The Rev Charles L. Candee. pastor
of Westminster Presbyterian Church,
and one of the most active and in
huential preachers and social work
ers in Delaware, sent the following
letter TO THE EVENING JOURNAL
Office this afternoon
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL
Your splendid editorials upon the
child labor laws and the ten-hour
law lead me to send you this letter
commenting youi very clear and sane
statements of the situation. Nothing
could have been more plainly written
than your recent editorial on That
Legislative Investigation" You put
your finger Immediately upon the
vital points at issue and completely
uncover the real animus underlying
the whole controversy. ] do not see
how wise legislators could fail TO see
the real situation, which. 10 my mind,
is exactly as you presented it, There
has been the deep laid scheme TO
ruin the commission and ultimately to
nullify all child labor legislation.
At the same time, I think it very
imperative that the public should
clearly understand that the question
is no longer a controversy either in
/ the Child Labor Commission OF over
! il, but is a matter anent the funda-
mental principles Of child labor legis-
lation. We ought not to suppose foi
| a moment that the members of ouI
/ Legislature desire to have no legal
and sufficient protection TO the chill
/ dren and women of our State Two
years ago Delaware took its stand
upon the firm principles of welfare
] legislation. II is not that today We
need TO debate as to whether or no
a woman should be allowed to over
work or to jeoprrdize her health anC
/ life II can not be that we need de
/ clare that children must not be eX
plotted for the gain of dollars. Sucl
declarations have already been made
by our State. and there are Thousands
of our citizens into whose minds th'
thought simply does not enter tnat W.
would retract on these humane
economic, fair and Christian princi
pies.
What then is the situation and wha
the peril? The peril lies in the fac
that the proposed changes in IN
methods of administration are sue
as cut at the roots of welfare pro
lection. Men anxious whether right
" or wrongly-to place more patron
age in the hands of the parties o
powers in command have failed {

in State, Says the Rev. l. Candee

lamontably retrograde. Party poll
tics or partisanship of any kind
never have produced. either IN Della
ware or anywhere else. fair and sut-
icient inspection and protection An
inspectorship which is but bit of
the winning party's patronage Is not
i'm the least likely to be imper'iOus
TO the wiles of "favors done for favors
received" Not that "a good inspector
can not be found within party ranks,
but that however good the man, the
inspector who owes his appointment
TO his own party can not be the non
partisan in his work that he should be.
Here then is tho first principle, test
ed and proven in a dozen States. The
inspector should owe his Office to
other than his political party.
Thus there is seen TO be necessary
and essential non-partisan com
mission whose duty il is to appoint
the inspector and to whom that in
spector is responsible.
Now the vital question Is not the
precise number. to compose such a
commission, but that the commission
should be partisan. Il has been
proposed i'm the Legislature to create
/ a commission of three. Three might
be a good committee for business
executive work. but three is scarcely
really non-partisan and is therefore
quite unsuited for this work of
State.
do not care to enter here into the
many and valid reasons for a com
mission much larger than three.
want simply to point out that the es-
sential features of a nOn-partisan
commission and q non-partisan inspec-
tor have been wholly done away VIII
when a commission of only three Is
created and an inspector is put upon
the slate of the party in control.
This is the real situation. This If
the real issue. Ii is for the sovereign
people to say firmly to party politics
"hands off" We have already de
clared that these great laws whict
nave so much TO do with the welfare
lof all our people are to be kept cleal
of politics and all partisanship. Car
we permit an unfortunate contro
versv to so cloud the minds Of th'
people that they will not see tina
these proposed changes are vital II
the extreme2 To make those re
sponsible for the enforcement of labo
laws and for the safeguarding o
children and women to be simpl
partisan is to rob those laws OF tn
. efficiency We intend them to have.
Very respectfully yours,
, Charles L. Candee.
