National chnd Labor Legislation.

The New York Tribune discusses the
Beveridge child labor bin in this sane
and sensible fashion
Senator Beveridgs plan for a ma
tionaI child labor law involves the
practical exercise of federal jurisdic-
tion over matters hitherto regarded as
of purely local concern. which goes be-
yond anything in the way of centraH-
zation that this county has yet known
The interstate commerce clause
of the constitution is to be used, not
to regulate commerce. but to improve
the educational ana social conditions
of the people In the various states who
possessing ample power to make their
own labor laws. have not seen fit to
restrict child labor TO the extent
thought desirable BY philanthropists
No doubt the employment Of children
of tender years in factories is to be
deplored, and it is to be hoped that it
will be efectuaIy prevented before
long I'm every state IN the Union, but
the attempt to enforce what is practi-
cally a federal police regulation in the
states, under cover of regulating in

consideration before It is adopted

DECADENcE or CONVERSATION.

IN olden times the art of CONVERSE
tion reached a much higher standard
than today. because Of the complete
revolution that has taken place in the
conditions Of civilization. Formerly
people had almost no other way Of
communicating their thoughts. Knowl-
edge Of all kinds passed almost wholly
through the spoken work. There
We're no great daily newspapers, no
magazines or periodicals Of any kind.
People were not in 50 much Of a hurry
as they are today. The great dis
coveries Of vast wealth in the precious
minerals, the new world opened up BY
inventions and discoveries. and the
great impetus 10 ambition have chang
ca all this III this lightning express
age, In these strenuous times when
everybody has the mania to attain
wealth and position. we no longer have
time TO reflect with elaboration. and
to develop our powers Of conversation.
In these great newspaper and periodi-
cal days. when everybody can get for
one or few cents the news and infor-
nation which it has cost thousands Of
dollars to collect. everybody sits be
hind the morning sheet or is buried in
book or magazine. There is no
longer the same need Of communicate
ing thought by the spoken word

When woman is willing to tell the

A woman hates to argue SO much
that she never does it without arguing
that she isn't.

We learn that strong pressure
is being brought to bear upon Mr.
A. J. Brinker, of Graham Station,
to allow the use of his name before
the Democratic County Conven-
ton for Commission. If this be
true the Register is highly in favor
of such move and earnestly hope
MIR. Brinker will feel it his duty
to acquissce in the wishes of the
people and become candidate. We
have been personally acquainted
with him for many years and always
found him a pleasant, straight
forward, intelligent gentleman. He
is a man of good judgment. is con-
versant with public affairs, and is
noted for his high business quail
fcations. just such men as Mr..
Brinker is the crying need of every
citizen of Mason county to repre-
sent them in the councils of our
County Court. Again We say, We
hope Mr.. Brinker will forego any
scruples he may have about enter
ing a political campaign and allow
his friends the use of his name.
