wanly at a cartoon, drawn by a
newspaper man and circulated
through the treasury department.
The caricature represents Nor

man of the Reconstruction Fin

absorbing craps game. Morgen-
thau remarks to his playmate:
"Snake-eyes, what do you say

Amused by the drawing, an adj

invitation to be dinner guests of

The Wan to Bet

VOU never can tell for certain but how would
Il you bet? Is there a single reader who would
say: oh yes; I'd like my child to be up and COM
ing and selling papers on the street before he turned
twelve?"
Indeed think the greatest failures in all the
sorry list of the victims of child labor are to be
found in the rather scanty list of those who gained
success. The man who beat the rap wears on his
face the hard lines of those who must eventually be
revenged.
This happened to me" he thinks to himself land
what 1 suffered must be visited on the children
even unto the third and the fourth generation"

general assignments.
He has a trait of studying s,b-
normal psychology and he draws
upon sociological principles and
his own personal theories to ex-
plain the conduct of criminals.
Suggestive of this train OF
thought have been his articles on
John Dillinger and on the Mich
igan City prison break.
Whatever his reasoning, he at
least is entertaining.
And, anyhow, they're good for
one rejection slip anyway.

DUT would like to leave the sterilization policy

another problem. May ask leave to print dis
patch from Lake Placid which reads follows:
"Basing their action in behalf of the boys and
girls of America and their parents the New York
State Publishers Association today had ready for
presentation resolution asking the legislature not
to ratfy the federal child labor amendment to the
Constitution. The resolution expressed opposi-
ton to the broad grounds of the amendment on the
basis that it disputes the principle of state rights
because the development Of youth is geographical,
envronmental and broadly controlled by heredity'
I do not understand precisely what that language
means to convey except that the publishers asso-

Another promising symptom is
that Senator Carter Glass, Of
Virginia, is in opposition.
"Humanitarians," he is quoted
as saying, can find some excuse
for a man who steals when he
has to, but what excuse is there
when there is no need?"
I think somebody should pick
up the venerable statesman's ear

there is still a lot of neeo going
