fragettes the advocates of humanitarian egisa-
tion for children are not in the least dsmayed.
The movement for the eradication Of child la
Dor is but part of the general interest main
tanned in the rising generation. We care for
children in schools educate them and if possi-
bic we should keep them from working in the
mills and factories The fact that children do
labor while adults remain idle, is travesty on
our civilization evil thing that shows some
thing wrong in our economic system. And il is
the system that is responsible for child labor
The evils of child labor can be eradicated only
by legislation. The most humane man may en-
gage in manufacturing but if his competitors use
child labor he is forced to do likewise or TO go out
of business In most Of the Northern States
there are laws regulating child labor that have
accomplished much good but even these laws are
not what they should be.
When the laws became rigid in the New Eng
land manufacturing states, many capitalists
sought sites in the South on the ground that la
Dor was cheaper and children could be exploited
For a while child labor may be permitted 10
flourish in the South, but il will not be employed
indefinitely AS manufacturing increases in the
South the unions will get a grip on that nart Of
the country and they will begin an agitation for
laws regulating the work of children. They will
be supported by the humanitarian spirit that
must develop and the desirable legislation will be
thus brought about 1t was this sort of agitation
that led to the abolishng Of the convict labor sys
TEN in Georgia system cruel and barbarolT that
existed for years.
Delaware will be well represented at the con-
vention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Asso-
ciation to be held in Baltimore the latter part of
this month Former Senator Higgins has been
selected as spokesman for the delegation and as
Mr., Higgins is thoroughly versed on the subject
the views OF the Deawareans will be ably pre-
sented.

TAFT. THE BIG FIGURE.

M r. TAFT will have no regrets for the cam
4 = paign that he has conducted. Unfamiliar
with the practical methods of campaigning, Mr.
Taft was plunged into kind of conflict new to
him. He had been removed in his career from the
active participation in politics, having devoted
himself to his duties as a Judge ani as an officer
OF administration But Mr.. Taft Jumped into the
political contest and as campaign orator has
made most oreditablc showing. His record on
the stump comprises forty,one days in which he
made AIS speeches
Mr.. Taft has conducted his campaign upon a
high plane He has not even resortei 10 the arts
of the adroit spellbinder His speeches have been
plain statements OF facts. He has believed that
the electorate of this country is intelligent and
contentious and he has made his appeal upon that
ground He has made profound impression
upon the country and his victory which now
seems assured will show that the people have
<aken him at his word ana rested their confidence
In him.

CHILD LABOR LAWS.

view OF lne CdnpdlSn
Nationally, the personality of the candidates
has entered largely into the contest. The final
questions is whether Judge Taft or Mr. Bryan is
more suitable for President-whether the affairs
OF the country will be better administered with
Mr.. Taft at the helm than with Mr. Bryan ,as
President
Mr.. Taft has shown himself to be broad and
high-minded and progressive. He has declared
that the work for the uplifting of conditions be-
gun by President Roosevelt will be continued
that there will be no backward step.
The Republican party has stood for the for
ward move. it is the party that has actually ac-
tually accomplished things.
The Republican party OF Delaware is as we
have said, part of that national party. it has
given Delaware progressive and good admins
tration. 1t has brought about change in senti-
mcnt here SO that the ballot is free and on
tramelled.
In this campaign it confronts the Democrats
who are under the control Of the old reactionary
element of the party. The convention OF the
Democrats was controlled by the forces whose
administration of the affairs OF the State was
marked by a bitter feeling between citizens
Democratic rule brought about such a deplorabie
condition that the party voted out of power
The old tax collection and assessment laws were
typical of the Democrats spirit in those days
The same spirit exists today 1t may be sup
pressed for effect but it would crop out, il given
the opportunity

voters who have given the Republican party con-
troll in the past il seems to THE JOURNAL,
must undoubtedly vote the Republican ticket as

QUESTION OF MAJoRIT1Es.

a MONG the state chairmen of the Repub-
cans throughout the country there is lit
tie expectation that the majorities for Taft will
equal those for Roosevelt four years ago.
National Chairman Hitchcock yesterday gave
out reports telling of the situation according to
the views of the state charmen and some of them
very interesting. Mr. Roosevelt, four years
ago, received majorities over Judge Parker that
were phenomenal and almost unbelievable and il
would be an abnormal situation were they dupli-
Gated today. For example, in Pennsylvania. the
most rock ribbed Republican State in the nation,
the majority for Mr. Roosevelt was half a mil
lion. The state chairman this wear does not place
his claim at more than half those figures. but he
would not be surprised if the majority were much
larger than his estimate.
State Chairman Murphy of New Jersey, pre-
diets the Republican majority as about half OF
that OF four years ago. In Indiana, the Roosevelt
majority was almost 100000, and Mr. New. the
Republican State Chairman, this year makes a
prediction of 10000 for Taft although that State
has been considered doubtful.
In Nebraska. the home State OF Mr.. Bryan the
majority for Roosevelt over Parker, was nearly
oo,ooo while Mr.. Rosewater. the Republican Ma
tonal Committeeman from Nebraska, claims the
State for Taft this year by 10000.
The Democratic party four years ago was in a
state OF collapse as the foregoing figures which
are but sample OF many other States show.
Thousands of Democrats four years ago. voted
for Roosevelt and other thousands stayed at home.
The figures show what tremendous landslide
these must be If Mr. Bryan is to win today. ac-
cording to reports there no indications of the
landslide. The tale, however, will soon be told,
and there is not much use OF speculating.
