Killing the Future

President Wilson. whose insistence
brought about the passage of the child
labor law which the Supreme Court re-
Gently declared unconstitutional, is re-
ported from Washington to be urging the
men who worked for that measure to
attempt another which shall stand the
test of the courts. He is said to believe
that now, more than ever before, protec-
ton by Federal statute is needed for the
children Of the nation, to prevent their
exploitation by unscrupulous employers
and ignorant parents, hardpressed by
the tremendous cost of living.
The need is patent enough. The tremen-
dous demand for labor is taking women
into kinds Of work hitherto attempted
only by men, and wherever child skill and
child strength may compass it. and state
laws do not prevent. boys and girls arc
taking the places OF women or ave being
broken in to manufsct curing processes for
which they had not been thought Of be-
fore. Hard work and long hours are
their portion. With school vacations at
hand thousands not NOW employed will
enter mills and factories. 1t is the en-
pcrience of school authorities that Of
children who go into the factory in the
summer vacation the percentage which
fails to return to school is dangerously
high. This year it bids fair to be higher
than ever, for even q child's wages make
an addition to the family income which
cannot be despised when food costs have
been skyrocketing for many months
Thus, many parents who might be willing
enough to have their children in school
will be under strong pressure to continue
them, or to let them continue, in the mills
when school reopers.
What this means for the young and
for the nation cannot be overstated.
For the children il means stunted bodies,
dwarfed minds and future of dull,
grinding toll, because they will have po-
tentialties for nothing else Their tut
ure will have been killed in their youth.
For the nation it means that the genera

United States must depend for its work.

DC seriously handicapped. A consider
able portion Of that generation will be
far below par, unequipped in body and
brain to grapple with the big problems
life will put up to it. The nation will
suffer in quality and quantity Of it's work
exactly in proportion as the children now

Future action will depend upon the
Hearst people themselves. Even yet their
attitude is not all that could be desired.

lori American said editorially, in part:
1--WE have nothing but the friendlest

much more like Americans than like Eng

manders in chief have picked them out for
every particularly bloody and hazardous bit

like water while carefully keeping Eng

An even more vengeful attitude vas
shown by "Thc New York Evening Journal"
which, in it's issue Of November II, referred
to the arrangement by the United States
government for free carriage Of local coun-
try newspapers, and added:
Canada utilizcs this generous arrange
ment for her selfish purposes and in doing
so not only swindlcs the United States

With What
Means?

What arc the winning factors? The sub
marine is still serious, but there is no
chance of its being decisive. In the race
between sinkings and construction the lat
ter has won.
Next, on the Western front, the blow has
been terrible but American troops have
turned the scale, and both Italy and France,
though suffering heroically, are safe.
Also, chemistry is game that two can
play at. and Germany has reason to an
tcipate terrible retribution, in which the
punishment Will fit the crime. Air raids
also no longer one-sided compliments.
There, also, one bad turn deserves another
AS to food, clothing and finance it is
clear that. however serious may be the
sacrifices OF your European allies, they do
not approach what the Central Powers, with
Turkey and Bulgaria, have to face In cas-
uaities, also. grave as the losses suffered
to-day, especially by Britain, we have the
plain fact that Germany, with equal and
possibly greater losses, has no reservoir Of
new troops comparable with the American
expeditionary force. Indeed, she is losing
man power by the defeat Of Austria Hun
gary, the disatfecton OF Poles, Slavs and
Bulgarians and the growing revolt against

THERE are many indications of opti-
mism in diplomatic quarters over the
prospects of the war. On the eve
Of President Wilson's speech the situation
is Of profound interest.
Imagine two chess players looking many
moves ahead One knows he can win. The
other has reluctantly to confess it. The
question therefore is to what point the
game shall be played out. That is the pre-
else position, and Germany is the pro-
spectivc loser.

that your pieces arc attacking strongly, and
that for some considerable time we must
lose piece for piece in the defence and sub
sequent counter attack. But you know as

The Moral
Price

There you have the preliminary condi-
tions to peace. If, however, Germany
wishes to be readmitted to the comfy of
nations, which means to raw materials, she
must accept international rules for her
army and navy and international arbitra
future between herself and her ne;ghbors.
In other words, precisely the same law will
apply to Germany that will be accepted by
other bellgercnts, including Great Britain.
The only difference will be that in Ger
mauy's definite guarantees viii be nee
cssary, while Great Britain may perhaps
be trusted without them.
To Emperor William these terms will
obviously seem repugnant But, however
long the war goes on, he will get none bet
ter, and with every month of fruitless nos
tlity the danger of revolution in Germany
when the men come home will be increased.
For the individual German family there
is nothing whatever in the above pro-
gramme which involves the slightest loss
of happiness or wellbeing II Germany
conquered the whole world it would merely
intensity the tyranny of her Junkers over
her civilian population at home. The his
tory Of Spain shows how golden Ell Dorados
abroad may be accompanied by grinding
poverty and decay at the heart of an en-
pire. The happiness of the average Ger
man depends upon the defeat OF the German

Hazy
Situations

The question Of reinstatement OF the
Hearst agencies and services in Canada is
one entirely within the jurisdiction of the
Ottawa government. SO far as can be
learned no frank application for reinstate-
ment Of any Of these services has been
made to the Canadian government, but for
months the Hearst interests have been
mobili2ing strong influences at Washington
and London, and through them have done
everything in their power to secure con-
cessions from Ottawa. Canadian Senators
and others have been approached. but so
far as is known the Hearst agents have
found little satisfaction in the Dominious
capital, or in any other part of Canada.
The people OF this country feel that they
do not need Hearst, and certainly thew do
not want him. They even reluctant to
tolerate him in order to be agreeable.
The situation in Canada is entirely diff
ferent from that in Great Britain An Ell
clent censorship is in operation over the
cables and all European news is carefully
scrutinized, but it is out of the question fo,
the DOMINION government effectively to
censor all land-wire communications The
writer is not in position to know tho
mind OF the Canadian Cabinet, but it nroh
ably has gone as far as it believes il won]d
be safe to go, in allowing correspondence
10 or from the Hearst services to be trans
mitted by mail in Canada
New-York tribune., 1918-07-04
Anxious
Inquiries

Soon after the United States entered the
war number Of inquiries were received by
officials at Ottawa as to whether the pro-
hibtion on Hearst papers snd other SER
vices would be cancelled Perhaps they
we're spontaneous, but one may be pardoned
for suspecting that some at least were in
spired. During recent months the Hearst
interests have been using every possible
influence in an eAort to secure rcinstate-
ment-and with some success.
it is understood that the British and
French governments consented to remove the
disabilities in order 10 make it possible for Il
correspondent Of that service to accompany
General Pershing and the United States
army in France. The matter was taken up
with the French government and the latter
was given written guarantees that the con-
duct of the I. N. S. would in future be un-
exceptionable. The British government
agreed to this arrangement, and the I. n. S.
has now been restored to the privileges in
Great Britain and France which it formerly
enjoyed.
Almost Immediately the suggestion was
made that the Canadian government should
follow the lead Of the mother country aud
grant reinstatement to the Hearst agencies.
Some months ago the !. N. S. people had
the efrontery to announce that such REIN
statement had already been accorded. 1t
was part of a cool, deliberate attempt to
stampede the Canadian authorities into
giving what Hearst wanted. 1t failed at
the time, but the Hearst organization WAS
prompt to realize that the action of the
British and French governments greatly
strengthened its hands so far as the
Canadian situation was concerned. SO con-
fdcnt, indeed, were tho Hearst interests
that Canada would follow at once the lead
Of the mother country that they actually
entered into arrangements With number
Of Canadian correspondents to run their
prohibited services. At least one Of these
correspondents continued to file press COPY
for several weeks in happy ignorance of
the fact that il got no further than the

Benjamin r. Tillman

benlamln h. llllman came into power
With symbol 1t was pitchfork. With
that humble instrument he pred away
the foundations of political and social
order which had existed in South Caro-
lima for many generations.
He was himself symbol. His first
candidacy for the Governorship rallied
the South Carolina "wool hats" against
the old aristocracy. The abolition Of
slavery and the effects of reconstruction
had been slowly sapping the power of the
patrician class. Tillman was one Of the
first TO see that the old order was dead
and that political control under the new
order must go to the poor whites, whom
the war had also set free
Hard times and low prices for cotton
only accelerated all inevitable revolution.
The Farmers Alliance movement had
stirred hitherto almost inarticulate ele-
ment to revolt. Tilman ceverly seized
the opportunity to overthrow the ancient
regime. He declared war on the old
families and the Confederate "briga-
diers.' AS Governor he succeeded Rich
elected Governor in 1840 and another
ELECTED Governor in 1902. He sent Irby,
a typical post-bellun, product, to the
United States Senate to succeed the ven
cradle Wade Hampton, South Caro)na's
most distinguished Confederate soldier.
He himself displaced the urbane and
courtly Matthew c. Butler, another war
nero.
Tillman made--or rather unmade-
history at home. At Washington he was
more of chip on the stream His ex-
travagances Of speech and manner made
him conspicuous in the Senate at time
when that body still maintained it's tradi-
ton Of dignity. But after Tilman came
other Populists, near-Populists and un-
conventionals of many stripes. His lack Of
moderation was tempered by theirs. 1t
is a proof of his capacity and Judgment
that he gradually sobered down into q
serious worker. He grew in steadiness
and influence. In the later stages of his
career he had mastered the details of
law-making and was promoted to posi-
tions of Importance. He made com
mendable record on the committees on
Naval Affairs and Appropriations, and
was chairman Of the Naval Affairs Com
mittee when he died
Times change. 1t is curious COM
mentary on Mr. Tillnan's once fierce
radicalism that he had been preparing to
stand for reelection as q conservative
against neo-radical like Cole Blease.
The South Carolina Senator once de-
scribed himself as a 'cornfield lawyer"
In that capacity, however, he didn't
shrink from crossing swords in debate
with astute and facie lawyers like John
c. Spooner. A tilt between Tillman and
Spooner was always treat. Everybody
enjoyed it. And Tillman didn't ALWAYS
come out second best.
South Carolina has sent MANY Sena-
tors OF high caibre to Washington. 1t
would be injudicious to give Tillman a
place in that galaxy. He was different.
Yet he had many virile qualities, and in
his own way he probably represented the
South Carolina of to-day as well as most
Of them had represented the other South
Carolina.
