Southern Senator's and Child
- Labor. 9~fye s@ f

IF the Senators from Georgia and the Caro-
linas had been consistent opponents of un-
constitutional legislation, their fight for the
factory owners against little eo1aite children,
could be defended.
But these Senators made no effort to defeat
the unconstitutional extension of the Census
Bureau, although that extension invades and
violates the rights Of every ginner in the Cot.
ton Belt.
Those Senators did not oppose the invasion
of State rights by the Migratory Bird law,
the Harrison Narcotics law, and the new Mill
tary law-which last breach Of State rights
has cost $130,OOO,OOO and furnished an ex~
cuse for another issue of bonds
Therefore, when the Senators from Georgia
and the Carolinas combat the efforts of the
Administration to emancipate white children
from cotton mills, they prove that they are
governed by the Northern owners of these
Southern mills.

Congressman Tom HELM Saws
That the Republicans Can't
Find an Issue.

n Sunday papers appeared statement t.
the above effect, from Hon. Tom Hehn,
of Alabama.
He seemed jubilant He had the laugh on
the Republicans. He wanted the whole
country to share his Joy
Well, that's what we are doing, Tom We
are laughing just as much as you are.
Only, our fun arises from different source
We are amusing ourselves hugely at seeing
the Democratic party lose it's identity.
If Republicans are unable to find fault with
us Democrats, it must be that we have done
everything they wanted done.
If Hughes can't see any difference between
his politics and Wilson's maybe there isn't
any.
In 1890, [ made a speech in Atlanta in
which [ said that there was too little differ
ence between the two old parties.
In 1916, Congressman Hefin says there is
no difference at all.
They cussed me fiercely in 1890 for telling
them the truth, but / don't hear anybody
cussing HeAin.
Keep on talking, Tom
Keep on laughing at Republicans who can't
see any difference between Wilson and
Hughes
If they are both alike, we wouldn't ruin
the country, if we voted for Hughes
Nor could we be severely blamed, if we re-
fused to vote for either
Talk some more, Toni
You and the New York World will start a
new party, if you don't watch out
There used to be visible differences between
