Howard Fish Story At the risk of
being attacked by President Roosevelt and

tell a true fish story. Solentlflo writers
have long contended that no specie of

refute the claim of the aclentlat. On
evening recently I was fishing In a little
lake near Columbus, with. Judge Reader
a my Instructor. We had anchored our
polea and were eating supper. Suddenly
there waa much agitation of the water
near one of the polea. I ran to the spot
and drew In the line. There was some
thing on 'he hook, and It fought Ilk a
four-pound bass. But It wasn't a baas.
It was a big black snake, about four feet
long. The snake had swallowed a four
Inch minnow, hook and all, and the hook
had fastened In his belly a foot betow his
head. That's all there la to this fish' story.
Snakea do eat fish, no matter what the
sciential may aay. At least this ne did,
and so certain am I of th fact that I
hall repeat the story en every occasion,
as long as Judge Reeder shall stand by

A Specimen of Moral Stupefaction.
OMAHA, Sept. 24. To the Editor of The
Bee: If the Information given by th news
papers about the matter is correct, the offi
cers of the juvenile court, or some of them
have entered upon a course of removal of
families from a certain section of the city
where the surroundings are such as to make
a very Immoral atmosphere and vitiate the
children of theae families. '
How, I call attention to the fact that, aU
though thla matter has been publicly men
tioned repeatedly. It seems not to have oc
curred to anyone that the sane, sensible,
legal and practicable thing to do Is to re
move the evil. Instead of driving people
away from it.
Think of It, a large number of children,
perhaps 800, subjected to that deadly moral
poison, and the matter publicly discussed.
and everybody accepting the Idea that the
only thing tb do Is to try to drive away
the people who have a right to atay there,
and let those who have no right to a habita
tion anywhere In the state of Nebraska con
trol the region, and remain.
No court has any more right to require
these families to move than I have to go
down there and drive them away with a
club, because there 1 abundant authority
for removing the evil.
What a sickly and disgusting notion, that
through illegal and unauthorised action of
the city officer the devil ha an indefeas
ible title to a certain part of the city and a
seat on the bench beside the Judge of the
Juvenile court.
Now, perhaps, some moral mossback will
read this, and set up a whine about "moral
spasms." A moral spasm Is the effort of
nature to cast out of the body politic the
poison that the mossbacks have put Into It.

SOUTH OMAHA.. Sept. 27.-To the Pres

City of South Omaha Gentlemen: I read
that the naming of the parks reoently pur
chased Is somewhat of a conunndrum to
your honorable body. As this Is an era of
commercialism, I firmly believe It Is your
duty to give the subject matter careful con
sideration lest any names should be chosen
but those of honest, honorable, patrlotio
Americans.
By way of Illustration, I read where the
nam of a Chicago public school, bearing
the name of Henry George, was changed to
that of Pullman. Where are we drifting
to? Is the patriotism of the fathers to he
forgotten T
At the solicitation of several patrlotio
citizens, I am requested to suggest to your
honorable body the naming of Syndicate
park after the father of the American
navy, Commodore John Barry. '

w- Paper.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Bept. 30. (Special.) Early
this week, probably Tuesday, th attorney
general will (lie the suit of the state of Iowa
against the Western Union Telegraph com
pany for violating the law of the state by
doing business In the atate without first
having filed with the secretary of state a
certified copy of It article of incorporation.
Thi suit, when started, will be one or ine
most Important and interesting the courts
have had for many years, because of the
fact that the amount involved Is so large.
The penalty Is tlOD a day. In the case of the
Western Unoh Telegraph company tp
total amount runs Into th vicinity ot
11,000,000.
Id Its statements to the executive council
the Western Union claims to be losing
money on Its Iowa business. Last year It
claims It took In W29.O0O, and Its expenses
were 420,OM. and the year befor It ex
pense were $374,000 and it receipt but
tsu,oco.
The Postal Telegraph company Is an Iowa
concern, with Its articles of Incorporation
filed here.
The policy that has been followed by some
former officials In relation to foreign cor
porations may not be followed by Attorney
General Byers In relation to the corporation
laws. Lawyers disagree as to the meaning
of the statute requiring foreign corporations
to file In this state and pay the filing fee,
or be subject to the penalties ot $100 a day.
Aa Interpreted by some, section 1637 of the
code exempts all corporations doing busi
ness in th stats before September 1, 1888.
One sentence In that section says:
Any corporation transacting business In
this state prior to th first day of Septem
ber, 18&6, shall be exempt from the payment
of the feea required under th provisions of
this section."
Some lawyers Interpret this as a sort of
Immunity bath for all corporations doing
business in the state at the time the law
waa. passed. They Interpret It that corpor
ations doing business befor that date not
only are exempt from paying the filing fee.
but are exempt from all the provisions of
the law; are exempt from filing certified
copies of their articles ot incorporation and
from paying any fine of 1100 a day If they
don't

the essential purpose of the law ws to have
on file Information concerning the corpora

state. That In case a cltlsen desired to
bring action agalnat such a corporation he
ought to have some source of authoritative
and official Information concerning the cor
porations, their officers and puxpoaes, and
that a cltlsen of the state has this right as
to corporations doing business in tho state

Holo la Child Labor Lav.
' In th report of Prof. Loo of the Iowa
child labor committee to the national com
mittee just Issued, It Is stated that th on
weakness in th Iowa child labor law 1
th Insufficiency of proof at to the age of
a child and it is understood that the next
legislature will be aaked to strengthen the
law In that respect. Th report states that
while the weakness was known before the
last legislature met. It was thought best to
ask for no changes at that time as the law
was new and It was thought best that It
have a thorough trial first
The question as to th age of a child
Is the on recognised difficulty In every
tat, according to those having Informa
tion on th subject It Is difficult for the
factory Inspector to tell whether the child
I telling th truth or not, and parents,
otherwise very truthful, think it no crime
t all to Instruct, their child to say that It
ta two or three yeara older thrfn it la.
When a factory Inspector enters a taetory
he I adsolutely certain to find that every
child there la over 1$ year old according
to the word of th child and that of Its
parents as well. Th factory owner fall
oack on the word of th child and th
word of It parenta, and otherwise truth
ful parents will not hesitate at times to
make sworn affidavits to false age aa to
their children. The .law becomes thus a
sort of Immunity bath for th factory
operator. He refers to the statement of
the child or Its parents and that relieves
him.
Factory Inspectors become trained to be

pretty good guessers on the age of chil
dren. They resort to the records on file
with the city clerks and often are able
to find the real age of the child In that
way. Practically all of the prosecutions
brought have to be based on some such
Information as that. In some states re
sort has been had to a provision of law
that (requires a certificate from the city
clerk or other official with whom the birth
statistics are filed. This would still bo an
Immunity for the factory operator, but It
would be quite likely to be accurate. With
a law requiring that every birth be filed
with the city or township clerk, and a
further law, requiring that before a child
can work In a factory there must be filed
a certificate from the clerk giving the. date
of Its birth the work of the factory in
spector would be much easier and it would
be possible to guard against children work
ing In violation of tho age provision.
