BETTER ELECTRIC SERVICE.
Twin State Co. Installs Expensive
Equipment at Power Plant.

An important Improvement in the
electric service given by the Twin
State Gas Electric company was made
yesterday afternoon by the addition
Of expensive equipment to the switch
board IN the plant on Arch street, put
IN under the direction of Supt. Leon
{. White. Power lines run into the
plant from the West Dummerston pow
er station, owned by the company, and
from the Connecticut River Power
company's station in Vernon. Power
from the West Dummerston station is
used as far as it will go, but when
the load becomes too great for that
station power is switched on from
Vernon. This has been done late in the
afternoon and has caused the lights to
60 out momentarily, after which there
would be a noticeable increase in the,
volume of light.
Through the new equipment both
lines are in use at the same time, the
Vernon line supplying what voltage is
needed in excess of what the West
Dummerston line furnishes. It does
away with the necessity of switching
from one line to the other and gives
steady voltage to customers of prac-
hcalIy 40 volts. In addition, if every
thing works as expected. there will be
no interruption in the service if any
thing happens so that the West Dunn
merston line is put out of commission.

Child Labor in the South.

Minneapolis Tribune: A book writ
ten to demonstrate the benefits of
child labor and to show that all re-
strictiOn upon child labor is a mis-
take, seems like an anachronism, yet
such a book has been written by one
Thomas r. Dawley, as the result of
his observations of child labor in the
southern cotton mills.
Dawley was sent by the federal de-
partment of and labor to
the south as an investigator, but his
report was SO inconsistent with the
prevalent theories that the depart
ment pigeon-hoied it. Determined to
be heard, he published his alleged
facts and conclusions in book form.
He says that he found that the
southern cotton mill industry had
been started in a region which had
previously been given up to miserable
cultivation, moonshine whisky, and
family feuds. The condition of the
children, was watched in the extreme.
To them, the conditions in the mill
towns as a vast Improvement. In
these villages the people who formerly
starved and deterioated in the hills
have acquired q higher standard of
living and more ~self-respect, and their
children are more comfortable in spite
of the fact that they toll in he mills.
This may all be conceded without
admitting the propriety of child labor,
If the conditions in the mill towns are
better than they were in the moon
shine districts, it does not follow that
they are really good. The rich and
~prosperous south ought to be able to
relieve the squalor of it's backward
people without making slaves Of the
little children. IT,
Nothing can justify setting children
of immature age at steady and con-
ining toll. Perhaps these southern
children were worked harder back in
the hills on the scrubby farms; but
that condition ought to be remedied
otherwise than by setting them at
other toll unfit for them. There are
adults enough to do the work of the
world. Give the children their play
spell and their study time.
Nothing can stop the movement,
which Is now one of the strongest of
sociological movements, to put proper
restrictions upon child labor. 1t is
one of the best signs of our advancing
civilization.

WILL ENFORCE -.
WEBB MEASURE
ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS DE-
PARTMENT WILL CARRY OUT
PRINCIPLES OF ACT

Washington, D. c., March 2O.-At-
torney General McReynolds has told
Rep. Edwin Y. Webb of North Caro-
lima, that the department of justice
Intends to enforce the so-called Webb
Kenyon law governing the Interstate
Shipment of Intoxicating liquors In
tended to be used in violation Of the
laws of any state.
Webb is author if this law, and it's
purpose is to prevent such shipments
of liquor by divesting it of it's char
acter as an article of Interstate com
merce. The law applied to shipments
into wet" as well as into dry"
states.
Webb visited the department of JUS
tice today and talked with the attor-
ney general. ,
Webb understands that the attorney
general will intervene in the first case
that is brought, challenging the opera
ton Of this law in any state. SO that
when the matter is carried forward to
the supreme court In a test case. the
government will be fully represented.
Such an opportunity may come
within the next few weeks.
Soon after the enactment of the
Webb Kenyon act, liquor dealers at
Richmond Va, instituted court pro-
ceedings to compel the express COM
pany to accept whisky offered for
Shipment into south Carolina, and
Judge Waddell refused to grant the
order at the request Of the liauor
shippers.
Judge Gary of the South Carolina
state court in a later proceeding held
in connection with an application for
a temporary restraining order that
the state liquor laws Of South Caro-
lima did not prohibit the receipt and
possession by individuals of liquor in
tended for their personal use. Under
this construction of the South Caro-
lima law 1t would not be a violation
OF the Webh-Kenyon law to ship Ii
quor into that state when liquor was
intended for tho personal use of the
person who received 1t.
Webb said today that he understood
that the liquor dealers in Richmond
who instituted the original court pro-
ceedings have contemplated renewing
their application in a different form
and would allege that the express
company refuses to receive shipments
of liquor into the state where it's use
and possession were prohibited by
state law. This would squarely raise
the issue for a test.

in tears or they explode In anger. But
why? They deliberately invited the
danger in the girls method of dress.
Why be surprised that the method
succeeded? Rather let them be sur
prised when their girl escapes danger.
1t is nothing short of a crime to al
low an unthinking young girl to wear
clothes h a when she goes OUT into
the world r the very signals of
danger. She doesn't know. How
could she? But her mother does; or
her father, or her brother, or sister.
Some older person is responsible for
allowing the dangerous dress, and
that some n will be directly re-
sponsible If danger comes to the girl
ard she goes under.
It is the middle class girl who is al
lowed to be the chief offender in this
matter of dangerous dress, and in this
fact lies the greatest danger of
American life. For if the mothers of
the great middle class, larger in num-
bers than II other, do not represent
and uphold what is best In morals. on
whom, pray, must we, as a people, de-
pend for IL standards? Lower for
as much as a single notch the moral
standard Of the middle class Of
America. and we lower the whole
American standard for decency with
results that are not pleasant to think
about.
