Child Labor Cannot Be Consistent With
American System of Education
By SENATOR MEDILL MCCORMICK of Illinois

Figures available indicate that as a result Of
last Mays decision of the Supreme court invali-
dating the child labor act, the number of children
employees in industry has already increased 20 to
80 per cent. Unless congress be empowered by con-
stitutional amendment to act plainly, matters will
grow worse. We have no recourse but to amend
the Constitution for the sake of the children who
otherwise will be driven into the mills of the coun-
try to their own injury.
Child labor it is obvious, cannot be accepted as

thing was done which it was necessary
to do, viz. that the proper publication
was made, the election held in the man
ner required by law, the necessary legal
votes to constitute a majority, proper
returns made to the secretary of state,

him, ETC. That's common sense"
Is it common sense exclusively?
Doesn't it SAVIOR of technicalities, too?
Fairly interpreted the former judges
opinion represents two kinds of think
ing First, it would be absurd, he be-
lieves, if county away out in the
"sticks" could prevent all the other
counties from adopting an amendment
If it could do so, for example, by fall
ing or refusing to publish the proposed
amendment as required by the organic
law. Few people would deny that this
is Common sense" But the eX-judge's
other method of reasoning is subject to
attack-and on the very ground whereon
he attacks the idea that an amendment
can be nullified by sheer technically
According to his second way of think
ing, the governors proclamation is "the

he contends, that the governor would
not announce that an amendment had
been adopted unless it had actually been
adopted in full compliance with all legal
requirements. In other words, nobody
has right to go back of the governors
proclamation.
This former Judge, together with all
other people of like convictions, is re-
spectfully invited to consider the fresh
fact that a federal court has declared
invalid the textbook Contracts" which
called for the expenditure of about ST.
100000 of the taxpayers money. Gov
ernor Neff was in favor OF the fulfill
ment of those contracts" by the state
government. In fact, he caused the at
torney generals department to prepare
resolution proclaiming the alleged valid
ity OF the Contracts" and that resolu-
ton was adopted by the Board of Edit
cation, of which the governor is a
member.
But the federal court declared the
contracts" invalid; they were invalid
despite the fact that the governor had
said that they were valid.
In short, the federal court refused to
accept the governors opinion and acts
as Conclusive presumption" that the
law had been complied with. 1t went
back of the governors opinion and acts,
and found that the law had not been
complied with. 1t refused to recognize
the governor as the sovereign ruler OF

WHEN LAWS FAIL.

Although it is demonstrated almost
daily that governmental power is weak
ened by legislation designed to oyer
throw natural laws, the tendency to
regulate" all human affairs by man.
made statutes seems to be increasing.
There are few if any amendments to
the United States Constitution which
have accomplished their original objects
the more times the organic law is
amended. the weaker it becomes as a
whole. Yet demand for further amend
ments is increasing.
A fair illustration of this tendency is
found in the latest demand of the Ma
tional Woman's party. Members of that
organization were instrumental in bring
ing about the adoption of the nineteenth
amendment. giving women the right of
suffrage. That amendment has not full
ly achieved its original purpose; hun
dreds of thousands of American women,
although legally entitled to vote, never
go near the polls.
Now the Woman's party is advocat-
ing the adoption of an amendment to
DllHS ABOUT absolute eQudlty between
the sexes. 1t defines absolute eqealtv"
in many terms, some of them political,
some religious and some moral or even
biological. For example. the amendment
which they propose would prescribe a
Single standard" for the two sexes.
Does "the law" as at present consti-
tuted, provide for double standard p
OF course not. Then how could "sin-
gle standard" be established, even if the
government of every country in the
world should order its establishment?
The only possible way to effect such
a moral reform as the Woman's party
is aiming at is by education. Legisla-
ton, or an addition to the organic law,
is not an educational force, within itself.
The greatest educational force in the
world is already in the hands of women
the mothers of the land-if they will
but use it. A mothers teachings are
more powerful than all the statutes or
constitutional amendments that could be
devised. If that force fails to produce
results, it is absolutely futile to depend
upon legislation for what is lacking.

ONLY A MEMORY

If the League of Nations Lad not
already been dead, it might be said that
the Curzon note on reparations tolls
the knell of that remarkable institution.
For Americans, one part OF the note
should have peculiar interest. 1t is
that part in which arbitration OF the
|reparations controversy is suggested.
Why shouldn't the matter of fixing
Germany's ability to pay her creditors
be left to the decision Of the Leagues
reparations commission? Simple because
the commission "has become the mere
instrument of Franco-Belgian policy"
Here Americans who have advocated
this country's entry into the League
might say that the reparations commits
sion would not have become a tool of
France and Belgium if America had
signed the Versailles treaty. To the
extent that Americas representatives
might have been able to offset the pro-
French tendencies of the commission,
such remark would contain an element
of truth. But how would the action
Of France have been affected? Her &C
tual invasion of Germany has been a
demonstration of her dsrespect for all
considerations save her own plans.
If America had been a member of
the League she would have insisted
upon observance, at least in the spirit,
of the Versailles treaty. She could not,
in honor, have taken any other attitude.
Are we to flatter ourselves with the
notion that France would have paid any
more attention to Our protests against
! invasion of the Ruhr than she paid to
the protests of Great Britain against
that selfsame enterprise? And if Amer
ica's protests had been ignored, what
would have been the proper reaction for
this country? Could we have meekly
resigned ourselves to a position Of utter
impotence, while the French were taking
matters into their own hands?
The least serious outcome which could
!, reasonably be assumed would have been
the embroiling Of the United States If
the controversy in which Great Britain
and France are now engagcd-a con
: troversy that might easily develop, ant
: very suddenly, into another war.
: Great Britain asserts that France, II
invading Germany, violated the Yer
4 sailles treaty. The French have sale

= But even though the British regar

partial body for arbitration. The. moral
which should commend itself to Ameri-
cans is that the British are unwilling for
the League of Nations, through the
reparations commission, to have any
thing to do with the settlement of the
controversy; they would call in the
international court-the tribunal which
the late President Harding was anxious
for the United States to join.
If France has violated the Versailles
treaty, and Great Britain is unwilling to
let League organization pass upon the
main part of the controversy created by
that alleged violation, then it would
seem conservative to conclude that the
treaty and the League couldn't be any
"deader" even if they had been KILLED
by mutual agreement of the signatories
OH the very day of their creation.

THE FLAG AT BELLEAU WOOkl

At the command of the greatest of!
living French soldiers, the French flag,
was lowered in Belleau Wood. The
Stars and Stripes was hoisted in its'
place, there to remain permanently.
No nation could pay more impress
sive homage to another nation than
that which found expression in this
tribute of France TO American valor.
The obeisance of the Tricolor to the
Red, White and Blue exhausts the ca
liabilities of ceremonial courtesy.
10 oratory could equal the mute
eloquencc OF those two flags. The
lowering of the one and raising of
the other tod all that tongue could
tell, music peal forth and the dia-I
rason of cannon proclaim of what was
symbolized in the ceremony winch

The hallOwed association of the
scene were broidered with the aureole
of emblematic grace. The emotions
of men were stirred 10 the depths.

"The men who died here are safe.
They will be guarded by us relig-

The soil thus consecrated to Amer

blood.
Justice to the dead. justice TO the
living, formed the granite substance
from which was carved the ceremon-
ial beauty Of the act which has set
apart Belleau Wood as American.
Time. place, strategic decisiveness,
fighting personnel made it distinctive

such it became representative of many

IS THE GOVERNOR SOVEREIGN;

When does an amendment to the
Texas constitution amend? That ques-
ton, raised by the attorney generals
ruling which resulted in the abandon
ment of plans for the holding of a high
way amendment election on July % Of
this year, has drawn fire from a former
district judge, A. s. Fisher. AS para
phrased by the Dallas News, Mr.. Fish
cr's contention is this:
''If the people OF Texas vote on an
amendment to the constitution of the
state and enough of them vote in favor
of it, then when the formality of count
ing the ballots and proclaiming the result
is over, the amendment amends, and al
the technicalities since Blackstone cant
jar it loose"
That sounds plausible; it IS almos
eloquent But wait. Judge Fisher says
that when the governor issues procla
nation that the amendment has received
the endorsement of the people, the pre-
sumption becomes conclusive that every
