OUTLAW SWEAT SHOPS;
DON'T KILL INITIATIVE

Before the California legislature, as
before legislatures in many other states,
self-styled social reformers have placed
bills which would, if enacted into law,
virtually outlaw any future success
stories of the famous Horatlo Alger
type.
Over-zealous supporters of these bills
have an entirely worthy purpose. They
want to protect children from sweat
shop conditions. They want to be sure
that unscrupulous employers cannot in
the future capitalize on the labor of
little children. They want to give chill
dren the opportunity to enjoy childhood.
1t would be hard to find anyone, out
side of the anti-social few among grasp
ing money lovers who exploit child labor,
who would not vote for such legislation
without moments hesitation. Most of
us should not like to number among our
friends, either social or business, any
one guilty of wringing money from the
back breaking labor of children.
Unfortunately the bills proposed in
the California legislature would not ac-
complish this They are in the same
category as piece Of proposed national
legislation few congressional sessions
ago which would, technically, have made
it impossible for parent to set for his
young son the task of washing the dishes
in the evening. That proposed law was
defeated. So should the bills now before
the state legislature in California be
defeated.
One of these bills would make it i'm
possible for newspaper to distribute
its papers through boy carriers.
To the newspapers it would mean only
more highly mechanized distribution sys-
TENS, with one man doing the work for
merly done by 1S or 20 boys. The cost
would be no more
To the boys it would mean a great
deal more than that.
1t would, in short, mean the loss of
jobs which are healthful, profitable, in
structive, not hard, and which in many
instances keep the youngsters out of mis-
chief they otherwise would engage in.
Any law which prohibits sweat-shop
conditions for children, or which pro-
hibits them from working at jobs that
will leave an indelible mark of toll on
them in later years. deserves the support
of the whole state. These laws now pro-
posed, unfortunately, would not accom-
plish either of these things. They would
merely make impossible the most desir-
able endeavor in which child can en-
gage They should be defeated.

YOUTH IN
a DEMOCRACY
wall Street Journal)

1t is doubtless part of the mental
confusion of the times that we must hear,
delivered with vehemence that initiates
the authority of knowledge an incredible
volume of precious nonsense. Item:
hardly an evening passes in which we
are not told from one forum or another
that unless young men and women get
what they want the day they leave high
school or college, democracy will go to
the dogs and the dogs will turn up their
noses.
What scores of platform oracles label
the problem of youth Is not special
thing by itself, nor is ii new in this day.
1t is one with the problem of their elders;
it varies with that larger question of
tolerabe existence in degree of difficulty
from one era to another. These present
years of economic dislocation are not the
first period in the history of the country
in which the young have met bitter eX-
perienceS in their attempts to gain their
individual footholds in sustaining and
congenial occupation, as they are not the
first to bring men and women of middle
age all but uncomfortable trials and dis
appointments. Granted that the young
are sensitive, impressionable, uniformed
in character, peculiarly exposed to the
deteriorating effect of excessive misfor-
tune. They always were and are; that
is the real problem of youth in every
time; it is the unending problem of all
times for them and their elders and So
ciety as a whole and it is insoluble eX-
cept through restricted individual ap-
proach, on the part of the young them
selves and those of other ages whom
they, as individuals, may rightfully sum-
mon to their aid
Not that the young are not in great
difficulty today, nor that their present
or future welfare, material or spiritual,
may safely be disregarded But it can
not be dealt with apart from the other
problems on the working solution of
which the preservation of democracy
of the social and political institutions
we cherish, must likewise depend We
shall weaken democracy itself and limit
the chance of youth to burgeon into
worthy citizenship by attempting to set
the young apart, to be sheltered in some
way as yet undiscovered from exposure
to the atmosphere of the world in which
they will in any case find themselves
compelled to live.

Europe is little like that today
