Seeds of Rocky Mountain export draw child labor in forests
In the continental divide west of Denver seeds from Rocky Mountain conifers are gathered for export to America and Europe. Children aged 10 to 12 work to earn clothing for a year, while a Texas cotton picker family reportedly made $200 in one fall by double-hand harvesting. The seeds go to botanical gardens and forestry departments worldwide including Germany and the United States. Memdouh Bey, a Turkish poet and Legitimist figure, now in London, edited Le Liberal Ott man in Paris, later suppressed by the French government. He held posts in Turkey, most recently as assistant director of foreign affairs in Smyrna, and has faced exiles under Abdul Hamid. The French episcopacy mourns Bishop Mer Isoard, who at 81 attacked government interference in church affairs and, though accepting republican governance, opposed the ministry of the hour. He wrote to Jules Ferry in 1891, “You are neither France, nor the state, nor the republic.”
