UNLOCKED SAFE BLOWN UP
Burglar Gets $1,000 In Grocery Store
t- All ... .
Albany, Ore., Sept. 26. (Special) .
Although I. E. Conn, a local grocery-
man, has been leaving his safe un
locked so that robbers would not blow
it open, when he entered the store
this morning he found it blown to
pieces and about Sl.ouo in money,
notes and valuables missing.
The door was found in the opposite
side of the 30-foot room and marks on
the ceiling and walls indicate that it
had struck the ceiling on the opposite
side of the room and then descended
through a tier of shelving, demolish
ing dozens of coffee cans and other
merchandise.
Although there are a large number
of residences near the store only one
man heard the explosion, and after a
short investigation decided that it was
only a gunshot and returned to bed.

'Whv were vou absent from school

Johnny accepted the thought, but
was absent from school again. On his
return to school his teacher again m-qn:-ed
the cause of his absence, where
upon Johnny replied. "Oh, father
th ught he died and we br.ried him
yti-terday."

LAW IS GOOD
New York, Oc. 4. Criticisms of the
new federal child labor law are "with
out any foundation whatsoever, and
the persons who are giving tnem puo
licitv are either insincere or incompe
tent," says Senator Cummins in a let
ter received today by Owen R. Love
joy, general secretary of the Nation
al Child Labor committee. "I have
just read your letter" says Senator
Cummins, "suggesting that certain
critics of the recently enacted child
labor law claim to have discovered n
joker or jokers m the act which re
flect upon either the integrity or in
telligence of those who are responsi
ble for its passage. If Republicans
are making any such charge against
tne law in order to discredit tne ad
ministration, the effort is disreputable
and must react upon those who are
foolish enough to give currency to the
charge. If democrats are endeavor
ing to impeach the good faith of the
republicans who helped to compose
and pass the bill, they are guilty of a
flagrant offense against public mor
als." Senator Cummins goes on to
say that if the Supreme Court is
called upon to decide the constitu
tionality of the law and grants that
it is constitutional, "it will end for all
time the employment of children un-
ler conditions forbidden in the stat
ute. The claim, if it is made, that the
Drohibition of the statute can be
evaded by retaining the output of a
mine, quarry, mill, cannery, workshop,
j factory or manufacturing establish
! ment for thirty days after children
have been emploved and that then the
i output may be snipped from the state
j of production to some other state is
; too absurd for consideration. With

THE HUB nw
rare exceptions these industrial es
tablishments are continuous in their
operation and the notion that they can
be so organized as to employ cniidren
in a prohibited way one month and
then dismiss them and run a month
without children, after which the out
put of the previous month will be
shipped, and then re-employ children
for another montn ana so on aa innn
itum. is sunremelv ludicrous. 1 ven
ture the prediction that no industrial
concern will ever attempt to evade the
law in this respect. An honest exam
ination of the act will convince any
person that it is just as effective as
it could be made without creating
such a disturbance in the commerce of
innocent people as would have awak
ened a sentiment against the measure
that would have brought about its
speedy overthrow. I have reviewed
again the entire subject and I am
thoroughly persuaded that the ' act
would effectuate the humane purposes
toward which the friends of child la
bor legislation have for a long time
been striving."
