TO- SERVE -FOUR
YEARS IN HAWAII
War Department Decides to Elk
tend Term of Service in the
p Islands. 3, .... &

WASHINGTON, January 25.-The
War Department has decided that
length of term OF duty of Army officers,
line and staff, in Hawaii hereafter
shall be four years instead of three, as
has been the custom. The term Of
duty in the Philippines and the Pan
anna Canal. zoke win remain at three
years. In previous years when the
sanitary conditions in the Philippines
were not so good as at present, the
term of duty for staff officers was two
and one-half years, and for lipe Off
GERS two years, and later this was ex'
tended TO three years for both classes
of officers
The increase Of duty by one year
for officers in Hawaii is based on the
fact that the climatic conditions there
justify the same length of service al
in the United States.

Edison Tries His Hand At Sending q

Detroit, Oct. 2S.-Thomas A. Edi-
SON, the inventor. who has been vis-
iting the scenes OF his boyhood for the
last week, cast on the mantle of his
years and on q trip to Port Huron
once more tried his hand at the oper-
ator key and even went SO far as to
take the wares from a train boy and
sell them among his friends.
AS a boy. Mr.. Edison sold papers
and worked as an operator for the
same railroad over which he travelled
to Port Huron. His last trip, however
was in q special train engaged by his
host, Henry Ford, a local manufac-
turer- As the inventor passed through
Mount Clemens, he stepped into the
telegraph operators Office and tapped
of message to his children in New
Jersey. The message was interrupted
however. The Mount Clemens oper-
ator turned to Mr.. Edison with a smile
and said: AN operator on the line
Is complaining. He says there is q
boy on the wire; whose practicing il

CHuD LABOR HnAsURED.

A pamphlet. 1.-The Extent OF Child
Labor Officially Measured" based on
the new volume Of the last United
States census, has just been published
by the National Child Labor commit
tee to show the amount of child labor
in THIS country. The census volume
gives figures for children 10 to IL
only, emitting all figures for children
under 10, and the National Child La
Dor committee states that since many
children under 10 are known to be at
work, the number of child laborers.
given in the census as 1.99O.225,
would undoubtedly be 100000 were
the children under 10 included.
But the results Of the work of the
National Child Labor committee and
its affiliated organizations are shown
in the reduction of the number of
children under IA engaged in nom
agricultural pursuits. from 1S6.35S in
1900. to $3.50 in 1910.
The pamphlet calls particular at
tention. however. to the need Of pro-
agriculture, who are often thought to
be employed under better conditions
than mill hands. Children employed
in the Maryland. Delaware, and New
Jersey berry and vegetable fields. and
in the Texas cotton fields, are cited as
examples of agricultural laborers who
work under unfavorable conditions.
and who, according to the testimony
of school authorities. are receiving lit
tie or no education or industrial train
ing.
OF the S95.976 children under IA at
work. 582,S81. or IS per cent, are
employed in the 8 states where there
is no 14-year age limit for work in
factories, or in the 10 other states
where the 14-year limit is weakened
by exemptions. The passage of the
Palmer-Owen bill, now before con-
gress, to prohibit interstate commerce
in the products of child labor. would
greatly reduce the number of children
under IA at work in factories in these
states. and is therefore eagerly sought
by the opponents Of child labor.
Other children who would be at
fected by the passage of the Palmer
owen bill are those between IA and 16
who are allowed to work at night in
10 states who work hours a day in
20 states, and who may be employed
in mines in 10 mining states. There
are only 9 states in the union which
have all the provisions of the Palmer
Owen bill, SO that its passage would
greatly reduce the amount of child Ia
Dor and make the number of child
workers given in the next census much
less than 100000.

Frightful as is the cost of wars. still
more frightful is the cost of legislation

seek to regulate to death our indus
trial.. railroad and banking systems.
writes John A. Sleicher. in Leslie's. The
billions which must be raised to meet
the war kill in Europe are overmatched
by the billions of losses in the values of
American securities during the past
few years, while untried, inexperienced.
weak and sometimes wicked mediocri-
ties have been legislating to put capital
out of. rather than into business and
workmen out of. rather than into the
factory.
Something must be radically wrong
when sterling railroad properties of the
best class. with the highest operating
efficiency, that have always been kept
in the best condition.. by managers Of
the greatest ability, show diminishing
returns. steadily expanding expenses
and not profits shrinking to the point
where dividends are beginning to disap-
pear.
We have learned by the lesson of the
war tnaC the CldmOr against our SFcat
exchanges by political agitators was
founded on an utter misconception of
the work they do. The cotton growers
have learned how much better off they
are when there is a market where
every bale can find a buyer or a seller.
The holders OF securities. large and
small. are realizing that without the
Stock Exchange. they are left to. the
tender mercies of the .shyster and the
pawnbroker.
There must be a, swift change in the

If continued, must lead to widespread
disaster. Steps must be retraced. ILL

advantage should be forgotten in the
patriotic desire to promote the welfare
of the nation.
