A Chudreu.s Bill of Rights.


An aci uf parliament which went
into fore" April I is truly a bill Of
rights for children in England. It
places safeguards around the health,
the morals and the privileges Of chill
dren. 1t provides fer stricter preven-
ton Of tru"lt, to children and even
goes into the home to punish that
form Of parental neglect which often
leads to cruelty. as in the ease recent
~ exposed in New York, where a child
vas left "a the root to perish in the
storm. Severe penalties are imposed
on the mother who leaves a child un-
der sever years Of age alone in q room
where there Is an open fire.
U.l.Gcr this law children may not
pawn articles, enter barrooms. buy
cigarettes nor beg, nor live in evil sur
roundings. Migrants must not permit
children to wander about with them.
and Juvenile Offenders are to have spe-
cial courts and special treatment dur
inc detention. The enactment of this
law is a new departure in applying the
theory of the state as the guardian of
the child. Some of the provisions of
the Law are in force in several states
in this country, but there is as yet
no general statute equaling it as a
charter of children's rights.

Our Philippine Problem.

Our record, III dealing with CUBA
shows that 1t IS idle to say that the
stars and stripes must never be lower
ed. 4 flag should stand for q principle
and not he Il fetch. The flag was
planted in the Philippines for a signal
that the Infamous Spanish sway In
those isi,nds must end. 1t may have
been sad business for us. but to haul
down the flag before the abolition Of
misrule there would be shameful bust
ness.
The apparent Indifference Of the
American people rs to Philippine af-
fairs probably does not mean that
they are tired and don't care either
way. The flag Is there. and the reason
for putting It there originally still
holds. Gradually the public has learned
to consider the Philippines an Ameri-
can possession. But when the flag
shall he hauled down because there IA
no longer 81 n American burden to be
borne in that quarter. no longer q
mission to be sheltered under the
American symbol. the stars aud
stripes can retire to the mainland with
honor. GEORGE l.. KILMER.

Unless the peace advocates Aave cut.
ttvated a spirit Of aggressivenesst the
last two years the second nationals COM
gress will not be likely to insist on

w. II. Stead, who poses as the world
apostle Of peace, warned the Ameri-
can crowd that peace people must get
v e being 80 horribly peaceful. or
the war people would continue to have
things all their own way. The slogan
Of the militarists, I'VE mean to have
peace if we have to fight for IT," would
be chcered in the average peace con
ference: Yet the peace people them
selves use in their propaganda only
Quaker arguments.
Arbitration congresses have a def
mite program and perhaps accomplish
more than the peace congresses. Over
eighty International treaties Of arbi-
tration are 10Y in force. \ perma-
nent international tribunal has been
established at The Hague, and an ar
bitral court was agreed upon at the
conference Of 1907. which followed
close upon the national peace congress
held in New York. A regular world
peace congress. universal arbitration,
gradual disarmament and an interna-

which the peace propagandists hold to

rest provokes war, and perhaps the
patience of the peace men is. after all,
the best asset Of the cause.

cxp.da's Old Age Ann,.tts

A recent act of the Dominion par-
lament indicates that our neighbour on
the north is looking ahead aud prepar-
ing to meet the grave industrial prob
lems OF the future. England has pen
stoned old age. bnt some Of the great
est economists of the nation hold that
this necessity could have been avoided
by following the plan Of other coun-
tries IN establishing old & annuities
at the expense of .workingmen and
employers.
The system which the new law will
inaugurate in Canada is calculated to
encourage thrift. the same as the post
nj savings banks. Through a govern
lnent bureau old age annuities viii be
sold to worklngmen, and the annual
cost Of running the bureau will be the
extent of the governments financial
risk. Workingmen may begin at any
age to pay into the bureau a small sum
weekly and provide for an annuity of
from $50 to 1926 out Of their own saw
ings. There are liberal rules for re-
newals when payments lapse aud for
paying the accumulations to heirs III
case of death. Employers may con
tract for %annuities for employees, and
benevolent societies may provide in
this way for their members. There is no
compulsion in the law. but public opin-
ion will in time no doubt heartily en-
courage this form Of old age insurance.
