Pennock aa tha speakers. M. O. Ronrbough pre sided and tha music waa furnished by Mr. H. K. WheeJock, Mra. O. W. Hamilton. Mies Helen Badllok and Frank Zentmlre Other prominent men occupying tha plat form were Dr. R. L. Wheeler of South Omaha, Rabbi Cohn, Doc Carver and Mogy Bernstein of the Juvenile court, John Dale and Judge Estelle. "Wi a community and state are deeply Interested In these subjects," said Mr. liohrbough in calling- the meeting to order. It has ajwaye been a question, what will be done with our boys. We have Invited prominent men here tonight who will . In telligently dlacuaa these important ques tions." ' Dean Beeeher spoke entirely on the sub ject of the Juvenile court and said: "The Juvenile court as it exists today Is prac tically tha chief safeguard which the state baa thrown up against tha rapidly Increas ing forces of crime which threaten our wel fare and safety. Several years ago several lutes became worked up over tha condi tion of the boy who were growing up with practically no home training. What could be expected except the criminal tendencies? JParenta wera permitting their children to grow up aa animals, without moral train ing. When a boy or girl Is permitted to run without guidance the time comes soon When some restraint must be put on by tha state and so the states stepped In. The Idea of the court Is to provide for the delinquent- child that he might enjoy his childhood. It Is not the aim of the Juve nile court to punish the child. The Juve- plle court finds why the child went wrong M tries to start him on the right road." Kesatdr on Child Labor. Judge Kennedy took up the discussion of the child labor law and spoke of the food tha law would do for the children If passed by the present legislature. - "This Is a materlallstlo age, certainly a time of unprecedented prosperity, and the danger ta at such times to think of things only aa wa sea them," said Judge Kennedy. I am glad to see this Institution turn jkilda from thoughts of money making and consider the souls of the students. "Tha purpose of the child labor law Is the 'protection of the child and the state which has no greater Interest than the Interest of tha children. The period of infancy of animal. A child la perfectly helpless and man Is greater than that of any other dependent. There Is a law on the statute books now which If Inadequate because it admits children of 10 years to work and does not limit the hours. Prof. Howard of the University of Nebraska said the other day that the laws of Nebraska were not as good aa the laws of Russia. Nebraska la first In education, but deficient In labor law. "Tha bill at Lincoln was drafted after taws In other states. The bill la not perfect, but it is a good bUl and we think It the best blU wa could have passed at this time. Children trader M years shall not n be employed more than eight hours a day or more than six days a week and shall not work before a. m. or after I p. m. ' "The objection that this law may work a hardship upon some family dependent upon them Is not borne out by statistics and there are other avenues open. The burden should be borne by the community jather than by a 12-year-old child. No law snforoes Itself, but it needs the public (eotlment behind It, aa well aa officers. Those opposing this measure, with few xceptious, are those who are employing ihlld labor. Their motive Is profit from the labor of children." . Hot Advocate of Child Labor. The chairman next presented Hon. Victor Rosewater, editor of The Bee, who spoke, in art. as follows: "When 1 waa asked to speak here this venlng tha Invitation was to enter Into a loint debate on the question of child labor legislation, and I refused point blank, be sauso I ' was not In favor of child labor, though I thought that the present proposed bill pending at Lincoln was open to serious criticism. . 1 said I would bo willing to apeak to that measure with reference to the feat urea that I thought were not com mendable, and I am here In answer to that Invitation on that condition.. "At the outset I want to resent respect fully tha Imputation which the speaker just before me has put out. He noted some ex ceptions, but with the evident purpose to prejudice the audience, that anyone who would criticise this W was trying to grind down poor. Innocent children and make some personal pecuniary profit out of It. I say I reseat that because while I criticise the bill I say that of all the young men who have ever wtnrked for the Institution with which. I am connected not one ever worked hut who received good pay for his work or Who was ever harmed or Injured by It. And there are hundreds and hun dreds of young men around this city who have worked for that institution and who have been . paid good wages before they were 14 years of age, and they are good citizens In our midst today. "I will make my position more clear by referring ,to some correspondence. I was Invited Among others to become one of the NVbraska child labor committee or-ganl-d to promote the cause of child labA legislation. I received that Invita tion from Mr. Owen R Lovejoy, assistant nmmm ulceh EXTERNAL EVD3EICE 0FDIIHIMLPDI50H Whenever a sore or nicer refuses to heal, it is a sure eign of a diseased condition of the blood. The sore itself is simply an outside evidence of some internal poison, and the only way to cure it is to remove the deep underlying cause. Sores and Ulcers originate usually from a retention in the system of bodily waste matters and impurities. These should pass off through the natural avenues of waste, but because, of a sluggish condition of the difierent members they are retained in the system to be taken up by the blood.) This vital fluid soon becomes unhealthy or diseased, and the skin gives way in some weak, place and a Sore or Ulcer is formed.

I am in sympathy with the move ment to prevent children - from working in harmful pursuits, but I do not regard all gainful pursuits as harmful. For this reason I am not in full accord with the child labor bill which you had prepared and presented to the Nebraska legislature. I believe that adequate compulsory educa tion laws with restrictions upon em ployments injurious to the physical or moral well-being of children Is all that is demanded In our state. BUI Not Considered Perfect. "I received another letter from Mr. Love joy which I will read in part, because I think It will give light upon the subject, and also show that what Judge Kennedy thinks Is a bill which should not be changed In any particular ia not entirely satisfactory to the national child labor committee. , I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of Keoruary 4 regarding the Ne braska child labor committee and am writ ing to correct what I fear la a misappre hension on your part. Let me first say that the members of the national child labor committee and of the various state committees represent a wide variety of opinion on details of legislation. It Is only through the exchange of these dif ferent views mac we are ame to arrive at what we believe to be wise and pro it what we believe to be wise and pro gressive methods in child labor reform. gressive methods in cnuu ii We should consider It unfortunate, there fore, to have any one decline membership In the state committee because unable to endorse any particular bill pending be fore the legislature. Referring to the misapprehension Implied In your letter, let me say that the child labor bill now before the Nebraska legis lature Is not one which we "had prepared and presented to the Nebraska legislature." we aid not see tne dim until it appeared In the printed form, after being Introduced and had nothing to do with Its prepara tion. Had we done so, I can assure you that the bill would have been free from two nerious defects: First, the failure to require what has been found In older in dustrial states an adequate proof of age: and second, the failure to provide for well paid Inspectors to administer the law in place or tne volunteer inspectors provided for In the bill. In spite of these defects, however, the bill on the whole is a very good one, and we believe its enactment would be of great advantage to the Indus tries and people of your state. The bill Is not a drastlo measure, as your corre spondent believes, but a very reasonable one. Such a law should have the effect of preventing the Introduction of Injurious ronns or child laDor. as well as of cor recting any evils ' that may - now exist. It was drawn, 1 suppose, after the plan suggested in the handbook of the National Consumers' league. This handbook con tains a model bill embodying features that experience baa proven essential to effective legislation. , "Now we have been told that the laws of Nebraska are not as favorable for the prevention of child labor as those of Rus sia. I do not know exactly what the laws of Russia provide, but I have taken the trouble today to run over the statutes of Nebraska to see what our laws are touching upon this question. I do not want Nebraska to be put In the same cat egory with Russia If It implies that Ne braska has been negligent or has been backward , In doing what la needed to protect the children.- The laws of Ne , braska at present provide: "1.- Against cruelty to children, which Includes not only the deurlvlnir of fond clothing and shelter, but also permitting mo me vi me cnua 10 oe endangered or the health to be Injured, or to permit such children to be overworked. "it. Against employing minors in or upon premises occupied as a billiard hall. "3. Against allowing a girl under 18 or boy under 21 in any house of ill fame or bad repute. "4. Agulnst selling intoxicating liquor to any minor under 21 years of age. ' Against employment of an child un der 10 years of ageln any manufacturing, mechanical, industrial or mercantile estab lishment. "tf. Against employing any child under 14 In any such establishment except during vacations, unless the child has during the year next urecedtna- such ernnlovmnt it. tended school at least twenty weeks and In addition attends school twenty weeks each successive year. "J. Against employing any female child 'In any manufacturing, mechanical or mer cantile eaiaDiisnmeni, notel or restaurant' more man sixty nours during any one week or ten hours in any one dav. nor before o'clock in the morning or after 10 o'clock at night i. The compulsory education law In Ne braska requires that every child over the age of T and under the age of 15 ahall at tend school during each school year for a period or not less man twelve weeks, with a few unimportant exceptions. "S. In cities truant ofHcera are employed to see to It that all children subject to the compulsory education law are In school and have ample authority to compel them to aitena. "10. The Juvenile court law places all dependent children under the age of 16 under Jurisdiction of the Juvenile court and gives the Juvenile court officers wide authority to restrain any 'dependent child, any nenlected child, any delinquent child.' "11. Paid probation officers are employed In counties having over 40.000 population to see to the enforcement of provisions of the Juvenile court law. "l The curfew ordinance In Omaha pro it is nature s Diooa punoer, maae entirely of vegetable matter, known to be specifics for all blood diseases and disorders. S. S. S. goes down to the very bottom of the trouble, and removes the poison and i ta rtars, matter, so that the sore ia no longer hibits children under specified age from being on the street or in public places after t o'clock at night. "With that showing from our statute books, while I do not say that Is all that should be done, I am here to maintain that we have done considerable already, and are not to be classed with Russia In these matters." (Applause.) Good aad Bad Fealorea. Mr. Rosewater then took up the pro posed bill section by section and called attention to the good and bad features. He endorsed unequivocally the first sec tlon prohibiting the employment of chil dren under 14 years of age, and the thir teenth section prohibiting th. employ ment of children between 14 and 1( in any work dangerous to life or limb, or Injurious to health or morals. He criti cised severely the method of certification required for the employment of children between th. ages of 14 and 1. "It seems to me," he declared, "that In the certificate some things are required which ought not to be required and should not be required In any place outside of Russia. In the first place It must give the date and place of birth, and describe the color of the hair, the height and weight and any distinguishing facial marks of each child. That Is what we do to penitentiary convicts. We take their measurement, height and weight, and w. note whether they have a wart or a tnola at any place on their bodies. (Applause.) "We are to hav. a record placed In the school of every child who has a wart on his nose to prove that he Is fit to earn some money to help support his family. The color of his hair, his height and weight, too. If you take th. height and weight at IS. I do not know what you would find at 15. I do not believe they would correspond very well. It is ridicu lous. If we cannot Identify them by some more polite and civilised way we ought not to Identify them at all." "As to th. hour limits for employment provided in the bill, I suggest that th. present law governing the labor of women was at variance with the new provisions for children, and would require a readjust men all around. I presume some of them are under 16 years of age," he added, "but under this bill tho apprentice cannot work the same hours that the Journeyman works. If the Journeyman works nine hours he will have to work one hour without th. ap prentice." The speaker picked up a large book Is sued by the census bureau, on child labor statistics, and called attention to the fact that Nebraska was mentioned In it but three or four times. While It covered all th. main employments of child labor of the enumerated list, Nebraska contained not a single cotton mill, silk mill, mine or quarry employing child labor, and not enought cl gar factories to be noted separately. Ne braska figured only In children employed in agricultural pursuits. "Out of 144,000 children In Nebraska over the age of 9 and under the age of 16, only 12,000 of the boys and 1,600 of the girls are employed at actual wage earning. But of that list 10,175 of the boys are employed In agricultural pursuits, which are not affected by this bill, and 292 of the girls, leaving 2,107 boys and 2,203 girls who might pos sibly be affected by this bill. From my ob servatlon and my knowledge of the condi tions In Omaha and In the state, I do not believe any large number of these 4.000 boys and girls earning wages of some kind In the 1900 schedule were employed In harmful pursuits as distinguished from gainful pur suits. Two Essential Classes. Concluding, let me say that I came here to discuss this particular bill dlspasslon ately, to subject it to tho criticism of common sense. I subscribe to all th. moral preachings of preceding speakers. believe In the sanctity of the home; I be lieve the child should not be ground down to support the family and be deprived of an education in doing so: but, at the same time I believe many things may happen to the children a great deal worse than being put to work where they will learn to be useful cltlxens. "I trust I hav. made my position clear. I trust I have shown you what I believe Is wrong In this bill; what I believe Is embarrassing to the children; what I be lieve Is depriving them In many cases of an opportunity to start to work when an opening presents which may never come again. I befleve this bill would be best If Just the first and thirteenth sections were taken and the balance excluded, and the rest accomplished through th. compulsory educational law." Pesieek Explains His Views. W. H. Pennock entered during th. discus slon. and Mr. Rohrbough called upon him as the framer of th. bill now before the legislature at Lincoln. "I agree with Dr. Rosewater . that the first and thirteenth sections are th. principal ones of the bill," said Mr. Pennock, "but you cannot enforce a law without you have the penalties. The child labor people have proved It Impossible to trace children unless they hav. these provisions. In eastern states the parents slip one child In the place of another. The women of Omaha had the bill printed as originally drawn, and it was this bill which was cut with sclssora This bill was taken from the accumulated experience of many states. Of 2,000 factories In this state 1,200 employ women and children. While we are first In education, let us be near the top In child labor." Chlldrea la Beet Fields. Judge Sutton was the last speaker, and after a few statements on the child labor law, gave some statistics on the Juvenile court as they had come to his notice. He told of visits to th. beet fields In Nebraska, where he saw many children who should have been In school. "Young children are found In beet fields, canning factories and In packing houses. said Judge Button. "While the shores Df this country welcome foreign children, w. are going to give them the same chance our children have. Th. factory tells u we must hav. child labor to compete with child labor In other parts of the country. I would rather hav. no factories If com petition la so fierce w. hav. to put th. children to work. "We have spent too much time In this country punishing th. little fellows when we should hav. been after th. big fel Iowa W. ar. spending more money to keep down and punish crime than Is spent for educational work or for the churches. "W. spend for humanitarian and educa tlonal purposes each year (540,000,000, and the' total cost for suppression of crime was P,0?e,J27,C6 last year."

AFRAID TO MAKE THEMSELVES KNOWN Board of Edncallon Declares Holiday So Teachers May Go to Lin coln to Swell the , Chorus. Thus far th. men or women who perpe trated the "hanging In effigy" of W. W. Fisher, who has advocated annexation, hav. not come from under cover and made known their Identity with the dirty work. E. Burke, whose name appeared on the coat worn by the effigy, disclaims any con nection or knowledge with It, and he says neither of his sons was Implicated. The Board of Education has lent a hand to the officeholders' raid on Lincoln by declaring today a holiday, so that all teach ers who will may go down to the legisla ture and help swell the pandemonium. Th. board members wish IV to ' be distinctly understood that as a boara they are indifferent to the action of the teachers in this respect, what ever their private opinion might be. As a further inducement for the young women to go, Morgan Heafey has offered bouquet of flowers to each of the fenu- nlne auxiliary.

Several of them hav. made th. positive assertion that if annexation were submitted to a vote that a surprising number of tha undemonstrative public would be found to favor union of the cities.

Were hanging in effigy the only In sult offered by the ring and their friends they might stand It . But the persecu tion Is carried to business relations In several Instances. Th. annexationists for the most part prefer to be left out of dis cussions; but they are ready when the time comes if their assistance Is needed. Two mail men and as many of the police force at least are openly In favor of an nexation, even though the latter are de pendent for their positions on the parties In power. Shoemaker aad Moaey Missing. John O'Leary, tha shoe man on Twenty fourth, reported to the police that his cob bler had absconded with $138 of the store's funds. The cobbler's name was William Myers and the police have his description. It Is believed, however, that the man has left town and will not be found in Omaha. O'Leary suspected the man before because he waa well acquainted with his habit of getting drunk. He asked the police to take him up and give him a good reprimand, but he did not wish to have him prosecuted. He now thinks he would have saved money if he had given the cobbler the, full limit of the law. Riveter Take Off Finger.

Jingles, acrobatlo work and minstrels, embellished with musical di versions and veneered with wit. It Is well staged and la under the personal manage ment of Sims Williams. The specialty work of Frank O'Brien Is the feature. He does some clever work, In the role of a tramp. He , Is entertaining and funny In monologue and song, and does some meri torious acrobatic work. Margie Hilton and chorus sang "If the Man In th. Moon Were a Coon" In a manner that evoked th. plaudits of the audience, and a sextette sang "Its a Shame to Take th. Money." The chorus girls were prettily costumed and exhibited evidences of having had some drill in ensemble. While they can hardly be classed as "all stars," they sang; with enthusiasm, and their voices were sufficient for the class of music attempted.
