THE MAKING OF A BOY. Said Superintendent E. R. Wharton of the Friendly Inn, Cleveland, O., to Louis Vosburg. aged seventeen years: "You can do anything in life that you really want to do." That was eighteen months ago. Vosburg was a butcher's boy, making $12 per month. He had his home in the notorious "Andes alley" and was utterly without ambition. This young man took absolutely no thought for the future. lie had enough to eat, a place to sleep and a chance to spend bis wages as fast as he drew the money. He had no envy of the young men who were pushing to the front He probably thought, if he thought at. all, that these young men had some sort of "pull" or "graft" of some kind. That

KNOW "WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE GOING? IT WAS NOT LONG AGO THAT THE TIMES in an editorial under the
caption Mothers'. What About Your Girls?" called their attention to the j fact that many Hammond young girls of tender age were making clandestine engagements with men in this city when their parents supposed their daughters to be elsewhere. Hammond may he taken merely an example, however of what goes on in Whiting. East Chicago, Gary and other cities of a heterogenous population. A case of revolting depravity has come to light in the city court of Hammond, which illustrates the dangers to which young girls are prone- The testimony elicited at the preliminary examination in the shocking case yesterday can only be faintly imagined. It could only be even touched upon in the columns of a newspaper. It is a public duty, however, to again warn parents of the indiscriminate danger that threaten their children when permitted to roam the street and visit places upon which the suspicion of the authorities rest. It is far better to block the gate before the horse gets out of the pasture. It is no necessary to point out that it is then too late. There are business houses in the Calumet region that will bear the closest scrutiny on the past of the police and the authorities. They have a bad name, some of them cater exclusively to the impressionable young. Clandestine meetings take place there. They are undeniably ' accessible to places where liquor may be bought and easily obtained. Young girls of tender years may be seen in them when they ought to be in their own homes. Quite often their parents suppose them to be at the homes of friends. Watch your daughters! Watch the companions they travel with: Know where they are and perhaps save them from disgrace and yourself from anguish. WHAT ABOUT THAT NEW BASCULE?

WHY THE DELAY IN BUILDING the new Ninety-second street bascule bridge is the question that is confronting the people of the Calumet region and especially South Chicago? Plans have been made for a modern bascule bridge 60 feet wide which will cost $285,000. It is understood that $150,000 of this amount has been appropriated for the expenditure in the year of 190S, yet nothing has been done. The present dilapidated structure called a bridge now spanning the Calumet river at Ninety-second street has long been condemned as unsafe. It is slow in operation and dangerous. Timo and again it has been struck by passing boats while bystanders vainly hoped that it would be demolished. Unfortunately, according to those who are working for a new bridge the injuries have been of such a nature that they could be repaired within a few days and the old bridge still continues to stand as a pioneer relic. It i3 an assured fact that some one is at fault. It would seem that with the available money in the city treasury, the local aldermen could see the beginning of the new structure. It was at first planned to put up a temporary structure but as the teaming companies and the street car lines could utilize the Ninety-fifth street bridge while the new one is being built it will not be necessary to do this. Not only will the new bridge be a help in transportation but it will also lessen the danger that hundreds of people are put to daily in crossing the bridge while on street cars. Another advantage will be the great aid to navigation in the river because the bascule bridge leaves a clear channel the
entire width of the river instead of the present cumbersome center pier im
pediment.

IS THIS WHAT THE LABOR WANTS?
By Robert Hunter in Chicago Socialist. THE XEW YORK WORLD the other day took a poll of the delegates of the Central Federated Union of New York City. One was brave enough to say he would vote for Taft. Eleven had sense
enough to say they would vote for Debs. Fifty-one were foolish enough to say they would vote for Bryan.
The record of the Republican party is sufficiently obnoxious to make it
impossible for a sincere labor leader to support that party.
To many workers the Democratic party has NO record. They have for
gotten Cleveland, and as Bryan runs and never wins, they live on the hope
that he might do something when he comes into power.
But if these Bryanites were wise men they would look into the record
of the Democratic party where it has been in power. They would examine
the labor record of Tammany Hall, of Jim Guffey, of Tom Taggart and of Roger Sullivan.
If after they had examined that record they choose to vote the Demo
cratic ticket it would be time for their unions to call in an alienist.
But perhaps they would consider these particular machines as Democracy at its worst. Well, then, let us take the South. There Democracy has ruled for nearly a century. The record of the Democrats there is long and clear and terrible. To keep its workers in slavery it came very near destroying this republic. To have the right to beat, club, and own other human beings; to have the right to take babies from their mothers and sell them at the block; to have the privilege of owning men as they owned cattle; this DEMOCRACY of the South brought on one of the most terrible civil wars the world has known. But this is an old story. Go into the South today look into their rule. You will find peonage, convict labor, thousands of men and boys working with chain and ball under the eye and MUSKET of prison guards. Go into the factories. Where will you find wages so low? Where hours so long? Where children so tiny? Go into the homes. And where Mill you find misery so hopeless? Yet here the Democrats rule. Had they wished it there might have
Ibeen facory legislation in the South. There might have been living wages.
There might have been an eight-hour day and sanitary homes.
They have ruled ABSOLUTELY AND ALONE. No rival party has had a chance to interfere with their rule. They have denied votes to "Niggers," and there are not enough Republicans in the South to make their opposition of any importance. Yet after the rule of nearly a hundred years THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN THE SOUTH HAS PRODUCED CONDITIONS RIVALING THE WORST IN THE WORLD. I have been in Russia, and I have been in the South, and in my opinion the condition of labor in the Southern states is no better than that of the Russian peasant. Yet for a party with this kind of labor record FIFTY-ONE trade union leaders have decided to vote. The workingmen of the North intend to make common cause with these aristicrats of the South. The rule of Tammany Hall and the other criminal Democratic organizations of the North is not enough for these labor leaders. They apparently want to go to the very depths. Well, labor is strong enough to get what it wants; and IF THAT IS WHAT LABOR WANTS well, that is what labor wants.
