NO INVASION OF THE
PRIVATE HOME is ALLOWED

Sentinel Special Service.
Washington. Feb. 2.-After amend
ing the child labor bill so as to pro-
hibit the invasion OF private resi-
dences in quest OF information, that
measure was passed today, 81 to 20.
The negative vote was cast by Sena-
tors Bailey, Bryan, Chiffon, Culber-
son, O'Gorman, Overman, Paynter,
Smith (MdJ, Stone, Thorton, Till
man and Watson, Democrats. and by
senators Burnham, Clark CWyoD,
Gallinger, Hepburn, Nixon, Oliver,
Wetmore and Works, Republican.
The bin authorizes the creation OF
a bureau in the department of COM
merCe and labor for the collection OF
information pertaining to the welfare
OF children and child life.
Special authority is given to inves-
tgate questions OF infant mortality
the birth rate, orphanage, juvenile
courts, desertion, diseases, accident,
occupations, legislations and kindred
Cubiects. The provision expressly
torbidding the invasion of domestic
privacy was raised by Senator Thorn
ton OF Louisiana, who inveighed in
strong language against the right OF
the United States officials to enter
private homes.
Law or no law, it is not going Ia
be done in my home, he said.

sport, would you mind letting me
look over that newspaper when you
are through? | wouldn't ask you,
only | was raised on that paper in
/ my old home town and the sight of
1t makes me homesick as the devil.
| remember how | used to go out in
| front of the house before supper and
fetch it in for the folks when / was
a little shaver. That was my first
chore. | recollect how the newsboy
would roll it up and put a twist in
it to keep it tight and give it asling
over the fence, along about sundown;
and sometimes you could hear it go
bump on the front door, and then
you could be sure of finding it all
right, If the dog didn't find it first
and chaw the ends off.
But sometimes the boy wouldn't [
aim so straight and the paper would
light in the flower bed, or get hung
up in the honey-suckle vine, or buried
in snowdrift. | recall one time
when | looked and looked, and father
and mother came out and looked, ana
the whole neighborhood came over
and looked, and we didn't find it un-
til the next rainstorm, when the
caves trough overflowed, and we got
a ladder and climbed up to see what
was the matter.
When | saw you open this paper
Just now il was like stepping back 80
years. They hayn't changed the type
or anything-the ink even has the
same old honey smell it used to have
| believe if | was blindfolded and you
held that paper under my nose /
could tell you the name of it in one
guess. Same old headlines, | see, the
same old personal column, same ola
police notes, same old ladies adyer-
tising for hired girls, same old iok-
ers' corner that We turned to first
when we were kids-same old jokes,
too, | reckon. It's like an old friend
from home that when you see him
you think Time must have overlook
ed him, somehow, and left him with
the same kindly face he had in the
old days.
You're through with it, you say?
Then I'll take it along, and when |
set down to read tonight it will be
like turning the clock back 80 years.

IN manner that nothing else will ever be
able to change that men do keep their prom
Uses and do stand by what they say.
What have tried to do in this paper has
been to explain away the false mystery that
has somehow been thrown about American
politics. The election Of Congressman
diiierS from the election of city Mayor only
IN the amount of territory covered and the
number of personalities involved. And the
election of the Mayor differs from the cleo
ton OF the president of fraternal order only
IN the fact that there may be more issues

confronting the Mayor than those confront
ing the iraternal president. Any man knows
that an election in a small body consists
merely Of the popularity of the candidate
connected with his fitness in character and
IN ability for the place In such a contest
there is neither necessity nor room for de-
ccption, nor for prctensions to things that
man does not like or believe in And this is
true in politics. The politics Of today is
founded on honest speaking, on sound judg-
mentt, and on frank campaigning for clear
cut ideas

Is another reason, and that Is
the desire on my part TO cor
rect some of the silly, Scnti-
mental statements regarding the song that
have been published in so many periodicals
of late. These articles have been written by
persons who knew next t. nothing of what
they were writing about and, in order to
make a pleasing STORY" they have not
hcSitatcd to drew on their imaginatiOns for
romantic particulars; consequently, what
they have written has been wide OF the truth,
for the most part. This gives me the OPP
portunity TO correct some Of the mistakes
Of those who seem TO have cared more for
mawkiSh sentiment than for the facts in the
case.
When | began literary work ! received
my first and greatest encouragement TO con-
tinuc it from Frank Leslie, who at that time
was publishing several periodicals in New
York City. To one Of these, "Thc Chimney
Corner, | became a regular contributor.
One Of my contributions was a little poem
entitled "Growing Old" In this was incor-
porated the lines that form the refrain OF
SILVER Threads Among the Gold from
which the song that was the outgrowth Of the
original poem took its name. Some years
later, when | was q student at Lawrence
University, Appleton, Wisconsin, letter
came to me from Hart p Danks, then Of
New York City, asking me to send him some
songwords. He had seen some songs Of mine
that had been set to music by George +.
Root, lanes r. Murray, and other COM
poscrs. and from these had the impression
that | had the "knack" of writing singablC

have on hand or might write. Three dollars
each would be paid for those which proved
available The choice Of subjects was lett
entirely 10 me.
! did not happen to have any songwords
on hand at the time, and, as ! was too busy
with my studies 70 give the matter much at
tcntiOn lust then. naturally referred 20 my
scrapboOk Of published poems, thinking that
possibly might find something therein that
could be made over into song without
much trouble. "Growing Old was the
poem that appealed to me most torGbIy
and the result was that it was rewritten IN
the form with which the public is familiar,
and submitted TO Mr. banks under the title
Of Silver Threads Among the Gold. The
sentiment upon which both poem and song
were based was the same, and the song Is
simply the original poem put into song FORM
using four lines Of it as a refrain without the
change Of q word.
