' ARMY OF JUVENILE - - TOILERS. , Chicago Newspaper Points Out Evil In Economic Conditions. An economic condition that compels n singh : ! child to toll for Its dally breau is deplorable , Human senst. , blllty Is touched by the thought oJ : - children of tender years being consigned - signed to industrial bondage in a . la11l1 of pleuty. If the sight of a few score children tolling in a factory arouses the humane Impulse and I evokes vigorous protest , what shall . . . we sa ) ' of an army of 1,750,178 juvenile - nile toilers , all compelled to work for living ? This is the number of children now 'Worldng for their dally bread in the United States , according to a special report of the census bureau jnst Is- sued. They form maI'o than 6 I ) ( r cent of the total number of worlcors In this country , the boys outnumber. ing the girls three to one. When It is remembered that children are largely emplo'ed In the moro menial forms of unsldlled labor It will he . Reen that they are much moro apt to be expored to unsanitary and unhealthful - healthful conditions than are the . adnlts. They are also less able to enftJrco demands for more favorable conditions In the few instances where ' they are Intelligent enough to see the j' necessity for them , They constitute a helpless and pitiful army Aof toilers , 1100rly paid. robbed of childhood and stunted in physical , mental and moral developr.wnt-a reproach to our civ- ilization.

Secretary Taft has Introduced n re. form at West Point , \'hlch he claims will be of benefit to the service , but which will stir up some feollng among army officers , and especially among the cadets. In future the latter are not to be allowed to choose which branch of the service they will enter , but w1l1 be asslgnod to their places by a board. The custom has been to allow the flrst few hlgh.standlng cadets In the graduating class to go into the engineers , the next group to the caval 1' ) " and those who remain to the Infantry. This gave the cadets an added Incentive to take high ranI , so that they could have some choice as to their future. But the secretary states , and plausibly. that this sys. tem of ton threw men Into a branch for which they were not fitted and the result was a. detriment to the army. MAKES NEW CHURCH RULINGS. Pastor Plans to End Unruly Scenes at Weddings. Dr. Charles H. Armstrong of St. 1\1ar"s Protestant Episcopal church.

They did not ask per. mission to use the church , but swooped down on the placu with doc- OJ'alors aUlI florIsts before Dr. Armstrong - strong , the rector , had any Idea of their Intention.

IS SOUND AND TRUE. ROOSEVELT AND J.'AIRDANK8- THE PLATFORM THEY &T ND ON. I All Views Harmonized In TarIff and Reciprocity Declarations That Ad. here to the Doctrine of Protection to Every Form of American Labor and Industry , The caulC of 11rotectlon to the 11\1.Ic.r and Industries of the United Stntes has gained a trhunl1hal victory In the national convention of the Ropub. IIcan party. The platform of the party aud the nomination of Roose- veil al\l ( Ii'alrbnnlts carr ' a pledge to tbo labor and hulustl'les of the United State that , so far ns the Rcpubllcan Imrty Is able to control results , they shall bo exempt from ruinous aUacl , which so much endangers tbo har. mony of successful commercial de. velopment nUll the wage.earnlng en. paclt ) ' of our peol1le. The Hepubllcqn national platform at this year wlll statui the careful scrutltl ' of students of 110llUcal econ. om ) ' as well as of the Republican party leaders , whoso dovotlon to the principles of protection has contrlb. uted so l11uch o the de"elopment of American industry anll commerce and to the well being of labor during the past fort ) ' years. The ono strl1dng feature of this excellent platform cannot tall to attract the attention of Republicans everywhere and that Is the pledge against unnecessary tarlft tinltorlng and the pledge that no schemes for reclproclt ) . In trade Wltl : foreign nations sball bo per. mltted to Injure any Industry In the United States. 'fho fact wlll not be lost sight of that hld the principles enunciated In this platform governed the Hepub- ! lean national admlnls'trmlon during the past two years there would have been no such thing as reciprocal trade agreements with any fOl'elgn nation , no matter how great the Incentlvo nor how charitable the spirit which prompted such negotiations , when the - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ) , . . , - - - - - - - - fact was clearly demonstrable that moro than one Industry In the United States was certain to be InjurIously affected thereby. Sturdy devotion to the prlnchl1es of protection and pledges that all American labor and industry s\llll \ ! bo safe.guarded were made the lwynote ot the Republican party declaration. The Republican national platform of this year males this emphatic I declaration , which Is In harmony with , the doctrlno Ullon which the Imrty Is . based. " "Protection which guards and de. . velops our industries Is a cardinal policy of the Republican party. The measure of protection should always at least equal the dlfterenco In the ( est of 11roductlon at homO' anri nbroad. We Insist upon tbe main. tenance of the principles of protec' lion. and therefore the rates of duty should bo readjusted only when con. dltions have so changed that the publlc Interests demand their altera. tlon. but this work cannot sately bo committed to any other hands than those of the Republican party , " Two vital points are embodied In this clause of the Republican platform - form : Ii'lrst , that the measure of pro. lection shall bo the dlfterence In thereat roat of production In this country and In torelgn countrllJs. Thlfl 18 a guaranty that every esesntial element - ment In the cost of production , whetbor It be the rates of 'Tages paid to worltlngmon , the value of calli tal Investments , or the cost of llants : ind , whetbel' the production so meas. ured relates to commodities of the factory , the mlno or the farm , IIhall always he at least embodied in the laws governing the Importation ot cflhwctlng products admitted to tbo [ : orts of the United States , Second , : md whnt Is a vital prlnclplo In this platrm declaration , Is that the RepUblican - pUblican part ) ' shall determlno when ondltlons ha.'o so changed as to make readjustments of tarlfC sched. ules necessary or deslrablo In the public Interests. Certainly It is a [ lroposltlon to which all sonslblo men will agree. that no such readjustment should be made , at any time , when the good results expected to ho ob , talned thereby would bo more than outweighed by the attending Injurious etrocts to Industr ) ' and la1Or cerlaln to attend such readjustment of the \trlrl. . . ' " ' .1'- , " ' " " ; ' ' ' ' " , . ' . ! , , , . " "i'f"1l'1 The closing clauses In the tarl I.Jnnk of the platform constltuto an arrnlgnment of the DomocrnUe Ilnrty's position on the tarift , which must 1:0 homo to the hearts l\11d mlnl1s of people everywhere In this country , It points out how the Dem. ocratlo party has declared the pro. tocUvo tarlft to bo unconstitutional , A party with such bollofs could not , In justice to ItscIt , do otherwhlo than promptly destroy every , "esUge ot l1rotectlon Immediate\ ) ' upon bolng ( l:1\'on : ptlW'er to nccolUllIsh that 1'0- suit. suit.Another Another I'olnt which w1l1 not loon bo forgotten Is that II a Democratic tarlft has al\\'ayo been followed b ) ' business nt1\'erslty ; n Ilepubllcan tar. 1ft by business prosperity. " The facl was not lost olght of also that tree trade Engla11l1 Is now engaged In aC' tI\'e agitation to return to the prln' clple of protection In her Intornatlonal trade arrangements. The 111atform Ileclaratlon on the subject or our foreign trade , with special bearln ! ; Ul10n the qucstlon 0' ' reciprocity , whllo not so olt1llhatlc al ! It might ha\'e been" when examined cloDely , will be tound to meet the requirements of UIO time. The recl , I1roclt ) ' section guarantees that Inter , natlo'nnl trade arrangements shall , when put Into effect. bo "consistent with the principles ot Ilrotectlon and without Injury to American ' ) [ ; rlcul. ture , American labor or any American Industry. " Reciprocity In noncompotlng prod , ucts Is the reciprocity of l\tcKtnlo ) ' and of the Republican Imrty. 'frado agreements with foreign countrlos , whlch safeguard American agriculture and American labor and every American Industry , are trade ngrecments consistent with the prin. clples of protection , and w1l1 not be harmful to. the Industries and the labor of the United States. Another Objection Disposed of. A few years ago men who were In. I cllned to consider the tarlft question. . from the standpoint of actual good to the country were incllnod to believe that wo should conthlOo to be a great exporting nation so tar as agrlcul' . - " " _ . 1 Would Displace the Keystone of th e Arch. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - . . . . . . . . . . - - - - - - . . . . . . , . . . . . . . . . . . tural products were concerned , but they could not bellove that wo should bo largo exporters of Irmnufactured products. These opinions were not set forth In 11\1bllc' political opln , Ions , but were the subjects of man ) ' a discussion In 111'111 te. 'fhe men were 81ncero , It was simply a ques , tlon of what would actually occur , not what the pollt.lclan needed to pro' cialm to advance his own 110lltlcal In' ter sts or tllQ Int'Qrest8 of the par' tlcul r party with which he was al. Bed. Since then. however , many 01 these mon have had reason to change these opinions , for the steady in , crease In the Gxport of manufnctured , products has been a mathematical demonslratlon that they were mis , taltOn. 'rho statistics now Indicate thut the fiscal year ending u month from now will ohoa great Increase In the exports of manufactured prod , ucts above any years In the history of the country. In other words. the facts its they have actually occurred have talten the pith out of the theory , and thus another theoretical objec , tlon to a protective tnriff has been disposed ot.-Munclo ( Ind. ) Times. An IIIAdvlsed Step , The National Association of Manu. facturers lias stirred ul1 a hornet's nest by Its recommendation to Con. gress that a tariff and reciprocity commission bo appointed. Opposition to this recommendation comes frU:1 manufacturing and general business ch'cles. Celtalnly It does seem to have been an 1lI.advlsel1 stell to tal < o In a presidential campaign year , for It develops an agitation that may form a , new compBcation In tariff discussion , and neither of the two great political parties appears dls. posed to rush Into the tariff arena.- 'I'ho Ohio Valley Manufacturer.
