None of the 5 States where children were

THE LEGAL RIGHT TO REMAIN
IGNORANT.

The legal right to remain ignorant is an
nually granted to thousands Of children in
States where child labor and education laws
are backward According to an account of the
administration of the Federal Child Labor Law
soon to be published by the Children's Bureau
of the u. S. Department Of Labor, only 1873
children out of Is, sos to whom certificates were
issued, or less than per cent had attended
or completed the eighth grade, though compile
ton Of the eighth grade is generally regarded
as necessary to secure even the rudiments of
an education.
Only | of these States has a compulsory
school law for children up to 16, even when
unemployed and that law permits many ex-
emptions. Both parents and children, through
Ignorance Of the value of schooling, are apt to
take advantage of the legal right to dodge an
education. In recent study Of school attend
ance in Cleveland it was found that 1850 chill
dren were so irregular in their attendance at
school as to interfere with their studies. and
that the reasons for staying out of school were
in many cases trivial Among foreign groups.
children were kept at home on bargain or mar
ket days to act as Interpreters for their

In addition to lax school attendance laws, 8
OF the States permit children Is years old

PARIS OUTDONE
BY KENOSHA"
Local Soldier Says Gay
Paree Has Nothing on
Gay Kenosha County.
CITES AN EXAMPLE

=
"Gay Paree1 is 'piker'' to some of
the places in Kenosha county accord
ing to rather vigorous complaint
that was being made by one Kenosha
ex-soldier this morning regarding one
of the tayerns in Kenosha county. His
comment was caused both by the sue
cessful raid on two taverns for gamb-
ling devices, which he cIassed as
good but not enough" and by hap
hazard visit which he happened to pay
to the resort in question a few DAYS
ago.
II have been in some pretty rough
places in France, he declared "but be-
lieve me in France they at least have
the respect to shut off from the view
of the public what is going on in the
inside. The slang phrase of getting
away with murder" must have origi-
mated in this town by some one who
went sight seeing here. We fought for
democracy and liberty and let me say
right here that from what | saw the
other evening, they are certainly
helping themselves to the liberty part
Of it in this vicinity"
The ex-soldier declared that he hon
ed he could wake up the people of the
county to the need for action. He de-
clared that the dancing which he wit
messed at this resort surpassed in gug-
gestiveness any thing which he had
seen in Paris and he admitted that he
had taken in the sights there. He de-
clared that there were gamblers there
galore and that the dice clicked mer-
rily on the tables. He intimated that
booze was flowing rather freely and
summed it all up as "most disgrace
full scene"
This ex-soldier was not at all re-
ticent about handing out the informa-
ticn and declared that he was willing
to inform the officers of the place in
order that they might 60 out some
time themselves when they were least
expected.

A COSTLY VETO

On the eve Of the adjournment Of Congress
the President saw fit to veto the budget bill.
Representing the work of point budget COM
nittee, composed of members Of both Senate
and House. who had held protracted hearings
and given months Of study to the question,
the measure was designed to coordinate rev
enues and expenditures of the Government IN
such way as to bring an annual saving to the
people Of hundreds of millions of dollars. Mr.
Wilson admitted that he favored the general
policv of the proposed law, but because the bill
did not bestow upon him the power to remove
two Of the officials appointed under it, he as
surned the grave responsibility Of throwing
the whole measure into the discard
There have been few acts Of Congress that
have received the attention at the Capitol and
the discussion through the public press, than
have been given to the budget bill. Practically
everyone has recognized the substantial econ
ornies in Federal financing that could be effect
I'd under it's terms. It's passage represented
the elimination of the efforts of public spirited
men in both Houses of Congress over period
of wears, during which time many bills pertain
ing to the subject have been introduced and
considered. Special exertion was made during
get bill through in order that the estimates
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1922, might
be prepared under it's provisions. Congress
succeeded in doing its part in the great re-
form After exhaustive study the measure
was passed by both Houses, conference COM
mittee compromised the differences in thought
between the Senate and House Of Represents
tives, and it's report was accepted. The bill
was put into final form and sent to the White
House for the signature that would make it
law With a few strokes of the pen Mr., Will
son had vetoed the measure and nullified the
panstakng study which its sections repre-
sented.
That the veto should have come on the eve
Of the adjournment is peculiarly unfortunate,
and an added tax Of millions will be placed up
on the country in consequence. Congress will
not meet again until next December, In the
meantime the estimates upon which will be
based the appropriations for the next year will
have been prepared in the same old way under
the terms of the obsolete law which the bud
get bill sought to displace. There will be the
same competition between Departments for
funds, the same jealous rivalry between bu-
reau chiefs to see who can squeeze the most
dollars from the public Treasury, and the same
disregard of what revenues will be available to
meet the expenditures that will be urged. The
public will be compelled to stand the burden
and pay the cost Of an Anticipated financial sys-
tenn that everybody comedies should be aband-
oned - all because Mr.. Wilson insisted that he
be given the power to remove in his discretion
two Of the officials who were to administer the
budget system.
