IN MEMORY

On the morning of Dec. 14th
1915 the death angel visited the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Jim Yates
and took their darling baby.
Woodrow Wilson, to the bright
realms above. Little Woodrow
came to bless the home of his
parents OH Feb. 9th 1914 He had
only stayed with them one year
ten months and five days when
that dread disease Pneumonia
struck him. Everything possible
that parents and loving friends
could do, was done to stay the
death angel who come on the
morning Of Dec. 14th and carried
the little spirit back to the God
who gave it. Parents God only
loaned you this bright gift for
a little while and the tears you
are now shedding is just the in
terest on the loan. We know
it is hard to give him up but
weep not for Jesus said. "SuGer
little children to come unto me
and forbid them not; for such is
the kingdom of Heaven. What
a sweet comforting thought, that
your baby is now one of the mum
berless little band that make the
kingdom of Heaven.
There is no death! The stars go
down.
To rise upon some fairer shore.
And bright in Heavens jew weled
crown.
They shine forever more.
There Is no death! An angel form
Walks Der the Earth with silent
tread.
He bears our best loved ones away.
And then we call them dead.
He leaves our hearts all desolate.
He plucks our fairest sweetest
flowers.
Transplantad into bliss, they now.
Adorn immortal bowers"
We laid little Woodrow to
rest in Phila Cemetery On the
norring of Dec. 18th to awale
the resurrection morn Funeral
services were conducted by the
writer. May Gods richest blessing
rest upon YOU Is the prayer OF
your friend.

BEGINS ON
 CHILD LABOR BILL
Southern Members Are Told There Is Sentiment in Their
 Section for the Measure

| Washington August 3.-The Senate late
 today began consideration of the bill to
 prevent interstate commerce in the prod
 ucts of child labor. The measure was l restored to place on the legislative pro- gramme for this session at the request | of President Wilson after the democratic l caucus once had decided to let it go over | until December. Southern democrats are | the only opponents of the measure, which will be kept before the Senate until it | is passed
 Senator Robinson, in presenting the Dill on behalf of the commerce commit tee, told his southern colleagues there was strong sentiment in favor of 1t in | their states. He read extracts from l newspapers in North and South Caro- l lina, Alabama, Georgia. Mississippi and Texas favoring child labor legislation. Answering contentious that the pro-
 posed act would effect an unconstitutional transgression of the rights of the states, the Arkansas senator declared that under decision of the supreme court the power of Congress to regulate commerce is com plete and absolute except as limited by
 the constitution itself that the only linn itation is the fifth amendment, which
 provides that no person shall be deprived of life. liberty or property without due process of law; that the fourteenth amendment to the constitution imposes the same limitation on the states as that imposed by the fifth amendment on the federal government; and that If the states in the exercise of the police power can suppress evils of child labor, Con- gress could do indirectly great many merce can promote the same end by de- nying the channels of commerce to per- sons and enterprises in the interest of the public health, morals and safety
 Senator Robinson asserted that Con- gress could do indirectly gerat many things that it could not indirectly per form.
 ''The lottery cases and the white slave cases decided by the supreme court' he said, affirm the power of Congress to enact legisla ton in the nature of police regulations through its power to regulate commerce.; that Congress has as much power to suppress recognized evils in the conditions surrounding the production or manufacture of commodities through regulation of commerce it has to &C., complish the same end after transporta- ton has ended.
