In personal interviews with men,
bers of the city council, the editor Of
The Gem Worker learns that the city
engineer has been instructed to inves-
tigate the governments power plant
at Diversion dam and also other pow
er sites with the view of the establish
ment of a municipal power plant TO
furnish light and power for the city
and individual use.
The Gem Worker is compiling
facts and figures relative to the
charges for light and power in COM
parison between cities owning their
own plants and in those where pub
lie utilities are owned by corporations.
The members of the council assur-
ed us that they were favorable to any
feasible plan that will give the city
its own power plant, and it would
seem that with the abandonment of
Diversion dam by the government
upon the completion of the Arrow
Rock dam that the plant there could
be made available for Boise. If Di-
version dam is not adequate, arrange
ments could doubtless be made with
the national government for the use
of power from the Arrow Rock dam,
of the capacity of which there can be
no doubt
Municipal ownership Of all public
utilities is the demand of the hour
and is now the leading issue in all
progressive municipalities. Hon. Car
ter Harrison, in his retiring message
as Mayor of Chicago asserts that
that citv must take the shortest cut
possible to municipal ownership, and
this is recognized to be the case
everywhere. The Gem Worker pur-
poses to be untiring in its efforts to
forward the cause in Boise.

A KNocKER AND A BOOSTER

When the Creator had made all
the good things, there,was still some
dirty work to do, so He made the
beasts and reptiles and poisonous in
sects, and when He finished He had
some scraps that were too bad to put
into the rattlesnake and hyena. the
scorpion and the skunk, so He put
all these together, covered it thick
with suspicion, wrapped it with
jealousy, marked it with a yellow
streak. and called it a "knocker"
This product was so fearful to con-
template that He had to make some
thing to conteract it, so He took a
sunbeam and put it in the heart of a
child the brain of a man, wrapped
these in civic pride, covered it with
brotherlv love. gave it mask of vel
vet and grasp of steel, and called it
booster" made him lover of fields
and flowers and manly sports, be-
lever in equality and justice and ever
since these two we're, mortal man has
had the privilege of choosing his as
sociations.-Spokane Ad Club Bull

"A DORMANT SOCIAL coNscI-
ENCE.

The effort to raise the child labor
limit in Illinois from fourteen to six
teen years is meeting with more ops
position than is creditable to the
State. # the future citizens Of this
county are to be men and women
worthy Of their opportunities they
must have a better beginning than is
possible with children leaving school
al the age of fourteen 10 enter the
ranks OF the bread-winners. The
child at that age lacks the physical,
mental and moral strength to with
stand the strain Of modern CONNER
ciaIism; and the education that has
been acquired at the age of fourteen
is not sufficient to form basis for the
culture that every American man and
woman should have. Twenty-six
thousand boys and girls in Illinois be-
tween the age of fourteen and sixteen
are now engaged in industrial occupa-
tons. A too common result of this
early labor was shown in the person
of the Lithuanian girl who appeared
before the House committee having
the bill in charge. Her form was
stunted, and her health broken, from
working with dyes in a hair-dying
factory when she was fourteen years
old. This is not wise treatment for
the possible mothers of Presidents.

Better economic conditions is the
real solution of the child labor prob
lem; but in matters of life and death,
and, what is worse, in the presence of
the strangulation of human character,
society cannot always wait upon the
slow process of evolution. With bet
ter economic conditions there will be
less call for the employment of young
children in gainful occupations; but
whether it be economic necessity or
parental cupidity that forces the
child into the ranks of labor, when it
should be at play and in school, the
State is as much bound to stand be-
hind the child and protect it from
harm, as though it were menaced by
physical danger.-The Public.

Miss Anne Davis, Of the Chicago
public schools. testified that the work
of these children is such as requires
no education, and develops into no
trade or calling Beginning at this
early age, Miss Davis said, the child
rem were not only stunted in mind and
body, but were subject to heart trou-
bic and tuberculosis. And so evil
were influences, she said. that bust
ness men had told her they did not
like to hire boys who had been mes
senger boys, because of the knowl-
edge and habits which they had
picked up. Miss Jane Addams sub
stantiated this statement as to the inn
moral influences to which child-work-
ers were subjected by calling atten-
tion to the fact that messenger boys
had been required to visit opium dens
and other sinks of iniquity, in the dis
charge of their duties.

cleaned, and the place where the food
Is kept scalded with sal-soda solution.
