' -Had the Child labor Law been passed ten vears aro, not a lawyer in the land would Kase riked a leal reputation by seriously contending that it was constitutional. c have had a great stretching ol tnc power 01 Conrress over interstate commerce, but nolh- inr akin to this. For under the provisions of the act. while the effect is to take away the sovereirnty of the state by establishing a po lice regulation governing terms and hours of emr'ovment of its cilixens, the method adopted . .. . t r IS inai ot temporaniy penalizing inc manuiac- turer or prontaitmj? interstate commerce in his product. In other words, it is gratcly al- Irjred thai the method of producing an article which in itself is innocent and even a staple item 01 consumption puts upon it a moral taini rendering il an improper subject of commerce between the states. And this bit of statutory metaphysics is further refined by the provision I that the embargo continue for thirty days onlr the stirma of baby hands havinir bv I that lime evaporated as it were from the rrod- uct that comes from the loom or runs out ihe hopper of machinery. In setting forth this contention Trofcssor Koscoe Pound, dean of the Harvard Law School, i reported to hae told the court that ihe reason was 'the protection of the rcop!c of the states which do not employ child labor from unwitting patron age of manufacturers who do use children in their factories, and that the national legisla ture ha ihe right and the duty t take into consideration the "repugnance the majority of teople might feel to having brought to their omes good made by childish hand and to pass a law to forbid the use of channels of interstate commerce to the spread of such article."" . -A we have stated, the courts have here tofore gone to extreme lengths in endowing Congres with undreamed-of right under the Interstate Commerce CUuc. They have de clared immoral women subjects of commerce (baggage) although capable of the exercise of free-will, on the ground of the danger of their Iran rotation for immoral purposes. They have held that liquor i an article which state action can stigmatize so a to prevent its shipment in interstate commerce to ihe com munity which ha convicted it. a they had previously held that lottery ticket were im moral in the conception of ihe nation, althouch licenxd by the individual state iictik-u vj mc incmcuai state. In the Adam- son uw tney nave declared that th rvntv t;. in Congres to fix wage of those engaged in interstate commerce. Hut all these things arc matter which merely lead up to the power cf abrogation of state law, of legislating for tr.e state oy the nation, which is imposed by the Chdd I-abor statute. i-wor a a principle is not in volvedno matter how its proponents may prate. It is not even involved in the law itself except by adroit indirection, for the taint which the law places oa the product is tem porary and final and good produced by chil dren may be shipped at will after thirty day. 11 t noi in any enc a war measure, not only because conceived before the war but beeauit its operation immediately will be in restraint rather than tn stimulation of production and encrable instrument as a wonder-box out cf which any thing may come at none of which wc shall But after all the Supreme Coutc seems to be willing to make the Constitution fit any case tnat comes aong, and perhaps it has an doubted right to do it.

Hindered. The foolish women in Washington who thought it Smart Alecky to parade with banj r.ers and who are doing time, have done much against the cause of suffrage. They represent a different branch-a branch of women who want CongTcss to pass a suffrage law whereas the other branch simply wants Con: grcss to submit to the states the proportion to let women vote. In-other words it '$ the dream of the suffragist to let her own state express the desire to let wjmen vote. This i the suffragist's idea; whereas the suffragette; uv w. the militant and foolish spcllbinler. -want 10 force something upon the people That is the way we understand it. and that if why we say the fool women in Washington uvs.icuru .1,; .nVak. about these women who, hclhcr they belong to the 5haw wing of the party or not, have brought disgrace not only w-m vf-v - unon American women s husc, American womanhood.

A day or two ahead of time, but the same old Long Cold Spell due each month. 0 Something Should Be Done. There arc many streets in Greensboro sadly needing paving, and the finances of the cfty will not allow the rrouest of orooertv owners to be granted. The law is that the property owner pay half, and the city the other half, a very good proposition for the city by the way. But the city find itself unable to do what the property-owners want. The regret is that when the paving bond were issued there were! not enough of ihem to at least meet the re quirements of the principal streets Almost every day a delegation of indignant citizens call on the Commissioners pleading for pave ments. It was shown yesterday that Park Drive, a roadway leading to the so-called leauty spot of Greensboro, as Mr. Robert Douglas termed it, becomes impassable in winter weather. Thi is simply disgraceful, and it costs the whole city money not to have it paved. And there arc other streets that need paving, and property owners are ready and willing to do their part but the city hasn't any money and doesn't know how to get money. Looks like something could be done and the city paved. 0 Danville Complains. ' Danville is now complaining because she was not given credit for all the soldiers she sent to the field before the draft days. Bit terly the Register insists that it. is wrong. Greensboro had the same experience. Greens boro had already equipped three different companies the Grays, the Engineering corps and the Ambulance corps. But when it came to furmsmng soldiers under the draft. our just the same as thou eh responded. three exemption boards greed that it would be bet. ter to proceed and raise the additional mn which has been done, but in all candor it was not exactly a square deal. Who is to blame or whether any one is to blame under the law wc do not know. The Register thinks lhat both Crowder and its Governor are to blame. Judge Boyd sat throuch the lontr speech- making period, but he doubtless knew iust about as much about the facts in th n before as after. Judges, however, must pay re spectful attention to the lawyer employed to talk.

South, about deserters and slackers, found time as August was passing to play a classic on the soft pedal. Under the heading of. the "Aging 'Year" it prints this, worth time to read tomorrow or next day. It touches the right chord and is worth perusing: "The year 1917 is passing its prime and, now enters the ripe stage, that in. turn will yield to wintry age and final death. Always somewhere about the dose of Augustone feels a subtle transition from the expectant forward attitude of blooming, fruiting spring and 'early summer to the ripened realized harvests of the- usy with spring. new cre- for last chance lntoac- ngers at summons to are new every seedy -crows into dsummer ar- and. heat as well rather oppress us. Energy flags, hopetul " O . . Mnfctancv ptows anxious lest things go not well and untoward circumstances rob labor of its reward. "Finally September seems suddenly some how to be upon us. The day nas shorteaed by a full hour. Some morning we step forth 'to discover that a crisp coolness has slipped upon us from somewhere faint reminder that for better or for .worse another summer has had its day and is receding before the coming au tumn. On such a morning long after sunrise the dew lingers wet and sparkling on grass and weed and flower. Out in the country, if not in the city, the damp ' twilight breeze brings sweet odors of curing fodder and ripen ine muscadines.. Evervthincr is maturing, for nature is finishing her far-spread summer task in field and iorest. And no sensitive nature but feels it in a vague mood that often knows no utterance except a sign, as 11 tne spirit saia gently, Tis nearly over the new act ot crea tion by blessing of which we shall live another year; so soon it .will be farewell to leaf and blossom "So does anticipation in April merge into the realization of September, and rarely has the earlier vision found comlpete reality. Un suspected difficulty, adverse behavior of the weather, unforeseen handicap have in various combinations trimmed down the fullness of success planned for. Yet there has been suc cess in some measure for the vast majority and thcy arc glad to behold the solid results ready for crib and bin It is a curious m0od the rladness of the harvest mineled subtly with the sadness of farewell to something that, as it were, but yesterday we welcomed with joy and now already is passing from us the grow - " i 1 l Li ! . ing, blooming, bright summer season. o The new election is called to change charter. The ordinance appears today, the and the hope. is that every citizen of Grenesboro I will get behind this issue and see that it goes I through. We need the school board and we need the money. It will not cost each mdivid- ual property owner mucm Dut it will do a world of good. Get busy and talk for the change. - o Lest -Than Five Thousand. The school census taker has just completed his task of ascertaining how many children of school age are located in this city, and he finds, that we haven't as many as we had last year. The general understanding was that Greensboro had been growing some, but the school figures do not show it. Last year Mr. Charles Lamb took the census in eleven days. He completed his work and found nearer five thousand children than Mr. McLean has found and he has been on the job for 'five weeks, within a day of three weeks longer than it took a year ago, so it is to be supposed that he got the record on all children. Perhaps there is a reason for this, and what we would like to see just now is a police census of the city.. Let us really know whether we are go iv forward or backward in the matter of population. Once upon a time we claimed forty thousand people, but we didn't, have quite that many. A census of our population would be worth while in the face of the school figures, and'this is a matter that should vitally interest the. Chamber of Commerce, spelled with capital letters. o The paving question still bobs up, and no money is in the treasury. Why not vote a hundred thousand dollars in paving bonds, sell them and make a city out of Greensboro? It will cost something, but it will come back tenfold. Glad Of It. Really 'if all the things we hear concerning the cantonments are true we are really glad that Greensboro didn't get one. The orders being issued to drive out broken winged bats, gamblers, pickpockets and what not suggest that scores of outlaws fiock around these places and it has taken squads of secret servir men 10 get lniormaiion. Greenshnrn mar do the temporary business done by the towns fighting for and getting camps, but shp will come along stronger and cleaner than some of the places which spent big money to get a temporary boom. o - ' ..y ww uet i$uty.

The Supreme Court of the UnitC(j States will be called upon to render its opin. ion, and the chances are,, judging by what that court has done in the past, it will prtt. nounce.the law constitutional, because "tap. pears to be thepolicy of the country to alio "Congress to. pass most any sort of a law that appeals tp demand made temporarily popu. laf'by the 'propaganda of hysterical people wna-build alluring theories along socialistic plans. The, Keating-Owen bill is not reasonable; It doesn't, only, prohibit the oroduct of rKu labor from entering into interstate commerce but it prohibits the product of adult labor from .nt.rinir intarctof. n -ri "& "iv-i Jioit vuiumcrce. mat ig 5 ta TAmJL say, u 1,000 men iorty years of age were man a manv 1 rvim c in o mftnM .:n . -r .'ww.aa a V.UIIUU 111111 , 11 CVPfV inch of cloth produced by that milt was made by adult labor, and it happened that the son of the proprietor of that mill was allowed to be employed as long as five minutes in any one day or any one week in that mill as a boot black, as an office boy, as anything not havin? to do witn making, the goods, if that boy was under thirteen years of ae:e, the entire nrnH,, . I 1J t 'J r-.i woum oe aeniea smpmenr To make it plainer, the law is not design to stop child labor in the manufacture of goods, but designed to protect union labor in other sections of the country than the South Here is where the question comes : Does tie constitution protect a man in the enjoyment of life, liberty and the ;pursuit of happiness? Can Congress use the interstate commerce law to stop child labor when the child labor doesn't enter into the product manufactured? But the Supreme Court will perhaps fall back to its famous proposition that when a law U not unaersrooa it is up to tne ones internet. ing it to apply the "rule of reason," which means that any set of men acting as judges can interpret a. law to mei.n anvthino- tw within their scope of reason seems plausible J lUQL w - -mai iywny we unnx me nigner court will reverse Boyd.. It is certainly clear that the jvcmug-vjveii uiu was passea, not to control commerce in any way, but to stop the employ ment of children in mills and factories. North Carolina already has a law governing this; a law that satisfied its people. Congress had no right to come in and interfere with the police regulations of our state, so it was found neces sary jto use something that Congress could use, and it took the interstate commerce law, and the bill reads that if the mills employed men forty years of age, and never a child was al lowed towerk oneminute in making the goods that were to be offered for shipment, yet if one lone boy under fourteen years of age" ren- J J t. m dered service by carrying a bucket of water to the mill brcheeked a load of cotton thatfm. pened4o arrive when no one was present, the entire output of that mill would be'pjadca '.

The other side argued that.upder all decisions of the Supreme Court. Congress had only a right to regulate commerce; that it could not pro hibit lawful commerce, and this law did pro hibit,, so therefore was unconstitutional. Whether constitutional or unconstitutional it certainly has assumed powers that are dan gerous and morally wrong. But you can prove anything by the Constitution, so let's wait and see. . - The Panama Canal. The utility of the Panama canal in time of war was strikingly shown recently in the ex ploit of, the United States torpedo boat de strower Shaw, - which made a run of 5,858 milesfrom the Pacific coast to the Atlantic coast "in fourteen days ten hours and twenty minutes, including a record-breaking passage through the canal of five hours and forty-five minutes. It was just nineteen years before that the United States battleship Oregon, un der the command of Captain Charles E. Clark, at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war, dashed down the west coast of the American continent, through the strait of Magellan and up the east coast, a distance of 13,000 miles, from San Francisco to KeyWest ,in sixty five days. . . o Jot Mary Reversals. It appears that the local exemption boards of this county did their work very well, at least the district board hasn't done much re-' versing. The local board was, of course, han dicapped in some instances where people well known wanted exemption. But it remembered its oath ; it knew its duty and proceeded along judicial lines. Therefore the three boards are to be congratulated upon the work they have so far done. But very Jew cases have been re turned, and this speaks well for those who had a task that wasn't at all pleasant. . o Gypsies In Ford Cars. The papers relate that several bands of gyp sies are abroad in the land, but they are trav eling in Ford cars:, ' This knocks all the ro mance out of the svpsv band. : Certainly for a I lazv crvrnsv tn nhUtrA r)trt nut and cranJc orv - . .
