When men and women die, and are
beyond all earthly troubles and criSes,
then the rule Is: Speak no evil of

CossACKs' BRUTALITY PROVEN

Washington, Pa.-Organizcd labor's
hostility to the Pennsylvania State po-
lice, known as "cossacks," was shown
to be justified by the testimony of Coun-
tv Detective Mitchell at the trial of Fred
kolbos, who is charged with murder.
The detective sworc that he was assisted
by several of the State police in their
attempt to eXtort confession from the
accused.
Kolbos said he was hung from the roof
of barn until he was numb and the
blood in his body had rushed to his
head, so that he knew scarcely anything
He said that while he was being pulled
up by the rope one of the State police
thrust gun in his face and threatened
him still further.

GOVERNING SYSTEM LEGAL.

Kansas City, Mo.-The State supreme
Court has upheld the commission form
of government. The town marshal OF
Krksvile lost his job, and attacked the
legality of this governing system. His
attorneys claimed it was "un-American, -
because it combined the judicial and ad-
mnistrative functions.
The court ruled;
1T has been uniformly held that the
municipalities so governed are not in any
sense sovereignities, and hence do not
fall within the provisions of the consti-
tuition which apporton the powers
of sovereign States"
The commission form of government
was first tried in Galveston after the
1900 storm, and since that time has
spread to practically every section Of
the country.

TYPOS FIGHT INSANITATION

Baltimore, Md-Thc Typographical
Union is conducting campaign for
sanitary printing offices, and makes
this point:
"Thc prevention OF tuberculosis and
OF lead poisoning is as necessary as the
prevention of smallpox, and the State
should exert as much effort to stamp
out these so-callcd occupational dis
leases as If does in cradicatng the filthy
ones. They are all scourgcS; they all
spread from dirt, air being as great
menace to society as dirty homes or
dirty streets.
=" 1t may be said that the State is now
doing all that can be done in cradicating
tuberculosis by the establishment OF
sanitarums for the treatment OF tubcr-
cuIous individuals and caring for those
who can not be given attention at these
sanatoria. While praiScworthy, in do
ing this the State is simply shcItcring
the stolen horSc-thc stable door is still

MILL OWNER
DEFENDS CHILD LABOR

New NOrk.-President Sherard Of the
Southern Textile Association opposes
the Palmer Federal Child Labor bill,
which will be rc-introduced at the com
ing session of congress. He says the
bill fixes the age limit for child employ
ment at 16, and now Secretary Lovejoy
of the National Child Labor Committee,
III letter to a southern newspaper, init
mates that if Mr.. Sherard will read the
bill he will find the 1G-year limit applies
only to mines and quarries and that the
limit for workshops is II years.
Other statements by President Sherard
are answered as follows:
But Mr.. Sherard's greatest objection
to the bill is, waving the matter of the
age limit which he misunderstood, that
the south, educationally, is unready for
ii. He says the textile manufacturers
employ children, not because child labor
is cheap, but for the good of the children
(and here let me say that we are glad to
see he admits child labor is not an eco
nomc asset. There being no adequate
school system in the south as yet, he
says, there is no good place for the chill
dren except the mills. Therefore the
mill men employ them This is a most
altruiStic point of view for the manu-
facturer to take, but unfortunately there
seems to be something wrong with their
argument.
in the first place if we were to say
that the southern child has no safe place
to go except the schoolhousc or the cot
ton mill, Mr.. Shcrard and his associates
would resent it as gratuitous insult to
the south In the second place, Mr.. Shcr-

Nov that this law is in operation,
suppose we try the experiment OF let
ting it alone for a while, to see how it
will work. That is what we do with
other laws
The American shipping which has

pending the bill, was all shipping that
would have been transferred in any
event, and this for reasons that would
have existed equally with or without
this bill That part OF the experience
IS, therefore, OF no significance. What
is to come will be OF decided signi6-

cans is to wait and see"
