CHILD LABOR

n LAIN speaking was distinguish
ing feature Of the conference of
Il Charities and Corrections. A well
known rabbi united with one of the
secretaries of the national child labor
committee in telling the truth about
conditions as they are, calling to mind
Grover Cleveland's famous saying: "It
is a condition, not a theory, that con-
fronts us"
The rabbi said social justice is need
ed and not free libraries, taking the
sensible view that If there was social
justice there would be plenty Of libra
ries. Indeed, under conditions which
would recognize reading matter as a
necessity of life, libraries would be-
come as common as grocery stores.
Secretary McKelway called attention
to the prevalence of child labor, which,
he said, was becoming more common.
1t is easy for interested persons to SAY
child labor is being abolished in the
United States. but facts and statis-
tics and the faithful camera, WHICH
REFUSES TO CONCEAL THE AGE
OF A CHILD AT WORK, show the
claim is not true. Secretary Nickel
way said hundreds Of children had
been photographed at work in the
cotton mills WITHIN THE LAST
YEAR, and thousands more who were
not photographed are working ten to
twelve hours day or NIGHT. Some
Of the boys and girls work all day.
OTHERS WORK ALL NIGHT.
After giving enough instances to
prove thoroughly the truth of the
statement child labor is not being
abolished in the United States, Mr..
McKelway declared: THERE IS NO
POSSIBLE EXCUSE FOR SUCH
WHOLESALE ABUSE OF CHILD
HOOD" and in summing up present
industrial and social tendencies Of
which child labor is the most startling
and most noteworthy sign, he said:
1.-THE American intelligence appreciates
the evils of the system in racial de-
generacy, perpetual poverty, growth of
illiteracy the disintegration of the
family, the increase of crime, the low
ering of the wage scale and the SWELL
| ing army of the unemployed"

REST FOR BARRIERS

TOURNEYMEN BARRIERS of Los An
geIes are anxious to have Sunday
- closing of BARRIERS shops made an
established custom in this city, and as
it seems to be impossible to persuade
proprietors of big shops, where two
shifts of men can be worked, to act in
harmony with the humber proprietors,
who do most of their own work, the
BARRIERS have asked the city council to
pass an ordinance under which all bar
bers' shops shall be treated alike-all
closed on Sundays-and all the BARRIERS
have a square deal.
Working BARRIERS have strenuous
day on Saturday. and certainly earn a
Sunday rest. When many other toilers
are enjoying a Saturday half holiday,
the BARRIERS are working harder than
ever. Somehow nobody ever stops to
think of the barber. When we compel
BARRIERS to work for us on days when we
do not work, we are encouraging a
system which on close inspection looks
too much like slavery to appeal favor
ably to any enlightened American. The
public can help the BARRIERS by getting
shaved Saturday. and giving their faces
and the BARRIERS razors rest on Sun
day. The city council should pass the
Sunday closing ordinance.

AMERICANISM

WE congratulate George Harvey Of

w mencement day address at the
University of Kansas. 1t was a good
example of what an American address
should be, and we hail it as happy
sign the people of this country are be-
ginning to emerge from their temporary
dementia Americana of perfervid and
frequently unreasonable money making,
and are again recognizing the perpetual
vitality and everlasting life of the first
principles which made this nation great,
and would make any nation great that
would adopt them and live up to them.
Many national lives may be described
as revolutionary, but the national life of
the United States is all the result of
obedience or disobedience of the laws of
living and ethics adopted as the rule of
national conduct when the star spangled
banner first waved in triumph.
Brother Harvey said: IF tomorrow
this nation should be obliterated, If the
earth itself should be destroyed, the

gress shall make no law respecting an

Theoretically to prevent the success
of attempts to subvert the equality of

has been perverted to opposite results.
They have substituted privilege for

Privilege and poverty are inseparable
in society AS one increases or dimin-

1t is by abolishing. privilege. The lat

subject of grave complaint If it were
not accompanied by a greater and
Eraver loss OF human life and eff

The human workpower of the United

always a serious impairment of eff

By the end of a week public senti-

GREATER LOS ANGELES

nN THE completion of the Panama
canal there will be a great addi-
~ ton to the worlds volume of
trade and commerce. Ships of all ma
lions will use 1t, and it is hoped the
United States will be well represented
in the great bioceanic mercantile
navy. In looking forward, the neces-
sity for arousing public attention to
the Importance of interesting the gov
eminent in maritime and mercantile
conditions on the Pacific becomes ap-
parent.
1t is highly desirable a federal
steamship line should be established
on the Pacific, which even before the
completion of the great canal may be
connected with the government line
on the Atlantic by a transisthmian
railroad. This will afford a great re-
lief to the merchants, manufacturers
and fruit growers of the Pacific coast,
and will also give the nucleus for the
big mercantile fleet that will be need
ed to carry freight and passengers on
both oceans, and from ocean to ocean,
when the canal is completed. At the
present time there is not a single
American ship to go through the
canal. There are a few transatlantic
ships with a moderate mail compensa-
ton, but none that would use the
canal.
Therefore, unless America becomes
thoroughly reused on this important
question the canal may give Germany
and Britain for their great merchant
marine and for the extension of their
trade greater facilities than 1t
gives the United States. The
passage of bill like that
which was under consideration
in the last congress and was advo-
Gated by President Taft, providing for
sufficient postal compensation to es-
tablish a swift and regular service in
American steamships to the principal
countries of South America and to
the ports of Australasia, Japan, China
and the Philippines, would give Great
err Los Angeles an opportunity of be-
coming the Pacific port of call for
this great new AHleilCdl iiiiS' "AfN ~
all the other lines which would be at
tracted by it.
Now, it is of overwhelming import
ance that when this matter of I'M
proved Pacific steamship service
DOES come up, Greater Los Angeles
should be ready for business-that this
great center of population, wealth and
industry should be able to say, TN
cluded in the finest metropolitan area
in the west is THE FINEST AAR-
Dor IN THE WEST" The establish
ment of Greater Los Angeles is pat
riotic duty. CONSOLIDATION is not a
matter Of rhetoric. 1T is A NECES-
sITY. Every good citizen will vote
for Greater Los Angeles.

bachelors" selfishness.
He has deprived some good woman
of a home. In an attitude OF pity
they allow the noble old maid to es
cape-but why?
The man, single in most instances,
because he did not win the exact wo-
man he could willingly make sacri-
fees for, is selfish. The woman, still
unmarried because she would not sac
rifice natures ideals to become the
wife of John or Larry, big, good ma
tured fellows who would have died for
her, is selfish. A man has broad fields
to select. from, true. :
Yet a woman usually casts aside
chances enough to bring at least three
divorces into this span of life.

rather let us contrive some plan to
abate that greater evil of the present

andl: Force causes all change. Neces-
sity forced humanity into the present
state Of seperate factions or classes,
and it will also force us into a har-
monious, universal while. Prohibitory
laws are of no avail; it's against the
natural law that gives individual free
dom, and to suppress freedom creates
vice, criminality or bloodshed. De-
mand means supply. Frame a law
against the manufacture of supplies
and the law will be evaded. We must
first do away with demand. Can we
do it? %
When the topper fails to get the
favorite beverage he will use a sub
stitute. l have known some to use
patent medicine, lemon extract or alco-
hol diluted in water. Fermented liquor
is used by the most noted doctors of the
country for medical compounds and is
given as a stimulant to patients with
feeble circulation. When man is phys
ically exhausted by strenuous labor in
mines and mills it leads to artificial
restoration through stimulants, which
often leads to habitual intoXication.
The persons who know not their capac-
ity, or who have lost self-control, should
not indulge. But moderation Is the
word. The law says: Take all things
with moderation"
On poverty hangs fatality. Poverty
drives us into mental tasks which re-
quires physical exertion, where wages,
as a rule, are inadequate to supply the
necessities of life for a small family,
What is the result? Our children are
taken from playground and school, de-
prived of education, natural recreation
and all that helps to transform a child
into an intelligent law-abiding citizen,
and placed in factories to undergo a
life of drudgery in order to obtain
scant subsistence. Poverty forces us
into beggary, robbery, insanity, de-
bauchery or suicides grave. And the
responsibility rests on us-a Christian
people of the civilized world.
