BITTER DEBATE N
HOUSE OVER CHILD
LABOR LEGISLATION
SEVERAL SOUTHERN MEMBERS
ARE VIGOROUS IN THEIR
OPPOSITION.
"DRUNaEN DADDIES" ARE FLAYtD
Held Responsible For The Working OF
So Many Little Ones In the Facto-
ries of the county-Fiends Of Meas
ure Score.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The Keat
ing child labor bill, designated to pro-
hibit the interstate shipment of goods
manufactured by children under six
item years of age, was debated for
six hours Wednesday in the house,
southern members particularly offer.
ing strenuous opposition to the meas.
ure. The debate was not concluded,
although the house sat an hour past
the usual time for adjourning, and the
measure will be taken up for unlimit-
ed argument next Wednesday.
Representatives Howard Of Georgia
and Shirley of Kentucky, were the
only southerners supporting the bill.
Mr. Shirley spoke only Of the consti-
tutional questions involved, but Mr..
Howard swept aside constitutional ar
guments and laid the blame for much
of the child labor in the south on
"trafficking no account, drunken dad.
dies" He declared that it was the
duty of the whole country to protect
their children.
"The astounding thing to me is that
there is any necessity for this law, "
he said. Talk to me about protect
ing the children of the south from
mill owners! The mill owners of the
south are not the only people who are
willing to deprive the child of the
south of a chance in life. Traficking,
no account drunken daddies are as
much to blame for conditions in the
south as they are in any other section
of the country. They have large fam
lilies, five, six or seven children; they
aer on farm and theyare not willing
to make a living by the sweat Of their
face, and so they move to a mill town
and put innocent little children in
pawn that they may live in idleness.
And there is not man from the south
or from any other section Of the coun-
try that does not know that this is
true"
Mr.. Towards address was vigorous
ly applauded and many members left
their seats to congratulate him.
Fight over Measure.
Besides oratory the measure pro-
duced a procedure fight that ran the
session an hour beyond the regular
time and threatened a night meeting.
Mr.. Heating sought and finally won
the fight to proceed with unlimited
debate on the bill next Wednesday.
Opponents of the bill tried to tie his
hands by having the house adjourn,
but the motion was defeated 234 to "a.

Three Good Road Institutes, or Con.
ferences of Road Officials, as they are
called, will be held in Tennessee dur
ing the month of February. The first
will be held at Knoxville. February Is
to IL, the second at Nashville, FebYu-
airy 20 to rs, and the third at Jackson.
February 20 to March 3. The confer
ences will be held under the diree-
ton of the State Department of High
ways, with the cooperation of the
University Of Tennessee and the U. q.
Office Of Public Roads.
Each county in the section Of the
state in which the conference is held
is urged to send ct least one road
official to the conference and as many
others as can attend. All parties In
terested in better roads are invited to-
attend the conference, and it is hoped
that as many as possible will avafI
themselves Of this opportunity to hear
the best experts on road building and
maintenance discuss the various fear
lures of the work.
Among the speakers who will dis
cuss the road work at these confer
ences are A. D. Williams, State High
way Commissioner of West Virginia;
W. s. Keller, State Highway Engineer
of Alabama; Robert c. Terrell, Stats
Highway Commissioner Of Kentucky;

problems in their respective counties.
Through all these discussions it is the
expectation of the Department of High
ways that great deal of good will be
accomplished for the roads of the
state.
Similar conferences have been held
in nearly every state for several years.
In many states the county authorities
authorize the attendance of their road
officials and the county pays the ex
penses The opinion has been ex-
pressed in many instances that the
county saved money by sending their
officials to these conferences in view
of the fact that they learned enough to
save the county more in one year than
the expense of the trip.
The conferences will be under tho
direct charge of Prof Ferris and all
who contemplate attending the confer
ences should communicate with him

RABIES AND DOGS.

co,ne lime ago two conspicuous so-
 tr men made bet. It was Iangbable matter at the time. Since .be . bet has been decided it points to
 social survey and to state of af- Soirs that may well be condoned.
 prseeu G. Colt bet Herman Ger Eobs that they would find more dogs than babies at Palm Beach.
 pussel G. Colt is the husband of Ethel Barrymore, a noted society looder and incidentally the father of four children. Ethel Barrymore loves tbe stage She is a child of the thea +or but the love of motherhood was creater than the love of the theatre, and she did not permit her theatrical instincts to interfere with her mater nal responsibilities. Herman Ger lcbs is also noted society man of New York and Newport. In making tbe bet Colt spoke from the stand point of a family man; Oerlichs as an dealist and also a family man who bet to disprove the race suicidal opin- ion.
 The result was that in the social colony of Palm Beach they found four pet dogs to one baby.
 More than this, they discovered that in the fashionable apartment section an apartment might be se- cured providing there were no chil- dren to occupy it. You might bring all the dogs you liked, but no babies.
 This moved Mayor Pagan to have enacted city ordinance revoking the liquor license of all apartment houses declining to receive babies.
 The bet started as a joke. It re- suited in a revelation. It discovered a situation that may be found not only at Palm Beach but in other cities and social centers.
 Landlords are consistent in fashion able sections in opposing the intro ducton of babies.
 It is a sad thought that the little innocents who are to become the men and women of the future are less ac- ceptable than dogs.
 Babies are troublesome at times. Among the real women of the world babies are priceless jewels. They are Gods gift to woman.
 The fact that in our higher circles of society there is a growing ten deney to raise dogs instead of babies does not speak we'll for the moral fiber of the upper ten.
 It is not true in all cases, but the fact remains undisputed that dogs are in many cases preferred to babies and the doors of fashionable apart ment houses are gradually being closed to fashionable families, who have followed natures mandate and have brought children into the world.
