The Little Girls Apple

ENIPPANT Eastern newspapers have
l. criticized the action of u. s. GUS
toms inspector in refusing to allow an
Iowa youngster TO bring ashore an apple
and orange at New York because gov
eminent order prevents importation Of
fruits and plants from certain countries
of Europe.
That's carrying things entirely too
far" said these critics.
But was it?
The agricultural department order was
designed TO insure the exclusion of fruit
pests. Any violation, however slight, is
likely to bring in scourge for our farm
ers and fruit growers. Failure to observe
such little things has caused this country
hundreds of millions of dollars.
For more than 80 years the government
has been fighting the dread boil weeyil
simply because no attention was paid TO
il when it first crossed the Mexican
boundary into Texas. Now the annual
loss TO our cotton crops from weevil dam
age is estimated by the department of
agriculture at more than S200,000000.
The chestnut tree blight, which has
ruined this magnificent species. got a
start the same way. The pink boil worm,
the corn borer, the Japanese beetle and
numerous other pests all originated
abroad.
So, while it is unfortunate that the lit
tie girls feelings had TO be hurt, she
probably forgot it in Is minutes In the
case of some of our imported insect pests
the country may never be able to forget
them.

state that from 20 to 80 department of
justice detectives are on hand to look
after the governments interests"
The government apparently intends to
give itself square deal in this case. Sem
ators Walsh and Wheeler will not be per-
mitted to drug the jury or otherwise tam
per with the true course of justice.
But it seems the government is little
bit tardy in this zeal to look after its own
interests
Would it not have been well for the
government to have had just two or three
of those agents on the trail of Colonel
Stewart, oil man, and thus prevented his
undignified flight to Mexico just at the
time the government needed him at Chey-
enne?
And wouldn't it have been a splendid
idea for the department of justice to have
guarded its own interests by making
doubly sure that the indictments against

Jackie Cooaan Retires
JACKIE COOGAN is to retire sa,

Jackie COOGAN is TO retire says
j word from Hollywood.
Wherein Jackie enters new bid for
undying fame He is the first rich and
famous parsonage in history to retire for
the purpose of going to SCHOOL,
Jackie is going to take the hard knocks
of the classroom and the playground so
he can grow up to be regular citizen.
He's going to forget about acting and
adulation and learn what it feels like TO
be an ordinary little boy with an ordi-
nary boys problems and worries.
All of which is one of the most sensi-
BILE ideas to enanate from Hollywood in
q long time.
No film career, no fortune, can be
worth the sacrifice Of boys boyhood.
No money in the world can buy for this
child the things he will gain from life by
leaving his gold-strewn pathway for a
rocker road.
And what's more, this investment of
whatever genius the Coogan boy may
possess will undoubtedly pay big divi-
dends few years from now.
When Jack returns to the screen a
young man, he'll be better actor for his
training off stage. He will learn things
from living with us ordinary folks that
he couldn't learn any other way.

Forced Labor Is ont

A DECISION of the United States SUI
IA preme court practically ends the Kan
sas Court of Industrial Relations. An in
teresting experiment has run its course,
Led by Henry j. Allen then governor, the
Kansas legislature some years ago set up
court and gave il the power of compul-
sorry arbitration in disputes between ems
ployers and employees. Exercise of this
power was limited, of course, to situations
in which the welfare of the public was
affected.
Well, the experiment hasn't been sue
cesSful. Readers are familiar with the
turmoil that enSued in Kansas as the new
court endeavored to carry out the work
assigned to il. Sam Mowat, miners lead
er, went to Jail rather than comply with
the law and-Supreme tragedy William
Allen White came mighty near doing the
same for daring to say he believed the
strikers in certain case were nearer
right than the employers. 1t was fortu-
nate for the United States that Kansas,
rather than one of the industrial states,
elected to try the experiment; there might
have been really serious consequences in
a highly industrial state.
Here is what was wrong with the Kan

say that men can be compelled to work.
oddly enough, the present supreme court
decision resulted from complaint that
the Kansas court was attempting to COM
pei capital, as well as labor, to work.
Forced labor went out of the American
scheme of things at the very beginning of
the republic and no state, not even self
righteous Kansas, can put it back.
The Kansas idea never had but one leg
to stand on That was the rights of the
public More often than otherwise the
public is a victim of labor disputes. The
Kansas court was launched just at the
time when many men in national public
life were declaiming the necessity for pro-
tecting the public against the hardships
growing out of strikes.
Now we are back just where we were.
Kansas didn't find the way Probably no
law-making body ever will find the way.
1t does not seem to be job for govern
ment. Perhaps it is up to the public itself.
