The question is now up to the governor, :!‘h. tendency has been to shorten the hours of labor of wom- en und.,_nmldrcn and to prevent the employment of children altogether Wherever it can be done. An effort ‘was made to kill this bill in New York and the comment reads today as if some of the votes cast in its favor were due as much to opposition to being dictated to as to anything clse, while in some other cases sen- ators said that they would resign sooner than vote for such a measure. The matter of child labor in the cannerles was investigated in New York a few years ago, when it was found that in some of the places peo- ple worked over ninety hours a week, and in some others they worked over a hundred hours a week. That isn't 8iving the children a fair opportun- ity, their little bodies are not given a chance to properly develop and they are also denied all the pleasures that belong to childhood, making them old before their time afid not infrequently shortening their lives. There have been some manufacturers, who, of their own accord have decided not to employ children under a certain age because of a belief that it should not be done as a matter of protection to the little ones and also because of the tact that it is not profitable, older people doing more work and doing it better, and though they are paid higher wages they make up. for it both in the quantity and quality of the labor they perform, APPOMATTOX. Fifty years ago today New Brit- ain was happy and so was every northern city and state, General Lee having surrendered to General Grant at Appomattox court house in Vir- ginila, and the great war which hd been in progress since the middle of i861 came to an end. It had been kunown for some time previous that the Confederate cause was beaten, that the prolonging of hostilities would simply mean a further loss of life, and when Grant wrote Lee to that effect the latter inquired upon what terms he could surrender. That was the beginning of the end, and the great southern commander was treated to no more humiliation than the occaslon absolutely required. The men in both armies were glad when they got word that they were to be allowed to return to their homes to resume thel# duties as citizens in times of peace., There were a large number, however, of those who enlist- ed who never came back, and their re- mains rest in various. places, having been gathered up on battlefields as unknown, and in Arlington cemetery, Just outside of Washington, there is a monument marking the resting place of several hundred soldiers. There are also hundreds of graves of other unknown dead there and there are probably many more in other ceméteries in the north and south. The implements of warfare were not as destructible then as they are now, but thousands upon thousands of men were Killed in battle in the Civil war, and New Britain contrib- uted its share. The anniversary of the surrender at Appomattox reminds | us all that there is no mnorth ori no { south at present, that question hav- ing been settled long ago never again to come up in America. That is the great reason for happiness and re- minds us that we should never forget the men who made this possible and who gave up their lives that the rest of us should enjoy a good government in an undivided country, FACTS AND FANCIES.

There are, doubtless, exceptions to the rule, but as a rule the conditions of farm life in Kentucky ‘have been for 100 years about as comfortable as the farmer’'s degree of prosperity has permitted. This is due in small to the fact that in Kentucky farming has always at- tracted a class capable of appreciat- ing the comforts and conveniences of what city folk call “civilization.” Much of the most attractive social life in Kentucky always has been country life, The greater part of it has owed its existence to a social fabric made up of families dependent for income upon the productivity of the soil. The well-to-do Kentucky farmer has always been upon the average the social equal of the business or pro- fessional man in town. 1t follows that he has taken advantage of his opportunities to educate his children and to make 'his home as com- fortable as his purse has allowed. His ideas always have been those of the “planter,” as the term commonly was, of antebellum days who was, if not always a famous business man, almost invariably an advocate, and an exponent, of a gentleman's way of life, one of the implications of which is the proper housing -and treatment of his wife and children. The familiar quotation of a Ken- tucky farmer, real or fictional, who said that a gentleman should at any cost educate his daughter, his horses and his dogs, even if there should be left no money to spend on education of his sons, reflects by a trifling ex- aggeration, a view of life rather com- monly held in rural Kentucky. In many instances this philosophy has been acted upon literally, at least, with regard to the horses, the boys and the girls—the edtcation of the dogs usually does not entail financial outlay—and it bespeaks a chivalric consideration and appreciation of women - which is racy of the soil of the state. Not every Kentucky farmer was a slave-owner, a rich man and an aristocrat before abolition, but few were slave-drivers, who believed that a woman's lot should be all drudgery and no leisure. The example of the well-ordered farm home—its women folk objects of first consideration, the rooftree a shelter for the representative social life of the state—always has been an inspiration, Upon few Kentucky farms have the cattle and the barn been put ahead of the residence and the family. no measure War Shatters Grammar. (London Globe.) Language, llke almost everything else, is unable to escape from bheing conditioned and modified by war. Half our best metaphors are taken from war as it used to be, and we still talk of nations “taking the sword,” though that is just what they never do, when “moving the howitzer” would be vastly more appropriate. Modern ar- tillery has forced us to make a verb out of a noun and to permit our gunners to ‘‘shell” a place in deflance of all conceivable rules of grammar. ‘We have forced ‘“offensive” ‘and ob- jective” to do duty as nouns in spite of the fact that they are plain and indubitable adjectives, and we freely “bombard,” though it would be quite as reasonable for a pillow fighter to say he “pillowed.” Perhaps the most curious thing in this connection is the way in which we have been driven back upon the ola verb “flee.”” Before the era of the Zep- pelin and the aeroplane we shoula certainly have said “the German fleet ‘fiies’ before the British,” now we say it “flees,” because “flying’’ seems to conote motion above *the surface the earth. There are a hundred s tle differences of this sort to which war has impelled us, and from which the most pedantic purist is totally un- able to escape. Justice For a Little Girl, (New York World.) Modern machinery the punishment offenders has for official of juvenile been perfected to such a degree that of the New York children’s court under the accusation of showing disrespect to her teachers. The awful indic ment lodged against her is that she, with others, had fallen into the bad habit of addressing these important personages in public with slangy or too familiar salutations. Her re- marks were on the “Oh you!" order, which for smartness scems to appeal as strongly to vulgar adult minds as to the ebullient fancy of youth, If we must have a children’s conri for the solemn consideration o crimes this, a fortunate thing that the presiding judge is hoth and humanc.
