There has been a local tempettln a teapot over a aide remark of Ben-
•tor Beveridge * In hla really great Ipeech on the child labor evil and Its
prevention by a national law. ^
In a imssage at-arma with Senator Bacon. Beveridge aald (be Georgia
law was worthless without factory Inspection, and. misreading an extract
from our nelghlmr. The Journal, aald that 3,000 applications for the employ
ment of children under twelve years had already been granted by Ordi
nary Wilkinson. Senator Beveridge, however. Immediately corrected this
statement l»y reading the extract entire and Inserting It In the record.
lint Senator Bacon, who appeara now In the role of defending the
Georgia child labor la w . (Or Which hOiMOfBiMV* been BgMtng for
years, was. of course, able to obtain a contrrdlctlnn from Atlanta about
the three thousand applications, which It appears was merely an esti
mate of the county ordinary. -
Of courae our neighbor, The Constitution, could not reals! Ibe oppor
tunity lo take advantage of the sltuattou to rebuke Senator Beveridge
and Incidentally The Journal for Ita wild alatemenls.
But The Georgian does not wish thua to be led aside from the mala
Issue. It haa fought too long for the rights of the children to be distract
ed from a question affecting the childhood of the entire nation, by such
petty considerations. Here is a great and a far-reaching proposition:
that under Ihe constitutional clause by which the states surrendered to
the nation their separate and sovereign power In the control of commerce
between the atatei. It la possible for Ihe nation to regulate commerce for
the protection of Ihe future cltlxenahlp of the nation from Ihe conse-
queurps of premature toll.
A careful reading of the argument of the brilliant senator from
Indiana, who has generally been found fighting on (he side of the' people,
convinces us tlmt he has made out hla case. Hla argument waa supported
throughout by sworn testimony and the facts adduced were enough to
arouse the nation.
These exhibits of the employment of children were by no means sec
tional. A whole day was laken up with the abuse of childhood In the
mines and glass factories and sweat-shops of the Northern states. The
set ling forth of (he facts about the condition* In the Southern states was
, not an attack upon the South but rather a defense of the best Interests of
the South, which lie In her future whlto citizens rather than In excessive
dividends obtained through their toll. And the facta of the cenius are
striking enough. They show that the child labor evil in the South la con-
lined practically to the cotton factories; that while the employment of
children In the collon mills of the North Is bad enough, one operative In
ten being under IS. In the South It la one operative In three that Is under
16. white 997 lltlte lots, from 6 to t years of age, were actually found
.working-in^the mills In Georgia and the Carolina*, lhgmlL-thg-£*MM$
enumerators were not required by their Instructions to report chtldron un
der ten at work, the supposition being that the thing waa unheard of.
- There are too many people who know Ihe facta for any successful con
tradiction of them uud he la not doing the South a service who even
minimizes the evil or falls to tell the Hlmple wholesome truth about It.
But the evil la a national evil. And the.ezperlence of the older man
ufacturing Hales Bccnm to imive that It la the kind of evil that cannot be
effectively reached by the police power of the elates, and therefore re
quires the strong arm of the national government.
The lottery evil was one that might have been reached by the police
liower of forty-five slates, with different standards of morality, after a
half century vif partial endurance of the evil. But at long as the lottery
was tolerated In one state, the other states were unable lo protect their
cljltens from .Its blighting Influence. Therefore, under the authority to es
tablish iiostofllcea and poatroada the transmission of lottery tickets
through the malls waa forbidden, and through this same power to regu
late commerce between the states, their tranamlaalon by the express com
panies from one state to auother was nlso forbidden. And that killed the
lottery In America.
Just so the Beveridge hill proposes to sbollsh child labor where tho
aysteyn.la most barmful to the child—Ihe factory, which would Include the
seats should pay five cents, ba* In l> an elamect of jostle? and of hu
mor. . ,
Of coarse, m) man or woman In a public cooveyancs who baa |o stead
and be Jostled should pay as much aa another pasaenge- who sits and
sleeps during a suburban ride.
And It would lie no little compensation to ao many of these gallant
and courteous geatlameu who hoiiefully seat themselves at the comer
aay of Broad and Alabama, and aa ItofieleMly rise and surrender at the
corner of Whitehall and Mitchell. If they could pay only a penny for the
paaaage which la made with so much discomfort and fatigue.
Perhaps under this new arrangement there might be a marvelous
Influx of courtesy among the more stalwart gallants of our civilisation,
and many a young fellow who with the manners of a colder climate intlla
bis hat down over his eyes mid slta now while ladles stand and awing and
roll and loti, might actually be willing to wait upon entering a car to see
that all the teats were filled by ladles and perhaps purchase a rebate of
(our cents on hit own suburban fare.
It la certainly true that those who have lo aland would find at least
some financial compensation for the discomfort entailed.
It would alio be a humorous observation to note Juat exactly ihe
length of time It would lake this happy ordinance lo increase Ihe facili
ties for which we have iietltloned and prayed for so many years.
And It la probable under all circumstances that the strap-hanger
would become, Instead of (he aliame-faccd Institution that he Is, one of
the actual rollicking happy passengers who realised that he waa getting
hla fare unusually cheap and might even brace hlmaelf to be patient under
the discomfort of hla passage.
"The one ernt fare

has a great deal to commend I) lo the Judgment and expectation of the
traveling public.
But, alaa! In Ibe concluding reflection we reach an obstacle that has
perhaps not been evident lo Alderman Key, and may. have perhaps escap
ed the city council.

aweatabopi and! the mine. As we have already noted, the bill prohibit!
any railroad tnxn tranaiiortlng from oho state to another the product* of
■ny.mlnc or factory where children nre employed. The railroad company
protects Itself by securing a certificate from the mine or factory. The
mine or factory can protect Itself by the simple expedient of not employ
ing children under 14 years of age.
Another argument that seems to us conclusive, that this national
law dues uot transgress the doctrine of states' rights, Is that the power
af congress over Interstate and foreign commerce Is the same. But con
gress has already forbidden the transportation of convict-made goods
from foreign countries. It hss therefore the power to prohibit the trans
portation of convict-made goods, or of child-made goods from one state to
another. It la a right thHt the stales transferred to the national govern
ment. and, as we have before pointed out. It Is a right that the national
government must exercise If the atnles are to be protected against the
nitration of the oppressive corporations. The Democratic party would be
foolish to throw away such n weapon of defense as that.
And Ihe South cannot ufford to oppose a measure for the protection
of (lie childhood of America. While in oue Industry the percentage of
children employed Is greater than In that of any other Industry elsewhere,
the number of these little child workers Is greater In the North, there be
ing more undrr 16 In Pennsylvania than in the entire South. Why. then,
should wo aet ns''though our lues were being etep|>ed U|hui, as though the
matter were a sectional one? It Is a national evil and It needs a national
cure.

i nut great crowds of the young men go
from the thtater to other places of vice

formance at the theaters.
We don't want theatergoing preach*
orn, hut preachers baptised with tha
Holy ahoRt and with (ire. with moral
courage to declare the whole council of
God and not to be conformed to this
age. But to fire the goeptl gun clear and
strong at the gait of pleasure, that kind
tt fun and frolic tha* endi In moral i
spiritual death to the present genera*
tion. When u preacher Joins the ranks
of the devil he ehojld step down and
out of nls pulpit. Editors of our graat
dally newspapers should remember
their responsibility. Country people
read them, (hen go by tho thousands

FATE.
Opposes Preachers «t Theater.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Please let mo say ninon to the edito
rial lu The GcovgU-n tlil« afternoon.
January 31, “The Preachers and the
Theater."
raiii truly glad we have one tally
pill or whose editor stundh for right-
couin'ss nnd truth. EtYorts nave been
made to reform thc x theater nnd make
It respectable, but ul 1 tn vain. The
thing Ik wrong. The tendency is to
evil and that continually. Hundreds of
tliouNnndN of young imn nnd women
m e annually r lined by thU snare *>f the
evil one. A young man an Id to tic the
Two shall be born the whole wide world
apart
And speak In different tongues and
lu»v* no thought
Each of tha other's being and no heed.
An»1 these o'er unknown seas to un
known lands
8hall cross, escaping wreck, defying
denth
And nil unconsciously shape every net
And bend each wandering step to this
ono end—
That one day out of darkness they
shall meet
And read life's moaning In each other's
eyes.
And two Hhnll walk some narrow way
of life.
So nearly side by side that should one
turn
Ever ho little space to left ot"Vlght
They needs must stand acknowledged
face to face.
And yer with wistful eyes that never
meet.
With groping hands that nover clasp
and lips
Calling In vain to ears that never hear.
They seek each other all their weary
days
And die unsatisfied. And this Is fate.
—Susan Marr Spalding.
