COLUMBUS EDITOR
AFTER FEDERAL Job
Percy w. Maer Applicant
for Collector of Port
of Mobile

Columbus, Miss, January 22.-tSpe-
cial)-It became known here today
that Percy w. Maer editor and pro-
pretor of the Columbus Dispatch of
this city. was an applicant for the po-
sition of collector of the port of Mo-
bile. which appointment will be made
by Senator Vardaman within the next
few days.
Mr. Maer has the unqualified indorse-
ment and support of the Vardaman
forces not only in this city and Sec
tion but over the entire state, and
has been splendidly indorsed by promi-
nent men, both in Mobile and western
Alabama He has been a loyal, per-
sonal and political supporter of SEN
ator Vardaman for the past 20 years.
and from the tenor of advise received
here today 1t is not unlikely that he
will be recommended for the position.
Prominent among the Endorsements
of Maer for tho place is splendid
expression from large number of
members of the Legislature now in ses
sion in Jackson. Men prominent, pro-
fessionally anZ in public and private
life, from every section of the state
have heartily indorsed him for the po-
sition and with this fine showing the
announcement of his appointment is
daily expected from Washington.

In a recent cartoon produced in the
Memphis News Scimitar is depicted the
interior of a cotton mill. showing
cotton spinning machine by a poorly
clad and emaciated little girl. On the
front of the machine Is placed no.
tioe which reads Don't waste the
machines time. Your value is guaged
by what you get out of this machine
Keep it at top speed" The further
statement is made that this sign is
posted in a New England mill. This
is modern civilization, Don't waste the
machines time. You may kill the chill
dren, wear out the women, but keep
the machine at top speed
Neither the cartoon nor the com
ments connected with 1t are in the least
exaggerated. Keep the machine at top
speed" has always been the slogan
OF the employer of child labor which
means the child must keep at top speed
itself and that is one of the many fea-
lures connected with child labor that
make it so deplorable. Can you imagine
a more pathetic figure than a child
of tender years being forced to do
work from 10 to II hours a day. Little
boys and girls who by the greed for
gain, are robbed of their God given
|birthright to romp and play, and con-
demned to spend the greater part of
their waking hours in ardous and de-
grading toll

had to rise at the dawn of day and

began to fall suppose the laws of
your states allowed your child to be
kept at top speed and you were pow
eiless to prevent it to whom would
you look for relief. Would it not be
to the lawmakers of your state, and
il you had a vote would you not try
to cast it for him who was pledged
TO bring about change? OF course you

expression the child labor question "is

approaching election.
The child labor laws of this state
have Deen tile SuDJtCt VI tnt ScNcItSt
criticisms by the press and from the
pens of we'll known Journalists for
many years past. 1t is true that there
has been some legislative enactments
governing the employment of children
in cotton mills but in the opinion of
many they are entirely inadequate. The
pre- sent child labor laws of Alabama
d, not cover anything but mills, fac
tories and manufactures. when as
matter of fact there are hundreds of
children employed at VARIOUS occupa-
ticns of the states without any re-
striction whatever as to age or hours
of labor. The child labor question is
gcing to be live issue in the COM
ing campaign as a bill has been pre-
pared by the Alabama child labor COM

of Birmingham is chairman that will
be presented at the January. 1915, ses-

campaign has been already launched
to secure it's passage.
