Careful Crossing
Ca7,paign
Luke xvI:1o.

YINDER the auspices of the American Railway
III Association there is now operative Careful
Crossing Campaign. 1t began June /, and
will end September 30
It's slogan is 'Cross Crossings Carefully
A mans ability to keep this slogan will be test
of the faithfulness with which he obeys the Vol
stead law. i#'
The point of the campaign is ~ that something
must be done to reduce the number Of railroad ac-
cidents at crossings; (2 that to abolish road cross
ings is at present impossible, and (3) that the only
practical thing to do is to educate the public to be
careful. .. .s..'. -: ...'.;. :. .= ~
As to the first statement, the statistics are that
in thirty years the population of the country has
increased 6S per cent and crossing accidents have
increased 345 per cent in fatal and 652 per cent in
injury y r ..'
During 1920 j, ,791 persons were killed and SOFT
injured at railroad crossings. -a.
As to the second point, it is impossible to
tirely eliminate grade crossings, because there are
251 939 highway crossings on Glass railroads alone
in the United States Of these 399 were done away
with in 1919. ,. ..-a..s,:
At this rate it would take 629 years to abolish
them all. All the men and money available could
not remove these crossings in lifetime.
1t is apparent that the immediate question of
lowering the death and accident rate must be found
in the education of the public and in the
part of the railroads. -....... -.
Railroad employees a whole have made great
progress in the matter of observing the motto,
"Safety First" -. ....a
Every encouragement should be offered this
movement to educate the public to higher degree
of care, and all intelligent people in the country
should lend their moral support to the movement.

Women Sl0Wly I'M
prOUe Men

4 LII through the ages women have disciplined
"a men, making them slowly better. And women
. still carry that work with considerable
frmness. -....
Mr.. Frank Warren Anderson, welfare direc-
tor'' did many foolish things and boasted that fifty
women had been his duipes. So says No. So who is,
or was Miss Peggy Marie Beal. He said to this
lady what he previously had said to forty-nine
others: ..A-.'
"Peg l am devil, love no woman" This
meant that he had never INTENDED to marry her
She shot him dead, making herself No. so, and last
In Kansas City, where the woman will be tried
they will know what to de about it.
There are ladies that gradually make men better
by wiping them out, frightening them or enlight-
ening them. There are others that spoil them. One
lady, name unknown, called to see the corpse of
"Welfare Director Anderson. And hearing that
a lady had shot him remarked, "What devils
women are," and went away. -..s
Women are NOT devils, but many Of them have
been very firm in dealing with men. That on the
whole, has been excellent for men and for women,
making the men better and the women more secure
and comfortable. I.,. -.':..,.

Let Our OUn War

A MERICANS are inclined to
"a be cynical regarding the
- varying measure Of justice
meted out to little and to big
offenders. We are wont to take
for granted that the bigger the
crime, especially if the crime in
wolves 'high finance" the more
likely the criminal is to get away
with it.
The charge and sentence Of the
British Judge in consigning the
notorious Bottomley to seven
years Of penal servitude should
be an exemplary suggestion to
our own Department Of Justice
and a promissory menace to our
own wartime patrioteers who
ruthlessly capitalized public sen

For a Horse,
Yes---

HUMAN beings that know so
Ia much about animals, auto
- mobiles and other ma
chinery, and so little about
YOURSELVES, read this:
When Norwich, the great race
horse, was put on the car carry
ing him from one race track to
another, his trainer Immediately
cut off his regular seven quarts
of oats per day.
I"No heating food, of course,
while the horse is travelling and
Inactive" said he. That's right
and wise, says Mr.. Human Being.
And the same Mr.. Human
Being gets on the train to travel
from New York to California and
spends the time in the dining car
eating as much as he can pos
sibly hold. He does the same
on the ocean steamer, and in gen
eral from the cradle to the
grave he eats in a fashion that
would make of any first-class
racehorse a tenth-class horse.
Only eat the food that you
know you are going to use up!
Only eat as much as you can
change into blood, bone, flesh,
muscle and nerve power. Your
own judgment should tell you
what to order.
Leave the table while you are
still hungry and you will leave
the world when very old.

The South and ILLiteracy.

IRON the fiery lips of Ar
kansas sounds an appeal
against sectionalism from
Senator Robinson in answer to
Senator Smoot, of Utah, caviling
at "the illiteracy of the South. "
Conceding that in some of the
Southern States there is litter
acy in a greater degree than in
some Northern and Western
States, Senator Robinson points
in explanation to the pathetic i'm
poverishment of the South by the
Civil War and the heavy bur
den of educating a race just
freed from slavery, and pays
this just and eloquent tribute to
the Southern people:
No other people in all his
tory has so bravely met mis-
fortune, so gallantly over
come difficulties that threaten
ed to overwhelm them, so
triumphantly emerged from
the misfortunes of desolating
warfare as have characterized
the efforts and the success of
the people of the South, and
today we are maintaining in
every State, practically at the
expense Of the white people,
educational institutions for
colored students without dis
elimination, institutions of the
same character as those pro-
vided for the white children in
the South.
In spite of sneers, in spite Of
insinuations, the white race of
the South Is advancing to a
condition of enlightenment and
glory and leading by the hand
the men and the children of
the black race.

Abolish Child
Labor
THE 10000 children whom
fho law kant ont of fac

the law kept out OF fac
= tories, mines, quarries, are
trooping back to work again,
Just as the summer begins.
In three Rhode Island cities
there were recently 1888 chill
dren under fifteen years of age
working in their homes earning
a few cents a day outside Of
school hours, when they should
be at play or In bed. f.. 49,.
So we learn from inspectors
under the late Federal child
labor law. ~..
Those inspectors will no longer
inspect, for the Federal child
labor law has just been declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court. .,. % ..r I.
What were those Rhode Is
land homework children doingf
One infant of three was attach
ing strings to tags. Other chill
dren drew threads in lace, assem-
bled cartridge clips, paired and
packed shoe strings, strung ro-
sary beads. Such children pro-
duce much of the cheap jewelry
for which the Providence district
is famous.
Is child labor cheapf Not from
any point of view.
A survey of Manhattan court
records shows that children who
work contribute four times as
much delinquency as other chill
dren.
1t isn't cheap nor human. An
industry which cannot pay wages
to hire grown-ups has no right
to exist. A government which
allows the playtime of its chill
dren to be coined into dollars is
both heartless and wasteful.
The House of Representatives
boasts that it is way ahead of
the Senate in legislation. While
waiting for the Senate to catch
up the House should prepare an
amendment to the Constitution
empowering Congress to forbid
child labor, which the Supreme
Court has just decreed that Con-
gress may not interfere with.
The principles of the law are
as high and as pure as the
bosom of God.
Yet the supreme law says the
Constitution itself forbids any
intrusion by Congress upon the
right of the several States to
permit children to be robbed of
youth, strength, education,
health and happiness for the
profit of mill owners.
The vice then, the heartless-
ness, the lack of tenderness and
protective-sense for childhood, is
not in the law, but in the Con-
stitution; since nine judges all
agree, and some of these judges
are known to be as progressive
and humane as they are learned.
The Constitution, then, must be
amended. If this Congress ad-
journs without taking the first
steps to achieve this, another in
dictment will lie against this
weak and leaderless Congress-
