KLAMATH COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL BOOMER. a! Pam Morning. ' I:BY A MODISTEJ LA companion to Holmesi tEvening, by a TailorPJ Welcome, fair Morn, in misty robes arrayed, Casting aside the velvet cloak of night, Coming With music through the fragrant air, And bearing in thy arms the hour of peace ! All nature draws a deeply tranquil breath, Waiting in silent joy thy soft approach, While Chanticleer in joyous cadence sings His praise to thee, his queen. Thou seemist to me Like some fair dryad, bearing flowers, Who stands On the front cover of a fashion book. Now on thy corsage burns the brilliant sun, Amidst the laws of thy neglige, Waking to brighter light the dewey pearls That jewel thy throat; and all thy petticoats Are edged With frills of softest rosy hue. Now doth the drowsy maiden wake from sleep And, turning on her pillow, dream of when Sheill hie to me to fit her wedding gown. Anon thouilt lay aside the morning robe , In which thou greetist our earliest consciousness And, stepping forth in spotless azure drest, Like school-girls hastening to their morning tasks In neat and jaunty jumper suits of blue, Thouilt tell the world the time of dreams is past. Then must I take my needle and my shears And with them lift my load of daily cares, And through the sunny hours thou,st brought, sweet Morn, Iill labor for the weal of womankind; That haughty dames may dress in Paris style, And dainty maids be clad from head to foot In garments which befit their youthful grace, And children, from the age of babyhood, Go ever on their ways in trig attire.

i ii i g r! l 20 KLAMATH COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL BOOMER. Child Labor. EBY LUE LEONARD, i011 Before civilization had developed to any marked degree man was absolute master in his own family and his powers were unlimited. ' His children were under his complete control and he could sell' them into slavery or even take their lives With perfect impunity. However, this state of affairs gradually gave way to one of a more temperate character where the parent was compelled to recognize the individual rights of his offspring and to moderate his treatment accordingly. Mental development and a state of moral improvement followed. Our present day and race is a direct a result of this refining and broadening. All over the world we Americms are recognized for our high ideals of religious and political liberty, our wealth and prosperity and for our personal freedom. Oar educational systems are being perfected, our literature has developed till we no longer need to take the old countries for models and strive to attain to theirs eminence. Our inventions are used all over the world and the word itAmerican is synonymous with progress and enterprise. Slavery, the one blot on our otherwise stainless history, was wiped out in blood and by the emanancipation proclamation. To the unthinking or the uninitiated our country seems free from any form of this evil; But is slavery abolished? If so, how can we account for the ignoring and willfully breaking of one of the most sacred tenets of our Nation by the great corporations of the East? J In Pennsylvania and other eastern states where great factories are daily supplying the demands of not only our OWn country but of all the world, are thousands of helpless children who, 'forced by necessity or parental authority, are chained to a work worse than the slavery of the Southland. The dawn of the 20th century reveals these children toiling in glass factories, Where the unnatural heat and glass particles blast their growth; in cigar factories, Where the deadly nicotine saturates their systems as ' h Jami ?' i'q f! , w I 1!
