CHILD LABOR

n EYOND a doubt the expressed
II wish of the Woman's Parliament
n of Southern California to have a
department of children and home es-
tablished in connection with the ma
tional government will be indorsed by
all citizens who hear the children Gerry
ing ere the sorrow comes with years"
But a department of children and
home al Washington will be utterly
ineffective, will be as hollow a mock
cry as the Republican protests against
child labor, unless along with this de-
regulate some of the social conditions
which cause child labor. The estab-
lishment of a department of children
and home will be an acknowledgment
that child labor and kindred evils are
chronic in the United States. We cam
not believe that. We think they will
be remedieG. We hope that under
Democratic administration the nation
and every state in the nation will fall
in line and that it will soon be a states
prison offense to hire child slaves to
take the place of adult workers. We
believe that child slavery, like negro
slavery. will soon be OUTLAWED. We
believe also that the government will
see that it is its duty to make strong
recommendations to all employers of
labor to recognize the economic condi-
tions of the United States and to dis
burse as much as possible of the capi-
tai invested in labor, at the proper dis
tributing centers-that is to say, to
employ fathers oe families and young
men who intend TO marry and support
and bring up families and pay these
heads of households wages which will
enable them to do their duty to their
country.
From the pitiful squealings that GER
tain rat-souled controllers of industry
make over the wages they must pay,
one would think that every penny of
the wage money was begrudged. And
in some caser that is the truth. In
some cases it is begrudged. Too often,
wage paying is treated as an abstract
economic proposition, matter of
profit and loss, instead of a vital prin-
ciple closely associated with the well
fare and the continued life and pros
perity of the United States. Individual

ROOSEVELT, DEMOCRAT

WY ITI the native shrewdness and
w the trained accuracy of obser-
walton for which he is noted,
Judge Frank H. Dunno of the superior
court of San Francisco made the fol-
lowing remark: president Roosevelt
has won popular approval, but as a
Democrat. l should like to call atten-
tion to the fact that the policy he
is pursuing is in the main one which
the Democratic party has been advo-
eating for years. He is proceeding
against a system which has caused a
great deal of discomfort in the United
States and is doing his best to break
it up. 1t is a system that has enabled
comparatively few men to get rich at
the expense of the mass of the people"
Readers of The Herald are familiar
with the views of Judge Dunno, for
they are those which have been ex-
pressed repeatedly in these columns.
Mr.. Roosevelt is a Republican presi-
dent who has achieved personal sue
cess by studying, adopting and recon-
mending Democratic policies. At the
election the country will restore con-
sistency to national politics and make
certain the perpetuation of the Demo-
cratic policies, the merits of which
have captivated President Roosevelt
by electing a Democrat. familiar with
Democratic principles, and able to put
them into effect. His name will be
William Jennings Bryan.

called Theodore Roosevelt to the lead
ership of the moral sentiment of the
country" The plain English of this is
that If it had not been for the timely
interference OF President Roosevelt
with his Democratic policies the Repub-
licans would have wrecked the United
States. 1t is a good thing to remember
this, and to keep on remembering it,
especially when you think of the possi-
bility of a Republican administration
WITHOUT the restraining Democratic
influences of Roosevelt. If the country
wishes to find its last state worse than
it's first, let it give unchecked, unbridled
power to the Republican party by elect
ing a president who will take orders
from it, In order to be on the safe side
the country MUST have a Democratic
president. This is the good, hard, sound
common sense of the situation.
