RICHMOND, IND.

: ' Senator Beveridge on CHild Labor. The audience which filled the Gennett theatre yesterday to hear Sen

ator Beveridge's address on the Young Men's Christian Association was given a treat, which was not supposed to be on the program, when the Senator announced his intention of introducing aTjill in the next

cucQinn nf rrn!rrp5si nhnlishinrr child have chosen a more appropriate nouncement, than in his address on

rive from a Y. M. C. A. His argument that young children should not

be dwarfed physically and mentally labor is absolutely irrefutable. Put tunate child in the coal mine region

many hours each day picking out slate back breaking work. Suppose you began doing this when you were but seven or eight years old, what

kind of an outlook on life would you have by the time you were fourteen or fifteen years old?

Life would in all probability present a pretty poor future to you. As

a young man you would have nothing to look forward to but the still

harder work of a miner imprisoned for hours underground. Having practically no education, in the modern interpretation of the word, except the experience gained in learning coal mining, you could hardly ex

pect to earn your living by any other pursuit. From earliest childhood you would simply know the bitterest side of life and not the broader

and sweeter side. It is to save young that Senator Beveridge will introduce

riers, doing an inter-state business, from transporting anything produced by child labor, inasmuch as it belongs to the states individually to pass laws prohibiting child labor. Mr. Beveridge warned everybody that

it would take two or more sessions of congress before such a measure would nass. as the creat corporate interests would put every obstacle

possible in the way. But in the end we believe with him, that a laW which is so just and which means so much toward (helping in the development of good citizens from their childhood up, is bound to pass, corporations or no corporations.

BETTER PROTECTION OF GAME LIKELY

Highly Probable That

low Up Legislation of Representative Yencer Which Failed

If the present outlook counts for anything, it is highly probable that Representative Yencer's bill, submitted to the last legislature, furthering a 'better protection for the wild game of the state, has had its effect upon the minds of several of this years legislators, and a game law will be passed by. the house this year that will be so stringent in Its meaning that the game of the state will have found a friend In the law makers. Owing to the fact that Rep. Yencers bill was submitted toward the close of last legislature, it did not receive the attention that it deserved, although, it probably paved the way for the early consideration of a like law, during the next session. In speaking of the game law and the demand for it, K. E. Earle, deputy state game, commissioner in a recent interview stated: "It is highly probable that the next general assembly, will be asked to enact some further legislation looking to better game conditions in the state. The present laws are good laws, but there are birds of prey that need looking after. They, are getting altogether too juimerous. "Among this species of birds the hawk is the chief offender.

I would advocate that each hunter take on his hunting trip a number of shells charged with extra heavy shot, so that when he encounters a hawk he can let him have a dose that will certainly do the business." The present game laws do not protect hawks, but fail to levy a bounty upon their heads so that their exter mination may be promoted. T believe that with a fifty cent bounty paid by the state for each hawk killed," said Mr. Earle, "hunters will be encouraged to kill them. Quite a large number of hawks were killed this year notwithstanding that there is no bounty. The average hunter is fully aware of the hawk's destructive nature and generally tries to kill any that he may see, but with all this the number of hawks in the state is not decreasing as it tshould." THE MOVING WORLD. About 35,000 tons of paper are annually turned eut at Skien, Norway. The laborers, a thousand in number, receive only 40 cents to $1.10 per day.

Large areas in the Klondike which It did not pay to work by older methods have been made productive through the use of dredges handling 3,000 or more cubic yards of dirt every twenty-four hours. About a dozen of these gold dredges are already In operation. Motor boats abroad are being put to Industrial uses. In Holland, Norway and Sweden they are used for various poods carrying purposes.

HO?

Formost Authority in Arts and

Crafts Movement to Speak at High School. !S ON A LECTURE TOUR. IN AN INTERVIEW MR. WHITING TELLS OF STEADY PROGRESS DIFFERENT SOCIETIES IN THE MOVEMENT HAVE MADE. . Frederick Whiting, secretary of the Boston Society of Arts and Crafts, and one of the foremost authorities in this country and possibly in the world on the Arts and Crafts movement, will be in Richmond today and at 3 o'clock this afternoon he will make an address in the high school hall on the work with which he is so intimately connected. The public is invited. There will be no admission fee. Mr. Whiting is on a lecturing tour of the middle west but he is putting in considerable time at Indianapolis assisting in the work preparatory to the opening of the John Herron art institute which takes place this week. Mr. Whiting represents the pioneer arts and crafts society of the United States. In an interview at Indianapolis Saturday, Mr. Whiting said of the organization: "The Boston society had its beginning about the same difficulties which beset arts and crafts societies of all cities. The people of a community have to be educated as to what such a society is trying to do. They must be taught that works of art can not be manufactured by a machine. Art is not a factory product. In the crafts it means that a craftsman puts art into his handiwork, something that a machine cannot do. But if a craftsman is to pursue his art and supply a community with his products, - he must have the patronage of the peo ple. Art workers in the crafts have to live, just the same as other people do. 'Many arts and crafts societies make the mistake of starting along the wrong lines. They get overam-; bitious and open salesrooms early in once bring financial success. But these salesrooms are simply business propositions, or should be treated as such. Before the Boston, society had the courage to open a salesroom it anteed the society an income of $2,000 a year for five years that the salesrooms might get on a substantial footing. Last year our salesrooms transacted business to the amount of $3X,000 and next year we expect our salesrooms to reach $45,000. As evidence of the work we are doing, we rented bench room to a silversmith who in time established a profitable business. We now have a half dozen silversmiths as tenants of bench room. Our salesroom is a sort of museum and our effort is directed to making it a place of interest to the public. We also have many lectures on subjects in which artistic crafts men are most interested. "I believe that the arts and crafts movement is making steady progress over the country. The societies are doing a splendid work in many cities. To a society that has met with reverses in the beginning would say that it should not be dis couraged, but should insure its future in a financial way before it under takes too much." THE ROYAL BOX. The queen of Portugal shoots straight and has received a German medal for saving life. t Queen Maud Jbt Norway has a book of newspaper cuttings labeled "Things We Have Never Said or Done." In this she pastes all sorts of fictions about herself, King Haakon and her friends. The shah of Persia finds relaxation from the affairs of state in the use of the knitting kneedle and is evidently proud of the accomplishment, for when he was in England he presented a pair of silk stockings of his own making to the Prince of Wales. King Edward is said to have given clever advice to his niece, Queen Victo ria of Spain, when she complained to him of the restrictions of the punctili ous etiquette of the court of Spain. "Be a sensible girl," the king advised her. "Do not make enemies; respect people's stupidities when necessary. In time, if you are wise, you will have everything your own way." PROGRESS AND LABOR.

Herr Schmidt, the

At the Elks fair, which will open tonight, one of the most interesting features will be the wonderful feats of strength of Herr Schmidt, the modern Sampson, undoubtedly the strongest man in the world. The above photograph shows him holding upon his shoulders the "cycle whirl" with a rider pedaling at great speed. Not only is the weight of the rider and the fence-like track very great, but the riding of a bike within the whirl makes the feat of Herr Schmidt all the more wonderful. The attraction will be absolutely free each night and will take place on an elevated stage. The Elks' have the Coliseum in. the pink of condition , for the epening night of the fair.

NUMBER OF BOOKS AND VALUABLE MAGAZINES AND PAPERS HAVE BEEN CONTRIBUTED TO THE SOCIETY. (By Prof. W. S. Dv The annual meeting of the Wayne County Historical Society was held Saturday at the court house in the room of the society and there was a fair attendance. In the absence of Prof. Cyxus Hodgin,"due to his prolonged illness, Frank Clark, was on motion of Joseph Ratliff, made chairman of the session. The minutes ' of the May meeting were read and approved. Owung to the failure of the Centennial celebration, there was no August meeting it having been planned to hold that session in connection with the centennial celebration. Joseph Ratliff, curator, reported that a number of books and newspapers had been contributed to the librarjr of the society since the last meeting' by Walter S. Ratliff. The society voted its thanks to the donor. The committee appointed at the May meeting to purchase cases for the preservation of the books and relics of the society, was directed by vote, to take action at the earliest possible moment. A. "G. Compton called attention to the fact that appropriations by the County council and commissioners must i be drawn upon before the close of the calendar year, December 1. It was ordered that the subscription for the Historical Review and the membership of the society in the American Historical Association be renewed. The secretary announced that Prof. Ault, of Cambridge City, of the committee appointed to mark the birthplace of Oliver P. Morton, had been making an investigation of the cost of a similar memorial at Greenville, O., marking the battlefield of General Anthony St. Clair. This being the annual meeting for the election of officers, Joseph Ratliff made a motion, which was seconded by Caleb King, tiat the election be postponed until the February meet ing when it is hoped to have a large number of the members present. The secretary conveyed the request of Prof. Hodgin to the society that he be relieved from the duties of the presidency of the society on account of the state of his health. The hope of his complete recovery was one of the reasons for postponing the election. It also was announced that the office of the treasurer was vacantMr. Reuben My rick, who for several years has very acceptably filled this office has removed to Spokane, Wash. The literary program of the day consisted of a splendid paper on "The History of Methodism in Richmond," by Mr. A. M. Hempleman. This will form a chapter in the forthcoming Centennial History of Richmond. The paper was discussed by Joseph C. Ratliff. Frank Clark, Caleb King, Mrs. i

Modern Sampson. en promptly at 7 o'clock this evening and as the admission will be "10 cents to everything," there is practically no limit to the size of the crowds that will respond to the call for the opening night. The Coliseum is radiant in its beauty. Purple and white, colors of the Elks are to be seen everywhere, while bunting and . flags of almost every size, from those a foot across to twenty-five feet are also used for decorative purposes. Electric lights have been used to a decided advantage. Two hundred members of the Elks lodge will be on duty there tonight to care for the visitors. There are to be no extra charges for anything. One admission pays for all and the exhibits themselves will be worth the visit to the Coliseum. C. Ratliff. All commended it in high terms. Edward Dalbey showed to the society the new Dalbey Centennial Souvenir of Richmond. The members expressed themselves as highly pleased. At the suggestion of Mr. Frank Clark an order was made on tlfe treasury for the purchase of one of the copies for use of the society.

BIfj Ben. The hour and the quarter weights of Big Ben, the clock in the English house of parliament, have to be wound twice a week, the operation taking about five hours in each case. The weight for the quarters is Just one and a half tons. The pendulum, thirteen and a half feet long, vibrates once in two seconds and weighs nearly 700 pounds. Brazilian Ants.
