less employers who drag babies
from their beds to labor in the
plucking fields and feed their flesh
to the acid of the shrimp.
"To arouse a national passion, an
overwhelming public sentiment that
child labor must 60 will be no easy
task. Natural indifference and the
tradition about early habits OF in
du.try' die hard. But the greatest
obstacle, because in some ways the
most intangible, is Special Privi-
lege.' Child labor is one Of the
foundation stones of Big Business,
and its supporters in every state
are both bitter and powerful in
their ntagonism to child labor re-
form. Their corrupt control ex-
tends to courts and legislatures,
and to a large portion Of the press
"a control that causes the sup
preston of child labor facts in great
measure and the minimizing OF
those that can't be suppressed.
~ do not mean to say" Mr. Cree
went on, that nothing has been dom
in the ten years since the organization
OF the National Child Labor Commit
tee. Much has been done, though muci
still remains to do. The Uniform Chill,
Labor Law, drafted by the committe
and indorsed by the American Bar As
sociation, prohibits wage earning oc
cupations for children under ii, for
bids night work for children under IL
prescribes an S-hour day, demands edu
cational qualifications equal TO nv
yearly grades, documentary proof o
age and the keeping OF employment
certificates on file"
And there is the Palmer-Owen bill
which has passed the House, but no
the Senate, but which will be pushe
sgain until it becomes a law an
makes impossible the interstate trans
portation OF the products of chill
labor. Arizona alone has passed tn
former law. In other states the ag
limit varies from twelve to fourteen
but there are many outrageous exemp
tions. and in some cases an entire lacl
of proper inspection and law enforce
ment.

will 20 through the motions. But un-
less he comes to like it, the temptation
will always be TO shirk or evade the
imposed task. 1t is, therefore, unwlse
TO leave a child too long to himself
with the responsibility Of completing
the unpleasant duties. And 1t is unfair,
when he falls down, to upbraid MIN
for his failure. The younger the child
the more difficult it is for him to Keep
before his mind the desirability OF
doing the unpleasant, or the penalty OF
failure. What we require OF children
should be adapted to the growing aDii-
ity TO bear responsibility.
This. il seems, I: what the parents
of the Billies and the Carolines have
overlooked. They have issued their
forbiddings and then turned to other
affairs: the children, however, do not
forget the hearts desires. The en-
harco ia merely an obstacle to be over"
come. if teasing will not lift the en-
barco. then the blockade must be run.
II would be a good plan for the par
ents to keep a calendar and then pre-
mare themselves to meet critical per-
iods in advance. Billy's father, Tor
example, fearing the demorslizins ell
fects of the circus, might have ar
ranged for a Sunday school picnic to
absorb the interests and energies and
the time that went normally TO the
circus. In like manner, Caroline 3
mother should have anticipated the
night OF the dance with provision for
a different way Of spending the time.
There are many ways of substituting
ono interest for another, but ignoring
the wishes Of children or forpidd'hg
their satisfaction will either tempt to
intrigue and disobedience or arouse re-
sentiment and bitterness.

host Of younger brothers, cousins and

ways in which the Jaw is violated.
According TO government report,
there are more than 10000 children be-
tween ten and fifteen years of age in
the cotton mills to-day, working from
6 in the morning until at night, or
from 8 at night to 6 in the morning
There are cases where they work
seventeen hours at a stretch two OF
three times a week.
At Any Rate, There Was the Uplift
an one town, where scores OF mere
children worked for twelve hours un-
der the most enervat!ng conditions, the
management made speciality o.
flower culture, and was eloquent n
describing the uplift II expected from
its petunias and geraniumc.
"In the silk mills little girls re.
ceiye four cents an hour for toll

and blinds their eyes until they can
hardly see. In the canneries mere
tots snip beans at a cent a pound
from 4:30 a. m. to 10 p. m. Their

and they often fall asleep while
working and tumble from their
seats. Children of six and eight
husk corn and cap cans forty a min

earn twenty cents a day. Work
often starts at 3 o'clock in the
morning.

tinued. an our book we have tried to
/ show the narrowing, devastating ef'
/ fects of these conditions. Children are
worn out bodily and mentally before
they have attained their full growth
and these stunted and dazed wrecks IN

! generation after generation.
Child Bondage Depresses Adult Wage
"The child in industry depresses the
adult wage. This is one OF the most
pernicious effects OF the system. No
child gets a mans wage, though 1t may
be doing a mans work and deprivlng
him of his chance to do it. Fathers OF
families are often unable TO find EN-
ployment, while their children are
| forced to work, or else they can COM
mand only as much as the child.

promptly disposed Of his own, and the
others were wrapped and placed in his
pocket. Later in the day, when the
brother came home he was Informed
that Richard had some candy for him;
but when Richard was questioned he
declared that "they all melted away"
OF course they had not melted away,
except in his mouth the story simply
indicated the limit Of his resources IN
inventing an explanation for their DIS
appearance that would not reflect too
severely upon himself. He had to
admit, finally, that he had eaten them,
and ne then showed the appropriate
kind and amount Of remorse.
While it was proper TO intrust the
child with the candies to take home
TO his brother, it was really too much
to expect him TO remain their Gus
todian. unmatched, for two hours. The
confidence in the child was not proper
toned to his ability to resist the
temptation, and was therefore mis-
placed. The candies should have been
taken from him after he came home;
he had fulfilled his duty in bringing
them home without invading their in
tesrity. A child of seven or eight
could easily have carried the burden
Of temptation for a longer period, but
for the younger child it is usually too
much.
Elizabeth, when she was eight years
old, developed an unusual appetite for
sugar, and was constantly at the sugar
howl. The mother at last resorted to
a locked cupboard, where she unosten-
tatiously placed the sugar bowl, beyond
the reach of temptation. Some OF her
friends criticised this action, on the
theory that she was thus weakening
Elizabeth's will. But the mother was
probably right. Nothing is to be
gained by intrusting the child with a
duty that she is unable 10 meet; and

nothing is gained by exposing her 10
excessive temptation. While it is true
that the will is strengthened by over
coming temptations, it is equally true
that it suffers when compelled to yield
too often. Too much trust is virtually
too much temptation. Confidence In q
child, like responsibility. should De
pro 2ortioned to the child's ability to
use it properly.
As Mrs. Annie Winsor Allen says in
her "Home, School and Vacation life
is full of temptations. We should not
unnecessarily multiply them by asking
Of a child more self-restrsint than he
has y, fully learned. II is fair to
trust a child of ten not to run away,
but it is not fair to trust child OF
three. y. is not fair TO leave yellow
journals round and then tell a child
of any age that you trust him not to
read them. The temptation is too
strong and constant"
New-York tribune., 1915-03-22

Of a hubbub inspired by muckrakers
and professional agitators. Nothing
could be further from the truth. On
the contrary. the child labor situation
has been constantly understated.
Through fear of being charged with
sensationalism, the national commit
tee and the various state organizations
have excluded the blood and sweat
and tears from their reports. But this
problem is made up of blood and sweat
and tears. If you leave them out. you
can't deal with it effectively"
And this is what Mr.. Creel has tried
to do in his study Of Children In
Bondage" written in collaboration
with Judge Ben Lindsey and Edwin
Markham and recently published by
Hearst's International Library Com
pany.
Time Ripe for Anti-Child Labor Agi-
tation.
"The time is ripe for a great wave
OF anti-child labor agitation" Mr..
Creel went on, peoples hearts are
softer than they ever were before,
and social problems are accorded an
Importance that is new to civilization.
One principal feature of the fight is to
secure recognition of the underlying
and compelling relation that toiling
children bear to vice, crime. low wages,
unemployment and congestion.
"Then we must get Congress and the
Legislatures to take the same burning
interest in the welfare Of children
that they have long manifested in
crops and livestock. During all these
years, when children have been ex-
plotted TO their destruction and de-
spar. without inquiry or even interest,
thousands Of dollars were spent in
wapinp war against cattle fevers and
hog cholera. And while it was impos-
sible to learn anything authoritative
with regard to child labor in the cot
ton mills, the government issued re-
rort after report on the cotton crop
and the proper way to proceed against
the boil weeyil.
"In the Gulf States there are ten
der laws for the protection OF the
oyster and the shrimp, dealing
minutely with the crime of tearing
them from their beds before they
have attained a certain size and
length, but there are no laws that
prescribe penalties for those ruth
