A Daniel Comes To
Judgment and May Heaven
Help the Children

The Keating-Owen federal child labor
law prohibits employing any child under
IA in any factory whose products are
to be shipped in interstate commerce.
1t also forbids children II to Is to
work longer than eight hours,
1t is a good law. It's purpose is per
fectly plain.
II is intended to throw the mantle OF
protection about little ones not safe
guarded by their own states.
1t was fought in the senate by reac-
tionaries from Pennsylvania and the
cotton-spinning states of the South.
The first formal court attack upon it's
validity took place in North Carolina
where children over y have a PER
Feet RIGHT to work IL hours per day.
The case came before Federal Judge
BOYD of the western district of North
Carolina, one Of the crustacean surviyals
of an elder day He is y, and his think
ing belongs to a past, dark and an an
progressive age.
He is apparently convinced that par
ents have a full right to say when and
where child shall work; that a child
has an inalenable right to work; and
that when we try by law to improve
mankind, we should not invade amily
rights.
You can still further place Boyd by.
remembering that in the palmy days Of
Mark Hanna. who hated progressive
laws, as he did poison, Boyd became an
assistant attorney general of the United
States and since 1900 has been federal
district judge.
Boyd, insofar as he was able, has
knocked out the federal labor law He
has called it unconstitutional and enjoin-
ed its enforcement in the western dis
trict of North Carolina.
He held congress could regulate trade
among the states, but not the internal
conditions of labor.
This will bring great rejoicing to the
North Carolina mill owners, where so
many men called for the draft were re-
jected because Of physical defects sown
in their youth in their slavery in the
mills.
Cotton spinning is the great industry
in western North Carolina, largely built
up, thanks to the barbarous laws of the
state, on the frail bodies of little chill
dren.
AS a result of his decision Judge Boyd
will have the satisfaction of knowing
that in the Greensboro region when the
morning whistle blows no child between
IL and IA will be compelled to lie abed
when the factory is just over the way
waiting for his labor.
The federal law viii have been made
a nullity until the supreme court passes
upon it.
OF course, the little boys and girls
may think it would be better TO sleep
little longer.
They may think it better TO 20 TO
school a few years more during the win
ter seasons.
They may even, preternaturally wise,
think they would have a better chance
of being strong men and women. and not
tubercular folk, if they could just have
playtime instead Of a premature work
time.
The thoughts of the little white slaves
will probably be long and bitter, bitter
thoughts
But then they are only children. They
don't know what is good for them.
But Judge Boyd knows what is good
for them.
He has shown it by his wise decision.

Rodman Road Contract Let.

At a recess meeting of the county
commissioners on Saturday the vote
of the special district bond election
for the Rodman-O Orange Springs dis
trct was canvassed. The vote was
unanimous for the bonds. The con-
tract for building the road was let
to the Cornwall Construction Compa-
ny of Tampa. The road is after plans
made by Frank J. Pagan, civil engi-
neer, and probably one of the very
best men in his line in all Florida.

Bids for the construction of the pro-
posed road over the peninsula from
Dunn's Creek to the Volusia county
line were opened in the presence of
Messrs. Tillinghast, Mcleod, Will
Jams, Ring and Glynn, members of the
local committee from that district
Owing to the altitude of the bids
opened the committee agreed that it
would be inadvisable to attempt to
bond at this time and the matter was
held in allegiance. The bids were all
rejected.

School Bonds Jeopardized

East Palatka and ORANGE Mil,
citizens presented a petition to ths
county school board on Tuesday for y
dissolution of the present Palatka
special tax school district, of which
district these precincts have formed
a part. The petition will not be art
ed on until the regular meeting on
June 18th.
The petition contains 25 per cent Of
the voters of the district; that it was
originally pushed with a view to
breaking up the proposed Palatka new
school bond election is believed bv
many. The board will ieopardise
this bond proposition if it accepts
and acts on the petition, or if it de-
MES it. If acted on favorablv if will
defer the calling of the bond election
until after this matter has been dis
posed of. The people on the east
side of the river want to form a sep
arate district.
Anything that will put off the cleo
tlon for bonds to build a new school
in Palatka is unfortunate. This
town needs the new school and needs
it badly.
The bids for a new school at Bost-
wick were not accepted as the board
considered them too high

WAR BREAD
NOT FAR OFF
Will Be Next Step in Conserving the
Wheat Supply

War bread, not only for those vol
unteering to do their bit, but for ev-
eryone in the United States, now
looms up as prospect in the near flu
ture as the final step in saving wheat
for the army and allies in Europe.
While the "wheatless day are being
more generally observed and are re-
sulting in large savings of wheat
flour, still not enough wheat is be-
ing conserved to fill out the meager
surplus the United States had out of
this years crop available for export
abroad. The wheatless days are to be
continued, no matter what new regu-
lations the food administration may
find necessary to make. The public is
going to be urged even more strongly
to join in and do its individual bit by
observing at least one wheatless day a
week or one wheatless meal each day
every week. Meanwhile, however,
representatives of the food admins
tration are known to be studying over
and working out the possibilities of
war bread Persons familiar with the
situation say an announcement of war
bread regulations may be expected
before the first of the year.
Several plans for war bread" are
being gone over. There is always
the possibility of having the millers
grind larger percentage of wheat
into the flour The United States uses
q smaller percentage of the berry in
wheat flour than any other nation at
war. The rest of the berry is not |
lost, but makes a valuable foodstuff |
for animals as bran. The plan that
is being most seriously considered is
the use of corn meal mixed with the
flour, one-ffth part corn meal and
four-fifths wheat -four
When war bread comes, it won't be
optional. The millers, both corn and
wheat, are under government license
and can be required TO mill standards
fixed by the government. That would
mean the only flour available would be
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1917-12-06

the "war flour" fixed by the govern
ment. Rich and poor alike would be
affected by it.
Practical problems in milling and
mixing have to be worked out and
gone into carefully, and these phases
of the war bread situation are being
gone into carefully now, pending a
final decision on the necessity of the
United States in relieving the situa-
ton in Europe

"Offcials of the women's committee,

tration will be recognized as the only
official registration, all other listings,
such as clubs, colleges and churches,
are to be called enrollments.
"The woman's offer Of service,
whether paid or unpaid, is absolutely
voluntary. The woman who has so
many crowded duties at home that
she has no time to give to outside
services, or the woman who has not
the duties, but does not care to offer
service, or the woman who has al
ready assumed all the service she can
give, is perfectly protected by the
manner in which she is entered on the
registration card. She will not be
called on for any service whatsoever,
il is announced.
"The women who must receive pay
for her service, in business or indus

woman offering unpaid service, it is
said. The point which Mrs. Hays
wishes to drive home is that the regis

Blanks are furnished to fill out, in
which are given information con-

speak to me. I gave him no encOur-
agement, however, and I knew be-
tween us we were giving a rotten per-

Il was not sure whether JEFF, Alma

fool not to marry jeff PerTygreen;
then I could not help smiling bitter

Yes, I knew she had come I an
swered. Did she tell you met her
and the darling baby as I was leav-
ing the theater after the matinee?'
Yes, but she said you hurried
away as though you did not care to
ak to her.
% Now look here, Ruth, said, L
want you to tell your sister every
Thing. You can tell her if you wish,
how infatuated 1 was with her hus-
band, but you must also tell her I
have not spoken to him except on
the stage since I knew he was mar
ried. Tell her I thought his love talk
meant honorable marriage. Tell her
also I would leave the company to-
morrow, only do not know where l
could get another engagement in the
middle Of the season, and l must act
to be able to eat.
