Stars in Southern Cross

The Southern cross is not q phe-
nomenon. 1t Is the popular name for
Southern constellation situated near
the Antarctic circle, and therefore
never visible in northern latitudes
1t consists of four bright stars, to
which fancy, aided by Christian as
sociations, gives the cruciform shape.
Two brilliant stars, which mark the
summit and foot Of the Southern
cross, have nearly the same right as
cension. The constellation, there
fore, is almost vertical when passing
the meridian, and these two stars act
as pointers to the Antarctic pole

the former attorney general as
sociating with any of the labor
leaders, farm leaders or friends
of the people in Washington and
so far as his acquaintances in
Washington are concerned we feel
like taking him at his word for
once. 1t is too bad a judge pre-
yerfts Harry from making the
truth a public record.
Daugherty said that the state

was such that there were men in
Washington who were ''hell bound

CHILD LABOR FIGHT
Will Be Continued, Says Sen
ator Walsh, Criticising
Lying Tactics of
Opponents

Washington-In speech in this
city, Senator Walsh, of Montana, in
dicated that the child labor amend
ment foes are premature when they
say that proposal has been defeated.
Other amendments, he said, have met
reverses, only to be later adopted,
through the changed viewpoint of
state legislatures.
Senator Walsh criticized the "out-
rageous campaign of misrepresenta-
ton" carried on by opponents of the
amendment, and pointed out that it
did not prohibit children from work
ing nor interfere with the rights of
parents to control thir children.
Contrary to the accepted idea, I"
said Senator Walsh, "theSouth is not
the largest employer of child labor.
In New Bedford, Mass, Is per cent
of the children are workers, mostly in
the mills. This is a common thing
in factory towns"
In a recent speech in the senate,
Senator Walsh denounced the Nation
al Manufacturers Association for its
opposition to the amendment. He
showed the connection James Emery,
attorney for the association, had with
Mulhall. notorious lobbyist
Boston.-Se Senator Walsh, of Mon
Montana, addressed the constitutional
law committee of the state legislature
in behalf of the federal child labor
amendment. The legislature has not
acted on the amendment, though it is
agreed that the recent popular ref
erendum, which defeated the amend
ment, is handicap for friends of the
child labor ban.
In giving his reasons why the
amendment should be approved, Sen
ator Walsh said that the most ride
ulous" claim of amendment foes was
the one which attributed the origin of
the movement to the bolshevists of
Moscow.
