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

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. The con
stant drainage of impurities through a sore causes it to fester, grow red and
inflamed and eat deeper into the surrounding flesh, and often there is severe
pain and some discharge. S. S. S. is the remedy for Sores and Ulcers.

MSICibbin
secretary of the national child labor com
mittee, about a month ago, and In reply
this Is what I wrote to hlmt
Replying to your letter dated February
Inviting me to become one of the Nebraska
child labor committee, I wish to say. that
I believe It would be better for me not
to serve. 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

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. Today wtll mark the Dig
effort of the antis, and they are deter
mined to omit no effort to get a full dele

tha mayor's office before 8 o'clock and will
be marshalled to the depot by John

These preparations have caused no alarm
to the believers In the cause of annexation.
They believe that the legislature will not

the question. None are better acquainted

dally. 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.
The annexationists of 8outh Omaha have
not coveted th. torrent of abuse which
Is Indiscriminately hurled at every man
who has courage enough to make a public
fight. 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.
Fred Brlx, living in Albright, a workman
in Armour's shops, had a finger taken of
by a riveting machine. His duty waa to
direct the machine and as he waa holding
two pieces of metal to be joined he pressed
the foot lever and the machine closed on
his finger. It snipped the flesh off cleanly
on the second finger of the right hand.

of Joe Woods from Kllpatrlck's grading

EXTRAVAGANZA AT THE KRUG
Williams Company Famishes a Lively
Show of Good Sort to Big;
Aadtence.
Harry W. and 81ms Williams' extrava
gania company drew a good house at th.
Krug last night. They presented a two
act comedy, "The Other Fellow," a hod ire
podge of buffoonery. 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.
The performance was entertaining through
out, with diversion enough to satisfy tbe
most fastidious. It will be repeated at the
Krug at a matinee today and tonight.
