that is the method by which Stan

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN

Ordinary intellects unable, in
their distinctions between right and
wrong, to split hairs may find them
selves perplexed when they see one
individual. who administers a deadly
poison. sent to the death chair and
another fined or sent-to Jail for a
brief term. In one instance the law
and the courts regard it foul murder
In the other-something else.
A place Is raided and there are
found such deadly poisons as wood
alcohol being compounded into drink
for the unsuspecting. with blindness
or death as the result Of drinking.
Are those engaged in thus prepar-
ing and selling poison--not slow
poison--by the quart for ten dol
lars, are they punished for murder?
We do not recall any instances
where they have been.
The individual who kills another
when crazed by dope, or by liquor,
or by passion, IL convicted-and
few of them are-is condemned as
a murderer. The individual, who de-
liberately, for tho sake of getting
few dollars. plans to kill or in
his fellow human beings
Is termed n ''bootlegger" and per-
nitted after a time to 60 free to re-
sumo his fiendish pursuit. 1t Is diff
ficult to conceive of more heartless,
inhuman monsters than those who
pcddle wood alcohol for gain.
What does the law mean to them?
What do the courts mean to them?

Dear Sir:
l read with much interest your

the danger of allowing such bureau
cratic power as will certainly be
established IL the proposed Child
Labor Amendment is ratified by the
states. Your argument is well taken
and will doubtless have very much
needed effect.
However, in concluding ! note
that you say there are "a few
thousand children" SO unfortunate
>as to live In states which have not
outgrown barbaric notions. There
fore. believe YOU viii be- glad to
know that you have inadvertently
oyerstated the case. AS far as In
dustriai employment Is concerned,
there are now only II children en-
ployed legally in all the states of the
union. With one exception every
state In the union has child labor
iimita that are equally a. high as
these laid down In the two former
child labor laws OF the Federal gov
eminent. This state Is Georgia,
which allows orphans and children
Of dependent mothers to work be-
tween the ages Of IL and IA when
they secure special permits. Only
42 such permits have been issued
this year and only q are in force
today. this ~ being the instance
cited above. And Georgia will
strike out the special permit section
