ELECTRIC LIGHT is the most suitable for homes,
offices, shops and other places needing light.
Electricity can be used in any quantity, large or
small, thereby furnishing any required amount of light.
Furthermore, electric lamps can be located in any place,
thus affording any desired distribution of light.
No other lamps possess these qualifications, there
fore it is not surprising that electric lamps are rapidly
replacing all others in modern establishments.

AWFUL FACTORY CONDITIONS
New York State Investigating Commit
tee Found Pale4 Worn Women Work
ing in Twine Manufacturing Con
cern Owned by the International
Harvester Company.
Awful conditions have been found
by the state factory investigating com
mittee of Npw York in the mills of the
Osborne Twine company. No. 8, at Au
burn, N. Y., owned by the Interna
tional Harvester company, of which
George W. Perkins, chief financial
backer of Theodore Roosevelt in his
scheme to ruin the Republican party,
is a director.
"The appearance of the women
workerB in this plant," said a member
of the committee,- "was very dis
heartening. They"' were worn and
pale and their clothes, faces and
hands were covered with oil and hemp
cloth. Many of these women, so called,
are only children in age and they have
to lug huge piles of hemp, weighing
150 pounds each, across the floor, the
load in some cases being bigger than
the women themselves. In the spin
ning room, where women are employ
ed tn tViA AT1iia1nn nf ttioti wtlA
would have to receive higher wages.
the clatter of machinery fa so fright
ful that a voice below a shriek cannot
be heard. The rooms are dark, though
for no necessary cause, and no at
tempt is made to remove the dust,
which is kept in constant motion by
the line shaftings despite the require
ments of the law. This dust is
breathed continuously by the women,
many of whom complain of chronic
coughs and colds. The dust and dirt
are so thick upon the clothes of the
girls that at the noon hour which in
many cases consists of but a few
minutes and at the close of the day'
or night's labor, the girls have to
sweep each other clean with brooms."
It is further stated that the custom
of working the women all night is
permanent, married women being se
lected for night work, their hours be
ing from sundown until 630 o'clock
in the morning. Of 400 -women em
ployed in the mills, 200 work all night.
When George "V. Perkins was asked
by a New York Times reporter for an
explanation of the conditions in an
establishment of which he is one of
the directors, he made, In part, the
following remarkable reply: "This
night work has been rendered neces
sary largely because of the govern
ment's perfectly unreasonable attitude
toward large corporations, which has
made it impossible for managers ot
large concerns to know whether they
were on foot or horseback, whether
they could expand their plans to keep
up with increasing demands or not"
The late Mark Twain in his bright
est moments never uttered anything
more grimly humorous than the fore
going explanation by George W. Per
kins of why the oompany of which he
is a director is working women all
night under, the frightful conditions
disclosed by the New York state fac
tory investigating committee.
Meantime it ought to be of interest
to millions of Republicans throughout
the United States to know where the
money comes' from to finance Theo
dore Roosevelt in his campaign of
"rule or ruin."

Governor Wilson Is a free
trader and is so recognized by
the rank and file of bis party.
The truth is emphasize; 3 little
by the fact that he "buys his
socks in Scotland.
His apparent . Indifference to
the condition of American
laborers may be due to his abil
ity to get -along without being
obliged io eat bread in the sweat
of his brow.
He has been extremely fortu
nate in this respect. His auto
cracy has been deeply tinged
with 'aristocracy during his en
tire career as an educator and
dabbler in literature.
He has neither by personal ex
perience or observation ac
quainted himself with the actual
struggles and needs of the ordi
nary wage earner.
During the trying times that
this country was under the
blight of free trade in 1894, '95
and '96, Woodrow Wilson was
enjoying a liberal income that
was in no degree affected by the
deplorable conditions surround
ing the laborers in this country.
Mr. Wilson is not to be con
demned for his - good fortune.
On the contrary, we should be
disposed to congratulate him,
but in self Interest the less for
tunate should protect themselves
against the enforcement of his
tariff theories and policy, a trial
of which has been given more
than once with deplorable effect
upon the industrial life of this ,
country. Trenton Gazette.
