Keep the Children
Bright and Happy

Happy youngsters must be
healthy. The digestive organs Of
children get out of order as read
lily as do those of their elders, and
the result is equally distressing.
When the bowels are clogged with
an accumulation OF refuse from
the stomach, the child naturally
becomes cross and fretful from
the discomfort, and is often pun
ished for temper when medical at
tention is really what is needed.
The next time your child is
cross and unhappy, without appar-
ent reason, try giving it a mild
laxative. Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is a mild, pleasant tasting
combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin, and is especial
ly recommended for children be-
cause of its freedom from all OPT
ate or narcotic drugs and its gen
tie action. It is sold in drug
stores everywhere. A free trial
bottle can be obtained by writing
to Or. W. B. Caldwell, 452 Wash
ington St., Monticello, Ills.

MR.. CANDEE PROTESTS
CUANTLAND'S APPOINTMENT
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:

To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir-As a member Of the executive
committee of the Labor Legislative
Committee, / was actively interested
in the legislation recently enacted
concerning the Child Labor Commits
sion law and gave my signature, with
others on the executive committee, to
several statements of principles
which we believed TO be of utmost inn
portance. These statements have all
appeared in the public press and
therefore, inasmuch as certain con-
ditions have since arisen, l ask you
the privilege of declaring 10 the peo-
pie my personal position upon some
of these questions.
We believed it TO be fundamental that
the welfare laws should be kept clear OF
all politics. There are many OF us who
approved of the general plan of the law
as it was finally enacted, but who most
sincerely believed it 10 be weak as o
piece of constructive legislation, failing
also to sufficiently safeguard certain
vital points. One of these points is this
very matter in question. Our executive
committee believed, and / personally
still strongly believe, that the appoint
ments of commissioners and inspectors
should be removed as far as possible
from the political arena. Now / agree
entirely with the protest published in
your paper from the Socialist party. In
the appointment of Charles II. Grant
land the commission has made "a con-
spicuous political appointment i have
no word OF criticism to offer against Mr..
Grantland personally, nor do | call IN
question even his fitness for the office
of child labor inspector, but | believe
the fact that he is speaker OF the House
of Representatives should have abso-
lutely debarred him from any considera-
ton for this office.
Whether or not Mr.. Grantland is
eligible to hold his Office under the
stipulatiOns of Section IA, Article ?.
of the Constitution of the State of
Delaware is a question for jurists and
lawyers to determine. We know. OF
course, that Mr. Grantland was re-
sponsible more than any other one
legislator for the enactment of the
present law. II it is construed that
the Office Of inspector was created in
the sense intended in the Constitution.
then he is clearly ineligible. To all
intents and purposes a new Office was
created for both the child labor in
spectorship and the ten-hour law in
spectorship, We're eliminated and
totally new commission, the Labor
Commission. was created so that new
inspectors might be, nay. must be.
appointed. Mr.. Grantland was party
TO che legislation which made prac-
tically possible his appointment as in
/ spector.
If. however. it should be construed
that the Office of child labor inspector
Is not new Office under the ruling
OF Section IA. Article 2, still Mr..
Grantland was a member of the Legis-
lature which two years ago created
the Office. Certainly the spirit of the
| Constitution is violated. fl not the
letter of 1t, when Mr.. Grantland as
sumes the office. whichever ruling
might be made.
There is something ludicrous about
the spectacle of Legislature abolish
ing a commission which dismissed a

Democratic inspector and then hav-
ing the leader of the Republican
party In the House Immediately ap-
pointed In his stead ! say frankly
TO Mr.. Grantland that cannot accent
the public profession Of having the
welfare laws so much at heart when
ne thus grieyously violates the very
principle OF good government. His
activity in fathering and fostering
this bill. his failure TO allow rs the
opportunity of debating some of it's
weaknesses, should have forced him
to feel IL quite out of the question for
him to accept this appointment That
would have been more of a pledge Of
good faith than his acceptance Of n
as a public duty. Be he the hest
qualified man in the State for the Of
nee of child labor inspector. there is
more vital principle OF good gov-
eminent involved, a principle which
the Constitution of the State sought
to guarantee.
| repeat, / have nothing OF criticism
against Mr.. Grantland personally. but
too protest against Speaker Charles
II. Grantland's appointment II Is no,
question OF child labor welfare n
is a question of fundamental GOOD
government.
AS a member OF the executive COM
mittee which had previously spoken
concerning political appointments
ana the welfare laws. feel il my
duty 10 myself TO thus publicly as
sert mat | still stand upon the prin-
clples previously declared.
Respectfully yours.

'England's most eloquent woman.
Their praise OF her is unstinted. She

Every night Mrs. Pankhurst speaks

from which every Monday afternoon
two years ago, she was spirited away
TO prevent her from being mobbed.
Mrs. Pankhurst is part of the pro
gram.
She appears in various gowns,
mostly black. all OF exquisite cut. She
invariably wears a lace shawl and
from her neck hangs a lorgnet which
she is never seen TO use. There is
elegance, poise and restraint in her
appearance and In her speech. She
is a changed Mrs Pankhurst. And
the England that once hooted her now
greets her with cheers Of welcome.
Her theme is Women and the
War; Il must refer to the last pre-
vious occasion in which l appeared
here" said Mrs. Pankhurst. on her
opening night. 1--WE were engaged AT
that time In internal warfare war
fare on the part of the women who
were denied by the government OF the
country what they considered their
legitimate rights of citizenship.
