the constitution surrounds the re-

dent Roosevelt desires To do, and
partisan congress can at any time
throw the south into confusion by
Legislation disturbing the present

The presidents ardent crusade
for federal control over child labor
has been directed mainly against
Georgia and one or two ether cotton
manufacturing states Of the south
whose child-labor laws are not so
well advanced as those Of older man
ufacturing communities
President Roosevelts re-dectaon
would surely be followed by the en-
actment by congress of the law eN-
Guiding from interstate commerce
the products of child labor. and this
would be followed by the swarming
OF federal inspectors in every fac |
tory OF Georgia, the Carolinas, Nir- |
ginia. Alabama and Missouri No |
southern state wants this. and while !
the south retains the high order of |
political sense for which it has al |
ways been noted, no southern state
is going to vote for it.
But why should President Roose
Welt be so eager TO break the solid
south that he would be willing to
violate pledge repeatedly given in
! order To accomplish it, The south
has prospered Well in it's democratic
soidity. 1t is today prospecting more
Iabundanuy than it ever did before.
Under democratic rule the affairs of
every southern state are administer
ed with economy, wisdom and fidel-
ity.
Why should the south give up the
certainty of safety and prosperity
which il has enjoyed through adhe-
sion to democracy in order TO try
fantastic experiments with the re-
publican party, which has never been
friendly to the south?
In the south Mr.. Roosevelt finds
the most inveterate opposition to his
peculiar views with respect to the
| relations between the state and fed
| eral governments Maybe it is for
| this that he is anxious TO break the
| solid south But if his acceptance
of third term nomination depends
upon the assurance that he can do
/ this, the nomination will not be &C
