Payne tariff bill and states that all

Root in his visit to the Latin-Ameri-
can republics is imperilled. Surely il

superfuous coffee erop-that is, burn

out Of the difficulty Of the heavy duty
on the raw bean is to manufacture
her raw material as the duty is to be
lightest on manufactured goods.

FRANCE VS.. BRITAIN.

In anaiyzing the French political
capacity, J. NJ. ShotweIl, in the
March issue OF the Political Science
Monthly. points out that the French
republic has a more consistent rec
ord of logically developed reform
than the Britons. He declares that
modeartes have held control and
there has been no oscillation between
extreme radicalism and extreme con-
servatism. nor has its policy been a
choice between opposite conditions.
This is state of affairs that speaks
well for the self-control of the French
voter, and reveals a progressive pol
icy. II may be noted that Americans
are becoming less and less inclined
to the somersault change of admins
tration, and more content to elimi-
nate personality while perpetuating
a policy.-Ex.

CHILD LABOR.

1t looks very much as if the South,
so long reproached for the conditions
Of child labor, were about to enact
uniform legislation. The conference
in New Orleans just closed has been
notable for the amount Of data an
alyzed in the effort to get at what
would be a model law. Various points
Of view were presented. but James w.
Van Cleave, president of the National
Association Of Manufacturers, was re-
sponsible for the assertion that the
minimum age for the employment of
children should be IA years, because,
looking at it economically, child labor
was not in reality profitable labor to
the manufacturer. II is well that this
view can be taken, and on that
ground, for there is, Of course, the
other view that the factory labor is
not profitable to the child. The new
variant of modern thinkers on the
old saying, boys will be boys" is
boys will be men," When the South
considers her future she has to re-
that.

Rhy it is the best Of personal and family
