Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus has contributed to this general belief by espousing several of the causes dear to the hearts of the social-minded. His endorsement of the pending amend ment to the Federal constitution which would abolish child labor was a. pleasant surprise to many and heartens its friends. As a result of the support of the governor, it would not be surprising, in view of the national administra tion’s viewpoint, to see this State join in the movement to ratify the amend ment.
