Naturally th© factory owner* are op

very good retiaon why they are. The labor

crown I** rsons. Another argument In fa
vor of the employment of children 1m
that* ns a rule, parents want employ

aiilw them t give th# ir families more

put by wjmethmg fur litre of trouble and
old ore.
The aim of the pending hills \n not. of
course, to interfere with the labor of
children after they have passed their
twelfth year. It is to |>rotect children
who liv not reached that age
That there Is Justice tn the bills there

No doubt a law that would keep chil

The lynchmg of a n* gro in the heart of
the greit Northern city of Chicago wa*
prevented m Tuesday only by the armed
power of tho police for* e. The policemen
were compell*<d to use thdr clubs, anil It
was only after & fierce struggle with the
mob that the life of the negro brute was
saved. On tho aama day tha Chicago
Chron|c|*. on influential pawn paper and a
reflector of Illinois public opinion said
with reference to the Colorado lynching
and burning: “It may be ms well or bet
ter that the crimen should now and then
be punish*d without law than that they
should escape punishment through the
errors nnd ill-advised vnerclea of the law.
At any rate they ore thus punished. Pro
test U bile.*' It ts remarkable that when
ever a lynching occur* in the South the
Northern t.p©r* have nothing but roo
demnation of the whole Southern section
to say of the matter; but when lynching*
occur In the North they find excuses for
th-m. Meanwhile the reputable newspa
pers of the South continue to cry out
•gainst the evil of lynch low.
It wouki seem to be a pretty late day
for Secretary Hoot, or anybody else, to

are capable of self-control, nnd the pro

had financial difficulties to contend with

the securlllea of that road have again
become very valuable. Still it has not the

by Dr. Gilman for Its Improvement.

will still have the brnetlt of his advice

what he will do after leaving his present
position. As his means are ample he Is tn
a position to occupy his time In any way
