 A few months ago Justice McKenna speaking for the Supreme Court of the United States said Tt must be kept in mind that we are one people and the powers reserved to the states and those conferred on the nation ara adapted to be exercised, whether in- dependentIy or 1ncurrently, to pFomot the general welfare. material and moral
 Tn the interest of this general vel fare both material and moral, the Na- tiora1 Child Labor Committee has been leading forces for ten years to abolish the inhuman abuses of child labor. Evidence has been gathered and pub 1ished showing little children in coal mines, cotton mills fruit and vegeta- along the Gulf Coast, fhe ssveatsshops of cur great cities and the glass fac tories of Pennsylvania and the Middle West and the public has become aroused to realize that child labor is a national extravaganza as well as a. national disgrace z
 If newspaper publicity and denun- ciation from the pulpit and platform could cure this evil it would already have l disappeared Unfortunately child labor is not a sectional abuse It exists Wherever industries are of a na- ture to make it immediately profit able to the employer. Those who op- pose child labor in@ the abstract are often quite as vigorous in fayoring or combining it in the concrete
 When if has come to the real issue the attempt to get effective state laws enacted-almost insuperba1e diff ficulfzes have been encountered. The industries affected have always oppos- ed these measures on the ground that such laws would handicap them in competdtion with other states. This objection has always been unfounded because child labor is the most exfrav- azanf and waStefu1 kind of labor. Ad- vanced laws enacted in New York, Massachusetts, or Ohio have been due than to their virtue. The results of such legislation have always proven its economic wisdom Nevertheless the opposition to child labor laws is stiI1 quite as effective with many leg ia1atfye committees as though it were not founded on a, fa1iIacy-
 When fadrly good laws have been secured in given state the people of that state are helpless to protect themselves from purchasing goods produced by exp1oiters of young chill dren in neighboring states and shipped into local markets The states are therefore powerIeSs except by in1prob- able. joint and simultaneous action to effectively prohibit child labor.
 The National Child Labor Commit tee has become convinced that the only way in which the evil can be ban ished from America is by striking at the privilege the exploiters of child labor enjoy through the facilities of fered by inter-stats commerce. The forces opposed to child labor now call upon the federal government to for bid such facilities t9 these D Tfalr task mastgrs

MAN LIABLE FOR
 MISTREATTNG WIFE
Supreme Court Sets Aside Judge. Will
 liams' Verdict.

Under the common law, a husband might restrain his wife of her liberty and might chastise her, but it is now as unlawful for him to beat or falsely in1prison her as for another to do so, and he is anenab1e to the criminal law for such an offence.
 This statement is made by the su- prem court in it's decision in the case of Elizabeth C. Brown against Thom- as c. Brown, in which an error was found in the decision of the lower court The wife, in the action, seeks to recover damages from her husband for an assault and battery and false
 mprisonment The complaint was de murred to on the ground that, by req son of her coverture, the wife has no cause of action against the husband for the personal injuries alleged.

RATES ARE
 HELD REASONABLE

Washington, March 6.-Contiit tons and regulations under which potatoes are shipped during the winter months have been for years a subject of con test between shippers and railroads. The cr11x of the question was the cost of such reasonable precautions as to prevent loss through the freezing of the potatoes in transit
 The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion held today that tariff regulations pr1rbIiehed by the railroads are flair and reasonable'' which allow "the shipper a choice between shipping his traffic at a lower rate under a spe- cisI contract by which he becomes his own insurer against weather loss and damage or of making his shipments under terms imposing the full respon- ksibdldty upon the carrier at a. higher rate.

HILL FOR GOVERNOR

The TorTington correspondent of the Waterbury Republican says:
 The first real boom for Hon. Ebene- ger J. Hil1, former congressman, of NorwaIk, for governor, was started Monday night in Torrington in con nection with the meeting of the Mems club of the Center Congregational church held at the edifice and ad- dressed by the ex-congreSsnnan, who spoke on his trip to the Holy Land.
