The Child That Toileth Not
An Answer to the Question Of En-.
ploying Children in N. c. Mills


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Replying to your correspondent.
who condones the use of children IN
North Carolina cotton mills, would
say:
The education Of the public heart
moves forward slowly enough. The
story Of mans inhumanity to the child
Of the poor and ignorant since invsn-
ton made it possible to attach the
child fingers to the manufacturing Of
fabrics Is nauseous one.
We have, however, SO evolved IN
common decency, we have become 50
sensitizcd to the truth of the precious.
ness Of the child to the nation, that
thers grows the demand that this u-
tional wealth be mined, Wheeler
through the isolation Of the mouatsin
side or through the smother Of The
slum.
The common heart II becoming %
human that we feel it a cowardly
thing for grown-ups to stand by and
allow the flesh Of children to be har-
messed to machines for the gain of any
person whatsoever, or any group Of
persons, nc matter how powerful.
But not until this shame has been
transmitted into courage will the word
go forth that will empty the children
out Of the factories into the sunshine
where they belong. including the
schools.
With reference to 1.-THE Child That
Toileth Not" 1 would submit, as one
who has had long and intimate ex-
perience with children of all ages and
circumstances, that, given wise and
loving environment, proper nourish-
ment, freedom Of initiative, except
where that fresdom may harm Others
the child is the busiest creature in the
world.
1t would be wonderful investment
toward the greater, nobler America II
we all grown Americans were to make
it our business to see that children
lhrougn the length and breadth Of
this powerful country had Immediately
the right Of life, liberty and the pur'
suit of happiness-the cupidity Of en-
ployers and the ignorance of parents
Notwithstanding.
The lads just little older than chill
dren who went across into the hell OF
war for US expressed themselves every
where as doing it that the kids might
have a better world to live int" Thss
did their share; how about US! Shall
not we, who watched them die in the
name of progress, take up the sword
of RICH. that fell from their handsi

A Tribute
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: + was very much interested in
your editorial this morning on William
Stewart Lahey. Having served under
him, can safely say that all those who
knew him in France, in whatever ca
pacity, bore the same high opinion of
him as did his associates in The Trib-
une office.
Lieutenant Lahey was in command
of and the only officer in Company
B, 311th Infantry, at the time he re-
ceived the wound that resulted three
days later in his death. He had been
assigned to and placed in command of
the company on October g. few days
after what was left of the company
had been relieved from duty in the
Limay sector. He had the arduous
duty Of reorganizing the company with
one hundred requirements, the majority
of whom had never worn a gas mask
or fired a rife, in the denseness of the
Argonne Forest. That duty he per-
formed with dispatch and success
thateonly those who witnessed it could
believe possible. His men loved and
respected him. In history Of the
company, which we some day hope to
publish, it is writtcn:
Lieutenant Lahey's bravery at this
critical period was such that his men
never cease praising him. While wound
ed so seriously that he died three days
later, he directed the evacuation Of all
other wounded men and gave instruc-
tons to the non-commissioned officers
left with the company before he per-
mitted himself to be evacuated"
Orders promoting Lieutenant Lahey
from LIST lieutenant to captain reached
Personnel Headquarters of the 311th
on the same day as the report of his
death. B. w. STILES.

Clothes for Former Service Men

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is to-dsT almost impossible
for the uniformed discharged service
man to secure work. Thus large num-
bers of men, being unable to purchase
"civies," ere also unable to secure en-
ployr, ne.
Scores OF men appeal for this assist
ance daily at the Bowery Y. M. C. A..
East Third Street, and while we helm
to the extent of our ability we are
forced to turn many deserving men
from our doors. A hungry man is never
turned away while food is available, but
our wardrobe is depleted and we ear
nestly plead for supplies of second hand
shoes and clothing. These are never
sold or charged UP to any applicant.

The Kitchin Legacy

How hard economic errors are to
repair is shown again by the Sem
ate Finance Committees reluctance
to make repeal of the excess profits
taxes and the higher income sur
taxes date from January /, 1921.
The country is agreed that the ex-.
cess profits tax has lost whatever
merit or usefulness it ever had. 1t
was Kitchin conception and fitted
in with the Kitchin idea that the
burdens of war taxation could be
shifted to the shoulders of very
small class. The vice of the excess
profits tax proved to- be that it
wasn't absorbed by those who made
excess profits, but was readily
passed on. Worse than that, it was
pyramided, and the original tax
which went into the Treasury was
paid many times over by the pub
lie in the shape Of inflated prices.
The existence of the excess
profits tax is still barrier to bust
ness readjustment, although depres-
sion and liquidation have made it
less and less productive.
Economically speakingit is more Of
nuisance tax" than the so-called
nuisance taxes"-those on soda
fountain products, Injuries or
theater tickets. All the reasons
which make the abolition of the ex-
cess profits tax desirable apply to
the tax year 1921 just as we'll as to
the tax year 1922. Yet the Senate
committee seems to think it ought to
consider the prejudices of those who
are still enamored of Mr.. Kitchin's
theories of war financing.
The situation is the same with
the income surtaxes. Congress
tried in 1917 to effect q near-con-
fscation of large incomes. But an
avenue of escape from such con-
fscation existed, which Mr.. Kitchin
and his associates couldn't close.
That was the constitutional guar
anty covering income derived from
state and municipal securities. The
Federal govf rnment couldn't levy
on this. Capital subject to high
Federal surtaxes was accordingly
reinvested in state and municipal
bones. Instead of being employed
in productive industry, it was tied
up in state and city improvements,
largely productive in character.
Business would be stimulated if
this artificial diversion of capital
into exempt securities were halted.
This relief would come all the
sooner if the high surtax rates
were repealed as from January 1
of this year. But Congress is look
ing fearfully over it's shoulder. 1t
fears recrudescence of the old
clamors, based on beliefs which ex-
perience has shown to be unsound.
Why not face the facts of to-
day and forget the delusions of
yesterday? The sooner the Kitchin
mistakes IN war taxation are
remedied the better it will be for all
concerned.

The Coming 7ower
APPLE TREES

Where the apple branches spread
Crooked rafters overhead,
Deep in leaves of darkest jade,
Sapphire sky bits CLEAN, inlaid.
Where the qucsting breczes creep
Through the grasses sweet and deep,
| would lie while shadows crawl
Der tho grey and lichened wall.
Wake or slumbcr, as | please,
Underneath the apple trees.
Shafts Of sunlight, striking down,
Gid the trunks rough coat Of brown;
Eyes half closed, watch their play
When the winds the trcetops sway
Far above in twilight dim,
See the golden apples swim
Planetlike. A god am I,
And / rest and watch the sky
/ have fashioned, at my ease
Underneath the apple trees.
Lord, who apples made, let mo
Like to these Thy children be.
Let the warm rain Of the south
Bend and kiss me on the mouth;
Cool me with Thy clean winds blowing;
Make me ono with all things growing;
Let the sunlight give me strength,
Dew baths wash me, and at length
Let me drop, and fade and cease
Underneath Thy apple trees.
