THE WRONG WAY TO
DO THE RIGHT THING
Child Labor Cannot Dc Prevented by an
Act of4 Congress Without a Con
stitutional Amendment
"INE of the most encouraging signs of
the awakening of the public con
science s-the condemnation visited on
the exploitation of the labor of children.
Children have n right to their child
hood, they have a right also to grow
and develop into normal physical ma
turity. ,No one who has given any
thought to the matter denies either of
these propositions nowadays. Only those
whose greed for gain blinds their sense
of social responsibility fail to admit
them. Their eye is on the dollar and
they can see nothing else.
But no society ever progressed which
concentrated its attention wholly on
money. The dollar is important and
necessary, but healthy, contented and
happy human beings are much more im
portant. The whole purpose of our
social and political organization is to
make the conditions of working and
living easier iand plcasanter for all of
us. That is why we have schools and
police and fire departments. It is why
we have laws regulating the construction
of houses. It is why' we safeguard mar
riage by statutes. It is why we prevent
unqualified persons from practicing medi
cine and the law.
We have been slow in recognizing that
the self-interest of the employers is not
sufficient to prevent them from injuring
the future generations by putting chil
dren at work when they should be in
school or at play. But we recognize it
now. -Many States have passed laws for
bidding the employment of children
below a given age and social reformers
are urging upon the Legislatures of the
backward States the passage of similar
statutes.
Not content with the rate of progress
by States, they persuaded Congress to
exclude from interstate commerce all
articles in the manufacture of which
children had been employed. Able con
gressional lawyers insisted that such a
law was beyond the power of the national
legislature. But they were unheeded and
the Supreme Court, as was expected, has
declared the act to be unconstitutional,
not because the ends sought are unde
sirable, but because the people them
selves have refrained from granting to
Congress power to interfere with inter
state commerce in such a way.
Now the Congressmen who wish to
stop child labor without waiting for the
slow action of the States arc attempt
ing to' draft bills which will secure that
end by indirection. Senator Pomerene
has already introduced two bills, the first
of which levies a heavy tax on articles
made by child labor when shipped from
one State to another and the second for
bids the shipment of such articles into
States in which child labor is forbidden
by local laws, as the shipment of liquor
into prohibition States is forbidden.
Both of these bills are open to the
objections which the Supreme Court
raised against the act which it declared
invalid. They are an attempt to regu
late commerce in articles which are of
themselves unobjectionable.
No one should make the mistake of
charging those who say that' Congress
cannot regulate child labor with being
opposed to its regulation. It is impor
tant that the employment of children be
forbidden. But it is also important that
Congress should not be allowed to tres
pass upon the rights and privileges re
served to the people and to, the States.
If a constitutional amendment extending
the powers of Congress aver the regula
tion of the labor of children should be
submitted to the people and adopted it
would take not more than two years to
do it if the nation wants it the desired
reforms could be accomplished through
action in Washington. But until such an
amendment is adopted every person
opposed to the disregard by Congress of
the fact that this is a federation of sov
ereign States, with certain rights re
served to the members of the federation,
must regret the persistence of Senators,
and Representatives in their efforts to
trample upon our fundamental law.
Respect for the Constitution is not in
consistent with the advocacy of child
labor legislation in every State where it
has not yet been passed or with demand
ing an improvement in the child labor
laws already in force. The most humane
motives are .actuating the men and
women who are seeking reform through
Washington. They are simply going
about it in the wrong, way.
Von Kuehlmann seems to have leaped
out of 'the 'frying Pan-Germanism Into the
Are of Imperial rage.
BIG SQUEEZE CHANCES
THREE months ago the fear of disillu
sionment of which the Allies .have had
their fill repressed any hope that war
against Germany in 1918 would extend be
yond a terrific duel on the western battle
front. That the fate of the world will be
decided between the Alps and the sea is
still the belief of the most authoritative
experts. Nevertheless, indications have
lately arisen suggesting that the Kaiser
has failed again to confine the war to a
single mammoth campaign.
To speak of a new ring around the Hun
Is, of course, extremely premature. Wo
are' a long way from those conditions of
1916 when the Central Powers were hedged
in on nearly all sides by enemies. On the
other hand, there are at least possibilities
that the circle may be reforged. To Ig
nore them altogether Is almost as short
sighted as to bank on them too soon.
Italy's victory on the Piave and the sur
prising advance of the Czechoslovaks
from Siberia into the western side of
Russia proper are facta unquestionably
uncongenial to the Teuton plans,, BttetM

EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 29,
ceeds the situation of two jears ago might
be repeated, and with a new clement of
strength then unforeseen by Germany.
If the circle should ever be made again
it will no longer have a stalemate rigidity.
America will be pushing with all her
might on the western arc. That "If" Is a
tricky little word need not necessarily
rob It of all claims to consideration. The
"big push" might turn to a "big squeeze."
Considering the way Austro-Hurigarlans
'are at odds with each other, their nation
might today be described as the Duel Mon
archy. '-
MILLIONAIRES OF BEAUTY
w
HAT have you seen today that vou can
call beautiful?
It Is a refreshing diversion. In the eve
ning of a busy "day, to recall how many
things one has witnessed since morning to
which this great word beauty may be ap
plied. When one Is weary or discouraged,
or baffled by the complexity and hurry of
life, it is a healing and soothing comfort
to let the mind dwell for a moment on the
various forms in which Beauty has been
about us during the strenuous hours.
Colors and shapes that are full of hope
and meaning surround us on every hand.
Happy indeed the one who has made a
habit of observing them, of Invigorating
the faculties by enjoying the countless ac
cidents of beauty that are all about us.
It mav be only a vista of sky, washed blue
and clean In morning air, seen from an
office window. It may be a line of poplar
trees quivering and gleaming in the sun.
It may be a face lit with the serene purity
of old age, or a laughing child eager In
some pavement game
The bounties of the ee throng around
us, and If vou take the trouble to remem
ber how many strangely thrilling things
j on have seen today ou will find them
perhaps too many for counting. In the
coinage of the observant cje we can all be
millionaires!

JAPAN LOYAL TO ALLIES
rpHE following editorial, translated from
the Tokyo Asahl Shlmbun, a leading
Japanese dally, shows the eagerness of the
Japanese press that their nation's enthu
siastic adherence to the cause of tho Allies
should not be brought In question. Certain
utterances of Premier Terauchl, which
might possibly be construed as having a
pro-Teuton flavor, have been bitterly con
demned In Japan, and thn Asahl Shlmbun
of May 27 comments thus on tho matter:
As das go on Increasing Importance Is
being attached to the remarks of Premier
Terauchl to the representative of the Outlook
of New York. Not only are they now begin
ning to become a subject of discussion among
the Japanese thinking class, but also among
the foreign residents In this country, and we
have reason to expect that they will. In
course of time, elicit comments among the
Allies and eventually end by offering a wel
come topic to our enemies. The Japan Adver
tiser sajs that when the Premier's words
reach Germany the German press will lose
no time In triumphantly printing them under
the bold headlines "Japanese Premier De
sires Alliance with Germany." AVhat word of
excuse can the Japanese, from the Premier
downward, offer for this? Of late the ex
Forelgn Minister Viscount Motono, anticipat
ing what harm the. Premier's aliened state
ments are calculated to do to the nation in
her International relations, has openly de
clared himself free from any connection with
the affair.
This then leads us to surmte that the
two persons responsible are the Premier
and the Foreign Minister, and It Is only too
natural that what such persons are credited
with salnK should bring back loud echoes
from abroad In all probability the Allied
countries, partly from International courtesy
and partly from the consideration of alliance,
will refrain from den andlng an explanation
from our country, which Is one of the allies
Be this as It may. It Is an unredeemable
loss on our part that the Irresponsible re
marks should give our foreign friends the
impression that our nation, while fighting
on the Mediterranean as a member of the
Allies, Is, on the other hand, treacherous
enough to be dreaming of shaking hands with
German) after tho war. To be under sus
picion Is the greatest dishonor that a nation
could suffer, and It Is an everlasting misfor
tune for a people The disgrace of a nation
could not be greater than when she has lost
the confidence of the rest of tho world, and
no misfortune could he more bitterly felt by
us than that caused h the suspicion of the
other peoples
Premier Terauchl mav. perhaps, have,
given rise to this deplorable ctate of things
unintentional, but the fact nevertheless re
mains that his utterances published to the
whole world have brought the greatest dis
honor upon the nation This Is not easily
revocable How are the Premier and Baron
Goto to discharge themselves of their respon
sibilities toward the world? For some time
past we have ben hearing again the cry for
n Japanese expedition to Siberia, emanating
from France anil England Although It looks
n little strange that tho case of the Siberian
question which was once thrown out of court
should be suddenly brought up for new dis
cussion. et considering the recent conclu
sion of an agreement between China and
Japan, the French and English Invitation to
Japan foi Intervention In Siberia Is not alto
gether without reason
Tho lndlfTcrence of our public toward the
matter and the absence of any sign of Ger
man Invasion to the east seem to be depriving
the Chlno-Japanere agreement, lis well as tho
French and English call for Japanese troops,
of Its practical use In spite of this position
of affairs, should the statements of tho Pre
mier regarding the possibilities of Japan's
alliance with German) and his seeming le
luctaiice to send an army to Siberia make the
position of the country difficult among the
Allies, and should Japan accept the Invitation
of France and England simply to remove
their suspicion, we nnd the whole nation
must moBt positively and emphaticall) object
to such an absurd move. It goes without bay
ing that troops should only be sent to Siberia
If the German eastward Invasion becomes
menacing.
Such a danger, Indeed, seemed vers
near at hand when Russia mado peace with
Germany and the German prisoners of war
In Siberia were set free, but at present we
fall to see any Indications of Germany com
ing eastward It is not our purpose to dis
cuss the Siberian question here. We only
fear lest the Premier's careless speech
against the will of tho nation should lead
Jnpan Into a course of action equally against
our will. We hold that tho Premier and the
Foreign Minister should Immediately take
steps to do what Is necessary to remove any
doubts that may exist in the minds of our
Allies.

Every fallen civilization has perished be

The land laws of the United States are

the result that all our national and State

Little Journeys Toward Paris
By W. Hohenzollern
Translated by Simeon Strunsky
SIMEON STRUNSKY has been having
fun with 'the Kaiser tn a little book
which he has written, entitled "Little Jour
neys Toward Paris, 1914-18 " (Henry Holt
& Co . New York ) It Is described as a
guidebook for confirmed tourists, b W
Hohenzollern, honorary colonel Death's
Head Hussars and doctor of sacred theolo
gy (Unlierslty of Essen) It Is announced
that it Is ' translated from the original
German and adapted to the use of untu
tored minds " Tho "translator" explains
In his preface that "All other guidebooks
to Paris exhibit a certain sameness, aris
ing from the fact that thev arc written bv
tourists who started out for Paris and got
there. Colonel Hohenzollern's book, on
the contrary has nil the freshness of an
unspoiled Ideal. It breathes tho spirit so
admirably conveyed In the familiar Pome
ranian proverb. 'Not jet, but soon
Colonel Hohenzollern does not burden the
reader with a mass of superfluous details
Thus In his account of Paris he leaves
ever so much to the Imagination"
Colonel Hohenzollern describes his ex
periences on twelve different routes to
Paris with much information of value to
the tourist, such as tho train schedules,
the cost of accommodations and the delas
and the' Inconveniences one is liable to
encounter on the way. The volume Is illus
trated by maps of Paris, London, Wash
ington, Calais and other cities, which rep
resent these places not as they are, but
as they ought to be. Each map is a repro
duction of the one preceding, the only
change being In the title There is a
square In the center containing a William
II equestrian statue To the northeast Is
tho Gross-und-net-Admlral von Tlrpltz
fountain To the northwest Is a river
crossed by a Haupt-Quartlermelster-Gen-eral
von Ludendorft bridge. There are a
Blsslng subtreanury, a Crown Prince por

STARTING from the general neighbor
hood of Metz In the early morning of
February 21, the train goes bowling over
the plain of the Woevre in the direction
of the Heights of the Meuse.
On our right we observe the Krown
Prince feverishly calculating the number
of clocks and Sevres vases in the Louvre.
On our left we observe the Pony Ballet
of Prussian Professors rehearsing the
French Indemnity. Up stage, in deep cen
ter, Wllhelm II la preparing to mount his
horse for the twenty-seventh grand entry
in to Somewhere In France, the twenty-six
previous performances having been post
poned on account of wet grounds. Off
stage we catch a glimpse of the Hlnden
burg Reserve, grimly reserving Its Judg
ment as to the outcome of the trip.
Rushing forward through space we ar
rive In the afternoon of February 25 at
Douaumont Junction, having covered five
miles at breakneck speed In five days.

1918
n half jears since August 1, 1914, Petaln
underwent a marvelous expansion, having
risen from the fourth, or Colonel, class to
first, or commander In-chief, rank. It Is
the center of a group of flourishing com
munities, notable among which we may
name Castelnau (tho ancient German Neu
Kassel), and Nlvelle (the ancient German
Nlbelung) Trom the outskirts of Petaln
the tourist, before changing cars, ma
catch a glimpse of
TTERDL'N (th? ancient German v'er-
dammt), a city of absolutely no conse
quence when one comes to think of It. and
certainly not wotth the trouble of argu
ing about with the Petaln Home Guards.
Here, therefoie, wo cross over to the sta
tion marked Exit nnd, embarking on the
Krown Prince Shuttle Express, enter the
tunnel once more and head for Metz and
points east and north, for rest and re
cuperation. VN MARCH 2, considciably refreshed by
-' a week's study of German explanations
how it all happened, we set out once more
in the direction of Verdun, which on fur
ther consideration does offer considerable
Interest to the traveler.
Thls time we make our way bj the
Switchback Accommodation along the
western bank of the Meuse, on the other
side of which we enjoy a glimpse of the
Cote de Poivre (Hill of the French Pep)
By March 14, proceeding In characteristic
national fashion, faiiosam nnd deutschlich,
we arrive at the outskirts of Mort Homme
(French Mustard)
Descending the reverse slope we find
that by an extraordinary bit of municipal
enterprise the Petaln Terminus has been
moved oicr jro'in the other aide of the
river.
RETURNING to the top of Mort Homme
we catch an extensive view of the
country to the south which confirms the
earlier impression of its not being worth
bothering about. We then set out for the
return Journey to Metz. This excursion
may be frequently repeated in the course
of the next five months, but the prohlbl
tlve costs must be balanced against the
educational benefits derived.

But plaved life's game the fairest way
That he knew how.
