THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER & (Established 1873) (Official City, State and County Newspaper) CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT Just how far as a state, North Dakota wants to shift the burden of regulating its domestic problems is the sole issue presented in this state and never has any legislature been = deaf to the advocates of better laws to safeguard the grow- ing boy and girl. Few states are as advanced in the direc- = tion and supervision of child life as North Dakota. Two years ago with the establishment of .the Children’s Code Commission and Children’s Bureau and the addition of many laws providing for the regulation of child activity, this state took a most forward position. To ratify the amendment and take control over the child Irom the state would be a step backward. A specious and} maudlin appeal is being made to the members of the legis- lature and to the members of the various women’s clubs. The % propagandists have started a flow of “sob” literature brist- ~ ling with half truths based upon a false premise. True if this state ratifies the amendment that does not necessarily mean that extreme measures are to be taken to shut the door of an early career to a boy of fifteen, sixgeen or eighteen, but the chances are that if Congress is given power that legislation will be passed and a national bureau will be established with its horde of officials to enforce its regulations. There is no guaranty that such legislation will satisfy the opponents of child labor in this state. Those who favor child labor in North Dakota are few indeed. 4 Restriction of child labor should repose in the state. 3 Nothing can be gained by tying the state’s hands in this re- . spect. The whole movement tends to nationalize the child, = is abortive of state rights and against the very principles which won so triumphantly at the November polls. Some of the women engaged in supporting the ratifica- tion are acting from the highest motives and believe that the amendment is the only proper safeguard. In the main, =; however, the campaign is based more on sentiment than upon ~ the cold facts. The state so far in the west to approve of the amend- ment is California. Wyoming recently postponed the rati- fication indefinitely. There seems to be evidenced in many states a greater regard for state’s right more than fear of = centralization of governmental functions at Washington.

Rowe of the American Rail- way Association. Safety is a matter of education more than anything else. It is also a matter of dollars to railroads and other big in- = terests. Which is one reason why private industry is spending = good money on anti-accident schooling. 4 HARD TOIL Hard toil shortens workers’ lives, according to Dr. Louis I. Dublin, the insurance statistician. He finds that office workers live eight years longer than industrial workers, on = the average. The trouble with such statistics is that length of life depends on heredity and what we do outside working hours, quite as much as on work. However, the old saying, “Hard * work never killed anybody,” probably was invented by an employer. im FRANCE France does not expect that the danger of another war --will be eliminated in our generation. Her new naval pro- gram is being laid out carefully for the next 20 years. Dur- ing that time, the French will spend 10,000 million francs >for new ships, not including upkeep. : The financial burden Europe incurred in the World War _<will not be much greater in the long run than a permanent sentinuance of competition armaments — naval, military or saerial. : PUZZLES Five thousand crossword puzzles, in Spanish, go to South |;2,America in one shipment from New York. The craze has “caught the fancy of Brazilians and others down there below the equator. England and other countries also trail our en- ‘thusiasm for the brain exercisers. That is what they are—brain trainer.s Which is more than can be said of many other games that are simply the ast resorts of idle minds. WHITE COLLAR We've heard a lot about the high hats of Europe becom- ‘ing waitresses, valets and dressmakers. Many prefer a white collar job, one gleams from a cir- cular issued by a British publishing house. It offers books f written by the Queen of Rumania, Lloyd George, Marquess 1} | (es Curzon, Ramsey MacDonald and others. eo We in America should be thankful that our ex-chiefs of * policé and rum queens do not bombard us with literary work. Editorial Review _ Comments luced in this column ma} y or may not Ga the opinion of The Fribune. hey are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are pene, discussed in the prese of the . CHEMISTRY (Police d It would tbe unfair to the world- wick study and treatment and scientific successes in checking in- sanity to emphasize the contem- porary movement in:psychiatry and chemical treatment of the insane and criminal as an advance not perceived before. It is not that, ‘but what is more or equally im- ‘portant, a recognition on the part of the authorities who control pub- lic funds and endowments that if chemistry combined with psy- chiatry can cure in one case a 0 dozen, it is possible, given the fa- cilities, to extend the treatment to the ‘hundreds of thousands and possibly millions afflicte!’ with some form of mania The crusade which in its popular phase seem sensational, grows out of research. It has ‘been known, for example, that an “in- enous injection of ‘hypertonic saline solution (15 per cent) caus- es a rapid withdrawal of fluid from the brain.” The functioning of the so-called adrenal glands has {ong been stu- died. The announcements of sci- ence become sensational at crim- inal trials in the courts because experts in criminology can and do explain homicides anc 11 their horrors in terms which to the lay- man_ seem bizarre. Thus, the ‘psychiartrist, usually brought into court at the expense of the de- fense, traces the crime to insanity, or mental disturbance, caused by an increase or decrease or per- verted secretion of the thyroidj adrenal, ovary or pituitary parts. It is not that science is ranged on the side of tie defense, but that these experts who have given years of research to the body and the mind command thigh profes sional fees. The ordinary murde er cannot summon their scientific testimony and-<ts doomed. The criminals who ‘come from rich homes can afford to pay the experts to explain, or at least to put in scientific terms, the phenomena of whirlwinds of brain and blood that overthrow reason and control and thus lead to tragedy and crime. In his new work, “Insanity anc the Criminal,” John C. Goodwin starts with a quotation from Sir ‘Bryan Donkin, M. D. author of “The Feeble-Minded Criminal,” as follows, from a speech at a con- ference in Birmingham, Eng. “The weak-minded amount to between 10 and 15 per cent of the total number of ‘persons committed to prison; the true maximum is probably higher than this . . Owing to certain surroundings, a large num- portion, even 20 per cent, of so- called criminals or law-breakers are demonstrably mentally defec- tive.” This gives a conservative: basis on which to justify the chemical crusade against insanity and ‘crime. Whether heredity, the stress of economic conditions or whatever the first cause, the toxic effect, either of inherited taint or thought, impure food, poisons, al- ‘cohclic or other kind, must, of course, be considered in their ef- fect upon the human composition and that being, so far as material man is concerned, chemical, and marvelously compounced the sci- ence of chemical effect upon the body and brain is, as stated, bound- ‘less in its scope and possibilities. ADVENTURE OF BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON “Let us go and séé “how the little country boy is getting along in the city at his Uncle Charley's house,” said the Fairy Queen to the Twins, “All rightee!” said they. So all three got on Two Spot’s back and. flew off happily to town. They met Chuck standing on the pavement in front of his uncle's house, “Oh shucks!” he was saying to himself as he stopped and looked up and down the street. “There isn’t any place to sled ride here in town. The minute the snow falls it’s shov- eled right off the streets. And even if it wasn’t you couldn’t go sled- riding anyway for the autos. “I think I'll go over to- the park and make a snow-man. There is lots of snow where there aren’t any paths.” So off he started, Two Spot and his passengers following close be- hind. Chuck left the path and waded into a white drift of snow. “Here—this is a fine place for a snow-man!” he cried. “And the snow’s just right. It sticks fine.” He had made Mr. Snow Man up to his knees when a voice cried sharp- ly, “Hi, there! Stop ‘that! Don’t you see the sign ‘Keep off the Grass! Well that means ‘Keep off the Snow,’ too. Get along now or I'll run you in.” Poor Chuck got away as fast as he could. The policeman stood watching until he was out of sight. “Come on,” said ghe Fairy Queen. “We'll hurry after him and see what A SURE SIGN The National Cash Register Company reports shipping 146,000 registers during 1924—a record.

The dollars of the family are not carried in the wife’s name as often as the sense. Right in the middle of the cry to elevate the masses comes the news that more airplanes will be made.

Although “Sister Ruth” has said very little to me about my brother, yet I have gathered that she was very unhappy with him, and it has thrown a gloom over her entire life.

Rowell Washington dispatches report President Coolidge and virtually the entire cabinet as favorable to the bill intro- duced by Representative Jacobstein, giving cabinet officers the right to speak and the opportunity to answer questions on the floor of Congress. With such sponsorship, there should be hope of passing the bill next session. } No greater improvement could be made ‘in the whole mechanism of American government. The idea has long been -discussed academically; but now the budget raises it to a practical emergency. ; Without some such scheme, the budget will be scarfely workable at all. It will either become an irresponsible execu- tive dictatorship, or else sink back to inefficient legislative log-rolling. Only with the:heads of departments openly on the floor of Congress can the budget be both efficient and respontble. Ours is the only important government in the world which denies cabinet ministers this right. It is also the only one in which the popular legislative chamber tends to decline in power and prestige. The cure for the one evil is to remedy the other. If reader's will bear with a hobby, the writer will crave permission to return frequently to this topic. In his view — and what is ‘more important, in the view of Secretary Hughes, Chief Justice Taft, former Secretary Stimson, Pres- ident Lowell, and a multitude of others — this is the most important question. of governmental form that could be brought before the American people. _, Apparently Mussolini has safely passed one more stage in his campaign of giving Italy everything but liberty.

Yet two Englishmen saw a glaring fault and set out to remedy it. Old English drinks quite a bit of brandy during the ‘course of the story. When Winthrop Ames pro- duced the show he hunted high and low, far and wide for brandy goblets and couldn’t find any in all New York. So champagne goblets’ were used. Ges Eustace Wyatt, who.has‘a’role in between mother and child as between‘ the play, saw’ some brandy “goblets these two.
