A NATIONAL SIN


HHE churches, have been asked to
observe next Sunday with special
u reference to child labor. Monday,
January u. will be Child Labor day,
to be celebrated" throughout the
United States-a sorry Celebration"
Observant people will notice that Child
Labor day comes between the Burns
birthday celebration and Washington's
birth day celebration. In the land of
freedom, between the commemoration
of the life and achievements of the
inspired bard who sang "a Man Is a
Man for a. That" and the commemora-
ton of the life and achievements of
the inspired statesman who risked his
life and his liberty in order that he
might bring life, liberty and the I'M
tralnmeled pursuit of happiness to the
masses of his fellow countrymen.
comes the commemoratfon or celebra-
tion-or what shall it be called ?--of n
national evil that is worse than negro
slavery, because it strikes more di-
rectly at the heart of the national life.
Not long ago Mrs. Rebecca Spring,
one Of the pioneers of negro emancipa-
ton, said to a friend: II have lived
so long that 1 have been forced to
change some of my views. I am not
certain that the condition of the low
negro Of the south has been improved
by freedom. He still needs education
and is as far away from it as ever. 1
am certain that child slavery, which
appears to be q necessity of modern
American civilization, is but sorry
substitute for negro slavery, which
for many generations was believed to
be a necessity of old American ciyili-
cation"
The fact is that sheer greed. the de-
sire for something for nothing, was re-
sponsible to a great extent for the in
PRODUCTION of slavery into the British
colonies; and that the selfsame cause
sheer greed, the desire of something
for nothing, is responsible to a great
extent for child labor in the Ameri-
can United States.
The true method of attacking child
labor would be to return to the first
principles of Americanism, to insist
upon q literal Interpretation of the
pledges made by the fathers in the
earlier stages Of this country's his
tary and during the various crises that
have marked the subsequent evolution
airy periods. In the light Of the first
principles of Americanism, child labor
is a hideous inconsistency. 1t flouts
the flag and mocks freedom. 1t is an
injury to the child and an injury to
the adult whom he displaces. 1t is
the labor and him who takes It, 1t is
an affront to ethics, a blotch upon
morals, economically a falsehood.
politically an outrage, nationally sin.

JUVENILE CRIMINALS

T DIR burglars, a highway robber
and a forger will be sentenced TINS
"A week. We are SO accustomed TO
our local Newgate calendar-the mo-
notonous daily chronicle of hold-ups'
robberies and assassinations-that the
announcement that a half dozen
criminals are to be "sent up" does not
arouse the famtest emotion of surprise
and wonder uEti. we learn the awful
truth. Each one of these mastery
rogues, the burglars, the highway rob.
Der and the forger, is a boy, an Amerl-
can boy, one oe "our boys"
The precocity in crime which charac-
terizes this age is the greatest problem
that we have to solve. At the recent
meeting of the teachers institute and
Southern California Teachers associa-
tion one of the speakers said that the
number OF children who are imperfect
physically constituted such a big per-
centage of the total juvenile population
that this aspect of sociology might well
take precedence of fiscal and purely po-
.itical quest OILS in the attention of the
leaders of the nation. Physical imper-
lection Is not necessarily expressed in
blindness, Iameness. deafness or dumb
ness. It may take the form of such a
trifing variation from the standards
that to the layman it is imperceptible,
not worth bothering about. When it
comes home to the layman that
the criminaly distorted mentalities
of the boy burglar, the boy high
way robbie and the boy forger
may be the result of organic physical
;nperfections so slight and so subtle
that they are mot worth bothering
about we. will change all that. A
clean, sane, healthy mind in clean,
sane, healthy body is essential to sue
cessful Americanism. Without this con-
dition our national life is narrowed,
our liberty is incomplete, and our pur-
suit Of happiness is the chase Of a
mocking mirage.

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN

THE Japanese have decided that it
is not worth while to risk the loss
II of British friendship by insisting
upon the divine right of the milado's
subjects to swarm into Canada and
settle anywhere they will.
The Japanese government will reg
ulate the oriental emigration to Cam
adian ports, and while they are about
it will no doubt also accept the situa-
ton as far as the greater American
power is concerned and defer to the
right of the people of the United States
to regulate immigration to the United
States ports. If our government regu-
lates immigration and the Japanese
government regulates emigration
there won't be much left TO quarrel
about. If Japan should now manifest
an aggressive, revengeful, bellicose or
malicious spirit toward the United
States, she will become the laughing
stock of white civilization, and as a

LEAP YEAR"

m HE origin of leap year" is merged
in the mists of antiquity some-
a where between the Theban annals
ology, but the force and snap of the
motive underlying the year has grown
each recurring quadrennium, till woman
majestically usurps the privileges of
the male sex, and mamie stands from
under.
Chief in the list of prerogatives con-
ferred on woman by the customs of the
year is that of proposing marriage to
her chosen man, and she has royal pre-
cedent for the act Queen Victoria, in
her recently published memoirs, is
made to dilate on the subject of her
proposal to her future king-consort, and
every queen, of cabinets or kitchens,
may follow suit if sh5 will.
Bachelors in all orders of life, from
bees to men, are hindrances to the des-
tiny of their respective races, and kill
ing the former and taxing the latter
have failed to mend matters. 1t is
therefore a real blessing that conven-
tional usages can be abolished and the
county Cupid made busy. There are
5000 eligible widows and maids in Los
Angeles to mate among 10000 men who
sew their own buttons on and darn
their own socks in vehement phrase,
and no man may measure the endless
good to come from this years work of
the aforesaid widows and maids.
The ice cream with two spoons, the
Indian" built for two, the very small
"chug" wagon and the moonlight stroll
are fraught with danger to unsuspect-
ing and bashful men, and the hello"
girls will be astounded from time to
time at the creamy responses where,
erstwhile, Jaw, go chase yerself," or
"Get off the EARTH" were the limit of
conversational power.
Anxious fathers and distraught moth
ers may take on new life, and the par
son-especially the country article-will
be able to pay off the troublesome mort
gage.
The vim and dash of the Los Angeles
contingent of the sweet sisterhood are
'pow'fully' compelling. and the county
recorder is in for ten extra clerks.
Uninhabited and ia" flung bungalows
will spring into new life as nests of
domestic graces and peace in conse-
quence. and Theodore Roosevelt will be
so elated at this wondrous proof of the
popularity of one of his pet policies
that he will leave the presidential chair
with real regret.
Maidens and widows are hereby re-
minded that leap year cannot favor
them again till 1912 at which time the
bloom is likely to be gone from them,
and the man in the case be as bald as
the plaster cast of a corpse In the
vernacular. Go to it," Remember the
valiant queen of Great Britain and en-
press of India, and yank your victim
while the sun shines-he may grow des-
perate and join the Jonathan club il
you do not act as once.

time and the irritation at the obstacle

This was not that Germany believed
the United States fleets to be superior

Germany saw that the United States

she could afford to send away from
European waters on an errand of eX-

the horse play that sailors are addicted
