The Southera leaders are restive
uudcr this dictation . They insist
that the bill is an invasion of stat
rights; that eaca state should be
permit.ud to makj i'sown laws ou
the subject of child labor. Tne
bill is, iu truth, directed: against
'hose Southern states which, by
the employment ol child labor in
their cotton factories, are able to
produce at a lower cost than any
similar factories In, Northern state,
where laws for the protection of
children are'rigid iu their terms
and rigidly enforced. The 'Demo

may be some political advantage to
the President in securing the pass

so see that will work against the
Interests of the Southern cotton

what savkd us
The solid basis of the great "war
urospenty" whkh this country ha®
boen t-njoying—the oue thing which
jir-vented us from suffering the ut
most depression ana actual hard
ship as the reeuli of the war In
Europe—was that, under sound Re
publican legislation, we had ap
proached a degree of industrial in
dependence of the rest of the world
v. hich never cou'd have been ap
proached save for the years during
■whii> cut industries, were establish
ed, fos:t.red and built up by a Re
publican tariff . ' •
Where we were hurt was in the
instances wherein we had been' de
pendent upon European sources of
supply for certaia materials, be
cause the industries 1 < producing
those materials had net been es
tablished in this country. The
only reason whv they had not been
established was because^ protection,
had been denied the pioneers in
those industries; t' ey were unable
to meet the competition of Euro
peans and thua never developed
their industries us protected in
dustries were developed.
Every one o£ the grout m-iaupic
turing industries which) were* yuilt
ui> in idta country, and the products
of whlcn are nosv ^©ing to Europe
aud giving us ttie greatest expert
trade ever enjoyed by any nation In
the wui Id a history, wam es'aibllshed
and developed through intelligent
Republican/ legislation, fought at
every step by the Demoorats. The
war has vindicated the soundness
of the Republican. theorf-y that we
should treate all kinds off manufac
turing industries nX home and be
come commercially independent of
the world . ' '
The present' Democratic congiress,
despite the record of its pa£t oppo
sition to protection, despite the
Democratic stand during the entire
political existence of the party in
fa.vor of free trade, has admitted
that its theories were wrong ajid

~ HIS PERILOUS RIDE.
Strategy of > Dispatch Bsarar In th»
Rtisao-Japantsa War.
Ttie Invention of wireless telegraphy
has done away with much of the old
time dispatch sending which was so
picturesque a feuture of previous wars.
Often when two friendly armies are
separated by a force of the enemy it is
a matter of defeat or victory that a
means of communication shall be open
ed between them. Thousands of brave
men have lost their lives In performing
this temporary war postal service.
During the Russo-Japanese war an
officer of Cossacks offered to carry a
dispatch which ten horsemen had al
ready failed to get through.
"The others have failed." the officer
insisted, "because they traveled on
horseback. I shall go under my horse."
"Under your horse!" the general ex
claimed But he accepted the offer of
the volunteer. Whereupon the Cossack
officer received the communion, said
his prayers, bade goodby to his men
and started off In the middle of the
night strapped face downward beneath
his horse, which he guided by means
of passing the reins between the fore
legs of the horse. The Japanese out
posts whistled to what they thought
was a riderless horse, but did not shoot
at it when it did not heed them The
animal, driven on by kicks from the
officer's heels, accomplished the Jour
ney of thirty miles in safety. On the
following night the officer returned as
he had gone.
When Lieutenant Gllmore. an officer
of our navy, was captured by the Fill
pinos during an insurrection he sent
news of his whereabouts through the
Filipino lines by a Spanish prlsonei
who had been liberated Naturally al>
»ucb persons were carefully searched
But the insurgent officer fulled to ex
amine the baml>oo walking staff of the
Spaniard. The end had been opened
the written message Inserted, and m
cork was fitted Into the hole aga!n
which also rendered the paper safe
from water.—Rocky Mountain News.
