When Summers Gone

The summers come an gone ag'in
Jest like picture show;
We thought along the July days
Perhaps 'twould never go.
Now here we be, right into fall
With frosty nights an cold;
The grass down in the medder's
brown,
The hillsides red an gold.
This is the melancholy time
OF year, the poets say;
But thet is on'y jest becuz
The summers passed away,
There is a wall now through the trees
Where Yesterday was song;
That is becuz the limbs are bare,
An summers passed along.

CHILD LABOR BILL
Is UP IN SENATE
Hardwick of Georgia Leads At
tack Upon JonstitutionaGty
of Measure.
HOLDS ISSUE FOR STATES

Washington, Aug. 4.-The child la
Dor bill, on which debate began in the
senate yesterday, was up again today
with southern senators ready to start
a fight on its constitutionality. Sen
ator Robinson, presenting the meas
ure yesterday, argued that scrutiny
had showed the bill constitutional, be-
cause the regulation Of child labor
was proposed through prevention OF
interstate shipment Of child labor
products. The power Of congress to
regulate commerce is absolute, he
commended.
The bill will be kept before the
senate until passed. There is no re-
publican opposition.
Hardwick of Georgia led off
attack on the constitutionality OF the
measure, contending the right to en-
act such legislation was vested only
in the states. The Georgia senator
also pointed out that the senate bill
in his judgment far exceeds the limits
set down by congress and the SD.
preme court in the lottery statute
which proponents Of the measure sci
up in defense of its constitutionality
and after which it was patterned.
THE bill as it passed the house,
said Senator Hardwick," would ex'
clude from interstate commerce the
specific product OF child labor. The
senate amendment not only would ex.
cludc from commerce the direct prod,
uct OF child labor, but also any Other
commodity produced by any man oil
corporation who does not live up tc
q rule of civil conduct to be laid down
by congress.
II do not wish to be misunderstood
in this natter said he. II am al
thoroughly as earnestly sincire in ia
vor OF enactment OF just, reasonable
humane and God-like laws for pro.
lection Of children as any man in thi.
chamber, but ! say that the sole pow
er to enact such laws is invested II

in congress. / venture the assertion
that the state OF Georgia today ha.
