You have seen many columns in newspapers devoted
to such subjects Should young peel onions
in the parlor? and "Can couple be happy on $13 a
week?'
Here is new question Perhaps it is entitled to some
attention 1t Isl
Should girl years old be supplied with stool if
she is made to work all night in facory
The first impulse is to answer: ''Why, she shouldn't
be allowed to work at night at ALL But it isn't what
should be- but what is that is under discussion There
several thousands of little white girls in southern
states of that age hereabous who doing that very
thing They work from in the evening until in the
morning That is II hours.
All that time they stand their feet. They have
chairs benches stools and not allowed to sit the
floor They work in the spinning of the cotton
mills Their work is to watch the spinning machines If
thread breaks, surplus cotton begins to clog the
wooden roller which it moves the girl mends the
thread, cleans the roller All night the little girl walks
up and down between double of machines, 'mind-
ing two Sides, they say. At o'clock in the morning
the whistle blows and the girl goes home She eats lit
tie and then drops into bed The next night it is the
round over again.
These girls do not go to school. They cannot read
write
Now congress started to deal with this proposition
But there only talk A commission to ''nvestgate
authorized. And that many months ago.
They say that congress cannot deal with this mat
ter is unconstitutional because the state ought to look
after its citizens.
But if North Carolina and South Carolina do not pro-
tect their little girls; if Georgia permits children to be
worked II hours day when they ought to be going to
school, if Kentucky and Virginia and West Virginia and
Pennsylvania grind the seed corn of their citizenship
is there no help?
Admitting that the federal government has not the
power to the states to NEEDLE in their internal
administration, is there not something the federal gov
eminent could do? Why not turn the light? What is
to prevent the federal government creating department
at Washington to hold up to public view these evil prac
tices--a department which would act like continuous
search light and which would show to the whole world
this picture of the child of working II hours every night
at the spinning frame? If this picture of the shame of
the states flashed the every day and every
month and every year long it lasted, there might
be public sentiment which would force the state to let
the child go.
Certainly there is remedy in this wonderful country
of for evil which saps the roots of citizenship
The child labor evil than local issue; concerns
the whole nation-every citizens of the nation
Will congress adjourn without considering this sub
iect?

HOW STRANGE

1t is certainly surprising to note
the number of substantial farmers
who pay little or no attention to-

fine, fertile fields, that are gener.

while the yard about the home is

be considered sloyenly and thrifty,
tasty neighbors would look for a
different neighborhood. As an
example of twentieth century
farming we call your attention to
what is known for miles around
as Pennsylvania avenue, between
this city and Morrill,, Kans. We're

those things that will cash in at

you ride through country where
the hedge on every farm is
trimmed to a uniform height and
the farmers unite in plying the

then drift into a neighborhood
where these things were never
