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 For Ihe Passengalrc Who hang* on the strap In the upper air," 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. There giy no atrapa In the Atlanta street cars! The passengers swing and roll and Jostle without any support, mor al or tangible, from the company or the car. They aupport themselves by their expectations. ' They hang by the atmosphere. 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.

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. DR. J THANKS FROM OFFICIAL STATION To the Editor of Th ! i n,*: Investments.
