Stopping Child Labor by Taxation.

Another attempt by Congress to de-
stroy child labor by federal statute is
urged by the New York state Repubh-
can platform, in spite of the United
States supreme courts recent decision in
validating the former statute on consti-
tutional grounds. The plank is undoubt-
eddy due to the women delegates aud TO
the woman chairman of the resolutions
committee and is striking manifesto
ton of the influence of the new women
voters in New York state.
Yet the plank is not drafted in ignor.
ance of constitutional law, and it is not
a deficance of the supreme court "NVe ia
yor,' ii reads, "the prompt passage by
the Congress of a law to prevent the use
of child labor so framed as to fall clearly
within the constitutional powers of Con-
gress to promote the general welfare and
to lay and collect taxes" The law multi.
fed by the court was based on the con
stitutional power of Congress to regulate
interstate commerce.
The new federal legislative movement
against child labor in the states will evi.
IDENTIFY be based upon the federal power
of taxation. This means the leyying of
a federal excise tax on employers who
hire children under a certain age, the in
tent being to make the tax so high as
to render child labor Improbable. The
project Is promising and, with the presi-
dent committed to a federal child labor
law by the statute nullifed by the court,
Congress should get to work before long
on new measure.
The court would have difficulty in
overthrowing statute on the lines pro-
posed, if it should use reasoning similar
to that employed in the previous case. 1t
then held that Congress could not uti-
lie the power TO regulate interstate
commerce for an Interior end that was in
effect an invasion of the constitutional
powers of the states to control their do
nestle affairs. Yet Congress would use
the tax power, in the law now suggested
with the same motive, for its purpose
would be not to raise revenue, but to
extirpate child labor by prohibitive
tax.
In the field of taxation, however, the
power to tax has often been used, not 50
much TO raise revenue as to attain GER
tain economic or social ends by indirec-
ton. The oleomargarine case put the
court on record as sustaining a law de-
signed virtually to destroy an industry
by taxation. The principle, in fact, was
established by Chief Justice Marshall in
McCulloch against Maryland, when he
affirmed that government could tax with
out restraint. "The power to tax" he
concluded, involves the power to de-
stroy." BY this road obviously the evils
of child labor can now be reached

How Credit Men Detect Dishonesty.

In the August American Magazine is
an article on credit and who should get
it. The author says
Credit men in big retail establish
ments, especially department stores, be.
come very expert in sizing up feminine
human nature, for the majority of shop,
pers in such stores are women. A great
many women are pretenders. That is,
they pose as grand ladies' when they are
not. Rarely does such woman, when
she appears at the credit mans window,
succeed in fooling anybody. The expert
credit man knows that many well-to-do
gentlewomen dress plainly, and that
many pompous women of the plush horse
type nevertheless have financial stand
ing; but Inc also knows that when a
coarse-fcatured woman wears fake Jew
elry and ultra fashionable clothes, or 9TH
er bizarre combinations of cheapness and
expensiveness, she will bear the closest
investigation. If she appears insulted
when asked to answer few customary
questions, the credit man simply confirms
his suspicion that her account is not de-
sirable. Moreover, tie credit man is du-
bious about a woman who is either I'M
duly talkative or needlessly uncommuni-
cative The woman who talks too much
may be trying to hide something under
her veil of palaver. And the one who
will volunteer nothing at all is at least
unfair to the store, for she must appre-
ciste that they are entitled to know
something about her before extending
credit"

NEWBURY


Some 20 odd years ago the late Horace
w Bailey leased small parcel of land
of Ezekial Hibbard which borders the pic
turesque shores of Halls pond. Here he
erected a cottage, cleared up the under
brush and in due time there came into
being Camp Pinston. This for several
years was the hospitable home of the
genial Horace Here he entertained his
friends in his unique way, and, gradually,
this camp became the mecca of men who
were to help make the laws of our state.
Honors came thick and fast to the host
of Pineton, as state duties increased he
was obliged to sever the ties which
bound him to his home, midst the sough-
ing of the pines, beside the ripping
waves of the crystal lake.
Henceforth his duties were the states.
His office, Rutland, Vt. His home, the
home of his heart, Pineton by the lake.
The property was purchased by Miss
Julia Farwell, former resident of our
town, and here she established a summer
school in connection with the Castle"
a large and prosperous school in larry
town, n. Y, and for IA years pupils from
all parts of the y. S. en- joyed the instruc
ton of this accomplished teacher In
the spring Of 1918 this property again
changed hands. 1t was through the in
fluenee of Gov, Henry W. Reyes and
other influential citizens of New Hamp-
shire, that three young ladies from
Washington, d, c., of southern birth
North Carolina being their native
state), the Misses Sanderlin, came into
possession, forming company incor-
porated under the laws of our state, to
be known as Camp Sanderlin." These
energetic girls of the southland have
equipped this school of already nation
al reputation with electric lights, water
system, two tennis courts, boats, five
bungalows, tents, one canvas house, an
auditorium hall for entertainments and
divine services, a recreation hall and all
the paraphernalia that goes with first.
class summer school. Added to this, an
accomplished corps of teachers-eight
councillors, who instruct the girls in bas-
ket making, crept work, first aid and
physical culture. The camp is a model,
not only in equipment but for neatness,
honor prizes being given to those girls
who keep their bungalows in order for
instant inspection. Thus the girls have
the fundamentals which underlie all good
housekeeping taught them, as well as
hygiene and art. Here, under the inhu-
ence of these cultivated ladies from the
southland, with their southern accent
and modulated voices, come girls from
every state in the union, that they may
be taught the fundamentals, the things
essential to the upbuilding of character
that which makes the useful woman of
tomorrow. What then, could be more
fitting memorial to Horace W. Bailey
than to have the home of Newbury's
son and friend turned into an institu-
tion of learning where the voice of youth,
mingled with song and laughter, can be
heard. Horace w Bailey's work is done,
but Pineton goes on and on.

WALTER L. MAINS CIRCUS
Will Arrive in Barre Early Thursday
Morning, July as.

Early in the morning of Thursday,
July 25, well-governed and organized
city will move into Barre for a day s
visit, and at its conclusion will fold its
tents and silently move on to entertain
thousands the next day elsewhere. The
circus is the Walter L. Main circus, one
of the oldest of them all, and one that
is distinctly of goth century size and
quality. The Walter L. Main circus has
made its field of range in the West and
South for many years, but this season it
broke from its old-established territory
and will visit Barre July 25. 1t is the
first time in Is years the circus has been
in Barre Hence it may be said that it
comes practically as a new show except
for its name. OF course the older people
all remember the high class show always
given by Walter L. Main.
The menagerie with the circus has al
ways been famous for its size and quail
ity, and in it this season may be found
more rare specimens of wild animals than
can be found with any other circus.
The performance has been most favor
ably criticised wherever it has been, and
the work of putting it together is the
achievement of years of hard work and
experience. The circus will give two per
formanees here. These will be preceded
by the big street parade, one of the
handsomest pageants ever presented by
any circus.--adv.

The K. of c. War Fund.

Further illustration of the scale on
which Americans make war is afforded
by the progress already attained by the
knights of Columbus toward the accom-.
pIishment Of their war work at home and
abroad in the next year. 1t was only a
few weeks ago that the order issued
call for 1000 secretaries to be available
before the close of this year. The mum.
Der is now virtually assured, and 1000
Of the secretaries will be in France on
or before September 10. In the last
year, the knights have raised $1,000
900 for war purposes, and more than
81 100000 of this money has been ex.
pended. With the increase of the Amer
lean armies abroad, il became evident
that the war fund would have to be
greatly increased Accordingly, the or
der now announces its purpose TO raise
and spend S50,00O,OO0 on the develop
ment Of its war work in the next twelve
months. The money viii be raised and
expended as per schedule. That's the
American way Of doing things.
1t should be unnecessary, at this late
day, to explain that the Knights OF Co
lumbus, an organization with 100000
members in the United States and 10
per cent of its membership in the coun-
try's service, is working in harmony
with other non-combatant organizations
in the field, such as the Red Cross, the
Y. Nj. O. A., the Y, NJ II. A., and the
Salvation Army, and that its work is
strongly endorsed by the United States
government The order conducts no
canteen in its clubhouses and huts; and
its standing declaration is that cigar
cites, bouillion, chocolate, coffee and 9TH
er supplies will be given free to any
American soldier, regardless of creed or
color, who applies at the k. of C. places.
Everybody welcome-everything free; I"
this is the motto of the X, of c. war
huts.
These things being we'll understood, it
is easy to see why the order feels the
utmost confidence in announcing its war
plans for the year. The money will be
