HUGHES ONLY A TEP-FATHER

Judge Hughes objects to everything
a Democratic Congress has done in
the way Of legislation. He doesn't
take square issue with the principle
involved, but prates about inefficiency
and crudeness. The Child Labor law
is one of these. Judge Hughes finds
fault with the law as it was passed
by Democratic Congress, but claims
TO be not only a friend Of child labor
but the father of child labor legisla-
ton when he was Governor of New
York. Alas and alack, his claim of
fatherhood rests on no better founda-
ton than some of his other claims,
and he can only pose as a step-father
of that fair child at most. The legis-
latives records of Missouri, according
to chronicler of the St. Louis Re-
public, takes all the color out of the
Judges claim. 1t appears that State
Senator Tom Kinney of st. Louis is
the father of child labor Legislation.
In the General Assembly of Missouri
in 1907 he introduced and after hard
fight succeeded in having a law passed
to keep boys and girls of IA years
of age and under in large cities
from working at any employment.
Four years later he had the law
amended raising the age to 16 and
making it applicable all over the State.
1t was Mr.. Kinney's revised and
amended law that was afterwards
copied and passed by the New York
Legislature according to the chroni-
cler. ag

LAMM'S LOWEST

We quote from the Globe Demo
crat of Saturday:
Talking before the school chill
dren Of Tuscumba, Judge Lamm
declared, if elected, that hostile
hands shall never be laid upon
school childrens money. "They
propose to take 100000 Of your
money to start Gardeners land
bank"
We see two things worthy Of note
in this remark. IN the first place, it
is lie. In the second, it proves that
up to Friday, when il was made, there
were still unplumbed depths below
the political candidate With no re-
speat for Che public and less than none
for himself
Judge Lamm's campaign has al
ready brought forth strange things.
He has squarely rhisrepresented Of
fetal documents. lie has made state
ments about the single tax which a
freshman in any Missouri college
ought to blush for. What uncxhaast-
ed possibilities are yet concealed with
in him we do not pretend to say; it
would seem that at Tuscumbia he had
surpassed himself. To try to fright
en- school children for political profit
by DOGGY tales about a political OPP
ponent is something new under the
sun, and Judge Lamm has earned the
amazed contempt Of every decent man.

THE CHECKING SYSTEM

Editor Pennington Times:-
The recent observation of a not in
frequent occurrence on some of the
railroads Of this country occasions me
to seek little space in the columns
of your valuable paper for the pur-
pose of a few tiny depictions of the
somewhat pathetic incidents that now
break the monotony Of ride on the
cars, and which are apt to ocrur at
any moment and without the least
bit of forewarning refer to the ac-
tual workings of the great White
checking system, that is at present
being employed on some of the rail-
roads of this country to detect any
discrepancy that may occur between
the actual number of passengers
aboard the cars and the conductors
or auditors tally. The protection af-
forded the transportation companies
by the White Checking system comes
in the nature of insurance, a certain
stipulated amount or premium being
paid for such protection. or service.
This is an ingenious, "smart" plan
that was originated to detect those
who might be tempted to divert any
portion of the fares coming into their
hands. Woe be unto the employee thus
caught! Persons entrusted with the
collection of fares never know at what
station or stop Checker" may board
the train and require an accounting.
In this way much money may be saw
ed to the company or carrier, and an
.effectual barrier is established that
very successfully accomplishes the
end desired, although not without ex-
pense. 1t costs a considerable sum to
attain this protection, yet it is eff
ticent and pays.
The Mississippi River & Bonnie
Terre Ry. and the St. Francois Co.
r. r. Co. employ this service, which
makes the conductor "tremble in his
boots" and causes certain, almost
indescribable chilliness to Creep
through his spinal column, engender-
ed by the premonition that perchance
his receipts may, through some error
or mistake, not tally! 1t is generally
acknowledged that the maintenance
of the system is productive of greater
accuracy and creates a more exact .
ing attention on the part of those en-
trusted with the handling of monies.
In this connection it occurs to me
that if a system of checking the
"high collared" officials of the above
companies was inaugurated, espec-
tally among those who have the hand
ling of funds belonging to the stock
holders, there would be more exact

We have been disposed to entertain
good opinion of Judge Lamm as a
man of character, veracity and fair
ness, and it is painful to have to re-
consider and change that opinion,
That man of his reputed honor
would resort to bald misrepresenta-
ton and make assertions that shame
his recognized claim to legal learn
ing, as he has done in this campaign,
is hard to believe and reconcile to
ones idea of honor. His latest re-
lapse from virtue, a statement that
he is eredibly reported to have made
at Tuscumbia last week, while talk
ing to the school children, that the
Democrats purposed to take $1,000
900 from the children's State school
moneys to start the Gardner land
bank, is so fagrantly groundless that
one can only imagine it coming from
an irresponsible political ward heller.
The Judges candidacy seems to have
upset both his honor and his reason.
What pity that man who stood so
high should so debase himself--for
in his case the poor excuse of ignor-
ance cannot be applied.
