LAGGARDS

The increase in child labor
is general throughout the Middle
West, but exceptions are noted
in Missouri, Kansas and North
Dakota. News Item.
What is the matter with Mis-
souri,, Kansas and North Dakota?
Can ii be that the labor perform
ed by child is held to be OF
less value in these states than in
other parts Of the country? Are
the employers asleep, or are the
children of Missouri, Kansas and
North Dakota inferior to their
brothers and sisters of Georgia,
North Carolina and other parts of
the South, where the organized
energy Of childhood has been
turned to such profitable account?
Whatever it is, the situation calls
for an immediate remedy. Until
the Middle West is able TO report

Editorial
of the Day
THE PARADOXICAL HARDING

(F'rom Dallas News)
After telling the Kansas farmers
that he was a protectionist from the
soles of his feet to the top of his
head, Mr.. Harding held out the
promise, though with customary
vagueness. that tariff duties could be
so adjusted as not merely to bring
down the cost of living. but to re-
duce the amount Of direct taxation.
1t would be a wonderful. even a mag
ical, tariff bill that accomplished
both those purposes, so magical as
to justify one in entertaining some
doubt whether Mr.. Harding and his
party can fulfill the hope which
he would awaken. Just how high the
tariff duty must be in any case,
to yield both the maximum of pro-
lection and the maximum of rev..
enue can not be calculated. But it
is obvious, or ought to be to every
one, that the more protective n tariff
duty is, the less efficient II is as a
revenue producer. For it is protective
in the proportion that 1t keeps for
eign produced goods out of the coun-
try whereas the more ii keeps foreign
produced goods out of the country
the less opportunity it affords for
collecting revenue at the customs
houses. Mr.. Harding is promising
the impossible. He could make a
tariff law which would be more
protective than the present one, but
he could not make tariff law which
would be both more protective and
more productive of revenue than
the present one. The likelihood is
that any tariff bill which came out
of a Republican caucus. instead OF
reducing the governments need to
levy direct taxes, would increase it.

WHY THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE?

In long article in recent issue
of the Dallas News, Rev. Atticus
Webb states that the anti-saloon
league is non-partisan, and then, al
leging that Cox is wet appeals
to the voters to take the lesser OF
two evils" and vote for Senator Hard
ing.
With all due respect for the good
men and the good women who have
worked honestly and faithfully to
bring about a nationwide prohibition
Of the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquors, The Ardmoreite
7 would ask, why the anti-saloon
league?"
We no longer have the open saloon,
we no longer have the wholesale deal
er in intoxicants, We no longer have
$ legalized manufacture Of liquors. so
why the necessity Of the league
against something which does not
s exist?
I II the so-called anti-saloon league,
, now that booze and brews are barred
{. from legalized trafficking, is not q
partisan organization, subsidized by
and working for the election Of the
s Republican presidential candidate, why
does the reverent gentleman, whom
the records will doubtless show has
been q professional prohibitionist for
I years, appeal to the voters to let
the league of nations go hang in a
greater enthusiasm for prohibition?"
Prohibition is no longer an issue,
it is we'll established fact. Prohi-
bition is no longer before the people
of the United States for approval, 1t
has become a part and parcel of the
Constitution. that sacred instrument
which the president Of the United
States, be he Democrat or be he Re-
publican, is sworn to support.
With the adoption Of the Volstead
manner and means OF its adoption

by the supreme court Of the United
States, booze and brevs passed into

ately concerned over their means Of

made their living from the nefarious
traffic in the liquid damnation which
Is now barred from the country.

C|VITAN LUNCHEON
 IS ID BE A FROLIC All Sorts of Stunts to Fea- ture Fellowship Meet
 ing Today

Fun, frolic. music mystery stunts and fellowship will feature the Civitan luncheon at the Southern Club at 0 clock this afternoon.
 President Courtney W. Shropshire has planned a "fellowship'' day for several weeks past but each time some other matter of immediate and pressing inn portance came up and made postpone ment of this programme necessary.
 The committee in charge states that nothing will cause further postponement and that "fellowship' day is certainty this time.
 The committee has also arranged a supplemental programme of music and comedy stunts that are said to be hum mers."
 At the meeting last week the Cvitan Club adopted the slogan, Take a Soldier Home and as a result of the appeal made at that time members of the club signed up for fifty ex-Rainbow men who will be in Birmingham for the reunion on July F, B and IA. This number is expected to be doubled and probably trebled at the luncheon today, as a mum ber of the members were absent last week.
 The club had planned to hold it's meet ing this week in Memphis with the newly organized club in that city, but at the trip was postponed until next week. The Memphis club was recently organ ized with fifty members and the purpose of the trip was to deliver the charter and to welcome No. 2 into the Interna- tional Association of Civitan Clubs.

T. dge Boyd Sustained
 By Supreme Court
 On Transfer Ruling

The board of revenue cannot transfer money from the sanitary fund via the general fund into the special road fund to retire s500e0 worth of bonds which are due July 15. according to the decision of the supreme court which has upheld Judge Romaine Boyd's ruling in this matter.
 The commissioners were of the opinion. when they found that the bonds were due, that under the law they could trans fer surplus funds from the sanitary fund to the general fund and thence to the read fund to retire bonds. The double transfer was decided upon. as the law prohibits the direct transfer of money fl om one special fund to another. Judge Boyd ruled on the case. holding that since there are bonds outstanding against the sanitary fund, no surplus exists there, hence the transfer could not be made.
 An appeal was taken to the supreme court, which sustained Judge Boyd of the lower court.
 It is stated that there are sufficient funds on hand in the road fund to meet the payment when the bonds become due
