Steady Nerves! ‘There’s a Reason” inclusive, 13,000 children under the age of 14 years were killed and in jured while trespassing on railways in the United States. Education and legislation are necessary to stamp out the trespass evil, and education should begin with children in the schools.

COTTON MILLS I WORKING HOURS Nine Hours a Day Not Too Much, President of National Association Tells the Conven tion. Boston. —“I, for one. believe that 54 hours of work in the week (nine hours a days cannot possibly do any one an injury—even most boys and girls of 14 and 15 years of age,” said President E. F. Green, of the National Association oT Cotton Manufacturers, yesterday in opening the 96th annual convention. “Any further curtailment in hours must inevitably stand in the way of an increase of weekly wages. The present schedule of wages should be maintained, but if the government seeks to impose unjust and unfair bur dens, labor must bear its fair share of the load.” The prospects of the cotton indus try are embarrassed to some extent by the new tariff, but even more by sweeping proposals of labor legisla tion. he said.

Bismarck-the Greatest °t Germans” BISMARCK, like all Germans, prized Personal Liberty asthe breath oflife—a NATURAL RIGHT to be guarded and defended at any cost. Among our millions of law-abiding h German-American citizens there is not a man who does not consider it insolent tyranny "of the most odious kind for any legislation to issue this command “Thou shah NOTeat this—thou shah NOT drink that?”* Germans know that there is no evil in the light wines and beers of their fathers.

T want them to In vestigate Just as much as they please. Took One Affidavit. "There was only one thing done by myself in Chicago in connection witli this case and that was the taking of an affidavit from Aaron Allen, a ne gro steal pigeon, who was employed by the detectives to stay in the cell and pump Newt T.ce, the negro night watchman, while he was under arrest. The negro Alien made the affidavit freely and voluntarily. In fact, tie came to my office in Chicago. "The detectives are seeking by In nuendo to make people believe they have discovered a mare's nest in Chi cago For ttiat reason 1 turn on the light."
