EDI TORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS It is not any theory about God, even the best, that makes life worth living. It is God Himself; the order of His universe; His mornings and evenings; His sunshine and His stars; His springtime resurrection; His human love; His little children. Because God is, life is worth living.—John W. Chadwick. CHILD LABOR MAY GO BY BOARD SOON Agitation in behalf on an amendment to the United States Constitution prohibiting employment of child labor is proceeding throughout the country, and finds its echo in Congress. The Judiciary Committee of the Senate is considering a proposed constitutional amendment. Senator Shortridge of California is presenting a form of amendment, the first section of which provides that "the Congress shall have power to prohibit the labor of persons under the age of 18 years and to prescribe the conditions of such labor." A second section makes provision that "the power of the several states is unimpaired by this article, except that the operation of state laws shall be suspended to the extent necessary to give effect to legislation enacted by the Congress." In some form, this evil of employment of children of tender years should be attacked and worsted. Because of adverse opinions by the United States Supreme Court it seems to be necessary to make the inhibition of child labor dependent upon a constitutional amendment. It is to be hoped that an acceptable amendment soon may be presented to the states for ratification. COUNTY POOR HOMES AND ORPHANAGES FLAYED Poor farms and orphanages throughout the country are denounced unsparingly by James J. Davis, United States secretary of labor.

Davis, United States secretary of labor. Conditions in these institutions he terms "reducing and a scandal to the nation." The Federal Department of Labor is conducting a survey which reveals that county charitable institutions in this country are "a century behind the times; are monuments of waste; and places of filth, cruel humanity and horror." Children are born in these places, he said, "to a heritage of misery." Huge sums are wasted annually in conducting 100 poor farms for 100 counties in one state. Secretary Davis went on to say that concentration in the care of the aged, orphans and indigent would bring happiness to these unfortunate. The present archaic system is as bad as the workhouses exposed by Charles Dickens in England years ago—or even worse. Unspeakable suffering has been disclosed. An overseer performing an operation for gangrene with a hacksaw is one of the horrors thus far revealed. This surely should move to action those who are striving for humane reforms. No specific charge is made that these horrible conditions exist in California county poor homes. Should any accusations of this nature be made here, they should be investigated promptly and thoroughly. No such horrors should be tolerated in this state. The indigent and aged helpless constitute a sacred charge. They are wards of the public and should be cared for tenderly and considerately.

When a man goes broke, the at the filling station is last discover it. The law assumes that a man is necent until it is demonstrated he is broke. Nothing in this world is certain but the intentions of a widower does a coursing. The most annoying thing about weather is to have some old or tell how cold it used to be, conscience is the thing that makes you when meanness falls by the expected profit. There is no lack of humor in a full of young sheeks wearing 13 collars and 16-hair mususions. Another street improvement needed is the elimination of kids on Easy street. Normal husband is one who he is about all any woman right to expect. Village is a place where attice consists in having a girl clean up the house on Saturtoo darned bad that GenButler didn't live away back and get a crack at Sodom. ABE MARTIN VALENTINE What gits us is why a feller that's married, an' all set, an' got everthing, wants t' spend so much time tryin't' hide a bald spot. A woman may forgit, but it don't take her no time t' remember if you git her ruffled. SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. K. THOMSON There's no blood in a turnip, But you never can tell.

When optimistic patients meet optimistic doctors maladies vanish. He read the wrapper—convicting diiction. Here was a "cure" for his affliction: Though for him 'twas not intended. It was the dope they recommended. Funny world: Some folks think they're sick when they're not, others think they're not, wher they are. MAKES FAT PEOPLE S New York Physician P. Harmless Method Reducing Weight The loss of as much as a of excess fat a day wiharmful results is the made by many patients of Newman, a licensed praphysician of 286 Fifth A. New York, who announced he has perfected a tree which has quickly rid fatf of excess weight. What i remainable is the Doctor's ment that he has succetreated thousands of pattiefat reduction without chadict or unnecessary exerciis also said that fat people suffer from chronic rheumgout, asthma and highpressure obtain great relief the reduction of their superflesh. Realizing that this almost too good to be true, Doctor has offered to send out charge to anyone who write him, a free trial tree. WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS DR. WILLIAM M. BROWN Dr. William Montgomery Brown, former bishop of Arkansas, who faces trial on the charge of heresy before dignitaries of the Episcopal church, was once tried on the same charge but the trial ended without definite action toward excommunicating him. He resigned as bishop in 1912 on account of ill health and has figured since chiefly as the author of "Christ and Communism." It is upon statements in this book that the heresy charges were filed against him. The former bishop is now 79 years old. He was born near Orville, Wayne county, O., His education was obtained at Seabury Hall, Fairbault, Minn., and at Gambler, O. He was given the degree of doctor of divinity in 1838 by Kenyon College, and again in the following year by the University of the South. His ministerial career was begun at Gallon, O., in 1883. In 1891 he became general missionary and archdeacon of the diocese of Ohio. He went to Arkansas in 1898 as bishop condutor and in 1900 was consecrated bishop. Before he wrote "Christ and Communism," three books had appeared under his name, "The Church for Americans," "The Crucial Race Question" and "The Level Plan for Church Union." After his resignation as bishop he returned to Gallon, O., to live, and he still resides there. We often get out of a bottle what we can't get out of our heads.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying EARLY PIETY By cool Siloam's shady rill How sweet the illly grows! How sweet the breath beneath the hill Of Sharon's dewy rose! Lo! such the child whose early feet The paths of peace have trod! Whose secret heart with influence sweet, Is upward drawn to God. By cool Siloam's shady rill The lily must decay; The rose that blooms beneath the hill Must shortly fade away; And soon, too soon, the wintry hour Of man's maturer age Will shake the soul with sorrow's power And stormy passion's roge. Thou, whose infant feet were found Within Thy Father's shrine, Whose years with changeless virtue crowned Were all alike divine, Dependent on Thy bountiful breath, We seek Thy grace alone, in childhood, manhood age, and death To keep us still Thine own. NEER SOMETHING FOR NOTHING—Venture Press The New York World, discussing the $500,000,000-gold brick which the guilible part of the public bought for itself in 1923, explains the motive back of this weakness for take investments in a way that ought to help some potential victims to escape the fate they have been approaching. Says the World: "The desire of the human race is to get something for nothing, to get rich quick, to win a place among the sheet who do not have to work. By some sleight-of-hand applied to finance." Different persons seek to do this in different ways. Some explain the World, plek pocket; some rob banks, second stories and railroads; some lie back and dream in the fashion of the story-teller who invented the Arabian Night; some print fake stock and sell it; some buy this fake stock in the hope of banana returns. Probably very few of the shorn sheep who have lost their savings in some such way would care to be classed along with bank robbers and fake promoters. They do not deserve to be called criminals. They may not even be fundamentally lawful. But certainly they have let themselves be led astray by the same false remapping which leads the robber and plek pocket to seek financial reward without constructive service of any sort and without honestly earning it.

They are running lists of English terms and their American equivalents. Here is one of them: Dast bin, Caste of drawers. Pararrita, Bluestit, Friendship societies. Ash can, Borneah, Coal oil, Oreaker, Praternal order. Thou, whose infant feet were found Within Thy Father's shrine, Whose years with changeless virtue crowned Were all alike divine, Dependent on Thy bountiful breath, We seek Thy grace alone, In childhood, manhood age and death To keep us still Thine own. —Reginald Heber BLINST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS Most be the tie that binds Our hearts in Jesus' love; The fellowship of Christian minds Is like to that above. Before our Father's throne We pour united prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our sins, are one. Our comforts and our care. We share our mutual woe. With mutual burdens bear, and often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. When we at death must part. Not like the world's our pain; But one in Christ, and one in heart; We part to meet again. From sorrow, toll, and pain; And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign. Throughout eternity. —John Fawcott. LAKES FAT PEOPLE SLIM New York Physician Perfects Harmless Method of Reducing Weight The loss of as much as a pound excess fat a day with no harmful results is the record made by many patients of Dr. R. Newman, a licensed practicing physician of 286 Fifth Avenue, New York, who announces that he has perfected a treatment which has quickly rid fat people excess weight. What is more remarkable is the Doctors' statement that he has successfully created thousands of patients for reduction without change of not or unnecessary exercise. It also said that fat people who suffer from chronic rheumatism, asthma and high blood pressure obtain great relief from the reduction of their superfluous flesh. Realizing that this sounds almost too good to be true, the doctor has offered to send with it charge to anyone who will write him, a free trial treatment.

BALT AND PEPPER Different men are the most popular with women and different most adoredful. A man cannot be in love and feel sensible at the same time. A popular person must know a lot of dull people. No matter how many people you know, most of them aren't worth knowing. Most men are more particular about buying a hat than selecting a wife. Men judge other men by the women they see them with. ADD 400 PER CENT AMERICANISM Ground hogs are reliable weather prognosticators.
