THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT Georgia’s rejection of the Child Labor Amendment to the Constitution may serve a good purpose. The Amendment has seemed go just, ‘so necessary to the protection of children that friends of the ratification have lapsed into a state of inactivity. The Child Labor Amendment has been opposed by those who honestly believe the regulation should be left to state governments. But it has been opposed more viciously by those in the south who desire to employ children in the cot- ton mills—and also by thoughtless or shiftless parents who desire to profit from the sweat of the brow of their children. State regulation of child labo. has failed to reach the worst spots in the country, for child labor still continues to a large extent in the cotton mills. Every argument of human rights is in favor of the pro- hibition of such labor of children as will deny them a chance for education, take away their opportunity to grow to physi- cal maturity which will enable them. to meet life’s battles, stunt them at thé beginning in their rise to citizenship. The action of the Georgia legislature is a signal light to all who believe in the anti-child labor legislation. It ought to arouse women’s clubs, business organizations, in fact, all citizens who care about the future of their country and are moved by a spark of humanitarian impulse, to action. DETROIT Kresge Bldg. IRELAND SETTLING DOWN? News that the Irish Free State would free Eamon De Valera and other Irish Republican leaders from prison is good news. Presumably the Free State government would not adopt this course unless they felt the country had settled to such an extent that the firebrands could be released with- out further menace to the progress of the new government. Little has-been heard recently of difficulties in the Irish! “Free State. Perhaps the Free State will assume the place set for it, and Ireland progress rapidly toward a government wh: ch all of the people will support. REDUCED EXPENSES The board of county commissioners is to be commended for the sharp reduction it announces in the tentative budget of expenditures for the county for the ensuing year. It is a sharp cut, but one that will be welcome to the taxpayers. If; cach taxing board in the state carefully trimmed the cloth iit, to fit the purse this year, the tax burden would be reduced | materially, much of the complaint against high taxes would disappear and efforts to make a horizontal decrease in taxes by statute would be discontinued. BUGS - Radio keeps many potentially bad boys good. The num- ber of juvenile court cases in America dropped almost 42 per cent in the past year. Radio deserves a large portion of the credit. It diverts youthful energy into placid channels. Crime, after all, is to considerable extent just a matter of misdirected energy. Grownups as well as children. Many nrofessional criminals would become good citizens if shown that they’d make more money if they’d apply to legitimate work the energy, time, brains and scheming they devote to try’ng to get something for nothing. j DRIFTERS Discontented middle-western farmers used to drift from state to state, then into Canada, as if drawn like the com- pass needle. The lure of western Canada is on the wane. Canadian gevernment closes a number of land offices it maintained for 2 quarter of a century in our western states to entice farmers north. One of these, in Omaha, closes its doors after send- “jing 50,000 farmers across the border. They took 54 million -dcHlars with them. Where do the drifting farmers land now? parently.

Henry Ford made the wisest comment about prohibition when he said that booze had to go when the motor car came in big numbers. The people can’t have both. Can you im- agine traffic conditions now if the barrooms were wide open ‘again? How many would gladly give up their autos?

They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed ip the press of the day. THE USE OF SUNDAY Artifex in Manchester Guardian I have been asked what should be the attitude of parents, and others} in loco parentis, toward young people who wish for a larger liber- ty in matters of Sunday amusements than their elders have been accus- tomed to regard as right. It is quite useless, and worse than useless, to force our own standards on young people merely by authority. Such use of authority does more harm than good. Sound reasons alone are not of any use. Can we think out any principles which are likely to be aceepted by thoughtful and sincere young peo- ple? One thing is clear. The matter, at least here, must be argued from the Christian standpoint. And, therefore, we may at once deal with one argument with which one is often confronted. Our Sunday, we are often remind- ed, is not the Sabbath. Of course it is not. It is some- thing much more. It is-the Dies Dominica—the Lord’s day. To sup- pose that the obligations of Sun- day are less than those of the Sab- bath is surely completely to mis- understand Christ's saying that He came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. No doubt the obliga- tions of Sunday are profoundly dif- ferent from those of the Jewish Sabbath, but to suppose that they are necessarily less is to miss the whole significance of Christ's teach- ing. Here, as in so many other things, we get a passage from a mere neg- ative prohibition to a positive com- mand. A day of rest to give place to the Lord's day. I had the pleasure the other day of hearing C. G. Ammon, secretary to the admirality, speaking at Bris- tol on “Sunday; the Workers’ Char- ter,” and he: said that when speak- ing to representatives of continen- tal trade unionism he had often been struck by their envy of our Sunday. Indeed, he declared that there was a movement on the continent for the adoption of something like the English Sunday. I do not wonder. For it can not be gainsaid that a great increase of Sunday amusements for the up- per and middle classes must result in a great increase of work for the Poorer sections of society. #iven if one day in seven is se- cured to all workers it will not, as! Mr. Ammon pointed out, compensate for the loss of Sunday. Half the pleasure, and more than half the, refreshments, of a day of rest is! members of his family are at work. A second important point is the need which all men have for some time of quiet and rest. Dr. Inge has said that he believes most civilizations break down, so to - ADVEN TURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON “I wonder what Pa is doing,” said Mrs, Bunny, as she and the children sat in a shady place in Happy Go Lucky Park, waiting for the rabbit gentleman to come back. But you know and I know what he was doing, my dears, He was tak- ing chances. He was trying to get a lucky number and win a lamp for 10 cents. He.wanted a birthday present for Mrs. Bunny and thought that was a good way to get it. But he didn’t win it for 10 cents, or for 20 cents, or for 30 cents, for the wrong mumber on it and some- one else always got the lamp. Once it was Daddy Cracknuts and speak, by their own weight. As a flywheel, if spun at too great a! Pace, flies to. pieces, so when the! rush of civilization becomes too} great human nature can not stand, A third argument is supplied by what we so often hear from those who object to the English Sunday. It is such a dull day, we are told. Surely that in itself is merely an admission on the part of those who make it of the possession of dull minds. People who can not amuse them- j selves for one day in seven unless | they either have some professionals | to act, sing, play, dance, or in some other way perform for them, or un- less they are permitted to play with some form of ball must be so utter- ly devoid of mental resources that they should be excluded from all places of amusement till they have cultivated their own internal pow- ers sufficiently to be able to avoid boredom. And, to come at last to the first and chief argument, there is surely the need for one: day ‘on which re- ligion ‘will ‘be ‘the chief interest. The attitude of mind of many “good Europeans” before the war was that religion was an extinct superstition which cultured people could only smile at. Does any one take that view to- lay? But it is no good saying that the world needs spiritual forces for its regeneration if we are unwilling to pay the price for them. These, it will be objected, are general arguments, not an answer to my proper problem—namely, how to deal with young people. But the answer there is surely plain. Sun- day and Sunday’ chief concern— namely, religion—must be made so real and vital that young people shall welcome it and not shirk it. If young people are denied amuse- ment by parents who themselves take no interest in religion, what wonder if they regard the whole things as (I quote from the mouth of youth) “stuffy “nonsense.” If religion is a reality in the home, Sunday will be a well-loved day. And, where it is so loved, young people will not desire to spoil its flavor with secular amusements. NOTHING LEFT ALICE—I hear Jack has broken off his engagement with Gladys. How did, she take it?

That was nearly all the money he had. “Jiminy Christmas!” he said sud- denly, “Why, I could have bought Ma a grand lamp at the store for $2. And now I haven't any lamp and I haven't any $2, and I haven't enough money to stay at the park. I'll have to take the family home again.” And Mister Bunny felt perfectly dreadful. “Say,” he said, when he got back to the place where Mrs. Bunny and the children were wating for him; “we'll have to go home. I lost some money and we can’t—” That's all the further he got, for Mrs. Bunny stopped him by waving a $2 bill right under his nose. “Here it’ is,.then,” she said pretty sharply. “And a good thing it is for you, sir, that your son, Ben, had such sharp eyes. He found it } right there on the grass beside him. Carelessness will never make you rich, Mister Bunny.” “B—but I didn’t lose it here,” said Mister Bunny in a dazed voice, “I lost it—I lost it over at—" “It must be yours,” said Mrs. Bun- ny firmly. “Two people wouldr't be likely to lose $2 at the same time Go and ask Mister Zip.” 3 “Why, no, Mister Bunny,” said the fairyman with a mysterious lit- tle smile. “Nobody said they lost it. If they had they would have come right to me, I'm sure. Maybe I lost it myself. But if I did 1 never missed it and it serves me right. You keep it and if anybody claims it Pl let you know.” Mister Bunny was so happy’ he did a little jig on his hind legs and went back to his family, after thank- ing the fairyman. Nancy and Nick and Mister Zip laughed and laughed. “It worked FRIDAY, JULY’ 18, 1924 “HE’S CHANGED ENTIRELY” By Albert Apple To get a man’s “number” check up his associates—the people he ‘selects as friends.

Stewart NEA Service Writer ~*"Washington, July 18.—How will Re- publicans, Democrats and _ Progres- sives stand in the next Congress, ever they may come out on presi- jént and vice president? the politicians are already figur- ing on that. , It's the consensus of opinion in Washington that the. Progressives will continue to hold the balance of power in the Senate whether La Follette is elected or not; that they’re apt to lose it in the House if either ia Republican or a Democrat wins the presidency, The politicians don't say they think there will be fewer Progres- sives in the new House than there are now. On the contrary, they be- lieve there are likely to be more. Nevertheless, they look to see them lose the balance of power unless they prove strong enough to elect the head’of their ticket—and maybe even then. The point is this: Let the Democrats overwhelming-- ly defeat the Republicans at the polls, or let the Republicans over- whelmingly defeat the Democrats, and the winning old-line group may gain a majority, in the House, at the ‘expense of the old-line group it has just defeated, notwithstanding the EVERETT TRUE Do You Succ WHITE CLOVER SCED|- Whoso hoasteth himself of a false}: gift is like cleuds and wind without rain.—Prov, 25: * rie Where _ boasting ends, there dig: nity begins.—Yeung. ‘An average-sized ape can pull four timo< as mych as a man of the weight. - fact that-the: Progressives may per- haps have increased the number of their congressmen. i And why isn’t this equally true of the Senate? For this reason: All the members of the “House must undergo the test at the polls’ this fall; only one-third of the sena- tors. So obviously there's a much better chance of a big change in the’ House than in the Senate, The present senate consists of: Forty-three Democrats, 43 “regu- lar” Republicans, of whom ‘two or, three are not “regular” enough to prevent them from voting with the Progressives occasionally; 8 always dependable Progressives, nominally of the Republican persuasion, and 2 Farmer-Laborites, who vote. with the Progressives. The House, at the close of the last session, was closer, but still. the Progressives held the balance of power by a narrow margin. ‘Tiere were 225 Republicans, 206 Demo- crats, 1 Independent, 1 Farmer- Laborite and 1 Socialist. But of the Republi: , so-called, 10 were out- and;out Progressives. Usually, though not always, the Progressives con- trolled still another 10. nominally Progressive votes.
