EASIER TO BREAK.

When the federal child labor law was pending
in congress the cotton mill owners of North Caro-
lima opposed it the ground that it was an in
fringement of the states rights.
They promised that North Carolina would enact
modern child labor laws and would that they
faithfully enforced.
North Carolina did enact child labor law. And
the North Carolina child welfare commission
issues its first report on how that law has been
obeyed.
There have been $50 violations of the state child
labor law during the past II month"; says the
port. Is that why those North Carolina mill own
ers were such ardent advocates OF rights?
Because a state law is easily broken than
federal statute?

with a swell coat and hat on today.

More Truth

By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
TWAS EVER THUS.

TWAS EVER THUS.
A squad Of men come up the street
And work a week or more
To lay a pavement trim and neat
Before our cottage door.
And az the same we contemplate
We say. How kind they are:
Now we can drive up to our gate
And not destroy our carr"
And then appears a second gang
With villainous intent.
To toss their mattocks with a bang
Upon our new cement,
And then with many a pry and
wrench.
They rend the pave in twain.
And dig a deep and ugly trench
TO hold a water main.
The trench Is levelled by and by
The pavement is put back.
But when the surface once is dry
There yawns a CHASTITY crack.
And then a fourth uncleanly crew
With an unh9ly din
Rips up the whole blamed street
anew
To put a gas pipe IN.
And when they Jay the pave again.
More burrowing human moles
DISGUISED as pick-axe welding men
VIII dig It full OF holes.
In mine, or any other tswn.
Now. a. in days OF yore.
They only put a pavement down
To dig il Up once more
