FOOD FOR SEASON
ABLE THOUGHT

ABiA i1lOtN n
By reason of It's origin and its as
sociations Christmas time is essen
TALLY the children's season; and what
ever else happens to cause division
of thought, feeling or action, there is
unanimity of sentiment as to making
the little ones happy. 1t may there
fore he regarded as highly appro-
pirate that at this time there appears
the annual report Of James j. Davis,
Secretary of Labor, embodying food
for seasonable thought as to the chill
dren of America.
Mr. Davis has caused the subject
Of child labor to be given very special
attention during the year and has
used the exceptional facilities Of his
department for a number Of impor-
tant surveys made to ascertain the
extent Of this unhealthy economic
factor" And the finding is that bas-
cd upon what is already definitely as
certained, "a complete survey would
indicate that 100000 American chill
dren are now the victims Of prema-
ture toll in the mines and mills ard
factories and fields and homes Of
this country
No wonder the Secretary of Labor
declares with all the force Of his au-
thority that "this is all wrong" Most
emphatically it is all wrong; it is in
human, and it is bad economics, for
upon sound, healthy, and educated
children depend the perpetuity and
the we'll being OF the republic All
the specious argument in the world
will not convince thinking people
that irreparable inJSry is not done
the thousands upon thousands Of chill
dren whose immaturity is exploited,
whose backs are bent with toll before
their frames are set, who are made
prematurcly old in WEAKNESS and in
care, whose natural joyousness Of
spirit is crushed, and who are de-
prived in whole or in pact Of their
educational rights.
Secretary Davis has thc situation
rightly sized when he tells the Aneri-
can people:
! eve are told that al times in some
places children OF II years or therea-
bouts are compelled to labor eight
and 10 and II hours per day in en-
ployment which so exhausts them
that their nerves are frazzled when
night comes and they are unable to
sleep. The destiny Of such poor vic
tins seems clear. When they reach
the age Of manhood and wonsanhood
instead Of being able to do their share
Of the worlds work and Go it effec-
lively and efficiently, they are

ing in the poorhouse, or the mad
house, on the Jail, or the grave. There
is not single defense that can be
urged to this awful system, and every
instinct Of humanity prompts its abo-
lition. But beyond the instinct Of
humanity, ordinary wisdom and pru-
dence Of any government will prompt
it to conserve the physical, mental,
and neral fiber of its growing child
hood merely from the standpoint of
insuring the perpetuation of the gov
eminent
Here is an arraignment of a cruel
system which must shock every right
thinking man and woman who reads
and who thinks. 1t is more import
ant matter than any of the things
about which there is so much discus
sion and in which so much concern is
shown; and it is not creditable that it
should be longer tolerated or consent
cd to. For is can be ended, and that
promptly, by action of the people.
y avs have been enacted by Con-
gress to end the system only to be
stubbornly contested by the interests
which thrive on child labor, and to
meet the fate of being declared I'M
constitutional by the United States
Supreme Court. Some states have
good laws, which are fairly enforced;
but there is no such thing as uniform
ity in these state laws, and what APP
pears to be most required is uniform
ity, something which will provide at
least minimum regulation for all
the country, and which at the same
time would not prevent the states
separately from establishing more
stringent regulations.
This can be arrived at by an
amendment to the Constitution, en-
powering Congress to legislate. That
would be for the children a worth
while present, one worthy of the ma
ton, which as a nation is proved
most kindly of heart TO childhood.
Secretary Davis has given food for
seasonable thought in his report, and
if the thought is followed by action,
as it should be, there will be much ac
complished to assure the happiness
ard the welfare Of children, and to
make for a much better and much
more effective American people.
Along these lines is the essence Of
Americanism. Saginaw News Cour-
