output beyond the state. Even the seasonal establishments, such as can neries, cannot hold their output thirty days after the season closes. I ven ture the prediction that no industrial concern will ever attempt to evade the law in this respect.
 understand from your letter that it has also been claimed that the pro- ducer in any state could sell either absolutely or nominally to a dealer in the state and that after thirty days the dealer could ship the product in inter- state commerce. This is not true for the dealer in the state of production must have certificate from the pro- ducer or manufacturer that children have not been employed by the produ- cer under prohibited conditions; and if the certificate is false, while the dealer cannot be prosecuted, the pro- ducer can be.
 "It is not less absurd to claim that the producer can use a warehouse to evade the law. In order to accom- plish any such evasion the producer must hold the goods in the mill, work shop or factory for thirty days after the employment of children has ceased at which time there will be no neces- sityffor using a warehouse inasmuch as the goods could then be shipped di- rectly. An honest examination of the Act will convince any person that it is just as effective as it could be made without creating such disturbance in the commerce of innocent people as would have awakened sentiment against the measure that would have brought about its speedy overthrow.
 "I have reviewed again the entire subject and am thoroughly persuaded purposes toward which the friends of that the Act will effectuate the humane child labor legislation have, for a ltng time been striving"

MUSIC AND sx.s+v LIBERAL EDUCATION
By UMBEkTo soRRENTINo.

Ons of the most significant signs of modern mental development is the all most universal prevalence of the music study habit
 Hardly family who can afford it in America at any rate-but has one or more children studying vocal or instrumental music.
 The enhanced pleasure of family life under these conditions (after the beginners stage is passed) is almost incalculab1e.
 But there is another phase of the matter-aside from the aesthetic pIeasure-which has not been suffi- ciently emphasized. and this is the value of music study as an intellectual aid.
 For music develops the mind just as mathematics are popularly suppos- ed to do. In fact, music is form of mathematics, consisting in division sof musical tones of al certain number or vibrations into certain lengths.
 A Bach fugue thereby becomes al- most as complicated an example as an algebra;ca1 question, and furnishes the same-anG much more pleasant mental exercise than does the solving of the equation.
 Then history, literature mythology, and the study of languages enters into the study of particularly vocal music, ! Familiarity with that music related to certain historical epochs, or various pathological or legendary episodes, begets also a Knowledge of these re- Lated facts, ana lnciG entally the broad 9eped mental viewpoint which natur- ally follows the acquisition of more knowledge,
 So the music lesson. while of ad- mitted value in itself as one feature of a liberal education, has much more comprehensive influence upon the student than merely to make him 7 onusjcaily pyodcient

ALL EXPORT RECORDS BROKEN

American exports have finally pass Qk the half-billion month mark. Sta t'stics issued by the Bureau of For eign md Domestic Commerce, of the Department of Commerce, show that the exports fer August amounted to
 s510, 100000, which is not only the rec ord for this country, but for all coun-
 tries. It is s35 100000 higher than
 the previous high record, which was established in May, and $45,OOO, 900
 higher than the June total.
 Imports, on the other hand, showed
 decrea se for August, the total being
 s199. .247,591. This is a decline of s47:; | 100000 as compared with June, the
 record month It is greater than the
 total for any previous August how
 ever. The exports for the year ended August totaled $4,750,0OO,OOO and the imports $2,300,0 900, both totals
 being far in advance of those for a
 similar period in any previous year. The favorable trade balance for August was 311 million dollars. com
 raring with an export balance of 113
 millions in August, 1915. and an i'm port balance of 19 million in August, 1914. For the. 12 months to August 31, 1916, the export balance was 2 = 465 million dollars, as against 1,36S
 million in the preceding year and 374 million two years ago.
 The net inward gold movement for the month of August was 29 million and for the year 40 million dollars a re cord total. Last year the net in- ward gold movsInent was 146 million ard two years agC, q net outward movement of 95 million. Gold inn

Stigmatizes Those Who Crit icise President or the Law, As Insincere or Incompe- tent.

The utter falsity as well as the par tisan unfairness of the recent Repub- lican attacks upon the Child Labor Law, participated in by Candidate Hughes as well as by his campaign managers, is demonstrated in a signed statement of Albert B. Cummings, the distinguished Republican United States Senator of Iowa, made public to-day.
 Characterizing the alleged discovery by Chairman Wilcox of the Republi- can National Committee of a "joker'' in the Child Labor Law as without any foundation whatsoever,S and stig- matizing the persons who have been giving them publicity as either insin- cere or incompetent" Senator Cum mings riddles the preposterous claims of both MT. Hughes and his campaign managers and declares the Child Labor Law1as enacted by Congress and signed by President Wilson is certain to "ef- fectuate the humane purposes toward which the friends of child labor legis- lation have for long time been striv- ing.'
 The partisan attack upon this mea- sure was first given publicity in an authorized statement by Chairman Wilcox, who astounded the friends of child labor reform by characterizing the Democratic measure as "a fraud and a sham" Candidate Hughes not only countenanced this deliberate mis- representation by his campaign man. agers, but in a speech at Milwaukee sought himself to belittle and discred- it the law. Upon that occasion he said in part:
 Our opponents claim to have eman- cipated child labor. As a body, they have not emancipated child labor. If our opponents are genuinely devoted to the interests of children let them act in States under their control and there will be no child labor problem in the United States
 Senator Cummings statement IS not only a complete answer to these Re publican attacks but is timely and stern rebuke to those responsible TOT giving them publicity. His views are set forth in a letter to Owen R. Love- jov. General Secretary of the National Child Labor Committee, written Sept. 23d and made public to-day. The Senator's letter follows:

SENATOR CUMMINGS, REPUBLICAN, DENIES THERE IS A "J0KER" IN
 CHILD LABOR LAW JUST ENACTED

Labor Law claim to have discovered joker or tokers in the Act which re- fleet upon either the integrity or intel ligence of those who are responsible for its passage. These criticisms are without any foundation whatsoever and the persons who are giving them publicity are either insincere or in- competent.
 The Child Labor Law received in the Senate Committee and on the floor of the Senate the most exhaustive con- sideration and those of us who were for it employed the utmost care to ex- clude every possible objection to its validity consistent with its effective ness. All of us understood that there was in the bill a serious constitutional question which could not be avoided and which could be answered conclu- sively only by the Supreme Court of the United States, but in other res poets the Act is, believe, without flaw.
 ''If Republicans are making any such charge against the law in order to discredit the administration, the effort is disreputable and must react upon those who are foolish enough tq give currency to the charge. If Demt ocrats are endeavoring to impeach the good faith of the Republicans who helped to compose and pass the bill they are guilty of fragrant offense against public morals.
 Assuming that the Supreme Court decides, if the question ever reaches that tribunal, that Congress can regu- late interstate commerce in this way the Act will be found so effective that it will end for all time the employment of children under conditions forbidden in the statute. The claim, if it is made, that the prohibition of the stat ute can be evaded by retaining the output of a mine, quarry, mill, can nery, workshop, factory or manufac- turing establishment for thirty days after children have been employed, and that then the output may be ship ped from the state of production to some other state, is too absurd for consideration. With rare exceptions these industrial establishments are continuous in their operation and the notion that they can be so organized as to employ children in a prohibited way one month and then discuss them and run a month without children. af- ter which the output of the previous month will be shipped and then re- employ children for another month and so on ad infinitum, it is supremely ludicrous." It was absolutely nec- essary to fix a time. otherwise child once improperly employed in any es- tablishment would end forever the right of the establishment to shin its
