CHILD LABOR LAW FARCE

The annual report Of the National
Child Labor law committee gives
some startling facts regarding the
child labor legislation in this coun
try. 1t is one of the disgraces of ou.
civilization that children are al
lowed to work in factories, mines,
etc, in the east and south. The
report. however, shows how wide is
the disregard of children's welfare
It declares that twenty-eight states
allow children to work more than
eight hours a day in stores and
other local establishments; nine
teen states allow children to work
at night in such industries; TWEEN
ty-eight states have no regulation
of street work by children, and
twenty states have poor regulation
of it; twenty-three states need night
messenger laws; twenty-six do not
require medical examination of chill
dren for work permits, and thirty
two states have standards lower
than the fifth grade.
The federal law, which was used
as a Democratic campaign document
applies only to mines, quarries, can
neries. workshops and factories,
and cannot reach mercantile estaf-
lishments, many small factories and
street trades. 1t can say nothing as
to the employment of minors above
fourteen in certain dangerous oc-
equations, and nothing about night
work. Nor can it act regarding the
number Of hours that children
above fourteen labor.
1t also has a joker, inserted by
the southern congressman, proyid-
ing that it applies only to interstate
shipments of goods within 80 days
of their manufacture. The south is
for child labor and it dictated the
farcial law which many people be-
lieved helped the cause of the chill
dren but actually amounts ito no
thing. The country is shamefully
negligent in this regard and it viii

proper regard for the lives and
health of the little ones, so greedy
are the manufacturers for profit
With the solid south and some east

Sixty thousand farmers have ap-
plied for $150,OOO,OOO of the gov
ernment's farm loans. Probably they
believed the Democratic orators VINO
told them all that would be neces-
sary to get cheap money would be
to have their farms appraised ana
then take their note to the nearest
bank and have it cashed. The prln-
ciple of farm credits is right put
the farm loan bank law is probably
the most bungling, extravagant ana
most complicated act that congress
ever adopted. 1t was for campaign
consumption and seems to have done
it's work. Now it will have to be
made workable.

GOOD FUEL is WASTED
WHILE THE POOR SILVER

When fuel is so nigh priced it
does not look good to see piles of
old ties burning along railroad
tracks. The wood from the ties
would do a lot of good during the
coming winter. If railroad compan-
les want to show they have hearts
it would be a good thing to load the
ties up and sell them in cities for
cost OF transportation. 1t looks pref
ty to see ties burning along the
right OF way. But it would be much
better If the railroads would see
that the ties are used for the re-
lief Of distressed families during
the coming winter. 1t seems a
shame to have so much good fuel
wasted when coal is so right. Rail
road companies could get rid of
much criticism If they wouldn't do
such thoughtless acts as burning of
old ties while families in many
towns are compelled to SILVER

WHY HIT THE FARNIERe

Shall foodstuffs alone be sub
jected to an embargo? Are the
American farmers to be singled out
as the class to bear this burden?
Clothing. fuel, hardware, chemicals,
drugs, building materials-in fact
everything necessary to life has ad-
vanced in price and our huge ex-
port trade is held responsible. Why,
then, should exports of fOodstuffs
only be restricted? These are ques-
tions the farmers are asking after
hearing the report OF a proposed
embargo on foodstuffs. The war has
saved the farmer from the ravages
of free trade, and provided him
with a market OF limitless capacity
for his commodities. He will not
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1916-12-14

tolerate legislation which viii de-
stroy his foreign trade while manu-
facturers are permitted to continue
their traffic. Ostensibly the pro-
posed embargo is designed &" de-
crease the cost of living but many
farmers believe it is for the pur-
pose of retaliating against the Brit
ish blacklist, and they emphatically
protest against being made the
presidents goat in getting even
with Great Britain.
The war began Aug. /, 1914. In
the nine months ending Sept. 80,
1914, s320,681,0 900 of farm pro
ducts was exported; the same per-
iod of 1916 showed $716,8O0,O 900;
and 1916 $643.2S7, 900. But when
it comes to munitions out of which
fabulous fortunes are being made
down east the exports for the three
periods were: 1914, $423,014,00O;
1915, $S99,533,OOO; 1916, 81, 1855
6O7, 900.
Why, indeed, should the farmers
bear the burden of the embargo?
What is to be thought of the party
which used our war-order prosper
Iity as a campaign slogan, ant
which now seeks to stifle tina
prosperity, having secured fou
more years from the people?

Reform Not Sufficient.

This inquiry is quite important from
the fact that VIC hear q great deal
about the sins OF men. and little about
their sin. The pastor or evangelist
very frequently urges men to get right
with God, and in doing so he often
cries: Quit your meanness;" Get
on the water wagon" Stay at home
of nights" stop your gossiping,"
etc. The result OF such exhortation 10
in very many cases prompt obedience
to the exhortation OF the preacher and
the life is greatly improved. What
has taken place? Practically nothing
more than reform. and there is no
guaranty that II will be permanent.
But are these Individual transgres.
sions OF law all that is In the mind Of
the Spirit, speaking In the Bible? In
many places In the word OF God sin
is spoken OF In such connection that
the individual transgression can hardly
be in mind. IN sin did my mother
conceive me-" God be merciful to me
sinner" There is a sin tthe par
ticle is not in the Originally not unto
DEATH" 81 om a sinful man, o Lord"
20 wretched man that am! who shall
deliver me from the body of this
DEATH" In none of these, and many
more might be cited, is there any ref.
erence to particular SINS the clear in
tlmation is that there is something
back of the individual sin: a state or
condition, or tendency that is properly
called sin.
