Brothers Car for Long Distance
Work Under All Conditions.

The stamina and touring ability of
the Dodge Brothers car has been well
evidenced during 4 trip which is just
being completed by j. C. Marshall. of
Oakland, Cal.
Early in the summer Mr.. Marshall
and three friends, left Oakland in a
Dodge Brothers touring car with
only standard equipment. The party
crossed Death Valley and proceeded
across the continent to Detroit, which
was reached on August 3. After visit
ing the Dodge plant they crossed over
into Canada and toured to Toronto
and from there to the Owen Sound
region.
The party is now on the way back
Sending word to Dodge Brothers
plant from St. Louis, Mr.. Marshall
said:
1--WE have had a most enjoyable
time and the car has done far more
than was expected of it. We had no
trouble crossing the Great American
Desert and we came through mud
and water in Nebraska that would try
any car. As we have been travelling
for pleasure no effort has been made
to establish any time records but our
daily runs have averaged high
throughout the trip. Three punctur-
es is the sum total of the trouble we
have had this far and we have aver
aged 1872 miles per gallon of gas on
the entire tour"

Upon what ground do those laws firmly

Upon what ground do those laws firmly
stand?
Upon the ground of PUBLIC POLICY.
Yet they discriminate against race and
color!
If Florida has not the power to draw the
color line in all her schools, public and pri-
vate, from whence does she derive the power
to draw the color line in marriages?
While Judge Gibbs was so diligently hunt
and while he was interpolating the word
"public" into the statute he might much
more nationally, have construed the 14th
Amendment to the United States Constitu-
ton, In accordance Nth the truth of history.
The purpose Of that Amendment was, to
prohibit legislation which Disseminated
against black people because they were black
Literally translated the 18th Amendment
means:
"Don't put on the negro any lar echjch
does not apply equally to the aohites."
The Florida statute conforms to the 18th
Amendment, absolutely, for 1t places the same
disabilities upon achite teachers, as upo7,
W0chS
Consequently, it does not violate funda-
mental principle, any more than does the law
which forbids miscegenation.
According to the reasoning Of Judge Gibbs,
no State has the power to limit the age at
which a child shall work in factory, be-
cause such law restricts the child in it's
liberty and pursuit of happiness
According to this extraordinary Gibbs, any
boy, or girl, eight years old, may slave in
mill, foundry, mine and factory, in pursuit
of its happiness.
The State can't interpose, and snatch the
child from corporation greed, because such
interposition would be discrimination, for
hidden by the 18th Amendment.
BY the laws of nature, and of the Consti-
tuition, any child, at any age-its parents con-
senting has the right to doom itself to pre-
mature disease and death, by working in
cotton mill or ceal mine but the State, as
a matter of public policy, steps in, and de
MES to the parent and to the child the liberty
of booming the little ones.
According to the logic of Judge Gibbs,
these Child Labor laws are all n-Constitu-
tional; and the State is powerless to prevent
rapacious corporations from destroying the
seed corn Of the future-the children.
Judge Gibbs decision is not good law. On
the contrary, it's ridiculous.
Evidently, he made up his mind first, and
then scratched around trying to find excuses.
