The dive keeper, the gam- bler, the the vicious dance hall All are beyond the pale of the law, beyond the protection of the law. They can only operate because the guardians of the law are (1) asleep, or (2) hushed with money payments. ‘Take a concrete case. The gambler comes before the committee “I paid $100 a day to run my string of hand books,” he says. What would happen? Maybe they would be able to get the man who received the money. More likely they would only land the “go-between.” The real receiver would as likely as not go untouched, while the go-between would be well repaid for whatever sentence the courts would give him—probably a light sentence because the court would know he was only the tool of the real offender In Seattle there is no shadow of doubt that gambling existed. Or that other things mentibned in the committee’s re- port existed : ¥ That Chief Wappenstein or Mayor Gill was ignorant of this fact is beyond belief of even the most fatuous followers of these men If they were ignorant of these things which every boy on the street knew, they should be removed for arch incompetency That gambling paid for its protection, no one who knows Bnything about the case can deny. Who got the money? The council failed to find anyone who would go on the wit- mess stand and testify.

In Beigium one-fourth of the child laborers under 16 t no money at all or earn less than 16 cents a day; more ne half of them receive between 10 and 20 cents a day, and less than one-fifth of them as much as 30 cents. Germany's new industrial code has merely forced the child labor from the factory to the home. Italy has such a poorly organized system of factory inspection that the little wage slaves might as well have no regulation In Austria an official investigation by their government dis- closed the fact that one-half of the child laborers began work be fore they were § years old, and a very large number before 6. And the other countries over there are no better off. ‘All of which goes to show that “business is business,” and Big Business maintains its habitat wherever it can, regardless of differences in language and races. Thanks That Are True For what we have got out of this world it is easy to be grateful. But for what we are able to give to it of goods, of sym- pathy, of cheer, of uplift, of soul-stuff—for this we may give thanks that will blend infinitely sweet into the eternal music of the spheres. This world is fall of the good, the bright and the beautiful; and there is fault in the eye that cannot see it and wrong in the heart that does not appreciate This same world has constant call for the heart of love and the hand of helpfulness; and if there are withheld, mere thanks of the tongue must die on the lips. pon ‘ the dis of |was partly because ‘ tance between the shore lines and weight.
