WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Its Relation to Working Women and
Children.
(By Florence Kelley).
Never before in the history of the
human race have children and young
women formed, as they do today, an
important part of the working force
of great industrial communities whol
ly apart from their parents and the
family life.
In the telephone and telegraph serv
ice something like a revolution would
be caused if suddenly all the young
people under the age of twenty-one
were withdrawn. In retail trade the
cash children, bundle-girls, wrappers
and junior clerks are an extremely im
portant part of the whole working
force.
Every improvement in machinery
and in industrial organization tends to
summon to the ranks of industry an
increasing number of young recruits,
How long these young -workers shall
be employed in a day may be literally
a matter of life and death for them
Within my own acquaintance more
than one young girl has died of pneu
monia, rheumatism, tuberculosis, due
directly to overtime work with the ac-
ompanying exhaustion and loss of
power to resist disease.
Now the health, morals and intelli-

years of effort of the Consumers’
League of New York to obtain effect
ive enforcement of the Mercantile Em
ployees’ Law f . Agitation, petition,
white lists, have all been used. Yet the
law, passed in 189H, has not yet been
made effective. If the legislators who,
year after year, have failed to give
the state commissioner of labor power
to enforce this law, had been forced
to depend for their continued political
career upon the votes of women, this
enforcing bill could never have been
kept indefinitely hanging, which must
pass before the mercantile employees
can receive the same advantages
which were long since obtained for
factory workers.
In manufacture, older men form a
larger part of the total working force
than in retail trade. And the older
men are voters. Factory laws are ob
tained, therefore, with greater ease
than workable laws for safeguarding
the health and welfare of children and
young girls.
A sinister chapter to which too little
attention has hitherto been paid is the
failure of our legislatures and courts
to afford to young girls protection
from seduction, assault and enslave
ment in infamous houses. The diffi
culty involved in obtaining the convic
tion of malefactors is know’n only to
the few faithful souls who have at
tempted to obtain due punishment of
these grav? offenses. Mothers in any
community are more deeply stirred
by these offenses than by any others,
but judges and juries vary beyond be
lief in their treatment of criminals
guilty of crimes against girls.
In one Western state a woman
worked fourteen years to obtain the
enactment of a workable statute to
punish crimes against female minors.
At last such a law -was passed and
vigorously enforced. Fourt?en crimi
nals were sent to the penitentiary.
Then a young lawyer offered his serv
ice® to one of the criminals to free
him by showing that the law was un
constitutional, because the title should
have read “to define and punish crimes
against female minors;” whereas in
fact the two words ‘‘define and” were
missing from the title, the necessary
definition was contained in the body
of ths statute. Upon this frivolous
ground the supreme court of the state
held tha statute invalid, and nine of
the fourteen criminals were forthwith
freed. The remaining five were too
poor or too ignorant to obtain counsel
and remained in the penitentiary. The
patunt woman whose work was thus
frustrated continued the agitation
The legislature, after great effort on
her part, re-enacted the statute with
the title complete. But ths nine crim
inals could not again be tried for the
same offense, and remained at liberty.
It is hard to believe that such weary
e&fort would be needed if the mothers
and the teachers were a part of the
voting constituency upon whom judges
and legislators depend for their polit
ical careers.
It is the children of the poor w'ho
form the working contingent in retail
trade. It is the daughters of the poor
who chiefly fall victims to the basest
crimes. Poor, young, ignorant, unor
ganized, they depend for protection
upon laws framed and enforced by
persons, older than themselves. Is it
safe or sane to exclude from a full
share of power and responsibility the
mothers and teachers, the older wo
men whose firrft care is for the wel
fare of the ^oung?

"SIDNEY LANIER"
BY OUTE, WHITE
LectiJrc on Famous Southern
Poet at the Y. W. C. A.
Monday.
Mtfch interest is being taken in the
lecture which Dr. John E. White is
to deliver on Monday evening in the
Y. W. C. A. auditorium. Dr. White’s
subject will be “Sidney Lanier,” and
this lecture will prove unusually in
teresting, for one reason because
Lanier is ranked as .one of our fore
most southern poets.
During his service as a soldier in
the Confederate army Lanier was
captured and imprisoned by the Yan
kees. After being confined at Point
Lookout for five months he was re
leased, in February, 1865, and with
much suffering made his way on foot
to his home in Georgia. A severe
illness followed, and the seeds of pul
monary disease were developed, with
which he battled thenceforth to the
end. Having sore need for money, he
worked as a clerk in a hotel, taught
• country academy, then studied
and practiced law with his father;* All
this was against the bent of his de
sires. Two passions ruled his life,
music arid poetry. One of his most
famous poems was “Song of the Chat
tahoochee/’
The lecture by Dr. White will begin
promptly at 8:30 o’clock.

A CLERGYMAN’S STORY
Came Near Losing His Life-How He Escaped
The following
letter was re
ceived by The
Peruna Co., from
Rev. G. W. Rob
erts, R. R. 2, Box
27, Hartsell, Ala
bama, under date
of April 2. 1004,
which is exactly
nine years ago.
He says: “I take
pleasure in in
forming you of
what your Pe-
runa has done REV. G. W. ROBERTS,
for me after R.R. 2, Bob 27,
three years of MbtIbbU. Alt*
suffering. I had tried the treatments
of several doctors, also home rem
edies, but they failed and all hope
had gone, My friends, like myself,
thought I was in the last stages of
consumption.
“My daughter brought me a bottle
of Peruna and plead with me to try
It I had got so weak I had lost my
voice, and 1 thought it no use. That
was in May. 1902. I began to take
It according to directions. I wrote
to you, and you gave me your kind
advice.
“I soon felt better, my cough began
to give way, and the expectoration
lessened. I have taken fourteen bot
tles. I feel well, eat hearty, sleep
soundly, weigh as much as I ever did.
do considerable work on my farm,
and attend to my other business
My friends seem astonished at my re
covery.
“I wish to thank you for your kind
advice and the books you have tent
me. I shall ever praise your medicine
and hope that you may enjoy a long
life.”
It will be observed that Rev. Rob
erts waited two years after he began
to use Peruna, before he wrote the
above letter to The Peruna Co. So
that hi* apparent recovery could not
possibly have been temporary relief.
In a later letter to The Peruna Co,
dated September 22. 1900*. Rev. Rob
ert* says: “I am a great friend of
Peruna. By the use of Dr. Hartman's
advice I am here to-day. able to be
with my family and attend to my
busines* **
We quote from another letter, dated
December 10. 190$: “I praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case, and they praise it also.”
In a letter dated November 22,
1909. we quote Rev. Roberts: “Pe
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago.' All , my acquaintances
know that. I am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness.”
In a later letter, dated January 12,
1910, he says: “J shall ever in the
future, as in the past, be ready to
speak in praise ot peruna to all suf
ferers. I believe my miraculous cure
has been the nieana of many others
being cured in this county.”
From a letter of September S. llll.
we quote a few worde: “I am still
among* UieU\inff. As to Pejrona,/!
do not feel that I have words to ex
press the faith I have In its merits.
I feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
of God. of prolonging my life for
more than ten year*."
We quote a still later letter. October
21. 1912. He saya: “I took a severe
cold three weeks ago. I at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking It two
weeks. I am noW. better. I consider
that Peruna has carried me over a
dozen years or life. I always stand
ready to answer any question In ref
erence to Peruna”
We quote from hla last letter, dated
January 2, 1912: “Dear Friends: I
wish this bright New Tears to ex
press my thanka to you for your
kindness. Trusting that you may
have a successful and happy year, and
that your medicine nay prove a
blessing to many as It has to me, I
am yours as ever, O. W. Roberts.
Hartsell. Alabama, R. F. D. 2, Box

It la not necessary for us to add
any words to this atory. Tha elo
quence and pathea of these letters
are more convincing than arguments
