CHURCH NURSERY LATEST.
Care for Babies and Small Children During Services at Methodist Church.

With the aim of making it possible for parents having small children to attend church services, provision has been made at the Methodist church for the establishment of a nursery The following announcement concern ing this departure was made by the pastor, Rev. w. F. Cook, at yesterday mornings services:
 Under the leadership of Mrs. Rack
 life we have now made provision to care for babies and small children duflng the morning church service, so that mothers may come and enjoy the serVlce. No arrangements need to be made before hand. You - can bring your children any Sunday morning when convenient and they Will be cared for in good warm room of the church, far enough re- moved so that the service will not be disturbed.
 The Children's church: Under the leadership of Miss Florence Ladd and Miss Clara Ward we have made pro- vision to care for the children who come for the childrens sermon so ; that these little people do not have to stay through the remainder of the service which they do not understand Al thlS Ch1ldren'S Hour the children are told stories and otherwise inter- l ested and helped. It is not our pur- l pose to make this another Sunday
 school session and so great freedom 1 is allowed. We expect soon to install | sand tables and a lantern so that pie 1 lures can be shown with the stories l Our idea is to help the children tc l love the church and grow up natur. i ally in it's life.
 ] For the benefit of those who do no
 know of the general plan, let us say
 that the children come to the morn | ing service at 10:45 and remain fol 1 about twenty minutes during which
 time there is song and Bible reading
 and prayer with a special Children: sermon, usually in story form, whicI the little people can readily under
 stand and enjoy. We believe that one l of the great tasks of the church i: l to train the children to love tn,
 church and it's life. This cannot b,
 done by the Sunday school alone. Al l children are welcome whether par
 ents are members of the church oI not.

POLICE ARE BUMS,
 LAWYERS L0AFERS
And Franklin St. Woman Threat
 ems to Kill Them All

Mrs. Angelina Lamonte of 2o Franklin street, after being fined S6 and costs by Judge James T. Mes- kill in police court this morning TOT permitting insanitary conditions to exist in her tenements, flew into d tirade of rage and after court had adjourned she shouted that the po- lice were all buns and the court officers and legal lights were lazy loafers. She vehemently insisted that she would not pay her fine, not IT I have to stay here htty years. When her husband paid the So ana costs, however, she meekly followed him outside, leaving a parting threat if the police or health officers ever visited her house again she would "kill all."
 Mrs. LamOnte was arrested OH complaint of Dr. T. E. Reeks, su- perintendent of the health depart ment. Since October 8 he and his assistant, John T. O'Brien, have been trying to make the woman repair the insanitary toilets and sinks but she had declined to do so. Last WedneS- day they visited her house again and she attacked them with club. On Thursday they returned protected by the uniform, badge and brass buttons of Officer Matthias Rival, but even that failed to awe Mrs. La monte and once more she attempted tc put them to route.
 The woman declared that she could not afford to pay to have the house repaired as she did not have money enough to buy shoes for her self or babies. Her husband also told a. povertv story which was discredit- ed when Chief Rawlings told the court that only last week he came to the police station to bail out a friend. At that time he ripped a S1OO bill from a big roll of green backs

latter was false, and that he was com.
PEELED to prepare the kind of labor or
ganizatiOn that the Rockfellers could
control.
All the specific evidence produced
by the Commission would have been
superf1uous had the people been &C.
customed to tracing economic causes
and effects. No investigation is me-
cessary to prove that man must be
badly injured who falls from the roof
OF skyscraper to the street. So no
investigation is really necessary to
prove that plutocracy and Industrial
slavery must exist in nation which
adopts land system that grants to
some the power to give or withhold
permission to use it's natural resourc-
es. Reasoning from cause to effect.
together with a knowledge of natural
economic laws, will as accurately
SHOW the result as any long drawn out
investigation. But the Commission
has presented the concrete proof of
the conclusions Of abstract economic
logic. 1t has made the proof of the
existence of an industrial despotism
so clear that Mackenzie King after
much squirming was at last driven to
detiantly admit it. The forcing of
this defiant admission was alone an
achievement for which the thanks of
the American people are due Frank P,

WALSH'S GREAT WORK,

well done," is the verdict which
tie Commission on Industrial Rela-
tons deserves to have passed on it's
work. There have been many prev
ious official Investigations of indus
trial matters, but none that investi-
gated SO thoroughly. The usual prac-
tice has hitherto been that when the
investigation had gotten on the trail
OF something tangible it would ABRUPT
ly cease. When it seemed that there
were about to be disclosed some in
side facts about whited sepulchre,
when there was about to be traced
the connection between an acknow]
edged evil and an eminently respec-
able institution, the investigators
would adjourn. Later, report would
appear telling nothing that had moi
been generally admitted before. But
this investigation has been different.
Under the able and energetic guild
ance Of Chairman Frank P. Walsh. no
trail was abandoned until it was fol.
lowed to its end. Witnesses, who did
not like to disclose all that the public
should know, were not gently allowed
to keep such matters to themselves
MI. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has
found that not even the angry pro-
tests OF press, anxious to serve the
wealthy, could save him from tue
treatment that an ordinary witness n
court draws on himself when he with.
holds facts that he ought to tell. It
required extraordinary courage on
Chairman Walsh's part to brave the
storm OF abuse into which even some
honest papers and individuals were
drawn.
The newspaper cutlery arose when
IL became clear that Walsh wanted ex-
planned evidence he had obtained
which indicated that Rockefeller had
been less ignorant than he claimed
concerning Colorado; that some moves
had been made to control avenues of
publicity; that legislation framed by
corporation lawyers to head off laws
in the interest of labor, had been with.
out difficulty enacted into law; that
the machinery of government in GER
tain localities seemed controlled bv
Rockefeller subordinates; that the
conviction of John R. Lawson looked
like an observation-disclosures affair; and
that there was light needed on other
matters that might not make a good
showing for pretentions of piety, phil
anthropy and good citizenship. The
investigation was getting dangerous.
i 1t was leading to possible consequence
es; and an investigation that takes
such direction must, according to
the plutocratic view, be headed off.
But Walsh was not to be headed off
Had Rockefeller been frank from the
start he would surely have been spar
ed the humiliation that he brought on
himself, and would not have been re-
luctantly exposed by his own employee,
Mackenzie King, in the admission that
the pretense of q free hand for the
