Optin,ist or Pessimist.

THE estimates and counter-es-
Inmates Of crime waves,
q waves of immortality among
the young, and the unbroken wave
of profiteering, continue to dis
turb and confuse the country.
Where lies the truth between
themi
Two classes of thinkers and re-
formers dispute in this arena. One
class insists upon it that all is
well, that the world is as good as
it ever was, if not better; that
crime waves dash, madly after
every war; that Naples and Flor
ence were far more immoral in
the Sixteenth Century than any
part of the world is today, and
that the selfishness, which is
profiteering, is a fixed part of
human history, which has its
changeless ebb and flow.
Another class buffets the singer,
and rolls the thunder of protest,
declaring the world is going to
the devil and that the only way
to halt the march is to sound the
alarm.
Which is righti Is it better
to be a truthful pessimist than
an optimistic liari Is it better
to be the honest policeman who
rings the midnight alarm, than
the sluggish watchman who cries
"twelve o'clock and all's well,"
when the foundations of the Re-
public are crumblingi
Perhaps both classes have their
uses. Perhaps both are necessary
to preserve the balance between
reform and apathy.
Happy is the man who, amid
the clashing cries, can believe and
say, Goods in His heaven, all's
right with the world!"

Speed Drug
Control
THROUGH the vigorous ad-
vncacv of the Hearst news

vocacy of the Hearst news
papers, the Miller bill to
regulate imports and exports of
habit-forming drugs, which long
slumbered unheeded in a Congress
sional pigeonhole, has now passed
both branches of the Congress.
1t provides, among other things,
that control of the entire traffic
in narcotics be vested in three
members of the Cabinet, who
shall permit and regulate manu-
factures for medicinal purposes
only and prevent shipments to or
from any country that does not
cooperate in suppressing the vice.
So far as immediate law can
go, this measure promises an ef-
fective check upon the excessive
importation of opium and CO.
caine into this country.
1t also makes possible adequate
international concert to stamp out
the dope evil.
Meanwhile there are in the
United States upwards of mil
lion drug addicts whose plight is
so pitiable as to call for additional
action.
In the adjoining cartoon the
artist pictures vividly the terrible
grip of the drug habit upon its
victim. Legislation curbing the
imports of opium and stringently
regulating it's sale, though ur-
gently necessary, is not enough.
Our States need institutions in
which drug habitues may receive
skilled treatment. A large per-
centage of them are not criminals,
but respectable people who con-
tracted the habit during painful
illnesses when physicians, to al
leviate unbearable pain, were
obliged to administer narcotics.
! To herd such persons with crimi-
nails is indecent and inhuman and
ineffective.
To segregate them for a short
period as respectable unfortu-
mates who are sick, to treat them
as you would treat other victims
Of disease, is to aid them to re-
cover from the habit and 70 re-
store them again to the com

A NeU Task
for Congress
rHE United States Supreme
Court has declared uncon-

Court has declared uncon-
stitu utional the Federal Child
Labor Law of 1919. In 1918 the
1916 Child Labor Law met the
same fate.
In both cases the court found
that the Federal Government was
attempting to interfere with the
Constitutional right of individual
States to regulate their internal
affairs.
The Federal law prescribed only
a minimum of protection for child
workers. 1t forbade employment
of children under fourteen years.
1t forbade children from fourteen
to sixteen to work more than eight
hours a day. 1t forbade the en-
ployment of children from four
teen to sixteen in mines and
quarrles.
Since 1919 this law took $50, 900
children out of work which was
still allowed in backward States.
The 10000 children are now
returned to toll. For example,
there are nine States where chill
dren under fourteen will be en-
ployed in coal mines as soon as
the strike is settled.
In sixteen States children under
sixteen will now be worked over
eight hours a day. In Rhode
Island and Delaware the State
laws allow children to be worked
ten hours a day, fifty-four hours
a week. In Georgia it is ten
hours a day, sixty hours week.
In Alabama eleven hours a day,
sixty hours a week.
Nothing apparently remains but
a Constitutional amendment. The
amendment should empower Con-
gress to legislate in the WHOLE
field of industrial welfare, such
as hours and conditions of en-
ployment, social and accident in
surance.
1t is utterly impossible for such
legislation to proceed by State
action, for the liberal States can
not ALONE put burdens upon
their manufacturers which make
it impossible for them to compete
with manufacturers in backward
States allowing the exploitation
of the weak.
A Constitutional amendment be-
gins with the passage Of a joint
resolution by Congress. This de-
cision of the Supreme Court gives

Because Leigh Hunts home town
was merged with Kansas City, Kan,
it may be necessary to secure lot
of legal information regarding the
exact place where the Democrat can
didate for governor lives. Hunt filed
today as a gubernatoria1 candidate.
His petitions showed he was resi-
dent of Rosedale. But his home town
has lost its identity and the matter
ed up to the attorney generals Of
flee.
When Hunt became a candidate he
received his mail in Rosedale. His
petitions were printed accordingly.
Recently, tho. Rosedale became a part
of Kansas City and Governor Allen
has signed the proclamation uniting the
two towns. Now Hunt offers his
nominating petitions as resident of a
town that doesn't exist.
1t may be that under the law Hunt
is automatically moved to Kansas
City. 1t may be that he cannot use
his petitions and must secure new ones
or file by declaration. l. J. Petit
john, secretary of state. is holding up
the petitions pending a final legal rul-
ing.
Hunt is rated as one of the real con-
tenders in the Democrat race for gov
ernor. He was a colonel in the Rain
bow division and one of the most
popular men in the world war service
from Kansas. He is contractor and
rated as a millionaire.
Other candidates who filed today in
cluded: A. S. Allphin, Kinsley, Demo
crat candidates for congress in the
Seventh district and Thomas w. Nc
Gill, Wilsey, Socialist candidate fol-
congress in the Fourth district.
