CarmncI, Asks a Question.


Il would like to have the Senator tell
me what the next Republican standard
bearer thinks Of it?" suggested Mr.. Car
mack, Of Tennessee.
There are many things you and I
want TO know, which I am not going TO
tell YOU. replied Mr.. Beverdge
Mr.. Beverage was questioned closely
by Mr.. Knox and Mr.. Aldrich. as well rs
by Mr.. Overmau. Mr.. Bacon asked leave
10 correct a statement made by A!r.
BeveTidge yesterday, that there had been
5000 applications for permits to employ
children I'm Georgia since the new statute
against child labor went into effect. He
read two kilograms from State officials,
who issue permits, showing that there had
been only ten applications since January J.
NIr. SpOOncr thought that if Congress
had the power TO exclude child-labor
goods from interstate commerce, it could
also exclude nonunion goods. or those
not manufactured in obedience to an eight
hour law. Mr.. Perkins iocularIy INQUIRED
whether Congress could not pass a law

years OF age2
MIR. BeyeridEe's Conclusions.
In concluding his speech. Mr.. Beveridee
said:
have shown: First That the evil exists: that
certainly hundreds Of thousands and more. prob
ably over one million, children are even now either
bciUe Killed or utterly destroyed Ger that citizenship
on which this free nation alone depends
Second. That the states cannot remedy this evil:
and even If they could would not do so through
ont the whole republic for a generation.
Third. That The evil be stopped only bv
national remedy and that tins is right because 1t is
d national evil.
Fourth. That this national remedy can be an
piled without raising the disputed question Of states
rights. by in7oars the absolute power Of Conzres5
over interstate commerce.
Fifth That over such commerce the power Of Con
gress is unlimited and involves the power to pro-
hbit the transportation Of any articles which Con
gress deems il wise to prohibit. this having been
repeatedly and expressly decided b. the supreme
Court
Sixth That in the exercise Of this power Con
Eess has passed large number of laws p-o-
hihiting interstate commerce in various articles
seventh. That the possible abuse Of such power
is no argument against It's existence and that the
remedy for such an abuse is in the hands Of the
people at the ballot box.
Two Bills Passed.
During the afternoon the Senate with
out question, adopted the committee
amendment to the diplomatic and con
sular bill. which takes from the Presi-
dent the power to raise the rank Of

ments.

Of the coloniSts had been educated
The name still clings to the place
where the university is located. but
the institution itself has been known
since its very opening by the name Of
Harvard, for it was the young minis
ter, the Rev. John Harvard, who, dying
at CharlestoWn in 1898 and leaving
about $1,000 and his library to the
institution, then in the process Of
formation, became its real founder
Appropriately enough, when the col
lege was opened shortly after his death
it was decided that it should bear his
name. The present year marks the
two hundred and SEVENTEEN anniyer
sary of the erection of the first college
building The first president, the Rev
Henry Dunster, was chosen in 1910
and the first class, consisting of nine
members, vas graduated in 1912.
The associations of the time have
directed attention to the facts con

American colonies, and interest has
been aroused in the subject not only
among Harvard students and alumni
but among students of American his
