SAVING CHILDHOOD

A provision heavily taxing inter-
state sales of goods produced by child
labor has passed the Senate, say dis
patches from Washington.
The measure is designed to replace
the child-labor law which was recent
ly held unconstitutional.
So long as the prohibition of child
labor was undertaken by individual
states, it was argued that manufac-
turers in other states would have an
unfair advantage. Attacking the prob
lem with a nationwide measure ends
the validity of this argument, and is
real step toward the desired end.
The next succeeding step. assuming
the present measure becomes law.
would be the adoption Of child labor
laws applying within the individual
states which are not yet in line. This,
of course, can only be done by those
states themselves, but can hardly be
far in the future.

A MEXICAN SOLUTION

Dispatches from the Mexican border
say a peacable solution of Mexico's
troubles may be in sight. We are
hopeful, but doubtful.
Apparently the solution consists in
gathering together all factions op-
posed to Carranza into an organiza-
ton so strong that he would obey
without resistance the suggestion to
get out.
1t is undoubtedly a step forward
when the forces of opposition will
combine instead of running their own
separate revolutions and. fighting each
other on the side. But what assur-
ance is there that the same plan will
not be tried on Carranza's successor,
whoever he may be?
The way to stable government is a
hard one for a country which has
had such experiences as those of Mex
leo in the recent years. That nation,
and especially some of the northern
states of Mexico, have gone a long
way forward, but the end is not yet.
The one thing that is certain is
that the Mexicans like any other peo-
pie in similar conditions, must work
out their own salvation. We can only
refrain from meddling in the interests
of reaction and offer what help we

GIVING UNTIL 1T FEELS GOOI

It's only when one gets the habit
of giving that he discovers how much
he is able to give.
Columbia and Boone COunty-and
all of the rest of the Nation, for that
matter-have been giving since the
war started. And yet there is not a
person in the county who would say
he had harmed himself by giving.
Two campaigns are occupying pub
lie attention at present-the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call, and the
canvass of the Charity Organization
Society. Both need help, in liberal
quantities, and the worthiness of
neither can be questioned. What more
is there to say?
If you haven't already responded to
both appeals, walk down to 1908
Broadway and enroll as a Red Cross
member. And then go to the Ex-
change National Bank and give your
charity donation to NJ. F. Thurston.
