The Legislative Committee appoint-
ed to investigate the Child Labor Com
mission has reported and really it is
so transparent il is enough TO make
you laugh. Politics is stamped all
over it and Republican politics at
that.
The report recommends a new cont
mission of three members. one from
each county, to be appointed by the
Governor and the inspector to be ap-
pointed by the Governor: However,
the report was not complete, because
what the committee intended was
omitted, and that was, that such ac-
tion by the Legislature would author
ize a Republican Governor to appoint
Republican commission and appoint
a Republican inspector, thus creating
another job for some deserving ()
Republican politician.

IT Is To Laugh
CFrom The Georgetown Republican,

We hope the Legislature will have
more sense, at least more self-respect,
than to attempt to thus openly play
politics with such a serious matter.
If the time has arrived when the Re-
publican politicians will stoop 20 tam
per with the wefare of the children OF
this State for the sake of giving some
petty politician or time-server a job,
the party has indeed fallen to depths
that deserve the disdain of every self
respecting person. When the needs OF
the children are traded for the ad-
vancement of the Republican party
and a Republican Legislature dares to
confirm such a dastardly deed. we
hope every citizen will realize upon
whom the responsibility rests.
We do not believe Governor Miller
will approve such a bill.

The Shipping Bill
lFrom the New York SUM.

robuking those who disagree with
his ship purchase project.
In his message to Congress De-
cember s. 1914, the President made
special mention" of the need Of
making adequate provision for the
survey and charting of our coasts
especially the Alaska coast line. The
" ork. says the message, "is incom-
plete at almost every point. Ships
END lives have been lost in threading
what were supposed to be well known
main channels"
How negligent, even TO the point OF
criminality Tin the ordinary citizen ,
the Government has been the Presi-
dent sets forth as follows:
WI have not provided adequate
vessels or adequate machinery Tor
the survey and charting. We have
rseG old vessels that were not brig
enough or strong enough and which
were so nearly unseaworthy that our
inspectors would not have allowed
private owners to send them TO sea.
TO survey and chart coasts and
harhors is an old established function
Of national Governments, similar IN
principle to the maintenance of roads
/ and to the policing and lighting oi
streets by municipalities. II was
coniided to our national Government
when the Constitution was adopted
/ Yet it seems that this function has
| been grossly neglected, and the very
| tools employed are so inadequate and
/ even dangerous to life that private
enterprise would have been restrained
from using them.
What guarantee is there that if the
Government spends forty or fifty mil
/ lions of dollars for ships to be used
/ in what has been hitherto a private
business these vessels will not alsC
be or soon become so nearly unsea
worthy that our inspectors would no

Are Ne Ia Buy A War!


re the Editor of The Sun-Sir
Your articles on the ship bill explain
everything in a nutshell. If Presi
dent Wilson and the Democrats ia
Congress would read them perhaps
they would open their eyes to the
danger that confronts us.
Are we to be brought into a disas-
trous war again through the machina-
tions of the Democratic party? They
were in power when the Mexican war
was fought over land whose owner
ship could have been settled by
treaty. Now il is because of buying
ships.
England is right We are not as
neutral as we should be. In fact our
neutrality is almost a Joke Can't
President Wilson and his party see
that we cannot afford to offend four
Lations that are on peaceable terms
with us?

disputed Texas territory in 1916.

Polk. cost us $25.OO0O00. most of

Did we teach Mexico last year TO

With England and France ahead of
us i'm their naval equipment and
Japan close behind us, would the lit

ing OF this bill be worth the lives OF

We are not prepared for war even

1898, and even If we did win then how

The Democratic party slowly lost
power during and after the Mexican
war because a Democratic Presiden
caused that war. If President Wilson
signs the bill authorizing the pur
chase of these ships will he care Il

ing this he brought on war between
the Allies and the United States?
We would back our Congress in ih'

PHOENIX MAN IS
 SHOT AT RAY
Cunningham Harrington Is Victim of Accidental Discharge Of
 Gun

Cunningham Harrington, of this city. was accidentally shot and seri- ously wounded at Ray early yester- day morning when gun he was carrying fell from it's holster and was discharged. Word to this effect was telephoned yesterday to Mrs Harrington. and arrangements were made last evening for Al Harrington. a brother of the injured man, to leave for Ray this morning.
 According to Mrs. Harrington, her husband left for Ray two or three days ago to engage as a guard during the trouble that threatens at the mining camp. He was assigned to night duty and in company with an other guard was patrolling a district near the mine entrances. In some manner his gun fell to the ground and was discharged. The bullet is said to have passed through the liver.
 Drs. Crawford and Hart attended the wounded man who was removed to the Ray hospital. The physicians reported that there was every in- dication that Harrington would re- cover speedily.
