HORRORS OF CHILD LABOR
BEVERIDGE CALLS LABOR FEDERATION'S ATTENTION TO IT.
Says Powerful Interests are Always Alert to Defeat Any Reformation of the Evil.
If there is one thing next to taTiff legislation that Senator Beverklge would like to reform, it is the conditions surrounding their employment and hours of labor of the working children oi this country. He is a valiant champion of the cause for betterment and has already done much to awaken forces to work for and arouse rnterest in these little white slaws. When addressing the delegates of the State Federation of J abor in convention at Soulh Bend the other day he brought this matter to -the attention of the labor representatives and asked their help in the work of reform. The South Bend S'ews commenting on his address, says4 The senator said nothing new in his speech to representatives of the labo; federation, bu: he laM new emphasis on his previous utterances and urged upon organised labor the importance of giving the riovement the help it needs. Senator Beveridge characterized the horrors cf child labor as too numerous to catalogue in an address as brief as thai which he delivered in South Bend but called the attention of his hearers to the sworn statements read by him in tin senate, which had the eeffct of silencing the denials that the evils existed. "Theese statements show conclusively that child labor is employed to an extent not dreamed of outside of the districts where it is found profitable to make money at the expense of the destruction of child life. In the coal
mines and cotton factories of the
country boys ad girls of tender
years are employed at labor
which requires them to leave
their beds at an early hour in the mornincr and work ten hours or
more under conditions that stunt
the metal and physical growth of
the children and undermie their
health. "They are also exposed to immoral influences through association with older people of questionable character and contract ideas that unfit them for becoming desirable citizens. All efforts to combat the evil are opposed by powerful influences, backed by the capital of conscienceless employers and others who profit by the work of these juvenile laborers. The states have thus far failed to successfully combat it and the intervention of the national government has not been secured. "As senator Beveridge has conceived, the evfl is one that threatens the future welfare of the nation and it is, therefore, a national question, which should be dealt with by Congress. Pleas that interference on the part of the national government would be in violation of the constitution are derV hv senator Beveridge and he declares that men who make the constitution a barricade to the moral progress of mankind prepare a day of wrath against the constitution itself."
TAX LIST TO
BE REVISED
AUTOS ARE NOT MENTIONED IN THE PERSONAL LIST.
State Board, by Making Terms More Specific, Will Equalize Tax Schedule.
READS LETTERS.
Monroe County Society Obtains Correspondence Written in 1833.
The state tax board will revise the personal property list to secure a better equaliztion of taxation, so it has been stated by John McCardle, a member of the board. The itemized list of personal property, which every taxpayer is required to fill out, contains 100 items, including everything from annuities, the number of steamboats owned to the number of dos. In spite of its apparent completeness, however, the state tax list does not include auomobiles, the tax board has discovered. There are a number of other items which are not definite enough, as, for example, the question is asked, "How many sheep, and value?" This will probably be changed to'How many rams?" "How many lambs?" etc. Instead of "How many cattle and value?" the questions asked will likely be, "How many bulls, heifers, steers, cows, calves?" etc. The board has realized for some time that the list did not permit a fair equalization of values, in that it permitted some to escape under a too broad classification a taxation which ought to obtain, and which it is believed will under a proper revision. The change will turn thousands of dollars into the state treasury. The board is fortified in its right to make the revision by an
opinon lrom Attorney General
Bngham. The attorney general states that the assessment laws of the state clearly give the tax board the right to revise the assessment list, which has remained as it is for many years. Uncle Sam Warns Us. Washington, D. C, Oct. o. Since ihr. passage of the food and drugs act of llMJti the attention of the departmcn of agriculture has been repeatedly directed to the
.general saleof harmful headache
mixtures. These complaints led the department to make a very
thorough investigation, with the
result that a warning to the pub-
he against the use of the head ache medicines on the market ha:
been issued. the investigation
was conducted along two lines.
The result of this investigation
brought out the information that
there are of record 814 cases of poisoning by these drugs, twen
ty-nine of which proved fatal.
ine departments warning
points out that acetanilid, antipy-
rin and phenacetin are very commonly used in the preparation of
mixtures intended for the relief
oi neadacne and otner minor
aches and pains. In urging persons not to use these drugs unless they are prescribed by a physician
the department says that the unfavorable results produced by
the drugs affect principally the
heart and circulation and through
them other parts of the body. The three drugs, according to the
warning, were after their discovery for a long time used txclu
sively for the reduction of fever,
but as time went on they were
employed less and less for this purpose, because of their weakening effects. They gradually came
to be used more and mo.e as a
remedy against pain. At present
they are extensively advertised
and sold to be used in this way
largely and in the form of patent
medicines.
The department says that the
public does not seem to realize
that these drugs are poisons m
the true sense of the word. So
the advice of a fatherly govern
ment is if you have a headache
consult a physician and do not go to the drug store and buy a head
ache iowder.
Letters written in 1833 by Prof Cornelius Perring of Indiana University to relatives in England were read at an open meeting of the 'Monroe County Historical society. In one of the letters Prof. Perring described President Wylie, then at the head of Indiana University, as one of the most eminent scholars in the United States, and the other professors as men of great talent. The salary of the president at that time was $1,000 a year and each of the professors received $800 annually. The students paid $15 per year tuition, and board was from $1.25 to $2 per week. The students came from Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The letters were loaned to the Historical Society by Alfred H. Perring a clerk in the Bloomington postoffice. Barber Heir to $50,000. A South Bend barber is sole heir to an estate valued at nearly $50,000. Information to that effect was received today from the administrator of the estate of his mother, who died last week in Xegaunee, Mich. The beneficiary is Chris Gauthier, who rs employed at the Pommert & Jay shop on South Michigan street. The estate includes mining stock, real estate and business blocks in northern Michigan. The will was made shortly before the death of Mrs. Pelege Gauthier and will be probated in three months. The barber will continue to follow his vocation in South Bend until after the instrument passes through its regular legal process. He may then decide to locate in Michigan.
H. H. Bonham Was Here.
Homer H. Bonham of Salt
Lake City, was called to Alb'on
two weeks ago by the illness of
his aged mother, she being some what improved he came to P!v-
mouth Friday evening expecting
to visit here a few days, but he received a telegram from Salt
Lake telling him to come home at once and he left on the early Sat
urday morning train. While the
telegram did not say so, Mr. Bon
ham feared that some member of
his family was seriously ill. He looks well and likes the Mormon city which he thinks has a grea: future. He regretted very much
tiiat he did not get to visit many
old f..i.:u's in Plymouth. Preacher in Net. After four months' work, Workman and Higgs, tax experts sprung a sensation at Lafayette when they reported to the county assessor tlvat Rev. Geo. W. Switzer, one of the leading Methodist clergymen of Indiana and until a few days ago, presiding elder of the Lafayette district of the Northwest Indiana M. E. conference, had for eight years failed to return for assessment or taxation $80,000 worth of stocks held by him and his wife.

DEFEAT WHITEWASHERS.
Old Time Methodist Ministers
Down the Bishop and Inner Council at Rockford.
Rockford, 111., Oct. 4. The "whitewashing" element of the Methodist ministry, led by the inner council, went down n crushing defeat today on the issue of ministerial misconduct. The vic
tory is an echo of the acceptance
of the resignation of Rev. John Ü. Leek, whose name had been assocated with that of Mrs. Mary A. Lavender.
The reformers, showing sudden
and unexpected strength, gave an open battle to the suppressionists
on the floor ot Rock River con
fcrence, and when the smoke of
combat cleared the cabinet slate
had been smashed to bits and
the conference had set the sea.1 of
its disapproval on the sledgeham
mer manner in winch several
ministers resting under iminrta
tion of . immoral conduct were permitted to withdraw from the ministry or the. church without a
conference hearing and with no
black mark against their names.
After forcing the withdrawal of
a cabinet resolution voting rnridence in Rev. Edward L. Craw
ford, pastor of the Woodlawn
Park church of Chicago, the re
formers voted through a resolu
tion which spells a reversal of conference policy in respect to accused ministers and renders it
next to impossible for a prcachr charged with unbecoming con
duct to be .smuggled out of the church without all the whys and
wherefores appearing in the rec
ords of the conference.
This, means that Methodist's
w"ill condemn unrighteousness of
Methodist preachers ab well as
that of saloonkeepers, gamblers,
and other sinners in the future
All honor to the men who refused
to obey the dictation of white washers.
