RIGHTS OF CHILDREN
Montana Record-HeraIc)
rights Of children

The rights Of children
How strangely those words
would have sounded a century ago.
In that day a parent, under the
law. had q right to the child and
10 the services and earnings OF
the child, but little was said about
the rights of the child and less
still was said about the enforcing
of such rights as might have
existed in the unwritten code oil
the times.
One Of the most encouraging
signs Of the present age is 50
ciety's increasing interest in the
child and the definition of the
rights of children. The change il
public attitude toward the Chile
followed the shift from hand man
ufacture to machine manufacture
The day is past when children
could be worked from II to /
hours a day under d%eplorable con
ditions and at poor wages.
Certain rights of the child ar
today recognized as inalienable.
The extra-legal rights are Tn
right to be we'll born, the right Y
a good environment and the rlgh
TO parental comradeship.
Then there is the legal rights I
an education, to play and TO D
protected from exploitation.
Many children find the prope
environment in their homes pu
others must look for 1t IN IN

and other agencies, is more an

NEEDED: TRAFFIC RULES

With the great and increasing
number of motor cars speeding
along the highways and on the
streets of the towns it is certain
there will be accidents ranging
from slight to the most serious,
To keep these to the lowest pos
sible minimum is the duty OF
drivers and those who have au-
thority over traffic. Probably no
one will dispute that a sane set OF
traffic laws and rules, which are
known to the motoring public and,
SC far as possible, enforced by the
authorities, would be a great aid
in preventing accidents.
At present there appears to be
no local speed limits or traffic
regulations to guide drivers. Cars
speed through the residence
streets at 35 miles an hour. Even
the countrywide rules of keeping
TO the right when meeting, and
passing on the left, after signaling,
when coming up from behind, are
frequently violated. 1t is no I'M
common thing for a speed demon
to rush up from behind and pass
without a signal, II even pass on
the right. Even if they honk' 1t
often is so delayed that it does
the driver ahead no good.

While the battle is on, ana the

The record of election IN recent

This means that a majority oil

Il VOTERS, JOB

At the primaries it is the job OF
the voters, technically known as
the electors, to pick from the var
ious groups of candidates those
best fitted and most worthy to
have places on the party tickets.
Then at the elections they finish
the job.
In Montana and Roosevelt coun-
ty those who go to the polls will,
in a great majority of cases, have
excellent material from which to
pick. He or she is a good citizen
who makes an honest, open-mind-
ed effort to learn the inside facts
about the candidates he does not
already know.
A person who is a candidate for
a state or national office should
tell the public something more
than the history of his past by in
Guiding a declaration of his future
intentions. This is especially true
if the candidate is not now serv-
ing in the office to which he
aspires. If the candidate is now
in the office the voter has a good
chance to get a line on him. IL
he is new, and unknown to the
voter, it is easy to write him a
letter and ask a few questions on
the issues that are important in
If an official is now
serving and his record stands the
test, it is a poor plan to risk a
change.

Facing these solemn facts, we
are driven to conclude that this
issue towers like Shasta, and
glowers like Lassen and Vesuvius.
All platforms should contain a
plank embedded therein in good
faith pledging candidates and
party, if elected, to kill this viper
of indifference which is slowly
but surely eating out the heart of
the republic.
How can it be done?
Easy enough-through the tax
ing power.
Has it ever been done? Yea,
verify!
When? Where?
We recently exhumed the plan
from the New England catacombs,
and present it as a precious find.
1t fits the present situation like
a death mask, and provides a safe
and sure remedy.
It was adopted by the Town OF
Providence at the time of it's or
ganization in 1888, and reads:
at was agreede by the Towne
of Providence that after warning
given to come to the Towne Meet
inc that whatsoever be wanting TO

hour after the time appointed by
him who gave the warning, shall

It was also provided that: VINO
soever shall depart without leave
the Towne Meeting shall pay one
shilling"
