AT LAST

The North Carolina legislature. pas
ced q s~o-called child labor law. Fhe
measure was adopted instead OF a
rea! law offered by Commissioner Of
: abor Shipman, and advocated by the
consolidated labor boards of the state
aud the cotton mill interests of the
state we're champions. of the success
ful measure The members Of the
legislature who listened to the voice
Of the master" and voted for the milk
arJ natc- child labor law, had all
their trouble for nothing. In April
The federal government will take
charge of the child labor proposition
in the state, and the law recently pas
sod at Raleigh is so weak that one OF
it's provisions will find room for opera
ticr.
1t will be recalled that the Cotton
Manufacturers association held their
| convention here last year, and after
adjournment, when the delegates haG
all reached home, some fellow sent
out g. news dispatch from Charlotte
to the effect that the association haG
gone on record as faToring a state
law similar to the Heating child labor
bill. 1t was announced at that time
that the sincerity of the association
would be put to the test. At the re-
cent session of the legislature thai
| test was made, and the cotton manu-
facturers were found sadly wanting IL
that great notwithstanding. SC
| strongly opposed were they to any Law
even similar to the Heating law tina:
! Commissioner of Labor Shipman was
lied on. kicked about, and an effort
made to oust him from his state Office.
But now the efforts of the mill
owning legislators and the bunch Of
easily-led so-called statesmen have
had all their trouble. and scheming
for nothing, because of the operation
of the real federal law going into er-
feet in April. 1t is gratifying, indeed,
to see the coming of national control
of child labor, and to realize that at
last the nation has been aroused to
the responsibility of caring for its
; young baskerville Labor Advocate.

The bankers of the State introduced
at the recsnt session Of the General
Assembly a bill to abolish the observ-
ance of Lees birthday and the signing
of the Mecklenburg Declaration as
legal holidays in North Carolina. The
time had not come, however, when the
people were willing to sanction such a
step, and the bill was tabled. AS bear
ing on the necessity for and the ply
steal and intellectual value OF holidays
and as showing their place in proven
tive medicine, the following from the
Journal of the American Medican AS
ISOLATION is worth considering.
There is such a thing as intellec-
tuaI indigestion resulting from inord1-
nate concentration.
Distinctly intellectual processes be-
come impaired unless a reasonable
period for reflection and mental re-
cuperation is allowed.
1.-THE physician has a special coz
Germ in the threatened abolition OF the
institution of holidays. To him who
watches the mode of life of his fellow
citizens the beneficence Of an occas-
ional holiday has not escaped notice.
The institution of suitable holiday
periods is for the most part more than
likely to make for good. The right
use of a holiday is one of the sover-
eign secrets in the practice of the no
BILE art of keeping alive
"a change of work may become a
holiday in essence. The best holiday
is not one spent in lanquid idleness,
but one that contains he larges:
mount of new experience"
