The South Carolina Legislature has
raised from II to IA years the legal age
limit at which children may be employed
in textile plants, factories and mines,
effective Jan. /, 1917. This is very
important change for South Carolina be-
cause of the large number OF textil'
plants in that state. Let us hope that
before many years the age limit in South
Carolina will be raised to where It right
fully belongs.

Two Irishmen went to confession. The
confessional was an old one, where a
penitent went each side of the priest.
Pat began first, but in the middle the
priest was called away on an urgent sick

no response, Pat waited a minute or two.

There have been nine official estimates
as to the actual cost of the mauufac-
ture of ton of armor plate. The aver
age estimate is S247.l7 per ton. Yet
since 1887 we have purchased 2l7,379
tons of armor, paying the armor ring
an average of $440.04 per ton, or total
of $95,656, ,240. If all this armor had
been manufactured in government
plant, it is estimated at least $35, 5,00O,0 900
would have been saved to the American
taxpayers, and armor is only one OF the
things being purchased by the army and

Save the Republican party in Denver
for the fall election, it was completely
dissipated when the Times published
list of those who signed by order of the
Iron Duke" giving the crimes, penal
ties and present place of abode. Some
of those who signed the petition have
since taken up permanent abode in the
state penitentiary at Canon City. This
is one of the best object lessons yet pre-
sented as to why change of city gov
ernment and city officials is being de-
manded by the people of Denver.
Grasshopper hill seems destined to at
last serve useful purpose, by the grace
of the United States Congress. The
House Public Lands Committee has fav-
orably reported bill authorizing sale of
property occupied by the East Denver
High School. now almost in the business
heart of the city. This plot of land was
donated TO the city for public school
school purposes by the government thru
an act of Congress. February 20, 1873.
Under terms of the grant il was stiPu-
lated that II the land ceased to be used
for school purposes il should revert TO
the government. However, states and
municipalities do not make pructice Of
giving valuable possessions back to I'M
Gle Samuel. The block occupied by the
school is adjacent to the new Postoffiee
building and is worth a whole lot OF
money. Its sale will provide sufficient
funds to purchase GrasshopPer hill, pro
posed site OF the new East Denver High
School. embracing six city blocks, and
erection of a modern high and grammar
school building, with gymnasium and
athletic field. Since the days Of '5n,
when Denver first became n spot on the
map, Grasshopper hill has been the fav'
orite rendezvous of these foes of the
farmer before making raid on the lands
of eastern Colorado and western Kan
sas. Therefore, its transformation into
a school ground and seat of learning,
with thousands of children meeting there
in daily concourse, will drive out the
pests and prove a blessing of several
varieties.
