Child Laber and Illiteracy
Te the Editor 0 the Bvenine Public Ledger:
Sir It in interesting te read the rea rea
Mens advanced by the Supreme Court of
the United States for declaring un
constitutional the law taxing the pre
ducts of child labor, the opinion of the
court stating that the law Interfered
with States rights. The law was
pneHcd in the interest of the education
of the children of the whole United
States, and as education of the child
Iff the foundation upon which geed clti -zcnshln
Is built. It would seem te the
ordinary layman that It 1b a matter
concerning the welfare el an tne people
of the United States, nnd does net In
tcfere with any State's rights. When
such decisions nre handed down by the
highest court In the land, it Is about
time that the people demanded that the
Judges of the Supreme Court should
be elected by the people" direct. If this
Is a government of the people, by the
people, and for the people, they should
nave a say as te who shall represent
them in the three branches of the Gov
ernment. In the President's Cabinet there is
no officer having direct charge ever the
education of the people. There are de
partments for the affairs of State, In
terior, Commerce, etc., but the most
Important feature in the development
of the country Is left in the hands of
a small bureau in the Department of
the Interior. The amount of illiteracy
among the enlisted men In the army
during the last war waa shown te be
25 per cent, or about 1,000,000 out of
the 4.000,000 were illiterate. Quite an
Item for n people that are te make the
world safe for democracy. The census
of 1020 showed that about the same
percentage of all the people of the
United States were illiterate. Is this
a matter of interest only within the
several StateR or docs It net affect the
life of the country as a whole? Any
thing that se vitally concerns the whole
people should be a matter of govern
ment supervision nnd net a matter for
theStates te control.
We have all kinds of organization!
ana societies interesting tncmeives in
Jcglslatien regulating the habits, faith
ana merais or tne people, Dut i nave yet
te hear of an organization that is up
lifting the standard of education, and
bringing our system of education up te
date in all respects. In order te accem
plish this we must nbellMi child labor
In this country.

"Moderate Drinking" an Evil
Te tha Editor tht Evcnwj I iMl Lrilctr
Sir I feel like raving something
that won't come within bounds of tbv
English language. I have no use for
a ''temperate mnn." Either get drunk
In the ditch once n week regular or be a
total abstainer. Ge te the dogs alone
instead of dragging scores behind you.
Get en one side of the fence or the
ether. Be a mnn, n meustt or a long
tail rat. Te drink one drink a day the
week through is drinking first as much
as the fellow who takes seven en Satur
day and his influence n thousand times
worse. Te commit any sin or crime mod
erately makes the thing no less. Xe
great stunt nnvway te be temperate,
cither for a wise man or a feel. It
makes me tired.
I have worked my head off twenty
two years cleaning, sweeping, digging,
firenching, lecturing, howling, pound -ng,
hoping some day te get cleaned up,
but as fast ns I could ply the broom
somebody would be shoveling dirt under
my nose by the carload instead of help
ing te clean out the old filth and rub
bish of 300 years' accumulation. What
has been accomplished since the year
11)10 is nothing mere or less than
a miracle nnd still the dirt flies.
J. H. C. says he never drank him
self, but he seem te want ethers te
drink it. Seme people seem possessed
with the devil te want te back up
crime by law, which .means te break
Ged's laws. His laws are net te
license crime in any form.
It makes very llttle difference te
thinking people, .but there are se few
comparatively who de their own think
ing, we regret the influence. If people
would only distinguish between purity
and rottenness there might be hopes.

Sees Hardship In Daylight Saving
Te the Edltir af tht Evtnina TubMc Ltdetr'
Sir The advocates of daylight sav
ing say that it benefits everybody. I
would like te say I am one that it
hurts: I have been reduced $15 a week
with prospects of being out of work
altogether. New, I am a working man
and a taxpayer. I pretest against this
law that makes a tax every summer of
800 en me and thousands of ether.
Ninety out of a hundred people you
meet arc against It. Why force it en
us? The following solution will solve
the daylight foolishness and net work
any hardship en any one.
President Harding has solved the
daylight-saving problem. His solution
is a "novel one." The clocks are net
turned forward, yet an hour is gained
in the afternoon. The President simply
suggests that everybody get up an hour
earlier, go te work an hour earlier and
quit work an hour earlier. Hew sim
ple, yet hew remarkable for the Presi
dent te conceive such an easy solution
te se complex a question.
President Harding is n newspaper
man who happened te become President.
Evidently there are some newspapermen
In Philadelphia who will never be Pres
ident, because they could net think of
such a novel way of saving daylight;
couldn't think of anything but moving
the hands of the clocks ahead.
Se in Washington the Government
depnrtments, the banks and stores will
open at 8 o'clock Instead of 0, and
cltxe nn hour earlier than formerly,
whlle here in Phllndelphin the news
papers will still be congratulating them
selves that they succeeded in putting
ever a menkeying with the clock
scheme, even if it does mix things up.

Business In 'Geed Old Colony Timet'
Tv the Editor of tht Evrnhm Public l.idttfr.
Sir The following may be of in
terest te your readers In connection
with the present reception being gUen
te the firms mere than n century old
by the Chamber of Commerce :
In 1037 the first party of Swedes
under Captain Minuet arrived and set
tled in I'ennsylvnnin, Among tnem wns
Ulaus Jansen (Jehnsen), who breugnt
ever with him a still, as wns uwial in
thete dajH. He took up a piece of land
extending from Percuslng Creek te the
Ncshiimltiy Creek, and ut the lower
falls near Flushing built himself n cabin
which he called a hotel end set up the
still. Being the lowest pessible passage
of the creek, it seen was quite a stop step
ping place for all people going north
of thnt creek. That leg cabin was
standing le the recollection of the
writer, who is one of the descendants
of the above Claws Jansen, and was
occupied until tern down for addition
te inter addition te the building by
OinrleH Uuulels, and nftcrwnrd b his
son-in-law, who is ttill it resident of
Bristel.
Later, when whisky became taxable,
It wns moved an back In the weeds
nlxnn Neshamlnv Falls, nnd wns used
even as late ns the time of my mother.
It was tinnlly dismantled b. the late
Fiancia Temlinsnn. who was a geed
Quaker, and owned the property te
within the time of tht present genera
tien, thus clearly establishing the fact
that Un above neighborhood, at well at
Bucks County, had the first buslneM
operation in Pennsylvania.

A Ptaslmiitlc View
re the Editor of tht Evening fublU Ltdgtrl
Sir Why can't the people put a man
In office, say a Governer or President
or Congressman, who will net let the
money class rule him. As we knew,
every man that is elected te office is
put there by the laboring man's vote,
but still the money shall rule him.
There is no use of voting if the man
we put In cannot be en one side as
well as the ether. Might as well get
a man out of the asylum and set him
In the chair and let money tell him
what te de. We would be just as well
off. E. HUITT.

THE NEW BONNET
A foolish little maiden beucht a foolish little
bonnet.
With a ribbon and a feather and a bit of lace
upon It;
And that the ether maidens of the little town
mtxht knew It.
She theiuht she'd se te meeting- the n-jct
Sunday lust te show It.
But though the llttle bonnet was scarce
larger than a dime.
The getting- of It settled reti te be a work
of time:
Se when 'twas fairly tld all the belle had
stepped their ringing-.
And when she came te meeting, sure enough,
the folks were slnglns.
Se this foolish little maid steed and waited
at tha deer.
l
And she shook her ruffles out behind and
smoothed them down before.
"Ilallelulnl HalMutal" sang Die choir abevs

"Hardly Itmw you I Hardly knew you I" wire
the words she thought they said.
This made the little maiden feet se very,
very cress
That she gave her little mouth a twist, her
little head a toss,
Fer aha thought the ry hymn they sant was
all about her bonnet,
With the ribbon and the feather and the
bit of lace upon It.
And ahe would net wait te listen te the ser
mon or the piayer,
Hut pattered down the silent street nnd
hurried up the stair.
Till she reached her little bureau and In a
bandbox en It
Had hidden safe from critic's eys her foolish
little bonnet.
Which prevrs, my little maidens, that each

In every Sabbath servlce but an echo of

And that little head thit'e filled with silly
little airs
Will never ret a blessing from sermons or
from prayers.
