WOULD PUT SHANK OUT OF POLITICS However, Efforts Failed .By Senator Gavit's Amend-

(National New Association) INDIANAPOLIS, March 7. After the senators had voted against night sessions, Lieut-OoT. O'Neill kept the senate in session until, seven o'clock Thursday evening. A motion also carried that no further divided reports on bills be received. This means that over 100 bills are killed by one blow. Efforts to eliminate Mayor Shank and Judge Collins of Indianapolis, from politics by declaring them in eligible failed Thursday afternoon, when Senator Gavit's measure provid ing that city officials shall not be eligible to re-election, was amended so as to exclude first-class cities. The debate developed the purpose of the amendment, but it appeared to be aimed mainly at Mayor Shank. Senator White's bill to provide that court stenographers should be paid a minimum of $1200 per year, failed of passage for the lack of a constitutional majority. During the debate Senator Jackson of Ripley county, strenuously objected to "another invasion on the treasury.' Under suspension of the rules Sena tor Gavlt rescued more than 100 Gary saloonkeepers, whose licenses had been invalidated owing to a legal technicality. Gavit's bill, on reconsidera tion was passed and puts these saloons In good standing. Other bills that stood the test in the senate were: (By Jenkins) Providing that trust companies may issue certificates against large mortgages for the purpose of re-lending parts of larbe amounts. (By Ratts) To cut out legal technicalities that cause delay by making partlclpal pleadings sufficient in proceedure unless a motion is filed asking further speciacation of facts. (By Senator) Providing against the incarceration in jails of persons during Insanity inquiry. (By Ensle) Notice shall be given of Intention to adopt a child. (By Carroll) Amending highway law to make it unlawful to issue highway bonds In excess of two per cent of the total assessed valuation of townhip. (By VanNuys) Giving Indiana public service commission power to hear appeals from city and town ordinances relative to speed of trains in city limits. v Gov. Ralston Thursday vetoed the public drinking cup bill introduced by Senator White. His Excellency was in sympathy with the sanitary object of the bill, but thought the public com fort ana convenience snoula not be ignored. Lieut-Governor O'Neill handed down the Weidler garnishee bill on first reading. It went to committee, but i slated for passage and signature of governor in rapid transit time.

INTERESTING FACTS

Presented By Mr. Albert Flesh, of the Richmond Underwear Factory, Concerning the Operations of the Employers of Women Labor in This City.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The nine hour bill for women was killed by the legislature. And more or less justly. For it was a mere sop thrown to the public after the dominating party found they had made a false move by summary disposition of the eight hour measure introduced by Keegan. The intent of he eight hour law was good. But its details crude as animadverted upon at the time it was first referred to in this column. The awakening of the public conscience to the necessity of more humane adjustment of labor conditions is evidenced by these efforts to legislate in the latter's behalf. It is a process of evolution. And can never be accomplished through revolutionary methods. The trouble is that too little knowledge and intelligence are devoted to the exploitation of matters of this sort and too much exaggeration and demagogy. It's a case of either seeing white or red. The intermediate shades are entirely put out of commission. And It is in this intermediate zone that the Question must be settled. There is no doubt, since It is borne out by statistics, that employers of women labor abuse their prerogatives. Only where women are protected by unions do they receive proper consideration from their employers. It is not alone the girls in factories who are imposed upon but women in the businesses and professions. In fact you will find many factory girls better paid than women empinvfg in the offices of these same factories. $ And the big department stores are notorious in their disregard of the humanities in the payment of wages to their women employees. The vice commission of Chicago, or rather, the particular section of the vice commission operating through the legislature of Illinois, is bringing the

But although we constantFactory owners in this state, how- ly advertise we do not find it possible ever, are disposed to be fair in their to get all we should like to have and

treatment of their employees. At least so says Mr. Alfred L. Flesh, proprietor of the Richmond Underwear Factory, whose new, modern and sanitary building on North Tenth street, is one of the industrial institutions of this city which is architecturally effective and of civic importance. "I went over to Indianapolis to help kill the nine hour law," said Mr. Flesh to the writer. "I did this not because I am not in ; favor of all beneficial labor legislation but because this measure was hastily drawn and industrial conditions in this state not investigated. "The effect of ill-considered legisla - tion of this kind is rarely what its sponsors intend or expect, for its operations in the end, defeat its purpose. "The modern industrial world Is -a complicated piece of mechanism. You can't pull out a bolt here and cut a piece out there without stopping the works entirely or, at least, hindering their proper manipulation. "If you slash right and left without any regard to results merely to cut and make the blood flow you get nowhere. "To put a eight or nine hour law into immediate operation without any regard whatever to the impetus behind business is to throw a community or state into industrial disorder and chaos. "The majority of factory owners in Indiana are not industrial magnates and have to look closely to the details to make ends meet. Naturally people do not do business unless they can do so at some modicum of profit. "Laborers do not do this. They sell their labor as we do our goods to the best advantage. j "With all 'other employers of labor I am glad and willing to further all measures for the benefit of society at , large. But legislation must take existing conditions into consideration. "If there were a national eight hour law, in instance, covering every form of Industry and business in which nat-. j ional competition alone were concern- j i ed, that would give business men a fair chance. If there were uniform I legislation in all the states governing ' domestic competition there would be ; no question. Every employer would welcome the opportunity to shorten hours of labor. "This I would not favor, however, if it did not cover foreign competition as well Bince the nation at large would suffer unless the Industries of this country were, in such an event, protected from the depredations of the foreign manufacturer. "The solution, so far as the states is concerned, it seems to me, lies in the appointment of an industrial commission, made up, not of politicians or those needing and seeking office, but of trained experts who would Investigate conditions, prepare statistics and get at the heart of the whole thing. "In this way Industrial inequalities could be adjusted without throwing the business world into disorder and the dishonest and unscrupulous employer would be brought to the ' bar and either made to conform to human conditions or get out of business. "Such a commission is under consideration by the Ohio legislature, now rin session, and a similar commission was suggested to Indiana legislators by the manufacturers who were in Indianapolis to look after their interests in the passage of the proposed nine hour law. "We "came to this city," said Mr. Flesh in reply to a question as to

local conditions, "because we were told that there were manv eirls here

who desired to get employment in fac - tories. "We have been unable to get as many as we need. "This is not because we do not pay good wages," said Mr. Flesh. "For I think I may say that we are as fair in ! this particular as any factory owners ' who have ever operated in your city. "Yes, our hours are ten we begin ' at six forty In the morning and work until five forty, with an hour for lunch, "We have a Saturday half -holiday all the year round and our average j working hour weekly is fifty-five hours, s But this is greatly reduced in individual cases since girls who, for any reason, do not feel physically able to report will sometimes take a day off and this makes the average much less than flfty-ive. "W pay on the basis of piece work entirely. Thirteen dollars weekly is the maximum amount we have so far paid in this city for a girl's individual labor, and five dollars the least. "That Is, on piece work. There is a form of labor performed which does not come under the had ; of piece work and which is done by women unable to work at anything else and for this we pay four and four dollars and a half weekly. "But on our regular piece work we i pay nothing less than nve dollars. And this five dollars is paid, frequently, at our loss, until an employee becomes skilful enough to earn it, and, later on, more. "We do not understand why we canneed." , "We are trying to do everything we can for the comfort and convenience of our employees we have a lunch room where we serve hot coffee without extra charge, and we intend to have music at the noon hour so that the girls can dance among themselves If they so desire. "But to adjust these economic inequalities we must have commissions to investigate thoroughly and forniuneed." In reply to a question as to what he thought of the proposed Guest House, as a home for working girls, Mr. Flesh said: "I think this is a Rood thing. But I think the Association has started out with too large a fund in view. A building that would meet all the requirements of a town this size could be erected for less than the hundred thousand dollars the Association has !ann0unced as the amount it wants, .j wouid giad to do all I could toward the consummation of this proposition as I think a building of : tnig character is needed in this city, ..But j should recommend the ladies to investigate and find out just how I much a building that would meet con1 ditions in Richmond would cost. "The per cent of young women who would take advantage of such an institution in our employ is not large about thirty, I should say. "The absurdity of these hasty legislative measures is seen," added Mr. Flesh, "in the fact that Mr. Keegan prepared his eight hour bill in a few hours and a similar bill, proposed in New York, was the result of months of study and investigation on the part of authorities and experts. "We should use some intelligence and common sense in these matters," said Mr. Flesh, "and remember that social activities are so inter-related that we cannot work with one part without affecting the whole."

They Are All Wards of the State and Carefully Protected. There are no orphans in Australia. That Is not because parents never die there, but because when they do the 6tate at once steps in to the rescue of their little ones. Children who have been robbed by death of their natural protectors are practically adopted by the government. Unless some near relative manifests a desire to assume the responsibility and can demonstrate his ability to do so the child is committed to the children's council, which selects some home among the farmers of the country. These foster homes are examined closely, and often two or three " tried before one Is found in which the child finds congenial surroundings. After thirteen the state feels that its ward should earn more than board and lodging. At that age, therefore, he is hired out, usually, however, to the footer parents who have been previously taking care of him. Three-fourths of his wages are deposited iu savings banks; the remainder is his. When he becomes of age or if he wishes money in order to learn a trade or to attend a more advanced school or, in the case of a girl, when she wishes to marry the savings are turned over to I the ward. New York World. FATE OF THE GRIZZLY. The Tenderfoot Wae Anxious to. Get the Full Particulars. An Idaho guide whose services were retained by some wealthy young east erners desirous of hunting in the north-j west evidently took them to be th greenest of tenderfoots, since he un dertook to chaff them with a recital something as follows: "It was my first grizzly, so 1 was mighty proud to kill him in a hand to hand- straggle. We started to fight about sunrise. When he finally gave up the ghost the sun was going down." At this point the guide paused to note the effect of his story. Not a word was said by the easterners, so the guide added very slowly, "for the second time." I gather, then," aaid one young gentleman, a dapper little Bostonian. "that It required a period of two days to enable you to dispose of that grizzly." "Two days and a night." said th guide, with a grin. That grizzly died mighty hard." "Choked to death?" asked the Bostonian. "Yes, air," said the guide.

The remdy suggested Is more pay. and employ ment of better men, for guards and wardens. The experience gained from aiding over nine thousand men during the last twelve years has shown that the country at large is cutting off its one means of making good citiiens of prisoners by trying "to reform the wrong man." The view is also expressed by Ward en James D. Keid.of the Indiana pen titentiary at Michigan City, and others in charge of prisons. Warden Reid has written to the Central Howard Association's headquarters in Chicago: "It has been found that reformation of the guards is one of the prerequisites of good results, quite as it has been found necessary to reform the prison conditions. The lock-step, the prison stripes, the shaved head, the ball and chain, the bread and water diet, all these and their like happily are passing away but there are some things left which ought to ! 8 " In a report made by Superintendent l F. Emory Lyon of the Central Howard Association in which he commented upon the fact that the aid of prisoners had enabled them to earn and save to society a sum 89 times as great as the work had cost, he declared: "Only when the wardens of our great penal institutions are men chosen, not because of political pull, but because they are noble enough and generous . enough to be their brother's keeper, j will the ex-convict return to society j not as a menace to it but as a member of it. Wherever men have been restored to themselves the strongest factor in reclaiming them has been, not the laws made by competent jurists, but by the personal influence of the wardens themselves.

Two Generations Now Using It

Nation's Most Popular Laxative Keeping Millions of American Families in Good Health There must be genuine merit to an article that has stood the test of two ! generations of users. In the field of medicine none has had greater success, nor retained that success to a greater degree, than Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is now being used by two generations of people. Its use in families is constantly becoming more general. The reason, primarily, is that it has merit. It is what It represents itself to be, a laxative-tonic; it does not make exaggerated claims nor use coarse language to set forth its virtues. It is a medicine, but so mild and gentle a medicine that thousands of mothers give it to tiny infants, and yet, in a slightly larger dose, it is equally effective for grown-ups. It is for any disorder of the stomach, liver or bowels, for constipation no matter how chronic, for dyspepsia no matter how 8vere. for biliousness, sour stomach, gas on the stomach, headaches, drowsiness after eating, and similar complaints arising from a clogged-up Day You've Been Waiting For the
