Child Labor Legislation.

shout for Federal legislation and con-

ably louder than the facts warranted.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Observa-

my mind that mankind and domesticated

Knowing that the size of men and
animals can be increased with lime. 1t
seems to me there arises an interesting
chronological question. If feeding to the
young a superfiuity of lime increases the
size Of men and animals. is it not prob
able that through the lack of lime the

Are the people of japan diminutive from

Governor Harding's Fine Record.

1t is rather more than intimated,
1t is strongly indicated, from the
White House that the President has
it in mind to reappoint WILLIAM P. G..
HARDING to the Federal Reserve
Board, of which he is now governor.
II this Executive act should come to
pass it would give much satisfaction
to the banking and business ele.
ments of the country and to all
Americans who hold that faithful
and valuable public service in mat
ters of vast finance should be above
and beyond the attacks Of political
partisanship, sectional jealousies and
greedy place hunting.
In the administration of his high
and important Office Governor HAIR
DING has adhered to the admirable
resolve to keep politics out of what
is now the greatest banking system
in the world, at whatever cost. His
fine conception of the disinterested,
non-partisan and public spirited prin-
ciples obligatory upon the head of the
Federal Reserve Board has done
more than to win the approval of
broad minded banking and business
opinion; it has inspired national con-
fidence in the new banking system,
which did not come into being free
from expert anxiety and popular
suspicion.
The fate OF the Bank of the United
States might easily have. fallen upon
the Federal Reserve Board and the
national reserve system il Governor
HANDING and his associates had not
5ealously and successfully guarded
it from the political influences and
private intrigues that caused the
national bank scandal in the days
of President JACKSON. If Governor
HARDING is to continue at his post
for another term the country will be
encouraged to feel that by the time
he has completed his exemplary work
the Federal Reserve Board will have
escaped definitely and finally the dan
ger which long threatened and at
last overwhelmed the Bank of the
United States.

Good Roads and Malaria.

II the specifications of the Federal
highways act are complied with the
building of good roads will go hand
in hand with the war on mosquitoes.
II they are not complied with one
result will be great increase in the
number of mosquito breeding spots.
Inasmuch as mosquitoes are recog-
nized as the chief carriers Of malaria
germs, it follows that non-observ-
ance of the highway construction
laws may mean wider diffusion Of a
disease that in some localities at
times develops into a veritable
scourge.
The highways act provides that all
culverts on roads shall be so placed
and maintained as to drain wet areas
above and below their intakes. 1t
also provides that all excavations
and pits caused by earth removal
incident to grading shall either be
filled or drained. When the road is
in process of building all this can be
done at comparatively small expense.
II, by carelessness or willful disobedi-
ence of the law, culverts are improp-
erly placed or pits and excavations
left undrained the cost of rectifying
the errors is likely to be very heavy
heavy In terms of money and still
heavier in terms OF widespread sick
ness from mosquito borne malarial
infection.
The United States Public Health
Service is making earnest appeals to
public officials and to contractors to
heed these important facts and to
regulate construction accordingly.
The task of eradicating malaria has
been made doubly hard of late by the
continued creation OF unnecessarily
impounded water areas, large and
small. AS the mosquito is the direct
agent of malaria dissemination, and
as creating undisturbed mosquito
breeding places is to large extent
unnecessary, 1t is clear that in great
measure malaria is an affiiction for
which communities have only them.
selves to blame.
The degree to which negligence Of
kzghis sort is carried may be judged
from the assertion of Assistant
Surgeon-General CARTER that three
fourths Of all the cases Of malaria in
a district in eastern Virginia where
the malady is very prevalent is
solely due to swamps and artificial
pools that might easily be drained.
This is matter of special interest
to States in which highway CON
'struction Is in progress. The Ala
|bama Highways Engineer is urging

child laborers in America, three
fourths of them in agriculture. These
figures are based on the census OF
1910, showing the number of gain
fully employed children between 10
and 16 years of age. The Federal
law, when it went into operation
three years ago, is said to have af.
fected, by it's age, hour and night
work standards combined, 800, 900
boys and girls. 1t actually took out
of industry perhaps 10000 children
under 16.
Since then the State laws have
been brought up to higher standards
with reference to industrial occupa.
tions. Compulsory school attendance
laws have been strengthened. and
some progress has been made by
State and local agencies, both pub.
lie and private, in providing ade'
quate poor relief and vocational
guidance-highly important factors
in preventing premature abandon.
ment Of school.
The child labor problem in Amer.
lea is far from solved, but even as a
merely legislative problem something
vastly more than prohibitory law,
with the few standards of the Fed
eral law now rendered imperative, is
needed. The big remaining tasks of
child labor egislation-and child
labor legislation involves other than
child labor laws as such-are tasks
the Federal Government has not at
tempted to perform and is hardly
likely to undertake in the near
future, with or without constitu
tional amendment.
So it seems as if this excited haste
to get the Constitution amended to
make valid Federal child labor law
possible may be due not wholly to a
consideration of what child labor
reform really requires to-day but
partly to resentment against the
Supreme Court and fighting spirit
toward employers. The advocates OF
constitutional amendment assume toe
many enemies of child labor reform
And perchance they reckon too mod
estly the accomplishments Of the last
few years.

Duma. Is Still Dumas.

After generations of quibbling
among laymen the French courts
have settled apparently once and for
all the disputed question of the au-
thorship of the romances Of ALExAN-
DIRE DUMAS, the elder. With rare logic
the court held that while no name
shall be joined with that of DUMAS
as collaboration, the heirs of AUGUsTE
MARQUET, who claimed this distinc-
tion. are entitled to share with
DUMAs's heirs in royalties.
Almost fifty-two years had passed
after DUMAs's death when this dis
pute was brought into court through
an action by the heirs of MARoUET
against the heirs of DUMAS. Then
began great turning over Of pages
of manuscripts and delving into lit.
erary traditions and history of the
forties and flfties. There, was no
doubt of the collaboration of MAR.
QUIET, for DUMAS himself paid tri-
butte to it as most important and val.
uable." All this came to light in the
courts in 1858, when it was disclosed
that ten years previously MARQUEE
had ceded his signature and authors
rights to DUMAS for 145,000 francs.
/ Soon afterward, however, DUMAS
became bankrupt. His attempt to
keep up his great estate at Saint Ger
main-en-Laye and to entertain the
crowds of his hangers on, together
with the failure of the Theatre His.
torique, which he founded, absorbed
his large earnings and left him pen
niless. MARQUEE did not receive his
money, but he got a recognition which
secured to him, stated proprietary
rights. MARoUET died in 1888 and
his rights survived for twenty years,
OF until 1908. But MARouET's heirs
centended that authors rights had
been extended by law to fifty years,
and that they should have the advan.
tage of this extension of time. The
court decided in their favor, thus
continuing to them their royalties
from 1908.
DUMAS had, besides MARoUET, other
collaborators-PAUL LAcRoIx, the
Italians MALLEFILLE and FIoRENTINo,
and PAUL BocAeE This collaboration
called forth some severe attacks upon
DUMAS, notably that of c. b. j. JAG
oUor in his exaggerated descriptive
work, "Fabrique de romans, Maison
Alexandra Dumas ct cie." In this
DuMAs's studio was compared to a
factory. The exact share that these
collaborators had in the novels which
bear DUMAs's name will perhaps
never be known. His assistants not
only made researches for him for lit
erary material but they furnished
Him with outlines Of stories planned
by himself, and these, 1t is said, he
always rewrote. THACKERAY makes
suggestion of what collaboration
might be when he wrote of orders to

George F. Bakers Million.

The gift of $1,000,000 by GEORGE F.
BAKER to the Metropolitan Museum
of Art is particularly generous, be-
cause it is given without restriction
as to the use of the income. The
Museum will have $37,50O year to
spend for any purpose its trustees
may deem needful. The Museum is
nov, and is likely to be for long
time, lacking in money for admins
tration and Mr.. BAKER's gift in this
respect is most timely.
A munificence of this kind is more
unselfish than the usual gift to an in
stitution like the Metropolitan, be-
cause it will be forgotten by the
general public. When man gives a
building, a collection of art, or, in
deed, single great painting or
statue, his name is associated with it
as long as the stone or the canvas
endures. The public admires and is
grateful, giving little thought to the
expense of maintaining the gift. In
the case Of Mr.. BAKERS million, how
ever, the income will be employed, at
least for the present, in making the
treasures presented by other philan-
thropists more presentable to the pub
lie. Mr.. BAKER was thinking Of the
Museum and the people who visit it
rather than of his own fame.
Our rich men dispose of their for
tunes according to their particular
notions. A Vanderbilt or a Searles
will leave his money to relatives or
intimates. A Frick or an Altman
will bequeath to his city vast treas
ure in art. The wisest and probably
the happiest Of the great givers are
those who open the gates of their
generosity during theirown lives and
have the Joy Of seeing the good as it
is done. OF these Mr.. RocKEFELLER is
the most openhanded and wisest, for
his gifts have been to humanity itself,
striking as they do at mans worst
foes, disease and ignorance.
The Rockefeller spirit Of giving
with knowledge that the gifts will
never be commemorated in marble or
bronze is the best spirit of all. There
is good deal Of this spirit in Mr..
BAKER's million. II is a spirit which
will more and more Undue men of
great wealth. They will seek no
monuments, no rewards except their
own consciousness of the betterment
of mankind.
