Repeats Burke Law.
II calls for the repeal of the Burke
law. which created the Maryland
Racing Commission at the last session
and under which the pari.mutel sys.
tenn Of betting IL operated at the
Maryland tracks now. Not only those
who take bets are liable under the
provisions OF the law, but those who
place them and those who allow the
placing or asking Of bets on their
premises.
1t also makes corporations, a well
az individuals. liable and provides for
the revocation OF the charter Of any
corporation after the first conviction.
This provision II generally under.
stood to be directed at the Maryland
Track Association, all OF which are
chartered corporations and ali of
which would be held responsible for
any betting on their premises under
the provisions Of the bin.
The bill also IL designed to take in
the "handbooks," which are now Cd.
Grated away from the tracks. and In.
clude them In it's provisions.
Davis Backs Hall Bin.
The Rev. w. w. Davis, executive
head Of the Maryland Anti Track
Gambling Association ana secretary
Of the Lords Day Alliance. said that
the Hall bill is the bill which his
association will support and the only
anti-race-track gambling measure he
plans to work for at this session.
There also Ia likely to be OF her
anti-race-track legislation before the
session Is ended or before the Hall
bill Ii acted on. The Hall bill does
not prohibit racing. but several OF
those who are opposed to race-track
gambling declare the belief that
gambling cannot be stopped without
stopping the races, and they plan to
foster antiracing bills.

used to ask why one advertiser didn't

Many people are asking seriously
now, why the jobs of two million
children are not given to two million
of the adults who are begging for
jobs. Seven million was the estimate
of unemployed adults In the fall OF
1921. Many OF these are parents liv-
ing on the wages of their own child
rem.
Children work for low wages. and
are u~norganized. Machines are 80

only a small percentage of child work
ers. There are 48 kinds of state laws
and more than 48 standards of en-
forcement. All these reasons togeth-
er, keep children enslaved.
No one car say truthfully, II don't
use goods made by Children Every
body who ats food, wears clothes,
uses material, reads anything, or plays
with anything, uses articles produced,
In part, by child labor. The child
ren's share may have been done far
from the store where the customer
pays the final price. But somewhere
children have shaved, producing, la
beling, handling, or packing the goods.

Is a mean crime.

' HA
The international purity confer
ence" was treated to some sound adj
vice administered by a physician, DR..
e. H. Pratt. 1t was not advice that
could be palatable to professional re-
formers nor to the many well inten-
toned individuals who are anxious to
create virtue by statute.
For example, DR.. Pratt said, Don't
try to legislate away %cigarets. Cure
the nerve forces that create a demand
for cigarets in the individual"
The trouble of this advice, it leaves
no job Of lobbying and professional
agitation. 1t proposes quiet. construc-
tive work along inconspicuous lines,
which do not turn into headlines.
Worse than that, it deprives the re-
former Of his sense of power. To fol

ene imposition oi inc re'ormers WI
upon his neishbors. It would mean
encouraging sportss shealth-giving ac-
tivities, education, and the increase
Of happiness in the world.
DR.. Pratt shows how a away from
L moral reformer he Is by saying.
Don't stamp out appetites. Make
them your servants. not your mas
ters." ENa
He ignores the fact hat the refor-
mer gets his pleasure from stamping
out. He often gets a salary for 1t,
too, but these are the few. The anna
teur reformers in his army get their
compensation out of the sense of
power, out of imposing their code on
someone else.
DR.. Pratt says: Don't talk SO much
about evils" But how is a salaried
reformer to keep his job without talk
ing and talking all the time about
evils?- There is n evil he doesn't
talk about, and that Is the evil by
which he lives, the evil Of stupid, fu7
tile, or mischievous law making, that
substitutes the statute for the %consci-
ence, which stimulates the spirit of
tyranny and bigotry. and creates re-
bellion against the law.
There is one way, and only one
way, to accomplish virtue and over
come vicious habits. It is by appeal
ing to the voluntary action of the in
t~elligence and the moral sense by
creating and sustaining healthy bo-
dies, and by giving the desires of the
mind and body wholesome means of
recreation and expression. The re-
former with all his laws cannot des-
troy the desires he is 80 afraid OF.
He a and he does drive them into
perverted or excessive expression or
stupid attack. He does no stamp
them out, he stamps them In. He
makes himself an enemy of natural
happiness instead of ighting what is
bad by what is good. ut takes health
to cure disease" says DR.. Pratt,
truth to cure error. and virtue to
cure vice."
That is rock bottom truth. The
church knows 1t. The real educator
knows 1t. But the professional re-
farmer with his passion for power
wants to make virtue by law. to i'm
pose his theories of what is, good by
political force, and keep in the lime
light.
We think he is a costly nuisance
