It was not the blood in Egypt,

lust for power in the minds of

that lust was war. All nations

To the Editor OF The Times:
The Supreme Court Of the
United States has decided that
Federal laws regulating child
labor are unconstitution al-that
they would infringe upon the
rights Of the respective States,
etc.
with certain omissions. the
preamble to the Constitution
reads:
1--WE, the people Of the United
States, In order to pro-
mote. the general welfare, and
secure the blessings Of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity, do
ordain and establish this Consti-
tuition for the United States OF
America"
SO far as have been able to
learn, the trainers OF the Constr.
tuition regarded, and a majority
of the people" who give the mat
ter any thought still regard, the
Constitution "as forming a ma
tional Government for the people
of the United States"
Accepting, as we must, the de-
cision of the Supreme Court as
it stands, there must be some
way under the Constitution to
prevent the exploiting OF the
children Of our land without add
ing another amendment. one
certain way I believe to be the
utter ignoring Of any legislation
which might be proposed for the
control of child labor. and the
preparation of q bill which will,
under the above-Quoted clauses,
make the attendance OF all chill
dren at public schools compulsory,
between the sixth and the eight
zenith birthday.
Repeated decisions Of the SUI
preme Court, the tribunal author
lied by the Constitution, have
settled the question regarding the
power of Congress to lay and coll
. lect taxes in order ito promote
the general welfare in so far
as the laying Of tariff is con.
cerned. How much more will the
general welfare be promoted
should Congress lay and collect
taxes for the purpose Of es-
tablishing nationwide compulsory
education!
They should not be permitted to
stop with making attendance at
public schools compulsory but
should go farther than that and
establish a National University,
not necessarily centralized, where
at least one-half the graduates Of
the high schools could carry on
advanced studies in their chosen
line for q reasonable period at
Government expense.
The university should provide,
in addition to secondary schools,
colleges Of agriculture INCLUDING
a course in animal husbandry
and a veterinary course); COM
merce, (State, Interstate and in
ternationaD; diplomacy Sounds
ridiculous, butts it?) domestic
science; engineering (all branches);
government, chow necessarily;
Journalism; law (all branches);
medicine, (all branchesI music,
TALL branches; science. TALL branches)
and such others as may be de-
cided upon as being necessary
or desirable by competent au-
thorities. G. p. p.

By DR.. Alexander Irvine,
Formerly Special Preacher in the
Church Of the Ascension, New
York City.

&C A MERICA. a Family Mat
"A ter" by Charles. w.
IL Gould, is the title OF an
interesting book issued last year
by Scribners. The argument of
the book il set forth as:
Human intelligence has waxed
and waned. Many factors caused
Its decline from the great age Of
Pericles to the darkness of the
eighth, century. The endeavor, of
this essay is to search out the
principal or fundamental cause of
that mental degradation. The
result is taken and applied to
conditions now existing in our
own country-America."
The author hastily but graphi-
cally traces the history Of the
or the origin of the records. He
notes the oncoming and outgoing
OF nations, tribes, races, and asks:
rs there one factor common to
all race advancement, the passing
or the absence OF which is COM
mon to all race decline?" The re-
wer. Yes, there is, and to Mr..
Gould that factor is "Mongrel-
ISM"
MIXING DESTROYED THEM
Blood mixing In Egypt, Greece
and Rome destroyed them all,
and win (unless we take steps to
prevent it, destroy America. So /
7 looked up Petrie on this question
OF mongrelism, and find him
taking an entirely opposite opin-
ion:
within the Mediterranean
area" says DIR. W. M. Flinders
Petrte, "there has been q sue
cession Of civilizations, which
can be most completely followed
In Egypt. There we may see
eight successive periods of growth
and decay and gather some con-
nected view of the regular course
Of civilization. Neither in Egypt
nor any other country has a Pc
Rod of growth ever risen except
from a mixture of races. Such
mixture has always been caused
by conquest"
Then he goes on to tell us just
how the mixers worked out the
salvation Of the mixed. When
Mr.. Gould applies the result of
his Investigations to American
conditions he will find himself as
fatty contradicted in his conclu-
sions.
Americans Of the old stock"
he says, have still left some
rights; the old American blood,
once aroused, can still be counted
upon absolutely"
WHO ARE AMERICANS?
Well, who are they? Are they
Indians = or English2 What is
"the old American blood?" How
pure is it, and what is it's pres
sure? Mr.. Gould eloquently asks
for the repeal of all naturaliza-
ton laws. He urges his fellow
citizen against emotional humani-
tarrianism, whatever that may be.
All OF that may be very patri-
otto, but It is very foolish. There

Barristers' Mess

MOON. Though women
may practice at the bar.
- when it comes to lunching
and dining at the barristers'
mess they sometimes find them
selves excluded. The conserva4
tism Of the legal profession is
irritating some of the new women
barristers, who find the doors of
the barristers' mess on certain
circuits closed to them.
Portia is a trifle respondent
and is urging the formation Of

Assize courts meet in the prov
inces the mess is generally held
in one of the leading hotels. It
is attended on solemn occasions
by the Judge, but for the most
part it is a sort Of exclusive club.
where counsel congregate after
the days work.
The Midland Circuit has de-
cided to exclude women barr!s-
tiers from the membership of it's
mess, and an application from a
woman barrister to become a
member of the Old Bailey mess
was refused.
