If a man could make these wages for
fifty-two weeks a year throughout his
working I fe. If he had a thrifty wife and
healthy children, his lot. If not altogether
rosy, w oukl be far from hopeless he ,
might even he able to realize the dream
of a little home and garden of his own I
which lurks !n the mind of every normal ,
man. There re few- old men ftnd women
in textile factories. Hy " they are unfit
for the labor. The terrible strain on brain
and nerve and muscle-. has so- destroyed
the agllitv and power of attention txces
sary that they must give up the factory;
he drops out. p-'eking up thereafter any odd
Job he may. . . .
H is rlils -short working life of the
father, with the declining wage for years'
before It actually ends," that makes child'
labor an essential factor in the solving of
the problem of the textile family. With,- ;
out their help the father cannot support
the fam'ly and lay aside anyth ng to in
sure lila own and his wife's future.
If Hie children prove healthy, if they
"turn out well." If work is continuous,
the little home mny be secured and the
modest little dream may come true. Tint
suppose that a weater. rushing into the
cold air at the end of his ten-hour dav,
la chilled and has pneumonia It happens
often enough. Suppose an uncovered genr
or belt catches him in an uncatitloua mo
ment and crushes a limb or takes a scalp,
or a carelessly handled machine nips o!f
a finger It happens all the time. Suppos
that, standing througi the hot summer in
the poisoned air of a dry closet, he falU
111 of a fevor. Or, If he escapes nil these
things, suppose that the ractory goes or.
short time thouusands of operatives all
over New England have had their week I v
wages cut In half this last year, by short
time.
Or, suppose that which' has happened
repeatedly In Rhode island, he is obliged
by some intolerable condition to strike and
have no wage what happens then? That
happens which 1 cannot but believe Is more
disastrous to the family than even child
labor the wife must go Into the factory.
The mothers go Into the factory and the
homes gradually go to pieces. How they
manage the housework at all it Is hard
to see. They must be at the factory at
6:30 a. m., sharp. They do not leave until
5:!I0 p. hi. Before they go to- work the
breakfast must be prepared, and plans laid
for the lunch, which some, child still In
schorty brings to the mill.
After her' ten hours at spindle or loom
the ' Ionian "hurries to a cold, unkempt
house, which she must make comfortable
and cheerful if it is to be so. Is It
strange that the hohies' of" the factory
mothers are generally untidy, . the food
poor, the children neglected? How can it
be otherwise? 'Her limit" of endurance, of
ambition, of Joy, even of desire of life, has
hem passed. More appalling, she sees her
ability to work falling off. Almost uni
versally, 'I should say, women who have
worked ten - years In a factory have the
patent-medicine habit they are "so tired"
they "take something." Is it surprising
that a few of them finally discover that
they can get from beer or whisky the same
temporary strength at less cost? The sur
pr as is not that many drink, but that more
do not.
Now the hope of this factory mother lies
In her child, since she, like her husband, Is
bound to wear out at a comparatively early
age. And what chance has she to bear a
healthy child? They give you heart-breaking
figures of infant mortality in Rhode
Island, and everywhere one goes what one
sees and hears confirms their truthfulness.

naught but perfect accord. Hut suddenly

In his relations with his father, and In
hasty anger, ha left the home, went to I'hl-
ago, enlisted In the army, and almost
brfora he knew what lie had done, lis was
on board of a I'nlted States trsnsport
bound for Manila. In the Illinois farm
house there was deep sorrow. The break
was so sudden, the circumstances were so
trying, the trouble was so needless In
ilia young man's heart there were a'o
disturbing reflections. The memories of the
home life came vividly Into his mind con
tinually. Ills conduct did not commend It
relf to Ills Judgment, as he looked back
upon It during the long hours of the ses
vosg, where there was plentv of tlrue
for quirt reflection. Hut he had acted and

- It appears that the consumption of spirits
Increaned last year hy war SO per cent
Perhaps taxes were paid on more liquor
than was drunk, but the payments from
year to ear are a pretty close measure of
consumption. That drinking should In
crease in the face of so much prohibition
and local option . legislation causes some
astonishment, but Is not. we believe, con
trary to experience. Legislation may have
an effect on manners, methods and detail
of consumption, but it doea not change
habits. Proh blilon, if Maine la any cri
terion, does not help at all in rromotlns
temperance. Local option may do good, but
ia more likely to benefit the rising genera
tion than the one whose bablts are formed.
It ts possible thst to spite of the internal
revenue figures the manner of drinking
