SCANDINAVIAN REPUBLICANS.

The S~candinav!at Republican league
had a rather quiet session i'll Grand
Forks OF Wednesday. and there was
40 naturalization of the fireworks
which bad been anticipated ovcr an
expected proposal to rave the league
become Il branch of the new
sive rather then Of the republican par
~. II saca u purpose had been enter
tatEed by an%one s,le time was rot
cons;dsse3 oppcrtuns to introduce the
subject. 4: any rate, the league ra-
mains q working organization within
tine repuo!lca5, party. a position which
appears to ne ~cn.inentlw sensible.
One Of tbs Interesting things that
developed at the meeting was the ex-
preston by members in favor Of the
single tax. and the decision to call for
q vote on the subject at some time
In the future from members Of the
league SO that there may be a better
understanding Of sentiment In the
rank and file on this subject. It is not
Improbable that the league. by this
action, will bring into the forefront
among practical subjects for consider
tfon, this highly important one. At
any rate. the discussion which is sure
to result will be highly educative in
4ts influence. and in this respect the
organization has performed a very
useful piece of work.
The league meeting approved the in
.'atiative. referendum and recall Of all
elective officers. and also the proposal
to grant the vote to women. These
arc live subjects, and some decision
concerning them will be reached in
the near future.

with a curious new rush Of courage,
she told him calmly what she was do

Der Ward was careless and foolish. I
remember once your father gave
each of.you children a.dollar to spend
on the Fourth Of July. You lost yours
and Ward gave you his. He was fool

generosity, I'm take you back. 7

ARE truths emphasized once moro by
'fhfee interesting cases Involving in
dustrial and social reform.
The United States supreme court
has, just sustained the validity, under
the national constitution Of tho Illinois
.child labor law in GENERAL n of
one provision that an employer can
not rely on statements Of minors as
to their &c., but must ascertain the
actual age Of minors who apply for
work. II q state may prohibit the
employment Of children. say tho opin-
ion Of Justice Hughes. it may pre-
scribe conditions Of such employment
within reasonable limits without vio-
lating the guarantees Of personal lib
srty and property.
At San Francisco the federal district
court sustained an act providing that
nurses shall not work more than eight
hours a day In any hospital. The
court regarded the act as a necessary
protection rather than an arbitrary
diserimination against women in the
nursing profession.
/ In Oregon a circuit court sustained
tho act creating an industrial welfare
commission and enabling II to estab--
fish minimum wages for women and
minorA. II, said the court. hours NAV

safety and merais. laws" fixing living
wages arc necessarily constitutional
because they properly complement or
supplement tho other lines of gull

Such decfsions a. these to repeat.
are symptomatic. The spirit Of the
times prompts them. The courts NAV

pi, 1911, or 49.7 per cent, are native
whites, and 1,OO9,4S7, or 562 per cent,
negroes. The corresponding percent
ages in 1900 were 4l.3 and 5S.5 re-
spectively. In 3S of, the 79 counties
the population is more than one-half
negro. and in II of them more than
three-fourths negro, the highest per
centage of negroes being that of Issa-
quena county (94.2)
Native whites of native parentage
constitute 42.1 per cent of the total
population of the state, and 96.3 per
cent of the white population. Native
whites of foreign or mixed parentage
constitute only IL per cent of the
total population, and foreign born
whites 0.5 per cent.

Among the whites there are 104.7
males to 100 females; among the ne
groes 992. Among the native whites
the ratio is 1O41 to 100, as compared
with 1877 to 100 for the foreign-born

Mississippi and 1875 per cent outside
the state; of the native white popula
ton, 14.7 per cent were born outside
