jealousy. He was sure that Chuck

Chuck had become interested in that

Having made certain that Polly was
not in the old house the stranger had
taken possession Of, Johnny went
looking elsewhere. He visited other
old houses he and Polly had used in
previous years, but he found no trace
of Polly. Finally he reached the old

feet women and minors were made
in IS towns outside of the Twin Cities.
BY far the majority of complaints
relate to long working hours of
women, and unpaid wages. Lacking
definite statutory jurisdiction in wage
matters outside of cases relating to
minors, the department is unable to
assist in many cases even though an
apparent injustice has occurred. Com
plants relating to child labor are be-
coming increasingly negligible al
though the rise of night clubs has re-
suited in the growth of new types Of
illegal employment at night of min
ors. Thus far in 1885 seven prosecu-

prosecutions related to violations of
the "a hour law for women and the

State Capitol News
BY A. l. HARRIS

The writer for the following skit
is deeply indebted to Messrs. Car
ley ct al:
Time: A. d. 1850.
Scene: Minnesota State Capitol.
A guide is leading a group of high
school students on visit through
the Capitol building. This has be-
come matter of common routine
with him, as the 1885 law-making
body of Minnesota passed measure
known as the Campbell bill. requiring
that all high school students visit the
Capitol as a pre- requisite to receiv-
ing their diplomas.
In the sub-basement of the Capitol
the guide halts his guests before an
unimposing room known as the Gov
ernor's Private Dining Room" now
having been set aside as a museum.
The plastering of the room showed
that it was done by skillful hands,
even though it was relief labor. In
the center was an oblong table, COW
cred by cheap linen tablecloth, five
cent salt and pepper shakers, and a
few pieces of cheap chinaware. An
examination of the table showed that
the top was of old pine wood, painted
over, with six pieces of gas pipes as
legs. To reconstruct the table new
it would have cost $500, but it's Sec
ond-hand value was $1.O5. The silver
wear on the table cost $500 per dozen,
but it was not new.
Ten chairs, which had seen between
Is and 20 years of usage, surrounded

the table, the kind that one can pur-
chase for $1.50 each in a secondhand
store. There was another small table
in the room, not used apparently for
dining purposes, value about $3.50.
A settee. neat but not expensive,
completed the furniture equipment.
"You see." the guide explained, ir-
ritated because the students paid lit
tie attention to him and wanted to
move on to something more attrac-
tive. these things are all important
because there was once a famous in
vestigatirn, known as the Carley in
vestigation, which condemned the ex-
travagant expenditures in fitting up
this private dining room. OF course,
anybody with common judgment
would know that the Governor and
other state officials should be able
to hold dinner conferences or enter
tain officials visiting here from other
states in privacy, and most other
states provide a Governor with a
mansion.
"A legislator once ate at this table.
and it was so rickety that he could
not cut his steak. All of these fur
nishings were in fact picked up
around the Capitol and did not cost
a cent. The Carley committee didn't
care for that fact. That big dining
table over there was formerly used
as wrapping table in the store room,
and the painter brushed it over bit.
ment from one of the legislative COM
mittee rooms. perhaps because it was
not fancy enough for the conserva-
tive legislators who used that room

heap and the painter washed it up
BIT"
By this time one Of the students
observed a frame hanging on the wall
containing some of the newspaper
clippings from the historic Carley in
vestigation. 1t reported the testimony
of one Alfred McGlone, a committee
witness who rehearsed before Messrs.
Carley and Mouer dream he had
the night before of having purchased
elaborate furnishings for the now
famous dining room, and repeated his
little piece at the regular committee
meeting.

The students looked about the &C.

about the rug. ALSO the other fur

he purchased.

and was made a museum. None of
these things were actually purchased,

when he took office in 1888 was heard
recently when the supreme court held

A Little Saving
Would Be a Big Help

To the Editor of The Times:
Let me, as a taxpayer, thank
you for your recent editorial in
Sisting that the tax rate here be
not increased.
1t seems to me that all our local
officials ever think about is spend.
ing money. There hasn't been any
constructive plan yet advanced for
cutting out some of the waste that
undoubtedly exists in the District
government.
Everybody who gets an idea that
he would like an improvement in
his section parades himself as a
civic leader to Congress, and that
piles up the bills.
Sooner or later the District gov
eminent will have to start curtail-
ing its expenses. The Federal Gov,
eminent doesn't give the help it
should and the people of the city
can't continue to meet all the
needs of the Federal city.
I hope you will continue the
good work and turn a little en-
phasis on the subject of saving the
taxpayers money.

STOCKHOLM d.Ns0. Will
Greta Carlo receive a Swedish
honor in recognition Of her work
as film artist and her propa-
ganda for her country?
This subject is discussed in an
article in the Vecko Journalen
which recalls that Jenny Lind, the
famous singer, and other Swedish
women internationally known for
their work on the stage, had re-
ceived Swedish decorations.
The writer repaints the scene
when King Oscar II himself hung
the medal LitteriS and Artibus
round Jenny Lind's neck. .
This honor is the personal gift
Of the king, who alone decides
whether the highest honor in
Swedish art circle shall be given.
It is pointed out that some
250,000.000 people have seen
Greta Carlo in her various films,
and in particular that Queen
Christina" whatever opinion one
may have for its artistic value,
constituted excellent propaganda
for Sweden and her days OF
greatness. .-r

VieWS of Negroes
In Ethiopian War

To the Editor Of The Times:
While reading your paper, I
noticed an article of two or three
days ago over which the headline
read as follows:
80. C. Negroes show Scant
interest in War"
The Negro population of the
D. C. is 132,500, and of this num-
Der, 1 would say. at least $4,000
are Christians and God-fearing
people. We, the Negroes of the
D. c., sympathize with Ethiopia,
but I do think that we would be
stepping beyond our bounds to
interfere with any country that
we have never seen.
From the beginning of civiliza'
ton until today God has answered
all true, earnest prayers. We feel
sure, according to the Scripture,
that Ethiopia will be victorious.
Christians are peace makers and
not war dogs, and one-fourth of
the Negroes of Washington, D. c.,
are Christians, this being the
reason D. c. Negroes show Scant
interest in war!
In conclusion, I must say that
what this country needs and all
others is more prayer and less
race hatred. When this comes
to pass, we will see that guns

LEAGUE SCORES
BIG IN
u. 5. PAY ROLL

Attacking the ushr o o m
growth Of the Federal bureau
cracy," the American Liberty
League has called upon the
Roosevelt administration to make
good its 1892 campaign pledges Of
economy in Government.
Pointing out the Federal pay roll,
according to Civil Service Commits
sion records, had increased some
336 million dollars a year since
February, 1893, the league showed
that Government personnel had
risen 148,625 to an all time peace
time record of 712,112 full time
workers at the end of May, 1885.
81 New Agencies
The leagues compilation re.
vealed the creation by the present
Administration of 81 new Federal
agencies with a personnel OF 1867
$50 employees while 50,428 were
added to the Staffs of the 10 execu.
tive departments. The perma-
nently established independent
agencies reduced their personnel
1892.
These figures, the league pointed
out, do not include 34,780 special
employees hired by the Department
of Agriculture, 1875 in the emer-
gency conservation work in addi-
ton to that organizations regular
staff, and the 1885, 06 enrolled in
the Civilian Conservation Corps,
all receiving pay checks from the
Government. The league de-
clared:
"If all these groups were
added, the total would be nearly
100000, a figure far in excess
of the wartime civilian total"
NEW AGENCIES DUE
Pointing out that the end is
not in sight, the league said:
"There will be additional new
agencies in future monthly
tabulatiOns. Only a few Of the
new work-relief agencies created
by executive order to supervise
the expenditure of the four
billion dollar fund are included
in the May report, and the
building of their organizations
had only commenced.
"The wOrk.relief agencies will
absorb considerable number
of the workers of the NRA be-
sides employing others. No
letup in the steady increase in
the total Government pay rolls
seems in prospect"

WHOLESALE INDEX
STAGES ADVANCE
Fertilizer Association Finds
Average at 1913 Against
1873 Week AGO.

Rejecting general rise in COM
modify prices. the weekly wholesale
commodity price index of the Ma
tional Fertilizer Association in the
week ended September 81 advanced
to 1913 per cent Of the 1926-1928
average from 1873 in the preceding
week.
The index for last week was at the
highest level reached this year and
also the highest since the final week
of 1880. The rise since the first Of
the year amounts to 81 per cent and
since the depression low point, the
week of March 4, 1888, to 421 per
cent. A month ago the index was
78.5 and year ago 1855.
The rise of prices last week was
general, with eight Of the component
groups of the index advancing and
only one declining. The largest rise
occurred in the grains, feeds and live
stock group, resulting from the up
trend in prices for grains, feedstuffs,
cattle and lambs. The only decline
registered in this group was slight
drop in hog prices.
Food prices again advanced during
the week to reach a new high point
for the recovery period. Eight COM
modities included in the foods group
moved upward during the week while
four declined.
The advance in the metals index
was due largely to the one-haf cent
advance in copper, although lead,
zinc and tin prices were also higher
during the week.
Higher quotations for cotton, wool,
