 The Wild Gazook could do this very easily for the Magician had changed the Wild Gazook into just what he was. and as you must know, Wild Ga- cooks have heads like Billy Goats and very large horns.

 She spoke as nnconcernedly as If she were preparing for Il .weck-rnd trip. instead Of an uncertain sojourn In South American country, while she e.ited for the slow process Of the law to give her legal guardian ship of her dead sisters children. and again I marvelled at the- iransforma tion which those orphaned childish figures .had made in my stately, self-centered sister-in-law. All the meticulous details Of her sheltered life appeared to have been scattered. She was as willing to rough it in this bizarre expedition as any romantic, adventurous bride might be in an- ticipating a wilderness honeymoon.
 "You won't have to leave many things" assured her as We opened the last package. Come here, children, and let me see how many more articles of clothing we can put on you and still leave you able to walk
 Mary Harrison and her brothers rushed across the room at the invita- tion, and the small Roderick's s eyes were no roundcr. his face no more filled with anticipation than were those of his older sister.

How John Brown Became an

how john Brown Became an
AbOlitionist.
IN the pagan ages and in the
more distant days Of savagery,
men were individuals. They had
no social imagination. -Thov cor'1
stand by and see another man
writhe in fortunes, and laugh at
him. Civilization has been devel-
oping social imagination; it has
been breeding more and more the
type Of human being who feels
the suffering and injustice of an
other as his own.
John Brown was perhaps born
with this strain IN him. In 1857,
when he had already plunged into
his life work, and was in the
thick Of bloody fights in Kansas,
he sat down to write a most
charming and tender letter to a
little boy who was the son of one
Of his friends in the east. Those
who think of fighters like John
Brown as possessed by only a lust
for battle, ought to read this let
ter. It reveals how soft was his
heart under the grim mask of
the Kansas warrior.
The letter is autobiographical
It tells how John Brown first be-
came acquainted with the horrors
Of slavery, and what effect it had
on his imagination.
The letter is so touching. and
so remarkable for the picture it
gives Of John Browns early
years, also for the picture of the
mans mature character as reveal
ed by. his own words, that am
tempted to give it in full. shall
give only parts Of it. however.

Der of kids on their cotton planta-
tons, the north and east furnish
many volumes Of records of brutali-
ties and exploitation of children.
Rhode Island and New Jersey en-
ploy thousands of children in truck
gardens and mills; in Michigan there
are children FIVE, six and seven who
work ten and twelve hours day in
the beet fields. The coal mines of
Pennsylvania and highly cultured
Massachusetts, manufacturers find it
very profitable to work the little tots
and deny them even the most ele-
mentary schooling.
Hair-Raising Reports.
In a large number of states the
law permits this, which is the same
as encouraging and sanctioning it.
Where there exists some sort of pro-

Where does the remedy lie? To
the organized and unorganized wrath
of the working-class is left open the
opportunity for emphatic protest.

This Is the Story of John Brown

for convenience and shortness Of
name, I will call him John.
"This story VIII be mainly a
narration Of follies and errors,
which ! hope you may avoid; but
there is one thing connected with
it, which will be calculated to en-
courage any young person to per-
severing effort, and that is the
degree of success in accomplish
ing his objects which to a great
extent marked the course of this
boy thruout my entire acquaint-
ance with him; Notwithstanding
his moderate capacity, and still
more moderate requirements.
"John was born May 9, 1900,
at Torrington, Connecticut; of
poor and hard-working parents; a
descendant on the side Of his faith
er Of one Of the company of the
Mayfiower who landed At Plv-
mouth, 1920. His mothers father
came at an early period to New
England from Amsterdam, in Hol-
land. Both his fathers and his
mothers father served in the war
Of the revolution his fathers father
died in a barn at New York
while in the service, in 1776.
II cannot tell you of ANYTHING
in the first four wears Of Johns
life worth mentioning save at an
early age he was temn+ed by
three LARGE brass pins BELONGING to
a girl who lived in the family; and
stole tn m. In this he was de-
tected by his mother: and after
having n full day to think of the
wrong. received from her a thoro
whipping. .
"When he was five years old
his father moved to Ohio, then a
wilderness filled with wild beasts
and Indians. During the long
journey which was performed in
part or mostly with an ox-team,
he was called on by turns to assist
a boy five years older, and learn
ed to think he could accomplish
smart things in driving the cows
and riding the horses. Sometimes
he met with rattlesnakes which
were very large, and which some
of the company generally manag-
ed to kill.
"After getting to Ohio he was
for some time rather afraid of the
Indians, and of their rifles; but
this soon wore off, and he used to
hang about then, quite as much as
was consistent with good manners,
md learned a trifie of their talk.

1RS CAN DESTROY CHILD LABOR

cannot overlook it? For the reason
that in a country that boasts Of IT'S
high attainments there are over g.
100000 children between the ages
Of to Is who work to create pro-
fit for some boss; and some of the
children work as high as twelve
hours day.
Child labor in the United States is
older than the Declaration of indie
pendence. Since 1890, when 16 per
cent Of adj the children between 10
and Is years Of age were employed,
there has been a steady rise up to
the present day with over 10 per
cent of all these children employed.
The rise seems to be changing into
food when we discover that in one
year there has been a 38 per cent
increase in legalized exploitation of
the youth; that means, that even If
all the laws now proposed in con-
gress had been passed and put into
effect this rise of 38 per cent could
not have been stopped.
There is an idea that child labor is
restricted to the south. While it is
true that our blue-blooded southern
gentlemen employ the largest num-
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-03-22

EVERY soft-hearted charity work
- er has written something about
child labor. A good many of the So
cialists, who later became bowling
war patriots, as for instance, John
Spargo, have written books showing
up the evils Of child labor. And what
have we as a result today?
Everything is being left to the u.
s governmental machinery which.
has funked twice already. All the
agitation, all the talk is directed to a
couple Of hundred graft-besmired
congressman and senator's, many Of
whom are employers Of children
themselves.
Instead Of carrying the issue to
the outraged American working class
which, thru its organizations could
do some real anti-chiId labor work,
Sammy Gompers and his crew of
social workers are blind-folding the
eyes Of the toiling masses and point
ing to the oil-soaked government as
a Iife-saving depot.
