Police Take Part Against leu

New York. March 14.-Sympa-
thizers with the allies, under the lead
ership of Major George Haven Put
nam, undertook to hold a meeting in
Carnegie hall Monday night. Sympa-
thizers with Germany undertook to
ruffle the harmony. The result was a
mild imitation of Donnybrook fair.
The meeting was under the au-
spices of the American Rights COM
mittee, which is frankly in favor of
the United States joining the allies.
Major Putnam, who occupied the
chair, had just paid his compliments
to Senator O'Gorman and was begin
ming to speak of the 'impudence" of
former Secretary of War Bryan when
the trouble began.
At hearing Bryan's name, the mall
contents began to cheer. The bulk of
the audience Missed. In moment the
hall was in an uproar. A man
shouted:
Three cheers for Bryant"
Cat calls, booing and misses mingled
with cheers. At last Major Putnam
shouted: II call upon the guardians
of this city to protect us in this meet
ing"
No sooner had he spoken than po-
lice swooped down on two particular
ly troublesome men and elected them
from the building. Nineteen other
hecklers were violently elected before
order was restored.

DEATH OF COL. AVER
Military Man Well Known in Topeka
Dies at Honolulu.

Lieut.. Col. Waldo Emerson Aver,
Twenty first infantry, U. S. A, died in
the hospital at Honolulu, Hawaii,
Thursday, as a result of an operation.
Colonel Aver was on duty with the
Kansas Naturla Guard for three years,
and was relieved two years ago by
Capt. Walter c. Sweeney. His head
quarters were in Topeka while he was
connected with the militia, and he was
well known here. He was Sc years
old.
Colonel Aver was born in Massachu-
sets and graduated from a military
academy in 1884. He was then COM
missioned a second lieutenant with the
Twelfth infantry. During the Span
ish-American war he served in Florida
as aide-de-camp to Brigadier General
Kline. He also served during the
Filipino insurrection in 1899. He was
promoted captain of infantry in 1898,

CHILD LABOR IN FIELDS.

In the February issue of the Child
Labor Bulletin is an article on Child
Labor in the Sugar Beet Fields Of
Colorado" which is the first report on
series of Investigations of child Ia
Dor in agriculture which the national
child labor committee is now carrying
on. Child labor in agriculture has
not hitherto received public attention
because it has been generally assumed
that the child on the farm is in every
way more fortunate than the child
employed in manufacturing, mining,
and trade. and consequently has rela-
lively little or no need of protection
other than that afforded by his par
ents," says the report. But 1901
or 1 8 per cent of the children 10 to %
engaged in agricultural work are
farm laborers working out which
means they are working for persons
other than their parents. The posi-
bility of exploitation in this field is 50
great as to demand a thorough inves-
tigation. That many of the laborers
on the home farm also are required to
do fatiguing work through long peri
DDS of seasonal activity, and are at
the same time deprived of schooling,
is beyond question, as this monograph
reveals" The report estimates that
at least 5000 children between and
10 are employed yearly in the sugar
beet fields of Colorado, and that ac-
cording to estimates made by the su-
perintendents of schools, they lose
two or more school months as a re-
suit. That the loss of schooling seri-
ously affects the progress of the beet
workers in school is shown by the fact
that the average per cent of retarda-
ton among the workers is SO as
compared with an average of 20 for
the non-beet-workers. The work the
children do in pulling and topping"
the beets, as described in the article,
involves great physical strain when
continued for IL hours a day through
out the harvesting season. The report
states that compared with the total
number of persons engaged in beet
culture, the number of children under
IA employed is small and that there
for the industry would not suffer if
they were eliminated. The compulsory
education law is not enforced in the
beet sections and the report recon-
mends the reorganization of the school
system on county unit instead of
district basis to secure the enforce
ment of the law by removing it from
local influence and thus control the
employment of children in the beet
fields

Betty was puzzled at the question
ing look that passed between her
mother and her father before there
was any answer to her questions.
Because, Betty said her father
slow, there was a chance that Larry
also might go that way, and as Fred
took no chance because he thought

At that moment Betty's brother
Jack came busting into the hall and

LET'S GET BUSY.

Wherever Topeka or other good
roads boosters go in Kansas they find
almost everybody in favor of better
roads. Then why not get busy and
build them? That's the question and
an obvious one. But the nubbin of
the trouble undoubtedly is that KAN
sas and her communities are laboring
in a veritab1e labyrinth of chaotic
road laws that must be Strengthened
out, or superseded by one or a series
of modern and general road laws that
will permit the state and its local
divisions to go ahead with their road
Improvement in the systematic man
ner that alone will bring about the
desired results.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.

In the course of his current weekly
financial review, Henry Clews, the
New York banker, writes: THE Eu-
ropean conflict has revolutionized for
eign trade, and its effect upon Amer
lean commerce is becoming more and
more pronounced. Whatever happens,
the field for American enterprise
abroad is bound to enlarge. Not only
American products, but American cap
ital is sure to find larger foreign out
let. Neither England, France nor
Germany will be able to finance new
ventures in other parts of the world
with anything like former freedom.
South America, China, Russia, Central
Asia and other undeveloped countries
will all require capital in large sums
when peace returns, if not before. In
some cases their needs are already ur-
gent. This means a big demand for
funds for years to come, and the
United States for obvious reasons will
be the best able to respond. This also
means employment for American in
dustry. and will inevitably lead to a
much greater development of New
York as an international banking CEN
ter. New York is practically sure of
| reaching and holding second place in
| the worlds financial center, and in
some instances will push London hard
for premiership. The great nations of
Europe for many years to come must
labor under huge debts and impaired
resources; disasters which this coun-
try. thanks to its isolation and peace
policy, has fortunately escaped.
Domestic business conditions are sat
isfactory. Our railroads are still over
taxed with traffic, especially those
centering at New York Various
modes for relief for congestion have
been suggested, such as a diversion OF
traffic to other ports. a stronger en-
barge on certain articles of traffic, in
creased demurrage charges, higher
ighteraSe rates, etc. But insufficient
emphasis has been placed upon the
| fundamental fact that the roads are
now showing the effects of over-regu-
lation and the consequent discourage
ment to enterprise and capital out of
which alone the necessary facilities for
handling freight can be provided,
The labor situation is less
threatening. Differences in the soft
