Despite justified criticism of the
United States supreme court as an
enemy of progress, occasionally the
court hands down a decision that
makes for liberty and advancement
The recent decision holding that the
striking railroad shopmen convicted
of contempt of court were entitled
to jury trials is case in point.
Another recent supreme court deci-
sion worthy of praise was that hold
ing that a confession obtained by
third degree" methods should not
have been admitted as evidence at
the trial of a Chinaman convicted on
murder charge.
The third degree" method of ex-
torting confessions" should not be
tolerated for a moment in any civil
lIeu HdllOIi. IL is Unfair anu cTuel,
destructive of the accused persons
constitutional rights and there is not
the slightest excuse for its employ
ment 1t is on par with obtaining
confessions by torture, which was
supposed to have been abolished with
the passing of the Middle Ages
If the supreme court decision hits
the third degree" deadly blow, the
decision will be big forward step.
Every fair-minded person will hope
that it ends this barbarous method
of obtaining confessions" from
helpless prisoners.

CHILD LABOR

The federal child labor amendment,
now pending before the various legis-
latures, is a vital issue. 1t should
command the energy of every we'll
wisher of our country and its future
citizens.
Guile, evasion, mystification and
fraud are used by opponents of the
amendment to deceive and delude. A
simple proposition is pictured as an
unheard-of process. Timid souls are
frightened by tales of monstrous
legislative Brobdingnagian devouring
children as it stalks through the land.
1t is the ancient wolf" cry, the favor
ite device of those who profit by
wrong.
The right of little ones to their day
of happy childhood should be as fun
damental as the adults right to lib
erty and free speech. The adults
right can not be checked by imaginary
boundary lines of township, county or
state. Neither should the children's
rights. States rights is legal tic-
ton, as is police power of the state" ;"
No court has defined or marked the
limitation of either term.
When the fathers declared in the
constitution that congress shall reg
ulate interstate commerce" they did
not dream of the powers govern
ment now exercises over Transports
ton. Public opinion has made an
extension of these powers possible.
The wide sweep of the three words
is indicated by Chief Justice Taft:
TO regulate in the sense intended
Tin the constitution is to foster, pro-
tect and control the commerce with
appropriate regard to the welfare of
those who are Immediately concerned,
as well as the public at large, and to
promote it's growth and insure its
safety" (Dayton-Goose Greek Rail
way Company VS.. Interstate Com
merce Commission.)
The same development of other So
cial questions is seen on every side,
yet when it proposed that children be

A WARNING

In another column of this issue will
be found letter to the Press from
the secretary of Trades Council in
which is called the attention of the
wholesale violation by Hamilton en-
ployers of the state laws regarding
the employment of women and girls
1t has been reported that girls and
women employed in mills and other
places are compelled to work as many
as thirteen and fourteen hours per
day. The employees report that they
know they are working longer hours
than is permitted by law, but that
they don't dare to complain as it
means the losing of their jobs if they
do. Trades Council is going to take
steps to stop this practice. Trades
Council doesn't wish to cause trouble

at least given the same consideration
as cattle afflicted with hoof and mouth
disease, objection is raised. In every
state the principle of child protec-
tion is accepted. In some the prin-
ciple is loosely applied, but it exists
just the same. 1t is now proposed to
extend that principle to federal
affairs, as matter of self-preserva-
tion for the child and the nation
Opponents of the amendment claim
that congress will outlaw the labor of
all boys under 18 years of age.
The alarmists ignore the federal
child labor laws of 1916 and 1919
which were declared unconstitutional
Then congress believed it had the
power to regulate child labor. 1t did
not outlaw child labor of 1S years
1t placed ID years as the limit.
Friends of the amendment must
remember that when the states ac
cept this proposal, that does not stop
child labor. Legislation by congress
| is necessary. The amendment is
merely an enabling act. 1t author
ICES congress to do what the supreme
| court said it could not do.
Every humane instinct should i'm
| pei trades unionists and sympathiz
ers to enter intellectually into this
fight to protect childhood.

When Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and the little fat Captain and Raggedy Ann's magical hobby horse left Walter and his mama and daddy they walked down the path through the deep, deep woods until they came to the Captains little magic boat.
 This was wonderful little white boat which the kind Wizard had made with his magic charms and the little fat Captain had invited the Raggedys to go with him for a sail.
 Now that Walter and his mama and his daddy and the kind Wizard are living in the pretty little Hap py Town, they will not care to go for a sail until next year. Then l shall come back and take them to Treasure Island to hunt for more buried treasure, so that they will have more gold pennies to buy things for their neighbors.
 So the Raggedys and the little fat Captain went aboard the pretty little white magic boat and the lit tle boat glided out over the smooth waters of the sea. We will just. let the little white magic boat sail in any direction it wishesl" the little captain laughed, Then we will be surprised when we sail into an ad- venture l spect!"
 So, Raggedy Andy went into the little cabin and brought out a lot of cream puffs and ice cream cones so that they could sit upon the front deck and enjoy the ride while they enjoyed the goodies, and, just as they had finished eating the last cream puffs and ice cream cone and Raggedy Andy had just started into the cabin for more, they all heard loud boom" and a cannon ball went skipping over the water in front of the little white boat.
 My gracious! the lItlle Cdptdih cried, That means stop. Now who could be so rude, I wonder!"
 Hal" Raggedy Ann said as she peeped around the corner of the cabin. Its a great big ship with a black flag! That must be the Pirates, sure-pop!"
 That's just who they are!" the little Captain cried as he viewed the large boat through spy glasses, Real for sure Pirates! Not pre- tend Pirates like the crew of my old boat. What shall we do?

 But I had no mind to permit Katie's return to her absurd and gloomy doubts of Lee Chow's in- tentions, and l raised my voice in pcremptory call;
 Marion, Junior Come and thread the sticks now, Your fire is surely built up by this time, and when you finish this you may dig for clans with Lee Chow"
 "Stcck Around, Tea Chop!"
 They are obedlent children, and they promptly obeyed me, but l knew that the promise of the clam digging lent wings to their feet, something l had planned deliber- ately, l wanted no tiniest semblance of reluctance when they came over to Katie.
 was rewarded when I saw my little maids face beam happily, a contentment which was only par italy clouded by the sight of Lee Chow, who, after taking careful survey of the brightly burning fire, plodded after them.
 Katie, I can thread sticks" Jun for pleaded, tugging at her skirts. Mama, you promised l should thread a stick all myself"
 And so you shall, dear" I an- swered, even as Katie, laidYdown the knife with which she was cut ting up the steak into pieces about two inches square, and gave Jun for 8 bear hug"
 Sure ting, ba-bee," she said with a superbly insolent glance at Lee Chow. You steeck by your Katie, und you do eferyting. Get the sticks now. got steak all sliced, und onions und bacon won't take but two shakes of leetle sheeps' tail"
 The children, giggling, ran to the car after the sticks that had been prepared for the pirate steak" we had promised them, and Katie turned to Lee Chow with the first words she had vouchsafed to the suave Oriental.

The Way siadge Saved Katie's

'Face" Before Lee Chow
 If there had been irony in Lee Chow's obeisance when he oheyed Marions suggestions concerning the laying of the fagots to build the outdoor fire there was none whatever In the low bow he swept her, when flushed, excited and tri- umphant, she held up her hand in an exultant little gesture as the flame from her single match roared through the wood.
 knew l could do 1t with one match!" she cried, with a pretty whole hearted enthusiasm which robbed her sentence of any sem blance of braggadocio, and Lee Chow's words of tribute ran be- heath her caroling boast like a chorus.
 "Lil' boss lady yer smart, ver' smart, yer smart" he kept repeat ing until I wondered If he would ever leave off the monotonous phrase.
 Dot old Chink shoost like vun of desc nefer-stop alarm clocks, " Katie whispered close to my ear, and Katie's stage whisper would arouse any sleeping army, "Eef he wind heemself cop, eet take heem two-tree hours to run down."
 I shot quick apprehensive glance at Lee Chow, but he evil dently was bent upon obeying the old admonition to See nothing, hear nothing" and the rest of it. At any rate his face was absolute Iy impassive as he piled wood upon the fire, meticulously carry ing out the directions of Marion, who, l saw, was curiously like her mother in the precision, resource fulness and enthusiasm which she brought to any undertaking.
 Junior, much like an adoring puppy in his attitude, was busily handing small sticks to her and Lee Chow, and going wild with glee, when under her careful supervision he was permitted to throw one stick on the blaze.
 I saw that there was no use in attempting to separate Junior from the fire building until the piling of wood on the fire was con- pleted. Drawing Katie away from the blaze, I handed her the meat had taken from the car, with the remark that I would help her cut 1t up.
 Madge's Diplomacy
 I had not even given her a sig nal for quiet when she made hel disparaging comparison between Lee Chow and the alarm clock, fol I saw that elation over Marion'' success had dwarfed Katie's terror of the Chinese to point where she was beginning to enjoy the day. Katie's volatility and volu' bility are sure to triumph ovel anything depressing if given time and the fillip which Marion's tri umph afforded was just what sh' needed.

Even though the judge from the bench reprimanded her, as was told in the newspapers at the time of the trial, for her heart less conduct and betrayal of r>.h her lover and her husband, Jim mic seems still to believe in her My only hope is that he will find her out before he marries her.
 Give my regards to that hand some husband of yours. Isn't he too good looking to be allowed to go about without keeper in the wilds of Hollywood?
 I know. dear, that you are the sweetest woman in all that cesspool of scandal, but I have never heard of sweetness being given it's full de- gree of reward.

Letter From Sally Atherton
 Beatrice Summers, Continued

A few months ago Jimmie came down here to visit me. He had still stayed on with MT. Hamilton after Sam died.
 He immediately felt called upon Co become insanely jealous of Mr. Prescott because I would not leave some very important business we were transacting at the time and give my entire attention to him. Finally he went back to Pitts burgh in huff.
 ' never heard word from him until the other day when he wrote me long letter describing another woman ill the most enthusiastic terms. Before I had finished it l found that he had gone and gotten himself in an awful mix-up by be- coming infatuated with a little Samp - thoroughly bad woman - who was the heroine of first page story about six months ago when she managed to get her lover killed and her husband sent up for life for his murder.
 Of course, Jimmie thinks the lady in question is "a poor mis- Judged angel instead of "a rag, a bone, and hank of hair" and he not only wanted but expected me to champion her when I got over to Pittsburgh. I refused, naturally, but you know am not at all diplo- natic and expect my letter was rather drastic.
 confess I am somewhat leery of the whole thing and I have a Aunch that she is going to make me trouble. I know that as now I have written and definitely refused to have anything to do with the lady I shall always be walking ever a slumnering volcano if she is as dangerous as I think she is. Be- sides all this I shall have to work in the same plant with Jimmie, who will hate me with a deadly hatred even when he finds out, as he will. be sure to do, that have called the turn on the character of his tnamorata. He probably will hate me worse then than before, not only for doubting his judg- ment in the first place but also for finding out that mine was better.
 Mir. Prescott is coming back here tomorrow and then probably will know exactly how our departure will be arranged. Doubtless I shall SO to Pittsburgh as soon as lie ar- riyes here so that l can start in there immediately.
 will write you again as soon as I have seen Leslie.
