COMPLAINTS FILED VIOLAT-
 ORS CHILD LABOR LAW

Little Rock, May l9.-There is a renewed interest in the enforcement of the Child Labor Law, due to the activity Of Labor Commissioner Clary. MT. Clary this week filed complaints with the prosecuting at torney about the violation of the law by the Majestic Theatre. in permit ting children to appear on the stage. The cases have not been disposed of in the courts.
 Attorney General Wallace Davis has given the Commissioner the fol- lowing opinion in the premises:
 Under the state of facts detailed by you, it is your duty to make for nal and written complaint to the Prosecuting attorney of the district wherein the violation of the labor statutes is alleged to have taken place and that it is then the duty of the prosecuting attorney to enforce the law against the same.
 q do not see how you yourself could further prosecute these matters The filing of information, upon which warrants of arrest can issue, is a pre- rogative to be exercised solely ny the prosecuting attorneys and their depu- ties.
 When you have filed formal com plaint, detailing the facts and cir .cumstances connected with the all legged violation of labor acts, you have fulfilled your duty.'

sHINeLlNe HIS OWN ROOF.

Chaplain McCabe once told the story of a drinking man, who, being in a saloon late at night, heard the wife of the saloonkeeper say to her husband:
 Send that fellow home: it's late"
 No, never mind" replied the hus- band, he is shingling our house for us"
 The idea lodged in the mind of the drunkard and he did not return to the saloon for six months When passing the saoonkeeper on the street, the latter said
 Why don't you come round to my place any more?"
 Thank you for your kind hospi- tality," replied the former victim, I've been shingling my own roof lately"

WATCH YOUR LIBRARY.

While getting ready to inaugurate a prize essay contest, a w. C. T. U. woman investigated the public local library to see what the children would find in the way of reference books, and discovered that of ten books on
 the temperance shelf seven were against total abstinence and prohibi- tion. Among these were Religion and Drink Drink, Temperance and Legislation" "A Text Book of True Temperance. Alcohol, the Sanction for It's Use" Prohibition, the Enemy of Temperance" Prohibition, It's Re- lation to Temperance, Good Morals and Sound Government" The local union immediately called the attention of the library board to the incon- sistency of permitting the liquor inter- ests to teach intemperance through the city library, when the law express ly provides that the children shall be taught in the schools the evil effects of drinking liquor.

UP AGAINST MODERN BUSINESS

It isn't the crank who is putting the liquor traffic out of business It's the business man, the railroad man, the banker. the lawyer, the merchant. the men who have to depend upon some. one else for efficiency in the various departments of the important works. The liquor traffic is up against the modern business age. It is up against an enemy that 1t cannot throttle or buy or browbeat or bluff, and 1t might as we'll save what it can and go out oi usiness.-Wichita Beacon.

PROHIBITION GOVERNORS.

Each of the seven states which out Iawed the liquor traffic January l IS fortunate in having a governor who is heartily in favor of prohibition and will uphold the law
 Governor Carlson of Colorado says he will enforce it even to the extent of calling upon the state militia Gov ernor Lester of Washington urges an appropriation of $50,000 to be used in enforcement. Governor Wtthy- combe of Oregon expresses confidence that an overwhelming majority or the citizens of the state mean to see that the provisions of the law are lived up to and that they may count upon his help to the utmost. Governor Alex ander's vigorous championship of the statutory prohibition law of Idaho is we'll known, and his personal influence was used to secure the referendum on the constitutional amendment to be taken next November
 When Governor Hay of Arkansas signed the prohibition bill, he said: Il believe the most manly act of my life, an act that will mean much to me. to my conscience, to my wife, to my two little boys, and to the people of the state to which l owe so much, was the act 1 performed when l placed my sig nature to the bill which gave Arkansas statewide prohibition"
 The attitude of Governor Clarke of Iowa is indicated by his remarks when he signed the measure repeating the mulct law and putting into effect state wide prohibitions: The punishment of the saloon ought to mean the enamel patton of many a laboring man, the joy of the wife in his home, better conditions and better outlook on life for his child"
 South Carolina's governor in his | New Years greeting declared that, With the help of God and the sup port of the people the prohibition law shall be rigidly enforced so long as am governor
