Why should Children Uuder 10
Have An s-Hour Day In Maryland.

Over one-third of all the indus
under Is, thus lessening their earn
ing power for the rest OF their lives
The longer the. working period in
any given day, the greater the num-
Der OF accidents. A cniId's mind is
not maGured enough to be carefui
IN avoiding accidents.
Because in certain places in the
United states the death rate of child
rem working in factories is twice as
sn as children in the same locality
not working. Children need time
for fresh air, recreation and growth.
1t has been the experience OF
France, Belgium, Germany and some
places i'll the United States that an
S-hour day does not decrease out
put and increase cost of production.
lhe testimony OF the Stafford Iron
Works, Manchester, England, is
after eleven years: "Our experience
since the first year in which it CAS-
hour system week. was tried has
fully borne out the conclusion then
arrived at, and we are July satisfied
mat as regards the comparison be-
tween eight and nine hours per day,
me balance of advantage is in favor
u the shorter period.

ployees) Rockford, Ill, says: "The

The Newsboy OF baltimore.

At present there is a bill before
the General Assembly of Maryland
to restore the minimum age of
licensed newsboys to twelve years.
curing the 1914 session the age was
lowered from twelve to ten years.
Each year since then about seven
hundred boys between ten and
twelve years old have been selling
papers on the streets of Baltimore
This means they subject them
selves to all sorts OF accidents while
hopping on and Off street-cars; they
can enter saloons and poolrooms,
and have time and opportunity to
beg and gamble. Last year 54 per
cent or over one-haIf, of all the
accidents occurred to boys under 16
on the street; 1s of all the licensed
newsboys were found in one year
to be on the records of the Juvenile
Court for charges other than VIC
lations of the Child Labor Laws.
Newsboy trading encourages tru-
ancy, as is shown by the fact that
95 per cent of all the boys in the
truant school in Baltimore have
been newsboys. Perhaps one out of
every thousand of newsboys rises
to prominence in later life, but how
many of these boys become vicious
citizens, gunner, gamblers and
dangerous characters who received
their first training in vice on the
streets of large city. According
to the Federal reports, newsboys
offer the higest per cent (21.83) of
offenders within the trade of any
of the Industries employing children.
In 1915 over two thousand boys
between 10 and 16 were licensed
to sell papers in Baltimore. This
meant an over supply of street
traders which always results in a
lowering of earnings. Over q of
the newsboys earn less than $2.OO
a week. This does not pay for ex-
ira wear and tear of clothes and
shoes, exposure to weather; loss of
sleep and interference with school.
If these 700 small boys are taken
off the streets, their families would
not be deprived of bread and butter,
as only about 10 per cent of the
total number of these boys claim
they help their parents.
Kentucky has Ia year limit and
Delaware, Massachusetts, Wiscon-
sin, Alabama, Pennsylvania, New
York and other states have twelve
year limit for newsboys and cities
in these States still publish papers.

The Cecil Wing in commenting
on the bills before the Legislature
calling for bond issue of 100000
by Cecil county for reconstructing
the Court House, and also one OF
100000 for additional improved
roads, states that questions of this
kind are the sort which should be
referred to the people themselves
for endorsement or rejection;
because the people have to pay the
bills in the form of increased taxa
ton. The reason a section is not
added to the Bills, referred to
above. providing for reference to
the people is because such ref
erence is now at the peoples dis
pOsal, under the new Referendum
section of the Constitution. BY
the provisions of the amended Con
stitution no Bill can become law
until June /, succeeding the Legis-
lature's adjournment. Meanwhile
if 10 per cent. of the qualified
voters petition for reference OF
the Bill to the people for vote,
such vote shall be taken and the
Bill shall not become a law unless
approved by q majority of the
voters.

Lee a Candidate For denomination.

Lee Candidate For denomination.
United States Senator Blair Lees
certificate Of candidacy for renomi'
nation in the Democratic primary
was fled March 16 with Secretary
of State Thomas w. Simmons by
the Senator's son, Brooke Lee.
Mr.. Lee deposited 1910, the
amount required of candidates for
nomination for the Senate.
He said that his father would
make no statement at this time re-
garding his candidacy, but that he
would go out before the Democratic
voters very shortly and make a
thorough campaign in all the coun-
ties and in Baltimore city.
It is believed that Senator Lees
entrance into the fight for the
Democratic nomination closes the
lists in that party. Congressman
David j. Lewis and William Cabell
Bruce announced their candidates.
good while ago. So far as known,
no one else is thinking of becoming
candidate. The lists will close
April /. Under the Primary
Election law, all candidates for
nomination for Senator must file
not later than 30 days before the
primary. The primary this year
will be held on the first Monday in
May, which is May 1. In Presi-
Dental years, the primary is held
in May instead of in September.
It is accepted in political circles
that Senator Lee will have the sup
port of the Preston Mahon organi-
cation in Baltimore city, as he did
in the Gubernatorial primary last
year when the city organization
broke from the State organization
and backed Senator Lee against
Governor Harrington. And it is
understood that Senator Lee also
will have the support of the county
forces, which were with him in his
fight last year.
No one knows what the Smith
Harrington people intend to do, or
whether they intend to do any,
thing as State organization. 1t
is safe to say that Governor Har.
rington's local organization in Dor
chester county, his home, will be
for Mr.. Lewis.
Senator Smith has given no indi-
cation of his plans. 1t is known
that some of his friends are averse
to his taking charge of another hot
primary fight.
It may be that Senator Smith
will decide not to take an active
part in the fight, but to throw his
general influence to Mr.. Lewis.
There is not believed to be much
chance that he will support Mr..
Bruce, either actively or passiyely,
and there is hardly a chance in the
world that he will back Senator
Lee.
