The law specifically provides that ratifi- cation of a constitutional amendment by the various states is up to either stitutional convention or to the state legis- lature. The governor has no part in it When Hartley tried to crush the child labor measure he was going beyond the power given to him. He might just as well have appeared before the eourt and have advised them as to what decision to make in an important case There is no doubt but that there is deep and widespread resentment against him for his action. Outspoken remarks about other matters, with little thought to Pledges made before his election, have helped to fan the flames of that resent- ment, Gov. Hartley is a shrewd man. Be shrewd, he should weigh words of his advisers. A candidate put into office by the big- ger business interests may satisfy the wants of business and still be a governor. But he must see to it EVERY MAN gets a square deal. : Unless the governor can hew to that line, there is likelihood that recall ments such as that started against him by the State Federation of Labor WILL make progress.

It is a climax in a condition that obtains in thou sands of families thruout the land, It is a domestic tragedy, save merely as to the pulling of the trigger of a pistol, that is more and more common and that cussed by lawmakers, psy¢holo- sators and all sorts of reformers, with more or less hopelessness. It is quite customary to charge the con- dition against home environment.
