Wilmer of Atlanta, j Ga., writes that great efforts are being j made iu his state by organized labor I and philanthropists in all walks of life 1 to have the next legislature pass a child labor bill. The news is gratifying to all who hope for the continued ad vancement of the human race. While there are many good people in this world who sit with folded hands wait ing for the Bitye promised millennium there is some satisfaction iu knowing that there are others who work and work hard to hasten its coming. A bill has been prepared in Georgia i which is notable for the moderation with which It seeks to change present conditions. Its provisions are, substan tially and iu brief: No child under twelve to be employed in manufactur ing establishments unless there is a widowed mother or invalid father de pendent on such child for support; no child under ten to be so employed un der any circumstances; no child under fourteen to be employed at night, or in the daytime unless able to read and write simple sentences In English; this latter provision not to go into effect uu | til January, IDO3. There are three good reasons why child labor should be protected in the south. From the viewpoint of the man ufacturers, on the confession of sev eral of their number, intelligent and educated working people are necessary in the south if the south would com pete successfully with the north in the textile industry. It is Impossible to have intelligent and educated working people if the rising generation is put to work at u tender age. The public generally in the south cannot too warmly support laws for the protection of the physical and men tal health of children, for a nation or a section of a nation must have healthy men and women to be prosperous and happy. Puny mill workers do not grow into the best citizens. And the north, the working people of the New England and middle states, has grave reasons for being interested in the passage of child labor laws in Georgia, Alabama and other trans- Mason and Dili oil Hue states. Child la bor means cheap labor In the sense that it is poorly paid. While such cheap labor does not win out in the long run, it unsettles prices and paves the way for wage cuttings. The battle for humanity is waging in England, a competitor in the world's markets. The battle is waging in the north, also a competitor in the world's markets. But the south cannot afford to Jeopardize the health of its people In attempting to act ; as a temporary world competitor. It must build solidly for the future. Let the working people of the United States strengthen the arms of the American Federation of Labor for the good work which it is doing to organ ize labor In the south.—Henry John Neeson In Philadelphia North Ameri can. ItroordM Vfrnnn Rhetoric. "Mark Hunna, Charles M. Schwab, J. Pierpont Morgan and the Rockefellers as the friends and well wishers of the laboring men are indeed a spectacle to make men wonder." So said Norman E. Mack of the Buf falo Times when asked what he thought of the conference between cap ital and labor. "Men who have squeezed fully two and a half billions of dollars from the necessities of all and the toll of the laborer," lie continued, "now come hero and loudly pledge their friendship. "It means that these fnrseeing phi lanthropists are beginning to see a great light. I trust the laborer will gain something from the conference, | but would it be uncharitable, would it j show a doubting nature, If one were to : whisper to organized labor, 'Don't be deluded into buying any gold bricks?' j "There are great and good men on I the committee selected," said Mr. Mack, "but there ure some others who have better claims to greatness than to goodness. Docs anybody seriously believe that Murk Ilanna or Morgan or the Rockefellers have any friendship for the luborlng man? They have not proved it in the past thirty or forty years, and a wise man can judge better by the acts of forty years of oppres sion as against two days of rhetoric."— New York World. Color attention mid the Federation. Tho result of the contest over the seating of the Richmond delegates to the recent annual convention of the American Federation of Labor is not all that the colored men asked, but It involves a more distinct recognition of colored labor than has hitherto been given. The delegation from Richmond, • which refused to affiliate with colored | labor, was admitted, but the conven tion authorized the organization of a separate central union for colored la j bor in that city. Colored workingmen are refused ad | mission to the white unions of Rieh- I mond, but they can form an organiza tion of their own which will be rccog- I nlzed by the American Federation of l Labor. Southern white workingmen j can draw the color line in their local | organizations, but the national organ • ization in its own field will Ignore that | distinction. This seems to be the plain Interpretation of the uctiou of the con vention iu fctaranton. DPI'IJII'P neiuihlle a Failure. The Western Federation of Miners has adopted a declaration of principles, the sixtli clause of which reads: "We believe the representative form of gov ernment a failure and regard direct legislation as tin l first step necessary to enforce legislative reforms. We therefore demand the initiative and referendum in the making of all laws, national, state and municipal."

Lack of (Ibrous roots is one cause of many transplanted trees failing to grow. A sod furnishes great protection to the roots of the trees against injury by freezing. Intensive cultivation of the young or- ; chard makes a vigorous growth of the side roots. In making an overcrop it costs the I tree more to ripen the seeds than to make the fruit. Peach trees should have the ends of long shoots shortened, so that bushy trees may result. Plant a few fruit trees of different varieties every year, and your orchard will never he old. It is sometimes hard to get a new tree to grow thrifty when surrounded h.v those in hearing. i S^SaSl >v: >1 ' ? >on"t Me tho top of your ; t *V./ . ' .-;y ••*" .mis in ■erW'S tli 'hi fashioned way.
