of the Department of Labor's re-
port published yesterday.
A survey reveals the fact that
young children were found to be
engaged as regular workers in SO
different occupations in many OF
/ the larger cities and towns of New
Jersey. Some Of these occupations
were beading of powder puffs and
artificial flowers, scalloping hand
kerchiefs, carding buttons and
safety pins and other similar jobs.

Two years ago, in 1926, with his eyes on
the presidency and his friends making the most
strenuous efforts to roll up big vote, Al
Smith carried only four outer counties ana

ness man has in common with Tammany?"

is MINNESOTA AND TAMMANY HALL
IN ACCORD?

The Herald wonders if the voters of the United
States are in a mood to turn the National govern
ment over to Tammany noted since it's inception
for its graft and machine politics.
Much has been said about the popularity of
Governor AL Smith, of New York
The Herald isn't going to make personal at
tack upon the Governor of the Empire state. The
writer had the privilege of hearing him deliver an
address several years ago. He has loveable per-
sonality; he impresses his auditors with his sincerity
He has done good job governing New York.
But-he is child of Tammany. Not because
Tammany wanted him, but because of his unusual
personality. He rose from the sidewalks of New
York. Tammany is not slow to recognize ability.
He served as Tammany representative of the New
York legislature. In the course of thine he ele-
waited to the Governorship.
Much has been said about the popularity of
Gov Smith in his home state.
What do the folks of the rural districts think of
New York him? This can best be told by Tom
Parker Judkin, formerly the publisher of rural
weekly of Minnesota, now with the Mercer, Pa,
Dispatch. Tom has always been of an inquring
turn of mind. He investigated the alleged strength
of Mr.. Smith. This investigation disclosed that the
Governor had carried the rural counties in
New York state. His counties aren the grip of
Tammany Hall. Mr. Judkin's deductions will be of
interest:
Are ready for Tammany rule of our
country? That's just what it would mean if he
elected president.
There 81 counties in New York state
outside of the five counties comprising New
York city.
In 1913, when Smith was first a candidate
for governor, he carried only two counties out
side of the big city and upstate gave a majority
of 221, 900 against him.
In 1920 he was defeated for reelection
and did not carry single county outside of
New York city, and upstate gave majority
of $4,000 against him.
In 1922 he received the largest vote ever
given him, carrying 10 upstate counties, but
still with 10000 upstate majority against
him.

Younger was his opponent, AL Smith carried

On the paved routes the sections

roads, and he will be furnished a

Changing the name from patrol

Changing from teams to motor

reduce the number employed. It

WHY SHOULDN'T OFFICEHOLDERS HELP
DEFRAY CAMPAIGN EXPENSES?

In the purity campaign which the Democratic
party are conducting it has been alleged, and with
some show of proving their contentious, that dur
ing the past eight years the postmasters Of the
United States have been assessed for political pur-
poses.
Shocking, isn't it?
From what the Herald editor knows of politics
we are prepared to believe the allegations true
Our mind goes back to the days when our dear
beloved newspaper friend, the late John A. john
son, was Governor, of this great state. John was
Democrat.
Much was said in those days about his famous
Kitchen cabinet" which comprised the holer than
thou Frank A. Day, John King, Harvey Grimmer,
all newspaper men, and some lesser satellites It
was quite commonly alleged in those "good old
days. that the office holders and their stenograph-
ers, contributed quite regularly, and even literally,
to maintain the Kitchen cabinet
A far as postmasters are concerned the Herald
editor is quite satisfied that they have always
trbuted for the good of the party" This is not at
tack upon the postmaster of Sank Centre, but we
take it for granted that he has or will contribute
the campaign.
And, matter of fact, why shouldn't he?
He holds his lob by virtue of the fact that the
Republican parry is in power. If they continue in
power he will very likely continue to hold his job.
That being the case, why shouldn't he contribute to
the campaign expenses?
The Herald editor has held political jobs We
contributed to the campaign expense. We expected
to.
When guy who had political job past
or present, tells you that he has never contributed
a cent for campaign expenses he is either in
CRATE or does not expect to be retained after
administration into office, or ordinary
liar.
Statements of this sort may, perhaps, shock the
Purists, but it takes money to conduct campaign
and the Herald editor has always been of the opin-
ion that the individual benefited should bear his
share of the expense whether in business politics.

Highway Workers Are
No Longer Patrolmen
Maintenance Men Will Be "Section
Men"-Confusion in Names
to End

Hereafter strangers coming to
Minnesota will not ask highway
maintenance men to aid in law
enforcement, nor will traffic pa
trolmen, where such exist, be
asked to make road repairs. The
confusion which has arisen due to
calling the maintenance men "pa-
trolmen" will soon end, according
to a bulletin fronl the State High
way department II e maint -

after will mean the deputy sh ariffs
where such are employed by the
counties, or any other traffic pa
troll which may be created by fl
tire legislatures.
When the trunk highway system
was created, traffic patrolmen were
almost unknown and calling main
tenance men patrolmen caused no
confusion. Since then number
of states have established state
traffic patrols, and to people from
such states the Minnesota custom
was confusing. Minnesota so far
has no state traffic patrol but many
counties have highway patrolmen
and these were confused with the
maintenance men until the LATER
