URGE CHILDREN TO SEE DANGER
Big National Movement to Show Chill
dren Necessity of Curbing Child La
Dor Is Started Throughout Nation
Great Results Are Expected.

The child labor problem was put be-
fore the children themselves through
out the country this year for the first
time. Monday was designated as child
labor day to be observed as has been
the custom for the past ten years in
regular and special church services
generally, but a new step has been
taken by the national child labor COM
mittee in calling upon teachers through
out the country to observe Child Labor
Day in the schools.
The main idea was to get children to
think in their own behalf on the prob
lem of child labor To this end the
national committee has been busily en-
gagged for month past in supplying
teachers, as well as clergymen, with
the latest phases of the movement
against child labor, and proposed that
at chapel exercises or at some special
ly designated period in Monday IS
school work teachers in some manner
take up the subject of child labor with
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1914-01-29


Many states that have made child
labor laws are not seeing that they are
enforced, and the national committee
is now engaged in a careful survey of
the methods Of administering the law
IN the different states.
1.-THE standard Of inspection service
is steadily rising, but we fall far be-
low the English. There are half a
dozen states in which there is no at
tempt at inspection of labor conditions
and therefore no attempt to enforce the
child labor law. And there are per-
haps a score in which the staff of IN
spectors is so ridiculously small that
thorough state wide inspection is ply
sically impossible.
The whole subject of the administra.
ton of child labor laws is to be taken
up at the National Conference on Child
Labor which will be held in New Or
leans next March. Plans are also
under way for celebration Of the tenth
anniversary of the organization of the
national child labor committee which
will be reached on April IA.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1914.
Back to the People.

The rule Of the people is emphasized
in the commission form of government
which has been proposed to the peo-
pie of Kenosha and the complaint that
three men will not be as able to repre-
sent the people Of the wards as sixteen
men is not we'll founded. Under the
present form Of government the people
have no appeal from the action OF the
men they elect to represent them, save
the appeal at the polls which means
the defeat Of the aldermen when they
come up for reelection. This remedy
is not an immediate one and a lot of
bad legislation could be provided be-
fore the election was held. Under the
commission form the rule of the city
is truly placed in the hands of the peo-
pie. The people may stop the enforce
ment Of any ordinance or any resolu-
ton passed by the council of three;
further, they do not have to wait until
election day comes round to recall an
official who is not representing them.
The recall hangs always over the head
of the commissioners like the sword of
Damocles and it has been shown in
many cities that the recall is easy to
use. The simplifed government pro-
yided by the commission form law is
one of it's greatest advantages. Under
the commission form a misrepresented
people can find an immediate remedy.
There is no chance under this form
for the shifting Of responsibility from
one man to another. Just three Of
fcials are responsible for the advance
ment or retrogression of the city. If
the city does not advance the recall
can be employed to secure men better
fitted for the work Of managing the
city. The people become to the city
the same as the stockholders of great
corporation. The directors of the cor
poration man manage it, but let the
directors manage it unwisely and the
stockholders lose no time in getting
new board Of directors. Commission
form of government means business
form There is no loop hole in the law
for the dishonest or incompetent Of
fetal to crawl through. He must give
service If he does not he is subject
to removal and removal without the
perplexing delays Of waiting for an
other political campaign and another
political controlled election. There will
be no commissioners pulled through by
stronger men on the party ticket.
Every man who is named as an official
must stand or fall on his own merits.
Think it over.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1914-01-29

their charges.
Interest taken in the matter is re-
fected in requests which have lately
come in at the rate of over one humid
red day for information, in reply to
which the national committee has dis
tributed quantities Of pamphlets on
the relation of child labor to education.
Indications are that thousands of
teachers will unite with clergymen in
some sort of observance Of the day.
Since the first Child Labor Day was
observed in 1906, such striking pro-
gress has been made that the rank and
file of states today have advanced be-
yond the standard Of the most progress
sive ten years ago, according to Owen
r. Loyejoy, general secretary of the
national child labos committee.
The child labor laws of practically
all states have been revised and i'm
proved; knowledge as to the oondi-
tions Of working children has been
widely spread; the causes, effects and
methods of prevention of child labor
have become matters of thorough sci
entifc study and treatment; a uniform
child labor law for the several states
has been widely approved, and the
federal government has put into sue
cessful operation a children IS bureau.
"But,0 Secretary Lovejoy adds,
I. the white list Of states with a really
effective child labor law covering ten
or more of the common occupations of
children is still very short-only four
teen states in all, and even these have
certain kinds of work outside of the
fourteen year limit.
There are nine states which have
not yet reached 14-year age limit
even for factory work; there is no
state in the union that has attempted
to get an age limit higher than twelve
years for newsboys; and only seven
states have reached a standard of
twenty-one years age limit for night
messengers.
1sBoys of fourteen or less are still
employed at the peril of their moral
and physical integrity in this night
messenger work in a score of states.
Agricultural work is still entirely
unregulated outside Of New York and
Tennessee, and children Of tender years
are doing an adults work in the berry
fields and cranberry boys.

Musty Records of Racine
County Show That County
Chairman Is a Citizen.
FATHER NATURAL|zED IN l843

John 7. Yule, chairman of the
county board and one of the Oldest of
the residents of the city and be it
known still the president of the Park
Avenue Kickers Club, has convinced
the most skeptical that he has not been
masquerading as a wolf in sheep S
clothing and he has secured every legal
document necessary to show his full
right to citizenship. This was secured
from the old musty records of Racine
county and Mr. Yule today is display
ing with a great deal of satisfaction
his full credentials. Mr. Yule was
orn in Scotland, but he came to old
Racine county in 1910 with his father,
the late Alexander Yule, one of the
pioneers of the town Of Somers.
The elder Yule when he arrived was
a citizen of Great Britain and ireland
but the certified copies of the naturali-
cation records of Racine county show
that Alexander Yule appeared before
the clerk Of that county on July 9TH,
1S43 and declared his intention to be-
come a citizen of the United States.
The records fully certified by the clerk
of the circuit court show further that
on the both day of October in the same
year Alexander Yule was formally
made full citizen of the United States
by his remuneration of his allegiance
to Queen Victoria. His witnesses were

record of his naturalization was signed
by H. f. Cox, Jr., at the time clerk of
the circuit court for Racine county.
In securing these certified copies of
his right to citizenship Mr.. Yule has
set an excellent example for other men
in the county. At present there are
scores of men in Kenosha county on

The commission form of government,
if adopted, will have nothing to do
with the election of school commission
ers and it is a good thing to be look
ing about right now to get some good
men interested in running for the Of

one mighty important job. A dishon-
est or incompetent school commission
er will be able to do lot of damage
in Kenosha in the next two years.

We quite agree with the reasoning
Of the Honorable Joe Davies when he
opines that there is no use of giving
up a good fat job in Washington for

William apparently have retrieved
some defeats of the Austrians in Cali
cia and have advanced as far as Jaroz-
lau, II miles northwest of PrZemysl.
The German plan seems to be to
have two armies advance along the
left bank Of the Vistula river while
two other armies swing around on the
right bank to take the defenders OF
Warsaw on their flank. This, accord
ing to Russian accounts, suits the Rus
sian general staff, who are said pur-
posely to have withdrawn to the Wis
tula so that they would have the rail
ways at their back while the Austro.
German forces would have to advance
great distances on roads which at
this time Of the year are little more
than quagmires.

it merely carried out a necessary
operation.
1t is also denied that the Germans
captured many prisoners. They lost
many men by the sorties of the garri-
son until the heavy siege artillery
made any further heroism useless.
The stores of grain had previously
been distributed to the poor. The only
war material captured were two how
