BT T rm— i SELFISHNESS PROMPTS THE EF- FORT, Those who are always oppesing the placing of restrictions upon or limit- ing the hours of labor of women and children never fail to take advantage of everr opportunity to break down the legal barrier which prevents them from getting the benefit of cheap help and long hours. They are everlast- ingly looking out for their own inter- ests without regard to the effect that will be had upon those who are direct- Iv concerned. In fact their selfish- ness surmounts everything else, This is plainly manifested in tha effort that has been made to have the federal child labor law suspended by a of congress and the leg'slation which has been enacted in the state of New York providing for the re- movwval of the legal restrictions on the labor of women and children Auring) the period of the war. As mizht be expected there the stronzest kind of opposition being manifested to- wards the move to prevent the opera- tion of the federal law, and thereby extend the period during which chil- dren can continue to do the work of grownups In the mills of the south, and Governor Whitman of the Empire state by his veto has put his foot down such a relaxation of the law proposed in his state. is not the only ecountry such an effort was made. In and for instance the laber laws actually abrogated and there it clearly demonstrated that not there no benefit obtained that it proved to be ental. It worked harm {dual and it had its ill ef- 1 was This in fects upon th> output, so that there is more than the usual good reasons for opposing any such plan in this country. It ‘must he recognized therefore that Governor Whitman has done the right thing in block! this legislation, which would have meant a return to conditions which were long ago de- lared undesirable, and that if it is needed the whole country should lend its assistancs in opposinz the move to interfere with the operation of the federal child iabor law. THE FARM LABOR PROBLEM. has been recognized from the very start of the movement for the growing of increased crops that one of the great troubles which would be sxperienced would be the lack of help. Shortaze of farmhands has been em- phasized for a number of vears par- ticularly during harvest time, but with the planting of increascd acreages the need of even a greater army of as- sistants became evident, and the need is not confined solely to the harvest season. Much help in the way of get- ting more produce from the soil is goinz to be ziven by the householde: who plants a garden where none ex- isted before. This work will be done n spare time and would not be obtaln- able otherwise, but that does not by any means solve the problem in the azri- cultural sections of the country. Plow- ing. planting, cultivatine and harvest- ing machinery can and will be em- ployed there in an endeavor to reach the desired goal and make the crop output of the country this vear the greatest ever, but regardless of these mechanical contrivances there is need of man power. There is always a floating popula- tion which should have no difficulty in securing employment this year, and if they do not respond something more than persuasion ought to be used in their cases, but an excellent example is being set by college men through- out the country, who are not of the proper age to be included in the con- scription, in volunteering thelr ser- vices on the farms of the west and middle west, the south and the east, or in fact wherever they can be of It are of the right age to adjust them- selves to the work at hand. Farm re- cruits of this class are already leav- ing for their destinations and more will be ready as the colleges and schools close their years. But such help will by no means satisty the de- mand for labor on the farms this year. They will nevertheless help and should prove an inspiring example for others who are seeking an opportunity to do their part for their country. THE KRONSTADT ERROR. With the turn of affairs in Russia where the delégates of the workmen and soldiers insist upon taking charge of Kronstadt, the military post which is of much importance in the defense of Petrograd, and setting up a sepa- rate government which will not be answerable to the coalition govern- ment, a serious situation is presented as those of the Russian cabinet well recogni Although this post is a strongly for- tified point it is located upon an isl- and, from which it is possible for the main governmeént to withhold all sup- plies and sooner or later to bring those in the fortress to subjection. Tt is a case where those who are at the head of this néw movement apparent- 1y ovérestimate their power and abil- ity. Tt is a move such as those who are responsible for it should understand cannot be accepted if the new Russia is going to stand on a founda- tion. What is needed at the present time is lovalty to the new government and the lending of all possible assist- ance in making it strong and success- ful. But those who are credited with this assumption of power seem to think that strangth lies in division instead of unity. They have got to learn, or be taught, the old maxim, “united we stand, divided we fall” There are indicattons in the course of the affairs in that country that the thirst for power and the increased privileges which go with democracy have gone to their heads. They are not used to such things and they are letting matters run wild. They are not used to thinking along such lines and they hope to reach the goal, which others have required long years of trials and tribulation to attain, in one grand slam, without looking for or secing the pitfails which lie in their path. The chaotic conditions in view of the tremendous overturn which has taken place there may not be surpris. ing, but it is bound to be terribly de. trimental, if not suicidal, if they do not come to their senses, profit from the experience and advice of those who are their friends, look the situa- tion straight in the face and govern themselves accordingly. The Kron- stradt move is a bad error of judg- ment, BRAZIL'S POSITION. With the announcement which has been mude by the foreign minister of Brazil to the various legations in that country, that the different countries which they represent may know how this South American country stands in resard to the revocation of the neutrality of that republic as regards the state of war existing between the United States and Germany, it is made | plain that Brazil has done only what| any seif respecting nation must do when confronted with the conditions under which it was laboring. Brazil's position was much the same as that of the United States. It rec- ognizéd that Germany was transgress- ing its rights, that protests amounted to nothing and that Germany did not intend to respect the privileges which belonged to it under international law. Brazilian lives and property had been destroyed without warning and without justification and from the attitude which Germany has taken in regard to such piratical operations it was plainly to be seen that it did not in- tend to change its policy of ruthless- ness against the neutral as well as against the bellizerent. It was there- fore uscless to attempt to delay and haggle over the situation. It called for resentment on the part of the in- jured nation and that is what Brazil has shown by the action that has been taken. Like thiz country Brazil did as much as. if not more than, oucht to be expected of it in order to bring desperate Germany to a reali- zation of what it was doing, but all without avail. How thoroughiy Brazil displays its approval of this country's acticn and its close tles with this country Is plainly set forth in the statement of Foreign Minister Pecanha when in explanation of his country’s move in siding with the United States he said “Brazil could not remain indifferent from the moment the United States found itself invoived in a disinterest- ed struggle for the rights of the peo, ple and when Germany meted out in- discriminately to Brazil the most bru- tal treatment. = EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: Fail- ure never discourages a prophet of evil. He will try, try again until the worst happens. Colonel Bryan will probably be de- claring that he knew that an army of 2 million men could be raised between sunrise and sunset. The fact should be borne iIn mind that there are but a few days left in which to register for a Liberty bond. There is no age restriction in this registration. The days following eleection are those which are filled with serfous re- flection for a great many people. Tt is easier then to look on both sides of the matter. : By its action in seizing the Ger- man ships in its ports, where they have been lald up for the war’s dura- tion, Brazil again follows the courss which has been taken by the United States. The British operations in Mesopo- tamia are apparently held up because of the uncertainty of the Russian sit- uatfon, but when the Russians essay an offensive in that region they in- variably accomplish their object even now. —_— When this government makes the statement that German efforts are be- ing ‘made to secure control of the Venezuelan island Margarita, the very fact that it gives publicity to the mat- ter gives assurance that it is based on facts. If of course there should be any further efforts by the allies on the western front, as of course there will be, the kaiser is going to place the responsibility for it upon Field Mar- shal von Hindenburg’s wrong inter- I, Wil my Sida west uot so fer- tile,” announced the young man who is a chronic joker. “Everybody would love me then. My relatives would not look upon me with scorn and loathing, especially my brother-in-‘aw. Honest, you wouldn't believe the hard heart- edness of that man! Why, he won't speak to me! “What did I do? 1 ask you; could any human man have done anything else? “I was talking with a man I know in the gas company’s office and when I went up to my own office I found I had absent mindedly carried away a small piece of paper that was on his desk. It was a letterhead. It wasn't my fault that a brilliant idea seized me in its teeth, was it, and shook me hard? “I owed Henry one for several things, so I sat down and typewrote him a Dbrief note on the gas company’s paper to.the effect that a recent in- spection of his gas meter had revealed that it had been inaccurate and that he owed $63.51 on back bills, and T remained his truly, please remit. “When I got home that night I found Henry so mad that he-couldn’t talk and Aliskh, my sister, vividly sympathetic. Henry waved the letter in my face and shouted at me when he got his voice. Not that he had any- thing against me then, but he had to shout at some one to relieve his out- raged feelings. I cannot tell you all the things he said. /But never in my life have I been so filled with warm admiration for Henry's command of the English language, invective and burning wrath. “He ended by demanding to know whéther 1 didn’t think so, too, and I told him I most certainiy did. It seemed a shame to throw co.d water on Henry’s feelings and spoil it all by confessing, so when he said he was going to write the gas company a let- ter I advised him to make it a hot one. It was. I give you my word there was smoke arising from the paper upon which he penned his emotions. “When he had banged the stamp on it T held out mv hand and sald I was going out and I'd mail it for him right away. 1 malled it in my inside pocket, of course, and let three sizzling days go by during which Henry had con- varsed his troubles to everybody who knew him. I know it was wrons, still I had left a quarter on my friend's desk when he wasn't looking to pay for the few sheets of stationery and envelopes I lifted. T wrote Henry another letter. T told him that the company regretted the attitude he had taken, but inas- much as the bill was entirely correct they hoped he would see fit to pay it, without any further- trouble and re mained his truly. “Henry was at the cold, white hot stage when I got home the night he found that second letter waiting him. He had things to say about the greed of corporations and baldfaced outrages and I believe he vowed he'd never pay the bill if he had to invoke the aid of the Supreme court of the United States. He had all the gas officials wearing _stiipes before he had fin- ished tellinx Wit he was going to do to them and he answered the letter without urging. “I suggested several telling things he might say and he put them In. “Going out?’ Henry inquired, for I had on my coat and carried my hat. It just showed the power of sugges- tion.- I took the letter he extended to me and mailed it, as before, in my inside pocket. It was a_livély and flerce corre spondence. I believe the gas com- pany threatened to sue and Henry roared back to sue and be horn-swog- gled. AH his acquaintances were breathlessly awaiting the outcome of the fight. Alicia was the bright star at teas and card parties, telling of their horrible troubles with the ridic- ulous gas company. “Finally, the gas company, through myself of course, wrote Henry curty that they wanted no more trouble over the affair and would shut off his gas if he didn’t remit. Thereupon Henry gave the maid orders that she was to admit any gas man only over her dead body. Nobody arrived to do the deed It was because I was waiting for the day when Alicia and Henry were giv- ing a large and elaborate dinner party. At 3 in_the afternoon I rang up the house and told the maid that a man wis coming out immediately to shut off the gas. Alicia was at het charity board meeting miles away and the maid frantically phoned her of the en- suing tragedy and 5aid that the wo- man caterer at work in the kitchen was having hysterics regularly every five minutes. ‘Alicia_tore home gasping with hor- ror and mounted guard at the windows and doors. She sald it was the most awful thing that had ever befallen her and she wanted to dle! When Henry got home he wanted to die. too, -be- tween trying to inspire Alicia with hope and expressing his Tage nnd wrath at the gas company. Honestly. those people were seeing things Every tinkle of a bell made them start with wretched anticipation and when the guests began arriving the tension was awful. You see, we didn't know whether it was a guest or a husky gas man with a wrench in one fist. “The guests were as nervous as the family, too, when thev discovered that the dinner might stop cooking any second. And the arrival of each course hailed with a zasp of relief that at any rate they had got that far. When we hit the frozen stuff and cof- fee T hauled out of my pocket all Henry's vitriolic letters and threw them at him. And I wish you might have seen him when it percolated! I thought my end had come right there! It's heen six weeks and he's just be- ginning to recognize that I'm still on earth! Stil'. wasn’t it a nice foke? Well.” said the interested listener, “that depends whether one is the joker or the jokee! T think myselt that Henry is a man of large self- restraint inasmuch as you still live and breathe.”—Exchange. THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society. Cadiz and the Germans—Rumors of diplomatic dickerings between cer- tain prominea{ Spanish politicians toward the use by German transat- lantic liners of the Spanish seaport of Cadiz as a first and last port of call at_the conclusion of the world war, bring into high relief this great ci of ancient and of 1Sth century Spain but a place of smail importance in 20th century commerce. The Na- tional Geoszraphic Society, from lits Washington headquarters, issues an interesting bulletin on the physical as- pects of the Andalusian port. It say “Although its importance began to wane when Spain's colonial began to | diminish, and its commerce reached low-water mark following the restruc- tion of Spanish trade with Cuba and Porto Rico as a result of the Spanish- American war, Cadiz still maintains a brave and beautiful “front” to world travelers. Situated on a narrow ton- gue of land which juts out from the } B Is'e de Leon a distance of five mil it seems a veritable magic city w its tall, turreted houses all snow white. It is said that every houee is white-washed at least once a year.

Deterrent factors are the present inadequate railway facilities connecting the sea- port with Central Europe, and the high annual death rate (45 per thous- and), attributable in part to the damp, heavy atmosphere in summer, and to the quantities of rotting eeaweed which collect at the base of the sea- walls.
