DR.. GRANGER MAKES PLEA
FOR THE CHILD WORKERS
Presbyterian Pastor Also Calls for
Enforcement of Law Against
Reckless Auto Operators.

DIR. c. Everest Granger, preaching
last night at Gunton Temple Memorial
Presbyterian Church. made u strong
plea for the child workers in mills and
factories, for a more rigid enforce
ment of law against reckless automo-
bile drivers, and for a general broaden
ing of the commandment, Thou shalt
not KILL
Not all the murderers are in Jail.
he declared. Consider the lawful, civ
ilized slaughter of the innocents' going
on in mines, factories and shops in
this and other countries. Life blood is
being squeezed out of stunted boys and
girls to fatten the pocketbooks Of
owners and operators. And these men,
with the Legislators who permit such
things, these respectable murderers,
nlinSle with society every day..
After reciting the cases of dlvlneS OF
Washington who have been killed or
injured by automobiles in recent years,
DIR. Granger said:
Most autoists make too fine calcula-
tions AMI take too many chances. Even
the law that motors shall stop fifteen
feet behind q street car is being indif-
ferentlv observed. We see women. who
are generally reckless, driving cars as
big as dreadnaughts.
DR. Granger described the present
war as a "woefu1 lapse into savagery
worthy OF the stone age or the South
Sea islanders"

BE warned, Mrs. Hates said,
against the first three months of this
year. There will he great mercantile
disasters. There will be vivid revolu-
tions and backSets and strikes i'll the
iron industry. Empires will fall and
republics rise. President Wilson will
not be mediator in the European war,
because he will have enough trouble
at home to keep him busy. There will
be war to the teetf-yea, and to the
brain-in that big building on Capitol
Hill.
The feminist movement will make
great strides: a larger army and navy
Will be provided for our country. There
