A NATIONAL REMEDY FOB A NATIONAL EVIL.
There has been a local tempeatln a teapot over a side remark of Sen
ator Beveridge's In bis really great speech on the child labor aril and Id
prevention by a national law.
In a paaaage-at-artna with Senator Bacon. Beveridge,said the GeorgU
lew was worthless without factory Inspection, and. mUreadlng an extract
from our neighbor, The Journal, said that 1.000 applications for the employ
ment of children under twelve years nad already bean granted by Ordi
nary Wilkinson. Senator Beveridge, however. ImmedUtely corrected this
statement by reading tbe extract entire and Inserting It In the record.
But 8enator Bacon, who appears now In tbe role of defending the
Georgia child labor law, for which some of us have been Aghtlng for
years, was, of course, able to obtain a contradiction from AtUma about
tbe three thousand application*, which it 'appears was merely an esti
mate of the county ordinary.
Of course our neighbor. The Constitution, could not resist the oppor
tunity to take advantage of tbe situation to rebuke Senator Beveridge
and Incidentally The Journal for Its wild autementa.
But The Georgian does not wish thus to be led aside from the main
issue. It has fought too long for the rights of the children to be distract
ed from a question affecting the childhood of tbe entire naGmi. by such
lietty considerations. Here Is a- great and a far-reaching proposition:
that under the constitutional clause by which tha states surrendered to
the nation their separate and sovereign,power lo tha control of commerce
between the atates, It la possible for the nation to regulate commerce for
tbe protection of tha future cltlxensblp of tha nation from the conse
quence* of premature toll. .
A careful reading of the argument of tha brilliant senator from
Indiana, who baa generally been found fighting on the atde of the people,
convinces us that he has made out his case. His argument waa aupiiorted
throughout by sworn testimony and the facts adduced were enough to
arouse the nation.
These exhibits of the employment of children ware by no means sec
tional. A whole dey was taken up with the abuse of childhood In the
mines and glass factories and sweat-shops of tbe Northern states. Tbe
setting forth of tbe facts about tha conditions In the Southern states was
not Bn attack upon the South but rather a defense of tha best Interests of
the South, which He In her future white cltlxens rather than In excessive
dividends obtained through their toll. And tha facta ot the census are
striking enough. They show that the child labor evil In tha South Is con
fined practically to the cotton factories; that while the employment of
children In tbe cotton mills of the North Is bad enough, one operative In
ten being uuder II, In Ibe South It is one operative In three that Is under
16. while 997 llttla lots, from S to 9 years of sge, were actually found
working In Hie mills in Georgia and the Carollnai, (hough the census
enumerators were not required by their Inetruetlone to report children un
der ten at work, the supposition being that the thing was unheard of.
There are too many iieople who know the facts for any successful con
tradiction of them and he Is not doing the South a service who even
minimises t£e evil or falls lo tell the simple wholesome truth about It.
But the evil la a national evil. And the experience of the older man-
iifacturlng states seems to prove that It la the kind of evil that cannot be
effectively reached by the police power of the states, and therefore re
quires the strong arm of the national government.
The lottery evil waa one that might have been retched by the police
imwcr of forty-five states, with different standards of morality, after a
half century of partial endurance of the evil. But aa long aa the lottery
waa tolerated In one state, the other atates were unable to protect their
cltltens from Ita blighting Influence. Therefore, under the authority to es
tablish postofRces and postroads the transmission of lottery tickets
through the malls was forbidden, and through this same power to regu
late commerce between the atates, their transmission by the express com
panies from one state to another was also forbidden. And that killed the
lottery In America.
Just ao the Bevorldge hill proposes to abolish child labor where the
system U most harmful to the child—the factory, which would Include the
sweatshop, and ihe mine. As we bavo already noted, the bill prohibits
-any -.railroad from, transporting (ram one state to another the products of
any mine or factory where children are employed. The railroad company
protect* Itself by securing a certificate from the mine or factory. The
mine or factory can protact Itaelf by the simple expedient ot not employ
ing children under 14 years ot age.
Another argument that aeema to ua conclusive, that this national
law does not transgress the doctrine of states' rights, Is that the power
of congress over Interstate and foreign commerce la the same. Hut con
gress has already forbidden the transportation of convict-made goods
from foreign countries. It has therefore the imwer ‘to prohibit the trans
portation of convict-made goods, or of child made goods from one state to
another. It la a right that the states transferred to tho national govern-
mont. and, as we have before pointed nut. It Is a right that the national
government must exercise If the states are to be protected against the
operation of the oppressive corporations. The Democratic party would be
foolish to throw away such a weapon of defense aa that.
And tho South cannot afford to oppose a measure for the protection
of the childhood of America. While in one Industry the percentage of
children employed la greater than In that of any other Industry elsewhere,
the number of these little child workers Is greater In tho North, there be
ing more under 16 In Pennsylvania thnn In the entire South Why. then,
should we act as though our toes were bring stepped upon, as though the
matter were a sectional one? It Is a national etrfl and It needs a national
cure.
We are of tbe opinion that the l*est thing that could happen to tbe
mining and manufacturing Interests of tbs country wpuld be the passage
of this law at the short session of congress. Its defeat will tint prolong
the period of discussion, with fresh revelations of the evil shown dally.
The press of the entire country Is already routed on (he subject. Thero
can bo no doubt about tho final victory for the cause In tho mind of any
man who believes In tho humanity of the American people. The very
passage of the recent law In Georgia showed the foree of public opinion
more than anything else.
And wo throw out this further suggestion. The tariff discussion In
this country cannot be postponed much longer. The manufacturers who
are put In the wrong on Ihe child-labor quealion. some of whom may bo
fatally damaged by tbo revelations of their abuse of childhood, will be In
poor position to aak any favors of the American people when tbo revis
ion ot the tariff begins. The meat-packers could not ask such favors Just
now. and. It will be remembered. It was their obstinacy that provoked tho
revelations that disgusted America.
The tariff on cotton goods Is pretty high, Is worth a good dent to the
cotton manufacturer. Ilut the people know how to punish those who
shock their sense of right. There Is no sort of doubt, to him who can
read the signs of the times, that the American p<op'e have determined to
sliollsh child labor In thla republic.
There la no appeal more powerful than that which helpless childhood
makes. And It will fare III with those who succeed In thwarting their
will even for n time. They will not be Inclined to reward with the pro
tection of Infant Industries those who have lieen guilty of the exploits-
Him of Infant Industry.
seats should pay five cants, haa In It gr. element of Jostles and of fits-
mor. —
Of course, no man or woman In a public conveyance who haa to stand
and be Jostled should pay as much as another passenger whs alts and
slaepa during a suburban ride.
And It would be no llttla compensation to so many of these gallant
and courteous gentlemen who hopefully seat themselves at the corner
aay of Broad and Alabama, aod as hopelessly rise and surrender at the
corner of Whitehall and Mitchell. If they could pay only a penny for Ihe
passage which Is made with ao much discomfort and fatigue.
Perhaps under this new arrangement there might he a marvelous
Influx of oourtexy among the more stalwart gallants of our civilisation,
and many a young fellow who with Ibe manners at a colder climate pulls
bla hat dosm over hla eyes and alts now while ladies aland and awing and
roll and toas, might actually lie willing to a walt upon entering a oar to see
that all tbe seats were filled by ladles and perhaps purrhase a rebate of
tour cents on hi* own suburban fare.
It Is certainly true that those who have to stand would find at ieast
some financial compensation for the discomfort entailed.
It would also be a humorous observation to note Just exactly the
length of time ft would take Uila happy ordinance to Increase the facili
ties for which we have petitioned and prayed for so many years.
And It Is probable under all circumstances that the strap-hanger
would become, Instead of tbe shame-faced Institution that he Is, one of
the actual rollicking hsppy passengers who realised that he was getting
his fare unusually cheap and might even brace himself to be paUent under
the discomfort of his passage.
“The one cent fare/
For the Passengalre
Who hangs on the strap In the upper air,"
has a great dual lo commend It to the Judgment and expectation of the
traveling public.
But, alas.' In the concluding reflection we reach an obltadc that has
l>erhaps not been evident to Alderman Key, and may have perhaps escap
ed the city council.
Thero are no straps In the Atlanta street ears!
The passengers swing and roll and Jostle without any support, mor
al or tangible, from the company or the car.
They support themselves by their expectations.
They hang by tbe atmosphere.

The Preachers Will Stand Steadfast.
T** the Editor of The Georgian:
1 write lo commend moat heartily
your editorial on "The Preacher and the
Theater." My surprise Is not that you
maintain such attitude, but that a P<i-
tri'r ho popular as The Constitution
should champion th© opposite. But I
feel sure that you are safe In saying.
"We believe our preacher* >»f right-
eousnes* will stand steadfast a iltUs
longer. In fact, we know they will."

Just a line to thank you for your ed*
Itorlnl of January 31. "Preachers and
the Theater." I con*id©r this one of

tnrnt* I have ever seen or h«umi.
winning you anti The Georgian con

Opposes Preachers et Theater.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Please let me say amen to the edito
rial lit Tho Gcorgh n this afternoon.
January 31. “The Preachers and th©
Theater."
1 nni truly glad we have one dally
pat or whose editor stands for right-
cousn'Sh and truth. Efforts nave been
mad© to reform the theater nnd make
It respectable, but uV In vain. Th©
thing h( wrong. The tendency Is lo
evil and that continually. Hundreds of
thousands of young men and women
are annually r lined by this snare of the
evil one. A young man »nld to n.e the
other day, while In the city of Atlanta,
that great crowds of the young men go
from th© theater Ut other placex of vlca
and Immorality suggested by tbe per
formance at the theaters.
We don’t want theatergoing preach
ers. but preachers baptised with the
Holy* Ghost and witft firs, with moral
courage to declare the whole council of
God and not to h© conformed tq this
age. But to Are the gospel gun clear and
strong at the gait of pleasure, that kind
of fun and froitrthat ends In moral and
spiritual death to the present genera
tion. When a preacher joins the ranks
of the devil he should step down and
out of his pulpit. Editors of our great
dally newspapers should remember
their responsibility. Country people
read them, then go by tbo thousands
in the way Indicated right or wrong. X
am a country preacher and speak what
I know to be true. 1 am for The Geor
gian flrst nnd lant, a self-appointed
agent, and never lr l a ebsnoe to speak
a word tor this clean and courageous
paper slip. Buccei • to The Georgian.

FATE
Two shall be born the whole wide world
apart
And speak In different tongues and
have no thought
Each of the other's being and no heed.
And these o'er unknown seas to un
known lands
8hall cross, escaping wreck, defying
death
And all unconsciously shape every act
And beuil each wandering step to this
on© end—
That on© day out of darkness they
shall meat
And read life's meaning In each other s
eyea
And two shall walk some narrow way
of life.
So nearly side by side thnt should one
turn
Ever so little space to left or right
They needs must stand acknowledged
face to face.
And yet with wistful «yas that never
. meet.
With groping hands that never clasp
and lips
Calling tn vain to ears that pavar hear.
They seek each other all their weary
days
And die unsstlsfled. And thla Is fate.
—8uaan Marr Spalding.
