No Fun.

Trubee Dawson, back from Africa,
tells ship reporters that there is no
fun in shooting elephants. His mission
TO the Dark Continent had been that
Of securing four pAchyderms for the
American Museum Of Natural History
Not for sport alone, but for scientific
collection Of specimens, had he under
taken the execution Of the noble beasts
Of the jungle. But it might have been
thought that the hunter instinct would
have risen IN his heart as he tracked
down and slaughtered his prey. A
thousand generations Of his ancestors,
It pardonably might have been sup
posed, would have left him an in
heritance Of stalking impulse, cunning
and Joy In sly pursuit, all leading up to
the thrilling denouement Of telling his
victims.
But in point Of fact, Mr.. Dawson ap-
pears to have become too civilized to
ind any pleasure in such q business.
He says:
1t is depressing to kill an elephant
depressing feeling, one of regret rather
than elation. The immediate reaction
is relief that the incident is over. and
that no one has been hurt. Then, as
you walk UP to the elephant, and you
do that to make sure that he is dead
and you see this magnificent animal
lying lifeless on the ground, you feel
genuinely sorry that it was necessary,
even in the cause Of science and educa-
ton, to kill such splendid animal.
Perhaps . change is taking place in
the human mind with regard to hunt
ing. Mr.. Dawson may be only one OF
great number of persons who nc
longer experience delight in shooting for
shooting's sake. The general develop
ment of such a psychology would imply
kind Of spiritual coming-of-age, the
achievement of certain spiritual
maturity. It might lead in time to a
real decline in enthusiasm for the sport
known as war.

The Twentieth Amendment


If the submitted twentieth amend
ment to the Constitution OF the United
States had been properly constructed by
the Congress there is little doubt that
1t would have been ratified promptly.
While the measure is primarily one OF
States rights, there would have been no
serious objection to Federal RESTRICTION
of child labor-if the regulation had
been in keeping with the American
brand of domesticity. A law forbidding
any boy or girl under ID years OF age
from any labor Is almost the greatest
unkindness that could be inflicted upon
the persons alleged to be protected.
The cure would be equally disastrous
with the disease. It Is an appalling
sight to see children laboring IN the
mills and in the cotton patches-but It
would be much more damaging act
to forbid them any sort Of work.
Every child In the human family
should have daily chores to perform.
They should develop system and initiA.
tive. They should serve as q construc.
NYe contrast for the play which should
follow the performed duties. Training
of children cannot be complete without
the work and responsibility ingredients.
There should be no law which can pre-
vent parents from including work In
the upbringing of children but one
which will keep the home free of that
species Of tyranny already existing In
the Society for the Prevention Of Cruel
ty to Children.
The textile industry made q most
commendable step forward when its
submitted code removed children from
the mills. Labor which makes school
attendance impossible should not be
permitted. A child has the same right
to school as it has to play. Work SUM-
cient to round out training schedule
should be permissible. When such .
condition Is prostituted by adults for
their own profit, there should be legisla-
tive protection-but the twentieth
amendment Is not the proper provision.

Germany Faces France.

From the Wall Street Journal.
OF all the current comment on Ger
many's withdrawal from the League and
the Disarmament Conference the most
deceptive and therefore the most per-
nicious is that "it clears the air." Clears
the air of what? For more than a year
the world has been fully aware of .
fixed determination of the German peo-
ple to put an end to the Versailles set
tlement. Chancellor Hitler's latest step
tells us nothing that we should not have
known long since. If Hitler has at
moments appeared to glance in the
direction of conciliation he did so only
to gain little time in which to perfect
the dictatorship at home, to wipe out
the last vestiges Of organized political
opposition among Germans, to destroy
few surviving loyalties to ancient
clans and castes-in a word, to make
the final preparations for war to end
"the peace"
All that Germany's latest action does
toward clearing the air" is to answer
the question, "When?" The German
answer is Now" It is now that the
former allies must decide whether or
not they will or will not make whatever
sacrifice of blood and treasure the
maintenance Of the Versailles settle
nent may require. It IS beside the
point to say that Europe must face Ger
many with united front, either with
or without the company Of the United
States. It is almost irrelevant to say
that Germany is unarmed, whereas
France Is ready to strike today. Sixty

their minds to restore themselves to
their pre-war dominance on the Cont.
nent. If they should fail Of that pur.
pose they would in any case, as they
passionately believe, dethrone France.
So far from fearing isolation they
profess to welcome 1t; they must be
assumed to have counted that item Of
cost to the full. They will rearm, a.
they can out of their own resources, or
universal disarmament shall restore to
them the physical supremacy of their
man-power. Their willingness to face
the French now challenges Great Brit
ain to decide whether she cares enough
for the French peace to fight for 1t, and
likewise Italians to master their jeal-
ousy Of the French If they can. There
is more to be said about German
isolation than to assume it as an &C.
complished fact.
Germany under Hitler, impatient to
tear up the Versailles treaty after q
decade of vast revisions thereof in her
favor, ssagain doing civilization griev-
GUS injury. There can be no question
as to that. But the essence Of Hitlerism
is q denial of the French thesis that
civilization and Versailles are identical
France must either abandon her thesi,
or tight for 1t, with such allies Is she
can muster.

Two more members were placed
on the Carbon county reemploy-
ment board, in an attempt to
make the organization of the
board conform to provisions of the
federal unemployment service, by
the board of county commissioners
in special meeting Tuesday after
noon.
j. P. Plunkett, chairman of the
county emergency relief commit
tee, and George Doran, president
of the Red Lodge union, No .1771,
United Mine Workers of America,
were appointed to the board by a
motion passd by the commission.
Their names were added to a mo-
ton hat hung fire at the previous
meeting, and which was passed
when amended.
That motion was in confirma-
tin of the action taken by Gus E.
Berg, district unemployment di-
rector, Commissioners John Nor
mile and G. C. Bowler, in organ
izing the unemployment board to
consist of John Gibson of From
berg, G. M. Downs and Charles
H. Draper of Red Lodge. AS
passed, the motion confirms the
appointment of those men, and of
Mr.. Plunkett and Mr.. Doran. The
motion was entered at the meet
ing by Mr.. Normile, seconded by
Mr.. Bowler, and unanimously
passed.

missioners has yet to be confirmed
by. the state unemployment board
1t is said to be questionable
whether the Carbon unemployment
organization, even as it now
stands, will be approved either by
the county civil works administra-
ton, which is the relief commit
tee, or the state unemployment
board.
