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.
