RoBBING THE STATES
OF THEIR RIGHTS

The foes of child labor are de
fermined to cure the defects
which the Supren. Court discov-
cred in :he legislation regulating
the employment Of children in in
dnstry. They are seeking an
amendment to the Constitution
which will specifically vest in
Congress the power to enact such
laws.
OF course, the passage Of such
an amendment viii mean another
eneroachment by the Federal gov
ernment upon the reserved pow
ers Of the individual states Il
should be received with naisgiv-
ings by all citizens who are
patriarehal enough in their think
inc to believe in states rights
The advocates Of child labor
legislation are not pathfinders
however. in the methods which
they are now following. They
are treading in the footsteps of
the prohibitionisis and the suf-
fragists- The ani-ssloon forces
found that they could not dry
the nation state by state and sol
they leurneyed 10 Washington
and seenred prohibition by con
stisntinnal amendment The suf-
fragisfs learned this lesson wen
and really hettered the instrUc-
ton
If the siaies-particllarly the
states Of the SOuih-wonld enact
effective child labor laws, there
would be no appreciable senti- |
rnsnf demanding constitutional
amendment. But they stubbornly |
refnse and the zealons friends OF
unemployed childhood will not
be denied. They VIII have their
prohihitive laws even though the |
organic law Of the land must be
changed.

Sanitation has an Important place
on the program Of work for. 1877 IN SIX
communities in Clark and Lincoln
counties, Nevada, reports the state
leader Of home demonstration agents,
working comparatively with the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the State Agricultural college. Secur-
ing and enforcing definite rules in re-
gard to clean yards, lots or houses,
spring water, bitches and streets is
one of the principal goals.
Four of these communities have no
town organization, the county govern
ment regulating local affairs. Under
the direction of home demonstration
workers the women are taking steps
to form town organizations in order to
have authority to make and enforce
ordinances for health, and to make
local improvements of various kinds.
AS there is no sewage system in these
communities, the water is very un-
wholesome and a menace to health. 1t
is brought long distances from springs
through unclean, open bitches.
The people of Mesquite community
in Clark county held their second
cleanup day last spring. AS result
three miles of ditch were cleaned,
three culverts made, the main channel
of the town ditch changed, a new
head-gate built, weeds gruhbed out
rubbish cleaned up, and mud holes
filled and leveled. A number of girls
of the community agreed to take turns
pouring kerosene on all ponds to kill
mosquito eggs and wrigglers, thus
helping to rid the community of one
nuisance. Each person worked in his
own neighborhood and had his dinner
at home. More was accomplished
than if community dinner had beer
served.
