CHILD LVB0R LAW TO
Be ENFORCED SOON

Washington d. C., Oct. 2
The National Child Labor Com
mittee has issued protest
against current statements to the
effect that the recently passed
federal child labor law is a
fraud" and a Joker" 1--WE
hope no one will be misled by
these rumors," says Owen r.
Lovcjoy, General Secretary of the
National Child Labor Committee.
"The bill was carefully drawn
and thoroughly considered. 1t
was not jammed through Con-
gress but has been pending three
years. 1t is significant that both
Democrats and Republicans were
well represented on the Senate
Committee that passed on the fl
nal form of the bill, that both
Democrats and Republicans stood
solidly for it in this form, and
that when the roll cali was taken
only two Rcpublicans-Oliver
and Pcnrose-and ten Democrats
all Southerners-voted against
it. If the law is a gold brick,
both parties made the brick and
the attempt to use it as cam
paign material is absurd The
law is as alright as a law can
be. The thirty-day clause which
has been attacked as Joker does
not relate to shipments in inter
state commerce but to removal
from the factory, and was inteded
chiefly to prevent evasion of the
law by the storage of child-made
goods in a warehouse. 1t was
necessary furthermore, because
without it manufacturer who
once employed child labor would
find his goods debarred forever
from interstate commerce, even
though his child employees were
discharged. 1t has been suggest
ed that some thrifty manufactur-
er may try to run the Government
blockade with shipments OF goods
in thirty day lots, hiring and fir
ing his children SO as to evade the
law, but we believe that such a
manufacturer would be an abnor-
mally determined employer of
children-for employers have
been telling us for many years
that they do not want to employ
children but are forced to do SO
by competition with other child
employers-and would soon call
himself to the attention of a pub
lie that has already clearly signi-
fed its objection to the existence
of child labor. The federal child
labor law was framed by the best
constitutional lawyers in the
country; it was passed by Con
gress that had given it close at
tention; and we of the National
Child Labor Committee believe
that, whether the next President
be Mr.. Wilson or Mr.. Hughes,
the child labor law can and will
be enforced in accordance with
the will of the American people. -

ROSE DENIES ANY
VIOLATION OF Law

Down at the police station this
morning little storm is brewing over
certain remarks involving the police
which were made at the supervisors
meeting last night, chief among which
was the statement by Supervisor Lar
sen to the effect that the head OF the
police department was a yiolator of
the automobile laws by not properly
frosting his auto headlights.
: The sheriff merely puts sapolio on
his auto globes and this is nearly
rubbed off. said Larsen.
This morning the sheriff was care
full TO show a reporter the exact con-
dition OF the globes, explaining that
they were not whitewashed, but
dipped in acid. and although one did
look bit ragged, the sheriff insisted
that it was a good DINNER.
Larsen hasn't any room to talk
about violating traffic laws, said
Rose. "and If everyone who drives a
car in Honolulu followed the ordt
nances as closely as / there would be
fewer accidents"

House Guests from Ell Pa
Conway Again.

Iii is beyond doubt that the choice
of voters the of Santa Fe county for
superintendent of county schools
is John V. Conway. His activi-
ties and his tireless energy in the
direction of school work has left
its impress and one cannot make
a trip through the county with
out noticing the monuments of
Conway in the neat and new
school buildings that are scattered
here and there which were not to
be seen before the interest arous-
ed by John Conway's enthusiasm
brought about the change. 1t is
to be doubted if there is a county
school superintendent in the
state who gives to his office the
time and earnest endeavors that
is given by the official of this
county. 1t is to be hoped that
the nominating convention will
renominate John V. Conway, and
if this is done, it will meet the
