The Child Labor Problem

Well stated are the points in the
following friendly criticism OF the
efforts of those who try to secure
palliative legislation instead of funda-
mental reform. 1t is from a letter by
Fred s. Wallace, one of Ohio's able
and well informed newspapermen, writ
ten to an official of an organization
devoted to pushing child labor legis-
lation.s
Nothing can be clearer to me than
that the basic evil of modern civiliza-
ton is in the vast majority OF in
stances involuntary poverty. This
poverty is the logical and inevitable
result of a system which enables a
small and constantly decreasing per-
centage of the people to own the land,
and by such ownership to compel the
great majority of these fellows to la
Dor for them on their own terms. More
and more these few are appropriating
the fruits of other mems labor In the
form Of ground rents.
"Year by year industry becomes
more efficient, yet year by year pow
erty grows apace. With the increas-
ing intelligence of the people there
are signs of healthy revolt against
our woefully unfair distribution OF
wealth. Nothing will delay revolt
: more than a mass of Intellectual legis-
lation aimed at symptoms, rather
than the disease. Such remedies as
child labor laws, minimum wage laws.
State pensions, income taxes, ETC.,
seem merely calculated to dissipate
revolt and end in ludicrous demands
for the physical punishment of indivi-
duals.
''If 1 were living on ground rents
and had vested interest in existing
injustice, self-interest would impel me
to contribute to your cause as the
most practical means Of diverting peo-
pies minds from the real issue, and
thereby saving my share Of the loot.
am looking to liberty and not to
legalized repression. do not rejoice
at seeing men jailed for new made
crimes. The conviction of officials Of
the Old Capital Dairy Company is not
source of satisfaction to me. So
ciety suffers a thousand fold more
from lawmakers than from lawbreak-
#ers. ri
ttParents under normal conditions
can be trusted to give their children
care and supervision. Only when
parents are systematically oppressed
and starved by larcenous laws is the
instinct to do this undermined. With
self-employment as a potential alter
native for every worker child labor
wculd automatically disapnear in
year. With, resources to support q
hilhoa people. there 10 no good reason
why 0elf-omDloyment should be les
aaV1lable than It was . century ago"

A Long Time In Building.
How long we-c you i'll building
VOur louise?

How long we-c you in building
your house?
Il completed it in two months?
You succeeded better than / did !,
For it was six month after / began
to build before my house was COM
pleted."
But this is trihing compared with
the time necessary TO complete other
notable buildings. A church at Ro-
chester, N. Y, must have been fiji
teen years in building. In New York
city the cathedral named after St.
John the Divine has been twelve or
fifteen years under construction and
is not much mere than half ccmplet-
ed. In Europe we have examples OF
cathedrals that required thirty-fivo
years, another, seventy years, and
one one hundred and twenty years
for its completion. ! hear of another
the cathedral of st. Sophia at Con-
stantinople which, if ] am correctly
informed required five hundred years
of work before the builders laid
down their tools.
! have heard a great deal about
the Cologne cathedral and anticipat-
ed great pleasure in seeing this mar
velous specimen of architecture, re
curing coo years in construction,
but when stood before ii was dis
appointed, as was the first time I
saw Niagara Falls, and the occasion
on which | saw the Sequoia trees of
California which did not seem large
though our stage and four horses
could drive through a hole made in
the trunk. The cause of my disap-
pointment in this CologIh cathedral
was its beautiful proportions. 1t is
in fact so large that several smaller
churches could he placed inside of
it without being particularly in the
way.
Did the kings, the aristocrats, the
mobiles build these great cathedrals?
No. they were built largely by the
savings OF the poor. This is one
reason why SO many years were oc-
cupied in completing these structures
There were pauses in order to give
time for the labOring men and wo-
men to save their pennies and dimes
to continue the great work
