child labor question. III TACT. thc

England. France, Germany. and all the
manufacturing states in tine north or
our country. after thorough mreSu-
cation and long experience. looking
both to the mental and moral uplifting
and the material advancement OF the
upoplc, have decided 10 prohibit the
labor in mills of children Of tender
age. We cannot longer avoid the re-
sponsiblity. That the State has a
right to interfere. no thoughtful citi'
zen will question. No one can sue
cessfully controvert the position that
this labor Of long and constant hours
is injurious to the child, and. there
fore. affects the citizenship OF the
future This being true. the State has
q right to como in and say it shall bC
stopped
We have rapidly grown into manu-.
| featuring state. and arc being forced
to meet strong competition from 9th
or sections. It is argued that tho
| state has a right to control. to n rpa-
sorable extent. the hours OF labor oil
the child. in view Of the fact that
! the responsibility for crime and ignor.
| ancc rests upon the State.
PARDONING BOARD

vdeS that the Governor shall have
power 10 grant rcpricvcS. commute

He is required to report all pardons
