CLEMENCY TO
TWO coNvICTS

at the time Of Pearce's conviction and
the persistent claim that Pearce did not
have a fair trial, aided greatly in Sc
curing a communication OF his sentence.
Death Over Horses.
Pearce, who was formerly county
treasurer and a county commissioner
in Stanton county, shot and killed Sill
vey when the men quarreled concern
ing the pasturing Of some horses.
Several men who served on the jury
admitted that they had Waited Silvey's
home and viewed the body after the
killing and that they retained opinions
which would require evidence to re-
move. Captain J. G. Waters Of To-
peka conducted the defense for
Pearce and he protested against the
acceptance Of these men as jurors.
To reject them meant the virtual &C
ouittal of Pearce since every effort to
secure a jury in the sparsely settled
county had been exhausted. Thomp-
son permitted the men to serve.
Following Pearce's conviction. the
case was appealed to the supreme
court and the case was affirmed. In
an application for a rehearing, capt.
Waters filed one of the most bl1ster1ng
arraignments of modern day judicial
procedure ever written by Kansas
lawyer. He asserted that the courts
in ignoring established precedents
were furnishing arguments for the re-
call Of the judiciary and judicial dec1,
sions. But the supreme court failed
to grant a rehearing.

appointee of John S. Dawson, attorney
general. The case was one OF the
most famous and most bitterly fought
criminal trials in the history of south
western Kansas. So intense was the
interest in the case that many people
drove from adjoining counties and
camped on the townStie OF johnson

in shops under Miss Bressettes juris-
diction work 81 hours a week.
Except in rare instances. the employ
er makes little or no inquiry into the
home life, habits or circumstances of
the girls in his employ. For this rea-
son. it was necessary for Miss Bres-
settle to conduct 2 personal campaign
for information concerning conditions
Of the Kansas working girl. Much Of
this information is covered in her
biennial report.
In her inspection Of factories. Miss
Bressette found great many young
and inefficient workers among the en-
ployed women. The majority of these
women are inefficient because Of lack
of training or proper education to fit
them for the work at hand Many 9TH

these shops for a weekly wage.
Following her report. Miss Bres-
concerning the female labor question
in Kansas. But in the report is not
one word in favor of minimum
wage for women. In fact, 1T Is quite
generally understood that Miss Bres-
settle does not favor minimum wage.
She has learned in her close study OF
conditions, she declares, that such an
act would not improve the cond1t1on
of the average working girl, while it
would legislate out of employment
the inefficient or the girl who is able
to work but not able to earn an estab-
lished wage.
Her Recommendations.
Yet there are many things which
Miss Bressette would do for the Kan
sas working girl. She urges a wage
commission with power to regulate
and dictate wages in all lines of In
dustry in which women are employed:
She wants a maximum hour law to
apply to women and children under
Is years of age who are employed in
gainful occupations. She urges that
the legislature enact a mothers COM
pensation act. She believes that or
SANITATION of women workers is a
good thing Added to it all. she
would provide for industrial education
in common schools and high schools
of the state.
Miss Bressette's study of conditions
in factories and shops where women
are employed has convinced her that
a large percentage of the married wo-
men who are employed from necessity
are mothers supporting or assisting in
the support Of family.
1t is because OF such conditions,
perhaps that the woman laborer has
suffered at the hands OF the employer.
Where wages are low. hours are usu-
ally exceptionally long. Miss Bressette
found in her trips through the Kansas
shops and factories 1t is in support
Of this al gument that Miss Bressette
furnishes facts and figures to show
that "a per cent Of the women en-
ployed in Kansas shops and industries
