THE HIGH SCHOOL BONDS

than of actual need and good bust

1t will readily be recognized how
easy it is to evade this statute. The
prohibition is upon commodities
from mills, etc, ia which within 80
days prior to the removal of such
commodities or products therefrom
children under the age of IA have
been employed or permitted to
work. 1t would, under this law, be
possible to employ children of any
age, for example, up to March 81
and on May ! it would be possible
to ship the product without any
limitation, since children were not
within 80 days prior to the date of
the removal, employed in the mill
AS matter of fact, in most
manufacturing lines there is a pro-
ducing season and a distributing
season. Children could very well be
discarged at the end of the produc-
ing season, and the product of their
toll not sent out for 80 days or
more.
Practically all child labor legis-
lation has come from the northern
states, dominated by Republicans,
particularly under Presidents Roose-
welt and Taft, and that the present
gold brick child labor law was
openly opposed in the senate by
Bankhead and Underwood of Ala
bama, Hardwick and Smith of
Georgia. and others.
1t is also fact that as late as
1909 Woodrow Wilson lectured be-
fore Columbia University in oppo-
sition to the proposed national
child labor law on the ground that
it was a dangerous infringement of
state rights. But having as usual
changed his mind it would seem
that in signing such important leg
islation he would have refused to
hand the people a gold brick to
please the southern congressman.
Laws with "jokers" are bad enough
always and especially so when a |
human interest attaches to them.

A CONVERT or PROTECTION

In Great Britain organized labor
has swung around to protection
Only a few days ago the national
British trades congress representing
some two million skilled workers
passed a resolution declaring that
the adoption of a protective policy
had become necessary.
For a generation the British tariff
reformers Iprotectionists) have been
trying to arouse the country to the
necessity of radical change of its
tariff policy, but have made but
slow Roadway, mainly because the
trade organizations have held to
the traditional policy of free trade
with practical unanimity. Now
British labor has seen new light.
1t has profited by the lessons of the
war and can read the signs of the
times. 1t has come to see that free
trade is doomed in its own home,
and that protection is essential to
the welfare OF the British workers
The lesson should not be lost
upon American labor or the Ameri-
can people. During the war of work
that is to follow the war of death,
no country will be able to hold its
own unless it is fully armed for the
contest And the most necessary
weapon in this war is the shield of
protection.
Free trade Tor tariff for reven-
ue) does not mean that labor, or
the people at large, for that mat
ter, are free to work and live as
they please. 1t means that they must
work and live as other countries
dictate 1t is protection that means
freedom to work and live in keep
ing with our own standards

THE FIRST BALLOT

Here are some wise words from
the Minneapolis Messenger that
are worth considering
The Republican party platforms,
state and national make a power
full appeal to the young man and
the young woman who will cast
their first vote for president this
year. The party for whom the first
ballot is cast is usually the party
of life time. 1t is important there
fore that the first voters this year
make close study of the political
parties, their platforms and candi-
dates. The Republican party, with
its long record OF wise rule and
splendid achievement, deserves the
support of every young man and wo-
man who will cast their first ballot
for president in November"
The first ballot is an important
one and Kansas young men and wo-
men should align themselves with
a party that does things worth
while in national life.

.sential that there be a man of ability

county is fortunate to have him con
sent to serve.

Kansas voters this fall will have
less work to do in casting their bal
lots for president and vice president
than in 1912. J. T. Botkin, secretary
of state, has discovered in prepar-
ing the ballots for the next general
election Instead of having to vote
for each presidential elector, as in
1912, the voters simply will have
to make acoss in the box to the
right of the name of their choice for
president, this mark casting the bal
lot for the entire list of ten presi-
Dental electors of the party. Re-
publican voters, for instance, will
have to make their mark only after
the name of Charles f. Hughes at
the head OF the ticket to express
their preference for president. The
1913 legislature changed the law,
which in 1912 would have required
that the voter express his prefer
enee for ten presidential electors.

Senator Overman OF North Caro-

mittee, in letter to his colleagues
made this announcement.
It was stated that Secretary
Lansing will be quizzed at length
by this committee for the purpose
of disclosing what caused the change
of heart on the part OF the admin
istration toward retaliatory amend
ments to the revenue bill that were
rejected in conference.
1t was said that Mr. Lansing
either went personally to the capitol
the night before the conferees agreed
or called Democratic members of
the conference committee on the
telephone and told them emphatic
ally that the Chamberlain and Phe-
Ian amendments must be rejected
The Phelan amendment to the
revenue bill was dropped by con

notified Secretary Lansing that If

eel all war orders in the United
States, according to reports at
Washington If this was the case it
was a humiliating exhibition of ad-

CHILD LABOR LAW JOKER"

Another Democratic gold brick
handed to the American people un
der the guise of a Humanitarian
law, is the so-called child labor Law
which President Wilson signed or
September l. The highly praised
statute has loop-hole in it big
enough to throw a hat through. II
is this provision of the law which
is pointed to as absolutely vitiating
it:
mo producer, manufacturer, or
dealer shall ship or deliver for
shipment in interstate or foreign
commerce any article or COM
modify, the product of any mill,
cannery, workshop, factory or man
ufacturing establishment situated in
the United States. in which within
thirty days prior to the removal of
such product therefrom children
under the age of fourteen years
have been employed, or permitted
to work"
The statute then makes similar
prohibition on the products of es-
in which children
have been employed more than eight

Cheer up, governor. The national
election is yet to come. In 1908 the
Republicans carried Maine by only
1853 in September, but in Noyem-
Der they rolled up 3O.5S4 for Taft.
SO the outlook is for a Republican
plurality quite up to the average
for five elections, and we believe
the average of the five elections
nationally was Republican presi-
dent of the United States.
