CHILD LABOR IN GEORGIA

The campaign against child
labor is getting results in better
state legislation to regulate the
evil. Even Georgia, in which
state conditions are bad, has
passed new child-labor bill.
The new law makes fourteen
years the minimum age limit in
hazardous occupations and pro-
hibits the employment of chill
dren under sixteen after 7 p. m.
or before 6 a. m.
Georgia newspapers supported
the bill, arguing that if the state
did not amend her child-labOr
laws it would offer reason for
the ratification Of the federal
amendment.

DIVIDE AND CONQUER

Before the American people
permitted themselves to get
"all het up over prohibition
they were taking an active and
intelligent interest in such great
issues as are presented by trusts
and monopolies, by an eXtor-
tionate tariff, by inequitable
taxation, by dangerously swollen
fortunes, by class legislation and
class control of government.
Then prohibition came along
and made us bigoted and intol-
Grant of each other, made us in
different to other issues, divided
and embittered the progressive
and liberal elements, split and
enfeebled the democratic party
into which Wilson had infused
virility, and set the stage for an
undisputed reign Of plutocracy.

Up to the People

News from Washington that Wayne
s. Wheeler, general counsel for the
Anfi-Saloon League, is preparing a
bill enlarging the powers of dry
agents to search private homes, is
Just what is needed to awaken the
public to the actualities of VOlstead-
ism. Last November the Anti-SalOCn
League held in Chicago what is called
it's "crisis" convention and if this
proposed bill is to be one of tie re-
suits, the name was we'll chosen.
Mr.. Wheeler, according to an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch, say it is i'm
possible" under present provisions Of
the Volstead law for reinforcement
officers to obtain a search warrant
for entry of private home unless
they have evidence Of sales, and the
purpose Of the new bill is to make
any evidence of manufacturing Of dis
+illed spirits reason for entry"
Operation Of such a law would pro
duce an intoierable situation It
would put the householder, whethe;
an observer of the dry law or not, at
the mercy of every Tom Pry. There
would be abuses that would mean
practically the notification of the
fourth amendment.
Still, this crisis is between the
eighteenth amendment and the fourth
amendment must come sooner or
later. This has been apparent since
the Volstead law for enforcement OF
the prohibition amendment was ep
acted. So it is we'll to have the crisis
come now and get the question set
tied. Either the people are going to
retain their constitutional rights
against unreasonable searches and
seizures, or they are going to aban-
don it at the demand of dry zealots
that the eighteenth amendment maze
superior to the fourth amendment.
1t is up to the people to make
known to Congress their will.-Cir-

The Mitchell Court
Martial

The most remarkable court MARTA
sentence in military history.
This is what the findings in the
case of Col. "Billy" Mitchell have beer
termed by writer's who have review
ed the sensational case which has
been under way at Washington fol
weeks.
The verdict of the court MARTA
was "guilty as charged" and the ver-
dict carries with it suspension from
command and rank and forfeiture Of
all pay for a period of five years.
The sentence now goes to President
Calvin Coolidge, who ordered the
court marital, for final review.
Col. Mitchell has been convicted by
the court martial, but in the eyes OF
the American people he is hero and
martyr to patriotism and the ideals
of liberty. He spoke what he believ-
ed was the truth, and the court mar
tial refused to rule on the truth of
his statements as constituting de-
fense
Long in the public eye, Col. Nit
chell, formerly held the rank Of Maj
or General, and was denoted for
speaking his mind about the service
and his superior Officers and the ad-
ministration. He was sent to an OBJ
scure camp in far away Texas where
it was believed he could cause no
more trouble.
Then came the disaster to the Shen-
andoah. Col. Mitchell issued a state
ment in which he charged the depart
ment officials with responsibility for
the tragedy which cost the lives Of
some Of the navy's best flyers. His
statement was a scathing denuncia-
tion of the entire aircraft policy Of
the United States government.
He was arrested and it developed
that the court martial had been OF
dered by no less person than the
president of the United States him
self, the Commander in Chief of the
Armies and Navies Of the nation.
1t is believed the court martial in
passing its remarkable sentence has
cone SO in an effort to keep Col. Nit
chell under the control of the military
dictators of the nation. For while he
is stripped of rank and pay, he re-
mains in the army, ever at the beck
and call of the military leaders. He
may wear the uniform of the United
States army, but he may not wear
the insignia.
But, as in the closing hours Of the
trial, when in a prepared statement
he reiterated his charges and defied
those he knew were about to sacrifice
him, he will not be kept down. The
voice of Col. Mitchell will ever be
heard ringing down through the ages
warning the American people of their
defenseless position, and placing the
blame on the beauracratic officials
who refuse to heed the warnings.
Col. Mitchell may have been strip
ped of his insignia of rank; he may
have been suspended from his rank
and deprived Of his pay, but even as
today he continues to wear the dis
service cross, the highest
decoration awarded by the war de-
partment, for his gallantry during the
world war, he today is acclaimed by
the public as hero and a national
0pnafactor

Live News From the

Dying in Chicago ought to be the
last thing anyone should want to do
But if you're bound to die in that

Prohibitionists have been
wont to assume that as the old
generation of drinkers of intoXi-
cants died off, the demand for
liquor would decline, and liquor
drinking would become a thing
of the past. That theory is not
working out practically, because
of the new crop of drinkers that
the new generation is producing.
Drinking is probably more general
among young people, especially those
in the upper" classes, than ever be-
FORE Certainly there are more girls
and young women drinkers than ever
before in the history of this country.
The goal of youth today is thrill" f"
and the drinking party supplies it
The penchant for unconventlonallty
that is cultivated so assiduously by

He will be permitted to charge fol

flee late today and declared he fired
the shots which killed F1arry Schartz,
alias Harry Munson, one of the two
men Killed at midnight last night in a
hotel lobby in what police described as
a bootlegger's war.
Fox told officers that three men had
attempted to force him into an auto
mobile at a street corner near the hotel
and that, pursued by the trio, with
drawn guns, he fled into the lobby,
where he turned and emptied his pistol
at his pursuers, killing Schwartz. After
the shooting, Fox said, he fled through
the rear entrance of the hotel.
A few minutes later, he said he heard
shots. Police were inclined to believe
Fox's story, their theory being that
Harry Moran, the other man killed, was
shot when he attempted to flee from
the hotel and was mistaken by
Schwartz companions for Fox. The

NEW YORK, Aug. A denial by

any predictions regadring the future
price of General Motors stock, radioed
back to Wall street from the liner
Olympic today, temporarily arrested
the sensational advance in these shares
which followed the publication of an
alleged interview with the banker
after his departure for Europe last
Saturday.
In a statement issued through the
Morgan firm, Cochran said that he
had authorized no statement of any
kind as to the future price of the
stack which obviously no one could
foretell. He explained, however, that
in response to inquiries he had spoken
with enthusiasm of the earnings, man
agement and prospects of the General
Motors corporation.
General Motors stock, which had
scared to record heights after a fl
nancial news ticker had credited Coch-
ran with forecasting a rise of 100
points in the issue, was subjected to
an onslaught of sellin gtoday, closing
seven points lower at 206 1-2, after
attaining new peak of PA 1-2 at the

At 'today's high point the apprecia-
