THE CHILD LABOR BILL.

There are many good things 10 say
for the child labor bill, which has sud-
denly become an issue with the admin
istration, as we'll as some criticisms.
but the opposition Of Southern Scna-
tors 10 the measure is not based on
anything except that it is an Invasion,
Of the old Democratic principle Of
States rights. Traditionally. the Dem.
ocrats have been the states rights
party, and federal child labor law.
based on the commerce clause OF the
federal constitution, means federal in
PREVENTION in a field of local legisla
ton always in the past reserved eA.
clusively 10 the several states. These
Senators then are candidly ignoring
the platform Of their party that is a
little over month old, which says,
we favor the enactment Of an effec-
tive federal child labor law Do the
Southern representatives in Congress
mean to say they favor law with the
reservation, so long as it does not in.
terfere with States rights? This
is certainly an inopportune time TO at
tempt TO revive a question that was
settled at Appomattox. There was
also involved in that contest the ques-
ton Of slave labor, which in some
aspects bears strong relation TO child
labor.
The strongest feature Of the child
labor bill is that which seeks to pro.
tect the child in its physical rights,
and, just as important, in its hight to
an education. 1t is a crime 10 deprive
any boy or girl of an education they
are entitled to. The employment of
children in any work that deprlves them
OF ordinary schooling is Withholding
something from. them that will affect
their lives as injuriously as stunning
their physical development. No child
in this country should be allowed 20
grow up in ignorance.
But the Inquiry intrudes. what good
effect would a federal child labor law
have in those States that do not have
compulsory education laws. What
would be the moral advantage in TAX
ing children out OF cotton factories if
! they were not compelled TO attend
school?
Another feature connected with this
bill Is the residents eleventh.hout
endorsement Of II, and his anxiety for
its passage. We believe even the ship
purchase bill has sunk into insignin-
canoe compared TO the importance of
the child. labor measure. The Presi'
dent is great politician, and political
expediency is as lamp to his feet at
this juncture in his career.

soRELY DISAPPOINTED.

81 The Democrats are going into the
campaign this. year in West Virginia
under the same revivifyinS circun-
stances that have characterized their
hopes of success in the Quadrennial
: elections for the past sixteen years,
and, as the Huntington Herald-Dls-
Z hatch points out with neat discern

the same disappointment. Speaking

The pressure which has been
cxrrtcd upon the British govern
ment in The House Of Commons
for an explicit statement on the
the progress of events in Meso-
potamla is based upon apprehen-
sions born OF political as we'll as
military facts.
The main military fact Is that,
following upon the capture of
Genreal Townshend and his ten
thousand at kut-el-Amara. last
April, the British forces on the
Tigris have been subjected 10 a
series OF minor misfortunes which
seriously menace the future OF the
British campaign In that region.
The main political fact Is suggest

the Russian ARMIES east and north
east OF Bagdad. The primary OBJ
iective of the British expedition

In spite OF the valuable aid
which Russia is giving TO the En-
'tente on both great fronts IN Eu-

So. when the Russians last

tariff-for-revenue-only principle Is de-
Tended as justification Of Democratic
economic policies. That in itself is
enough TO warn any Vster of the pre-
tensions of the Democrats.
The best exposition Of the duplicity
Of the Democrats, however. comes
from a very good Democratic author
ity, W. ]. Bryan, who in signed r'l;'
torial in The Commoner, admits the
sham 1t is certainly refreshing 10

mission pleases a certain element and
does no harm. It's tendency is to post

be deceptive. He admits that the only
purpose Is 10 afford an excuse for
maintaining the present Underwood
rates. We have ample warning OF
what is likely to happen at the end OF
the war. Other countries are prepar-
ing against an inundation Of cheap eX-
ports. The United States cannot az
ford TO trust its interests 10 such a
mble-rigging; false pretcnse party as
Mr.. Bryan admits the Democratic party
TO be. The only course of safety lies
in the election to power of the Repub,-
can party, which believes in a pro
tective tariff and will provide an ample
one at once.
