Governor Blkajse, of South Carolina, has recently distinguished tiimself by vetoing a bill providing for the com- pulsory education of children, a dis- tinction which be and his state could well nave afforded to miss. While the attitude of the man who heads the government of the state of South Carolina can in no way be exonerated, and while the world knows that be was doing his utmost to rob the boys and girls of his state of an opportunity to equip themselves for a more even fight against indus- trial conditions as they exist in the southern states today, the history of the bill, now dead, does in a measure lighten the burden of guilt which the fairer minded citizens of the North feel inclined to visit upon the head of the man who dealt the final blow to kill it The measure, politely called a com- pulsory education bill, in the begin nlng provided for the enforced attend- ance at school, for the full term, of all,children between the ages of eight .• and thirteen, "unless the labor of sucfa children is necessary to their support" _This final clause of the document appears to offer sufficient loophole to suit the most fastidious of oppo- nents to the education 'of children. But before it was ready for the action of the legislature, the age limit had been lowered to twelve years, the legal age at which a child may re employed for labor, the length of the school term shortened to three months, and certain sections of the state In which the manufacturing in- dustries were gathered and other rural districts in which education is looked upon as one of the deadliest tools of the devil, were exempted from the restrictions thus set on the employment of children in the cotton mills. Shorn of all its meaning, the treat- ment which the bill received at the hands of Governor Bleask made little difference to the welfare of the chil- dren of the state. The reflection is upon the people who elect men of the mental bias that Governor Bijcask has exhibited to the highest office in the ||fstate, an evidence of the general dls- |Hregard for everything but the commer- feicial interests of the state. ; South Carolina* as well as Georgia, |n«eds a little outside assistance In the of the desirability of radical Icbange in her administration of jus- to the children of the land. .'â-  mm m -#•;â- â€¢â-  CR0B8MG SIGNALS.

Until such precautions are taken, however, the matter of placing the re- sponsibility is not so simple, since the management of the railway, the people of the community which per- mits disregard for the life of Its citi- zens and strangers who happen there, and the victim of the accident are all culpable In varying degrees.

The National Federation of Musical clubs has begun to wage on energetic campaign against the lewd and sug- gestive songs which have become popular among that element which is caught by the catchy Bwlng of the words as well as among those who are entertained by the sentiment they carry. ' Of course, the most desirable out- come of such a crusade would be the uplifting of the public to such a de- gree that there would be no demand for such contributions to our musical literature. The Federation of Musical clubs, however, has hitched Its wagon to no such star, but is conducting its campaign on more practical lines. Recognizing the fact that the publi- cation of all so-called popular music is based on the financial benefit to be derived from the industry, the 100,000 individuals who compose the various musical clubs of the country have agreed to boycott those publishing firms which are guilty of putting the objectionable songs on the market. ac would be a sad shock to the up- holders of the cause of good music, if it should develop that there is greater gain to be had from the publication of the undesirable sort of music than results from the patronage of the members of the musical clubs. • * * * LOOKING TO THE FUTURE. The announcement has been made to the public that Harper's Bazaar, one of the oldest fashion and woman's magazines in the country, has been purchased by a representative of Wil- liam Randolph Heabst. Are we to gather from the transac- tion that Mr. Heabst is preparing a battery against the time when women become Individuals to be counted in matters political? The proportion of Heabst principles and Paris notes will doubtless be de- termined by the Increasing appetite which the feminine readers of the magazine develop as their political ex- perience Increases. We wonder if the foresight which Mr. Heabst has thus exhibited can by any possibility bear any relation to the announcement of the Ways and Means committee of the national sen- ate that they mean to recommend to the favorable consideration of the senate some one of the many hills bearing on woman's suffrage which have been presented to it. TO HELP NATURE. The progressive spirit of Glencoe is evident in the accomplishment of those citizens of the village who con- stitute the board of park commission- ers in the acquirement of land along the Northwestern tracks for park pur- poses. Glencoe, as are all the North Shore towns, is so situated as to make the beautifying of the village a compara- tively easy matter, provided the resi- dents of the community follow the lead of Mother Nature. Such seems to be. the Ides of the people of Glencoe in the fermstlon of their board of park com- missioners snd of the gehttenttn of that organisation, all of whom arc to bt ooa«TStaIated on this step scconv tha realisation of s ROBBERS LOOT WING'S ROME SUNDAY EVE More Than $2,000 Worth of Jewelry and Silverware Taken By Daring Thieves From Evanston Home. COLLEGE LOAFERS TURNED ON THE LIGHTS Burglars Made Themselves at Home By Drawing Shades and Turn- ing on Lights Before Pro- ceeding to Rob. A rich haul was made by early even- ing burglars in the home of L. R. Wing, 428 Greenwood boulevard, Evanston, Sunday night, when jewelry, silverware and cash, aggregating more than $2,000, was taken. The robbery occurred be- fore 8 o'clock, and when Mr. and Mrs. Wing returned to their home shortly after that hour it is thought that they frightened the thieves away. A chair bad been placed at the front door and when the Wings entered the house, the noise of the falling chair gave the burglars warning. They made good their escape, leaving be- hind several pieces of jewelry and silverware which were on tables and dressers. The entrance was gained through a pantry window. The shades were then drawn and with the lights turned on, the robbers set about their task. When the Wings returned they( found the lights on, but apparently little dis- order. Jewel boxes and chests con- taining the sliver and gems, which had been securely locked, had been broken open and the contents taken. Took $500 Ear Drops. Among the most valuable articles taken were a pair of $500 pearl ear drops, a $250 breastpin set with dia- monds, diamond ring, two diamond stick pins, and much silver. Fifty dollars In cash was also secured. Mr. Wing reported the robbery to the police at 8:10 o'clock Sunday night and officers were at once detailed on the case. They were seriously handi- capped, however, as not the slightest clue or description of the burglars was to be obtained. None of the neighbors In Greenwood boulevard, saw anyone about the Wing home. Mr. Wing stated that he had not noticed any suspicious characters about his premises recently. -While they saw no one, both Mr. and Mrs. Wing think they heard the robbers leaving the house by the rear door aa they entered. Fourth Robbery of Series. The Wing robbery Is the fourth of a series of bold thefts which have been perpetrated in Evanston witnln th« last week. With only faint clues to work on, the police have not been able to apprehend or get a line on the robbers. The first of the robberies occurred last Sunday, when six dental offices were looted and gold and costly instruments aggregating more,than $20o in value were taken. The home of B. A. White, 1903 Orrlng- ton avenue, was also visited the same day by burglars, who secured cloth- ing and jewelry valued at $230. The third robbery took place last Tues- day, when daylight thieves entered the home of A. J. Lucas, 1621 Hinman avenue, and made away with $20 in cash belonging to a maid. Recall Other Robberies. These thefts cause residents of Ev- anston and the North Shore suburbs 1 .. to recall the bold series of night â„¢H*!ftAft" C|>IIIT HITS AT beries which "were perpetrated two WW fcfcMVl llliwni years ago this spring. At that time the police were kept on the jump al- most every night answering burglary alarms and giving chase to the yeggs, who used rigs to make their escape. The Chicago police were notified immediately Sunday night of the wing robbery and it la hoped by the Evans- ton officers that the "fence," which probably is in Chicago will be detected by the city authorities. DE8IGN8 UNIQUE PIN. Miss Gratia Erlckson, daughter of Mrs. Wlnnlfred. A. Erlckson, of Evanston, is designing a pin simi- lar to the emblem of the D. A. R. Tor the Daughters of the Parade, the or- ganisation which is being formed by women who marched in the suffrage demonstration in Washington on March 3. "It would be better If parents would take their sons.out of school and put them to work than to let them re- main In school If they patronize the colleges and universities as winter re- sorts," said E. J. Elliot, international secretary of the college Y. M. C A. and former football star. Mr. Elliot, who is better known in Evanston as "Dad" Elliot, made this statement at a meeting of. the College Y. M. C. A., held In the First Methodist church of Evanston. The speaker followed this state- ment by saying that the University club bf Chicago was a place where men waste their time playing cards and smoking cigarettes. ARC LIGHTS SPACES.
