Too Civilized.

Sometimes it seems that the more civilized we
get the more stupid become. Take, for example,
primitive people, the Lifuans of the Loyalty islands.
whom Havelock Ellis describes in his Dance of Life
They had unique plan of warfare.
GAS soon as half a dozen fighters were put out of
action on one side" Ellis writes "the chief of that
side would give the command to cease fighting and
the war was over. An indemnity then paid by
the conquerors to the vanquished /. 1t felt to
be the conquered rather than the conqueror who
needed consolation, and it also seemed desirable to
show that no feeling of animosty was left behind"
How simple that seems. and how logical. AS
matter Of fact, our own civilized" warfare has the
same inevitable outcome in one respect. The VIC
tors pay.
When war is waged, one must foot the bill.
If the conquered can't, the conquerors must How
well we should know that by now!
But the price we pay for our solution is some
thing else. Whereas the primitive people got off
with a few damaged braves, We leave behind mil
lions of slain and crippled and ahead of increased
international hatreds.

Our Double Standard.

In Buffalo, thirty-eight men and women alleged
to be aliens have been held in the county Jail from
two weeks to six months awaiting trial by Secretary
Doak's men for violations of the immigration law.
Their were kept secret. They were arrested
without warrants.
Their trials" will be without juries and mere
hearings before the immigration inspectors who ar
rested them. These act as prosecutors judges,
and jures. Few of the victims have benefit of coun-
SCI. Their only appeal may be TO board in Wash
ington named by Doak.
In Chicago, Doak's men just have raided unem-
ployment and Communist meetings, arresting fifty
persons without warrants. One Nels Kjar, radical
organizer who denounced HooverS labor policies dur
ing the Republican convention has been held since
June.
Doak's department recently ruled that aliens here
students may not work their way through schools
or colleges
These are examples of our treatment of the for
eigners in our midst. Our own Constitution guar
antees protection from warranteSs arrests, from
uryIess trials from persecution for holding political
opinions.
Unless we are Indians, each of the 12OO0000O of
either is an immigrant or the descendant of one.
Why do we have one set of legal morals for new
Corners, another for the rest of us?
In the name of the aliens who built republic,
should make our immigration laws American.

the drop in child labor continued steadily from 1900
and in 1880 the percentage for boys was 113
For girls 1t is still lower OF these between 10 and
Is years, 1912 per cent at work in 1900 and
30 per cent in 1880.
For older children, the percentages rise rapidly.
Forty-one per cent Of the total number of BOYS Is
and II years old were working for wages in 1880 and
% per cent of the girls The average for all children
10 to II years. in 1880 showed 149 per cent of the
boys at work and III per cent of the girls
We will not know just how far we have progressed
toward taking our children from sweatshops fac
tories, mines and fields, where their development is
stunted and their future endangered, until another
census is taken in normal times. when employment
is plentiful.
Yet even If public opinion slowly is winning the
fight against economic ensIavement of children, the
need for constitutional protection against this evil
is as great as ever. Until it exists and children in
one state protected as much as in another the
equality" with which Americans theoretically are
born will be only theory. Nor will the children be
safe from the stress of emergency periods
Enactment of the constitutional ban against child
labor may hasten our realization that the only way
to preserve American home life is to pay family heads
sufficient for them to live decently and keep
their children in healthy environment.

Most Milk Now Is Pasteurized

who had received heated milk
showed a slightly greater average
weight than those who had taken
the raw milk and that they were
one-tenth inch shorter.
A study also was made to find out
whether the children who had taken
the heated milk suffered any less
with diseases commonly associated
with infected milk than did those
who took raw milk.
1t was found that those children
who had received raw milk pre-
dominantly suffered more with
diphtheria, scarlet fever, intestinal
disturbances, and ricketts, than those
who had received heated milk.
AS result, the authorities con-
clude that the growth-promoting
capacity of heated milk, in addition
to the supplementary diet that the
average American child Of from 10
months to 6 years regularly re-
ceives, is not measurably less than
the growth-promoting capacity of
raw milk plus the supplementary
diet.

IT SEEMS TOME BY HE FT07%

U GU GEHRIG must be rated as
IL smart baseball player. And I
am not referring to anything he did
in the last world series or during
the regular season.
He displayed his acumen after the
final out had been called and gloves
and bats laid away. Mr.. Gehrig
was asked whether it was true that
he was going to take the stump for
Franklin Roosevelt, and he replied
simply that he had no intention of
taking the stump for anybody.
He said that he was a ball player,
pure and simple, and did not want
to get mixed up in a racket of which
he was wholly ignorant.
I think that there might we'll be
a sort of gentlemen's agreement be
tween Republicans and Democrats
to let the athletes, articulate or
otherwise, stay at home.
Surely even Mr.. Hoover, who may
need votes very badly, hardly can
welcome those which come to him
because Able Booth is good in a
broken field or because Red eagle
can sling a mean forward pass.

Freedom Goes Deeper

FREEDOM goes vastly deeper
Il than the right to think and
talk politically. It's true basis is
the right to be what one wants
to be.
That right demands opportunity,
above all other things-opportunity
to make an independent start in
life, to dream without unnatural
inhibitions, and to work for reali-
cation of the dream.
We can not be subordinated to
system, group control, or sweeping
regulation on every hand without
losing such opportunity and the
freedom which goes with it.
We need more resistance to the
loss of liberty, whether as brought
about by burdensome government
or the oppressive weight of eco
nomic organization.
We need return of that concep-
ton which visualized mere people
as the most important creatures on
earth.
