MAKING FARM INTERESTING.

be released from school duties and
win spend several months at home,
says the Kansas Industrialist. The

attractive as do the less busy days of

IT'S CONSTITUTIONAL.

Among the more vigorous and In
sistent of the protests made against
the Keating child labor bill is the one
based on the premise that the measure
is unconstitutional. But the senate
committee on interstate commerce,
which has had the bill under consid
Grafton ever since it passed the house
of representatives, is of a different
opinion. In its recent report urging
the passage of the bill it declares the
legislation not only to be reasonable
and necessary but also constitutional.
In summarizing the committees views,
the report says:
1.-The committee feels not only that
the constitutionality of the bill is JUS
titled by the decisions cited, but that
its enactment is demanded by the
practical inability on the part of the
states so to Iegislate as to completely
and effectively stamp out what is
rightfully considered to be a national
evil. So long as there is a single
state which for selfish or other rea-
sons fails to enact effective child labor
legislation, it is beyond the power of
every other state to protect effectively
its own producers and manufacturers
against what may be considered un-
fair competition of the producers and
manufacturers of that state, or to pro-
tect its consumers against unwittingly
patronlzing those who exploit the
childhood of the country. This is
true because the states have delegated
to congress the power to regulate in
terstate commerce, and have thus de-
prived themselves of the power to
prohibit the sale within their own bor-
ders of products of child labor in 9TH
er states"
This report is so concise and strong
that it should do great deal to prove
to the senate that the Keating bill
must not be showed under by the pre-
paredness and other big issues In
deed, it appears evident that the COM
mittee on interstate commerce has
taken this opportunity to remind the
senate that child labor legislation is in
itself a preparedness measure, for the
report says in SO many words, "The
evidence is overwhelming that unregu-
lated child labor does not promote a
healthy citizenship, that it tends to the
deterioration of the race physically.
When we are dealing with such a sub
ject as the protection of children from
the known consequences of child labor.
we are dealing with a helpless class
of our population whose neglect de-
feats the very success of democracy
