JAPAN

The Washington government isn't worried over the anti-American 'in- cidents," which have occurred Tn Japan since the new United States im- migration law passed. The perpetra- tors have been private individuals and the Japanese officials honestly have done their best to run them down and punish them. But there isn't any question a lot of i'll fleeing exists which may lead to something later.

THE SONG OF THE PTANuT

THE SONG OF THE PEANUT
 GRy Frank R, WeeaNardl
  I'm a dainty little marsel, From Nirginia's sunny land, And wherever there's a circus ! am always in demand, l am found at all the hall games, And I'm at all the county fairs, I'm ihe sure, aee-hieh faverite Of all the vendors wares,
 I've a dread
 Of the Zoo For it sure would be raw
 To be forced
 To Teness In an elephants eraw, 1 always come two to the shell, l am eylindrieally formedi have a super food value When I'm roasted and I'm warmed; l always await your pleasure In a small, neat paper sack, And I'm guaranteed to be fresh Or your money paid back.
 And I shout
 Thank the Lord With my haart nflutter.
 For I might
 Have heen made Into peanut butter.

CHILD LABOR COMPETITION

New England is being hit harder
 hy southern child labor competition
 than any other section of the country.
 The most recent statistics available,
 those of the commerce department Of the government, tell story Of aston
 ishing industrial activity in the south
 ern cotton spinning mills and lethargy
 In tho northern cotton mills.
 More important than any baseball ! league race. boat race or horse race.
 this race between southern and north
 crn mills necessarily goes on, It is
 race for bread and butter, with the
 northern worker going on short ra- | lions while his southern co-worker,
 tolling longer hours at less wages and
 with virtually no limitations as to youth in the mills, Is getting not only the full rations Of bread and butter, but most of the bacon as well.
 It is fortunate indeed that much of Connecticut's prosperity is not bound up with the cotton spinning industry.
 In May active spindle hours worked in the cotton growing. or southern. states, totalled s.742,57O,704. The number of hours worked in the New England states during the same period totalled only 1,s14,19s,506.
 Active hours per spindle in the southern mills was 2l9, whereas in the northern mills 1t was only 102.
 Massachusetts still has more than | twice the number of spindles in any | other state, but they are not operated anything like the southern states. Of nearly 12,O00, 900 spindes in the Bay State, nearly s,o0o,00o were active during May and the active total of spindle hours were 1,122,917,39S.
 Compare this with North Carolina. With nearly 6,00O,00o spindles in place, 5,s2s,775 were working, and their total Of active hours was 1,224,- o22,46s which was 101,105,oes more than the total for Massachusetts.
 South Carolina. with fewer spindles in place and operating than North Carolina, kept them going for 115,- DT3,o52 hours more than the total for 
 The average of active hours per spindle in place for the month was 210 for North Carolina, 23S for South : Carolina, and s5 for Massachusetts.
 How much child labor enters into he record of the southern mills Is not except that employment ,f children In the southern mills ad- has been and Is strong fac or in southern industrial develop nent. It is kind of competition that S unfair to states possessing due re- .ard to the future of the race and S monstrously unfair to the children themselves. The labor employed in t he southern mills, Juvenile and / dults, mostly consists of native born u whites, the poor whites" of the 1, outh.4 f
 Strange to say, objections are being Il oiced in New England to the pro- :, osed child labor amendment to the onstitution. The objections are b ,udest in Massachusetts, Connecticut E nd Rhode Island. This can only be is xplained upon the premise that z, orthern capital Is heavily interested n l southern mills. And a southern tate, Arkansas, was the first to ratify h le amendment. ai

OIL AGAIN

According to officials of the District of Columbia. where ex-Secretary Of the Interior Albert B. Fall, Harry F. Sinclair, Edward L. Doheny and F.. L, Doheny Jr., were indicted on charges growing out of their oil deals, the trial of the quartet will De as good as the senate's Teapot Dome investigation, But the public is skeptical. Judging from the comment. the general belief is that nobody will go to prison as a result of the inquiry, that the cases simply will string along indefinitely until finally they peter out altogether.
