilled work and good
Job is small. OF the colored men in
Chicago, IL per cent work in saloons
and pool rooms. The virtue Of COL
ored girls is placed in jeopardy, for
employment agencies openly send
them to work as maids in disorderly
houses-where white girls are not
sent, the agency fearing charges of
pandering if they are forced into
prostitution.
Opportunities for play and amuse-
ment are meagre. Of fifteen small
parks and play grounds, only two
were utilized by colored children.
They avoid the others because of
! friction with white children.
But the most cruel injustice is
done in "suspecting' negroes Of
crime and railroading them to pris-
on on flimsy evidence. The Associa-
ton has found fragrant instances
one in which a negro boy was fright
ened ed and kicked into confess
ing rape. He was sentenced to four
teen years. The Association found
indisputable proof that the boy was
innocent.

There are in the United States
about 125,OOO telephone girls, whose
average term of service is three
years or less. The working hours are
about eight per diem; the average
number of calls is about 140 per
hour, running, "at the peak" to 225
or more. The operator sits facing a
switchboard which is covered with
numbers, each number having a
small light that flashes on and off as
the call is completed. When the per-
son calling raises his receiver, a
light flashes on the switchboard at
central" and this light continues to
burn until the operator plugs" the
number and receives the call. She
then plugs the number called for
and this light burns until the called
person raises his receiver from the
hook. When the receivers are final
ly replaced on their hooks, both
lights flash and burn until the oper-
ator removes the connecting plugs,
To complete one call means four
flashes of light. AS the average
number of calls is 14O per hour, with
225 or more during the rush hours
the operators eyes are exposed to
from 500 to 1000 flashes of light
every hour, resulting in fatigue tc
the eyes, to say nothing of the men
tai and physical strain under which
the operator constantly works The
Bell System, in 1911, spent $780,
953 for rest-rooms and lunch-rooms
for the operators, and it has secured
sufficient air space and good illumin-
alton, yet, although only young and
healthy girls are selected, the aver
age length of service does not exceed
three years. The symptoms of eye
strain which the girls develop are
headache, dullness, indigestion, ex-
haustion, nerve strain, insomnia,
colds, and so forth. The two or three
short years of telephone work possi-
Bile to the girls, as well as nine
tenths of all their suffering, is prob
ably due to the constant near-range
eyework, without proper protection
for the eyes.

They have installed an electric
spanker in the public schools Of
Huntington, West Virginia. The
board found it almost impossible to
maintain discipline on account of
the good right arms of the teachers
being unequal to the tasks imposed
upon them. The spanker consists OF
a board of proper dimensions pro-
pelled by electricity, and gives five
sharp spanks second. The opera
ton can be repeated indefinitely.
That might be a good thing for some
of the towns to install and use upon
young girls who parade the streets
at unreasonable hours. OF course
Webster City doesn't need such de-
vice, but it would undoubtedly fill a
long felt want in Fort Dodge or
Boone.

One good thing about the demo-
crate victory last fall Is that it put
quietus upon the democratic howl
against the high cost of living. The
party leaders promised relief to the
consumers, but up to this time no re-
lief is in sight. Possibly the work
ing man will have to turn to the
progressive party to get what he
wants in that respect.

The Des Moines Capital declares
that the G. o. P. is not dead and to
prove its assertion calls attention to
the fact that the party elected five
out of seven candidates for county
offices in Nassau county, New York,

seems to have overlooked the cleo
tion of republican constable in one
OF the back districts Of Massachu-

AS soon as the republican nation
al committee decides to re-organize
the party and the convention called
for that purpose has completed it's
labors, it will be known whether or
not the party will have a fighting
chance at the next presidential elec-
tion. 1t must be a genuine re-organ-
ization if the party is to come back.
The talk of Senator Kenyon as
chairman of the republican national
committee, indulged in down east,
was only talk. The senator announ-
ces that under no circumstances

opposed to members Of congress oc-

try to get bill passed prohibiting

FEAR THAT WILSON
MAY HOLD UP JOBS
Democrats Hear That He Will
Withhold Patronage to
Force Tariff Bill.

Washington. January Stories that
President Elect Wilson is going "a
hold back the distribution of jobs until
he gets the sort of tariff bill he wants
within sight of the statute books are
recurring in Washington with alto
gether too much frequency To give

the blood of the office-hunters ana the
members et Congress who are giving
their friends assurance they will be

The fact that there is substantial
reason to believe this is the policy the
President-elect will follow makes the
outlook for the opening Of the new
administration doubly interesting.
When Mr.. Wilson gets into the White
House. he will have an enormous lot OF
patronage at his disposal. much more
than will go around the crowd seeking
the places.
He can follow the policy OF Givin z
all his stock in trade away or he can
keep a lot OF Il IN HE pockets. Some
Of his friends last November declared
the new President would be In no
great hurry to al all the Offices. and
now they feel they have better reason
than ever for that prediction.
President Taft tised the policy Of
furnishing the insurgents in Congress
by Withholding patronage. lie made a
complete failure of il. one reason was
that public sehtimenr In then ioceh-
ties was with the insurgents and the
other was that when President Taft
