Acting Mayor Johnson, oy an act of ex treme graclousness and courtesy, will not disturb ths Dahlman plan of - retaining Tom Lee in the office of city prosecutor. It was supposed, that with the mayor ab sent over s council meeting Mr. Johnson would promptly send In the name of II- 8. Daniel to replace Mr. Lee, whom ' the mayor has succeeded in keeping connected with the Job so far. Mr. Johnson will do nothing of the kind. He told Mayor Dahl man that he would not try to take a mean advantage of his absence, but would let him transmit a nomination to ths council Tuesday night. - Unless Mayor Dahlman failed to leave the document with the city clerk Tom- Lee's nsme will be up for re jection sgain. It is probable another week will elapse before the mayor returns, but under the arrangement Mr. Lee can bang on to his Job nevertheless. Favors gaaday Saloons. Acting Mayor Johnson, who will serve as a member of the Fire and Police Board ex-offloo, was asked what he thought about Governor Mickey's pronunclamento that saloons must be closed Sundays. "I am not in favor of. closing- saloons Sundays,' said Mr. Johnson. ' "I have not yet met with the firs and police board, but I don't care who knows my position In the matter. I am not worrying about the governor dispossessing ms of my Job on the Commission. It only happens once in a while when the mayor Is out of town, and the governor has nothing to do with councilman or mayor elected by the people." 1 It was suggested that Mr. Johnson's open stand on the Sunday saloon question was actuated by his religious beliefs. He Is a Seventh Day Adventlst and observes Satur day as the Sabbath. Last Saturday ha followed his usual custom and had Council man Bedford in ths executive chamber re ceiving visitors, dispatching hospitality and transacting minor business But with re ference to the Clvlo Federation, Mr. John son said: "I don't see any reason for Its existence and think It should go out of business."

The .Be sttwa WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY More than one in six of all the chil dren In the United States from 10 to 16 years of age are employed In. some gain ful occupation that Is, in working for wages for some employer, says Dr., Sam uel McCune Lindsay In the Woman's Home Companion for September. That comes perilously near the child of any reader of these pages. The margin of safety. Is too small. The danger to demo cratic Institutions, which must depend on the vigor and intelligence of our cltl senshlp Is too great. Child labor strikes at the roots of democracy, and presents the greatest moral Issue the American people have had to face since the civil war. If a child Is not competent to have the full control of one dollar's worth of his or. her property until 21 or 18 years of age. and cannot even have a voice in the selection of his legal guardian until he Is 14 (the law of most of - our states), how can he be competent to de cide unaided , how much education be should have, or hbw -and when he should sell his labor and his life? Is It too high an age to fix aa the Industrial majority of a child ?A prominent United States senator said thoughtlessly: ' "I went to work on ths farm before I was 12, did the chores and milked the cows before I went to school, and again after I came home from school until dark. It was hard work, too, but I am none the worse for It today." His broad shoulders, fine physique and kindly eye attested the truth of his statement. He went to school and performed labor which no child labor law in the country even now prohtblta, and yet he thought his statement was sufficient cause to doubt the wisdom of any child labor legislation. Many people think as this senator did. and stop at this point, but he did not. -m M "Pure," but actual is branded Schlitz unique for its purity. Phone 918 Schiltz Brewing Co. So. 9th St., Omaha er y kee Fa A few hours' sitting as chairman of an important committee, hearing testimony of what children who work In a largo city do nowadays, convinced him that the analogy of farm labor, or even of condi tions a generation ago, did not hold good. He wrote an epoch-making report, con demning child labor, and urged the sen ate to pass for the District of Columbia the strictest law yet proposed in any American community. The scales have not fallen, however, from the eyes of all his colleagues. One unregenerate but sturdy farmer in the senate, whose ser vices to the nation entitle him to much praise, still says he would favor an age limit of 7, but will fight any bill that does not allow a boy to go to work until he Is It, which. In his Judgment, ought to be entitled "a bill to promote Idleness," and another distinguished senator says: '"A boy of 12 is plenty old enough to go to work, even If it Is carrying messages at night after a full day at school." What a comment on our public schools If they do not direct the whole activity of chil dren under 14 in a way to relieve them from the charge of idleness! As a matter of fact, one object of the child labor agitation, and an Inevitable consequence of Its success. Is the enlarge ment of public school facilities, pro vision for Industrial training that will educate, and not exploit, the lengthening of the school term, and the extension of school facilities so as to direct the en ergies ol the child outside of school hours as well as In them, and during vacations as well as In term time.
