Federal Child labor Bureau.
The senate has passed the Borah
bill creating a child labor bureau as
an adjunct to the Department or
Commerce and Labor and only sev
enteen votes were cast against the
bill in the upper house of congress.
Many of these vote came from
southern member, who were actua
ted, no doubt, by that Jealous regard
for the extensive privilege of the
cotton mill to employ children, re
gardless of child welfare.
The largest and best Interest and
humanity and industry, we are sure,
will be satisfied and benefited by
such a law. The measure had a
hard time getting through the sen
ate. It was subjected to the most
critical test of debate, with such
men aa Senator Bailey throwing all
their power against It, but, on the
other band, it was up ported by
trong and unselfish Interest, even
out of congress entirely. Interests
that bad bo other motive than to
serve the welfare of children and
thus of humanity.
So far as. that 1 concerned, why
should the government maintain a
well ordered and administered De
partment of Commerce and Labor
for adult and utterly Ignore the
child, compelled to toll for a lived
hood? Can a great paternal nation
eongistently do that? This one will
not Of course, the southerners who
fought the bill did so on strategic
lines. Tliey resorted to their custo
mary subterfuge of (tales' rights
This tate' right la a sacred thing
when some selfish Interest can be
ubserved by holding It up as a but
fer, but as matter of fact, no state's
rights are In the (lightest Jeopardy
by such a measure as this By what
process of specious reasoning do our
friends conclude that the federal
government, which exercise a pater
nal direction over every branch of
Industry and every adult engaged In
Industry. I restrained from exercis
ing the same authority over children
who happen to be working In (hop
and factories?
But tbo provision of this bill are
broader than merely this, that they
regulate working condition!; It
seek to protect the child In other
tphere and contemplates It welfare
by various methods, looking out for
better system In mortality statistics
and tb Ilk. Wisely dmlnlterd,
such a law would b of great value.

The Each-Hughe bill levying a
prohibitive tax upon whit or yellow
phosphorus matches, which practi
cally means their extinction com
mercially, ha now passed both house
and senate. The chief opposition
came from member representing

manufactured and, their pleas were
that the law would Interfere with

cal ground. It appear, can always
be found for any measure when op

sult of making and using these

the government should not allow to

Of course. It I too bad that those

Eodg-en' Death.
The king ot American aviator has
gone the way of 116 other mora or
lea eminent airmen. HI death
seem to have resulted largely from
that peculiar daring which apparent
success in the art of Tying breed In
them all.
Probably as long aa Calbraith P.
Rodger observed the known princi
ple of the science and kept as far as
possible within the limit of prudent
experiment he might have continued
In aviation. Hi machine aeeui to
bar been in excellent repair, his
physical condition was good, he waa
not affected by the ethereal asphyxia
or aerial somnlpathy, to which he at
tributed most deaths of his fellow
aviators. But, according to his com
panion, who bad made a flight with
him a Uttla while before he mot h'l
death, Rodger waa becoming very
careless; hi exploit were making
him daring aad he took chance with
the Incooquerable, incorrigible force
of nature and they, resenting the fa
miliarity, revolted atnd hi death
ensued.
It stand to reason that Rodger
encountered far more aaj greater
perils In bis continental flight last
ear than be met In aimrly soaring
over the calm Pacific not more than
200 feet in th air, but Rolgera was
ever alert for danger whet flying
from the Atlantic to the Pacific; he
was on his guard, doing his best dem
onstrating th possibilities of aerial
navigation. At Long Reach be chal
lenged the air, he flirted with th
element, he laughed at nature.
But what doea It all show, that
aviation will some day i .reduced
to practical utility? Well, so long
aa the man, the machine and the con
ditions of the elements ha-e been
perfectly propitious, a little success
ha been achieved, but the least tilt
on way or the other in the balance
of any of these and all Is lost.
Utilitarian aviation seems still In
th future.
Good Ken for Commissioner IV.
W. O. 6hrtver.
Among republican filed for coun
cilman under Omaha's new plan of
city government, the name of W. 0.
Shrlver will commend Itself to a
large number of people of all classes.
Mr. Shrlver is an old-time resident
of Omaha with experience in pnhlic
life, as well as private business. He
served In th council some year
ago, and ia now Just rounding out a
term aa county assessor, to which
office he was elected five years ago,
having been held over an extra year
by legislative enactment changing
the law.. Mr. Shrlver volunteered a
one of the plaintiffs In the famous
tax auit. fought through the court
by the Real Estate exchange to
raise the grossly undervalued assess
ments ot tb franchlaed corpora
tions, and to put an end to their
evasion of taxes to the cost ot the
mall taxpayer and home-owners. A
county assessor Mr. Shrlver has been
carefully performing hi official
dutlea with a view to giving the tax
payer a iquare deal a near aa may
be under tb law, and with a reason
able measure of success. The same
intelligence, ability and industry ap
plied to the affairs of the city would
make Mr. Shrlver a good man for
commissioner.
Unappreciative.
In a letter transmitting his version
of the democratic squabble with re
quest for space for It publication,
Mr. Bryan repeat a complaint which
he ahould be the last to utter. He
say:
Many of our daily paper are so under
the Influence o( tsvor-seeklng corpora
tions that they ar not only against th
eeople editorially, but their news columns
ar colored In favor ot th predatory In
terests to whkh they are subservient
Of course, the motive back ot thl
gauxy charge Is quit transparent
being a notion that by pretending
that other avenue of publicity ar
cloaed, the Inherent spirit of fairness
of every newspaper man will open Its
doors to him.
As a matter ot fact, however, no
on know better than Mr. Bryan
that there I nothing whatever to this
pretense, a column upon column of
free vent to hi view by newspapers
on which he has no claim whatever
conclusively proves. The newspaper
have made Mr. Bryan politically and
financially, and all he Is doing now
1 to cash In on the free advertising
be has had In both new and edi
torial column. H has himself more
than once publicly testified to the
falrnesa and liberality of the news
paper, and the daily newspaper. In
particular, la enabling him to reach
through their column million where
hi voice reaches only hundred. In
stead of misrepresenting and abusing
th newspapers, Mr. Bryan ought to
lose no opportunity to pay them
tribute and give them thank.
Our amiable democratic contem
porary wanta to know what would
happen to th primary law If all the
candidates for convention delegate
announced that they would carry out
presidential preference Instruction
only if they accorded with their own
view. Tb question answer Itself.
But what we would like to know Is,
wkat the democrat would be laying
if some of the' republican candidate
for convention delegate took the
position that the primary vote was
not binding only If It went their
wayt ,
The funniest ot all la th explana
tion of the Roosevelt booster trying
to ride into office on the colonel'
coat-tails, that the spontaneous pop
ular nprlalng for the third-term can
didal was originated, created and
engineered by Taft supporter. On
that theory then there never waa no
spontaneous uprising nor popular de
mand. Still, Mr. Gruenther, some of the
$13,000, which you admit you han
dled for Bryan In 1108, waa con
tributed and raised by brewers and
liquor dealer, and so appeared In
an Itemised atatement of account, aa
yon will doubtless remember.
In b letter be Is sending broadcast
to Nebraska voter. Congressman
Norria declare that la relinquishing
hi place In the house, and seeking
th aenatorihlp, he I entering a bat

death." Ia it a swan ong?
And bow Chris Gruenther dcnle
the allegation of th brewery lawyer

Reader of this Journal are aware that
from th beginning of the year we have
held fast to the opinion that Roosevelt
would unwittingly solidify the great body
of republicans behind Taft, and so make
the president a formidable candidate at
th polls. Democrat who were disposed
to make light of our warning to that ef
fect uttered month ago will hardly deny
that thl anticipation 1 now being real
ised. Roosevelt' extreme proposals
have served only to draw attention
to tb good rather than the VI of the
Taft admlnUtratloa. and to make for a
contrast in republican mind which has
Inured greatly to th president's benefit.
Roosevelt ha don what Taft himself
waa powerless to da He ha scotched
th Insurgent movement by discrediting
It He ha driven back Into the ranks
fully a million of the dissatisfied re
publicans who bad nearly. It not quite,
reached the conclusion that a party de
feat would have a salutary effect. By
snatching tha "progressive" banner from
La Follett and bearing it far Into the
oamp of the rankest populism he has ren
dered nugatory tb efforts of th men
Ilk Cummins to upset th old order and
re-established tb republican party upon a
broader and fairer basis Th line are
already being drawn as tightly as ever
tbey wars around the great body of re
publican voters, and the party will enter
the campaign with old-time determination
to win upon tha principles, backed by
potent financial aid. which so many times
have been condemned In June, only to be
approved In November.
That Roosevelt will continue to do all
In his power to revive th old break with
in the party or to make a new ruction
must be taken for granted. Indeed, It is
mora than possible that, as time goes
on and hla effort to regain the assist,
ac of former friend prove unavailing,
leaving as hi corporal' guard only the
few disgruntled and mainly discredited
politicians who now surround him, h
will resort te measures yet more desper
ate. If such h can imagine. His sol
purpose, as we hav pointed out per
sistently, and a people now, w sur
mise, are begnnlng to believe, is not to
engage himself la a losing battle, but
te beat Taft that and nothing else. Al
ready hi mouthpieces ar beginning to
dwell significantly upon th Irreconcila
bility of tb Taft and Roosevelt forces,
and te bint at th desirability of select
ing a "compromise" candidate, upon
whom all can unite.
But they raehoa without their host
President Taft Is fully oogrdxant of both
th scheming and th Intent, and cannot
be frightened Into th doing ot an act
of self-repudiation. He has made It per
fectly clear, moreover, that this Is not
his fight. Not he personally, but the
established usage of his party In accord
ing a president a second term. Is under
guerrilla fire. Hi own record must
stand for what tt Is, and his sole obliga
tion In th premise la to see to it that
th record Itself ha not misrepresented.
This he t doing and doing well. It re
mains only for th republican party to
decide whether President Tatt'a perfor
mance has been so wretched as to make It
necessary to assume th tremendous risk
of smashing a party custom which hither
to bas bean considered Inviolable.
Th outcome, of courae, I certain. Mr.
Taft will be renominated easily and
promptly, and, standing upon th plat
form outlined in hla masterful Toledo
speech, will become a formidable candi
date. Thl doe not mean that th democrats
hav been or ar likely to be deprived of
th opportunity which last year seemed
so fair. It simply emphasise th need of
hearkening to th dictates of wisdom and
ot prudence. At the present writing. It
I gratifying te observe they are heeding
most advantageously our thoughtful ad
monition to let the other fellows do the
squabbling. The various candidate ire
as polite to one another as democrats
can be aspect ed to be, Mr. Underwood
la guiding tha house majority safely be
tween th rocks, th various governors,
aa a whole, ar attending to their busi
ness and even Brother Bryan I beginning
te radial th glow af a conciliatory
spirit.
atverybody will get mad, af coarse, after
a while. Tbey would t ha democrats if
they didn't But thing look pretty good
now. So our advice ta the democrat of
th various states Is to send to Baltimore
uninatructrd delasmtlons, comprising their
strongest and wisest men, capable of
meeting tb attuatioa which will then
confront them with foresight and aa-
gtty.

Chicago News: No oae can even esti

the marriage ot the unfit. Therefore th
determination of Dean Sumner and hi
coadjutors at the Episocopal Cathedral
of St. Peter and St. Paul not to perform
th marriage ceremony for persons who
cannot prove their physical and mental
fitness will be regarded by most thought
ful persona as in accord with sound prin
ciples based upon social needs.
Philadelphia Press: Both state and
church have come more and more to In
terfere in matters of matrimony so far
as law and morals are concerned, and no
one questions either their right or their
duty to do so. Dean Sumner and Bishop
Anderson have simply pointed out an
equally Important right and duty: that
of preventing so far as It Is humanly
possible the spread of physical no lea:
than moral corruption. From this small
beginning may well develop what will
prove to be one of the greatest blessing
to mankind.
Brooklyn Eagle: It will be almost as

He wants physical examinations, but does
not Insist on mental examinations De
fectlve mental traits are admittedly
transmissible, and so may be deemed

THE OPTIMIST.
Zella Slater Bissell in Woman's World.
Is your lot In life a hard onedo you toll
for others' gain?
Ease and luxury denied you feeling all
privation's pain?
Shall I. therefore, whine and sniffle rage
in bitterness of mind?
Nay. my friend, with courage lofty, I
will strive to be resigned.
Knowing poverty's a blessing, fat Is kind
when she denies.
I can bravely, almost cheerfully, devote
you
Ta the life of sacrifice. '
Ha the girl you loved to madness turned
on you her chilly frown?
Has she scorned your humble wooing, or,
in plsln words, turned you down?
I will not In weak dejection pine about
your broken heart.
But with philosophic calmness view this
matter tor my pert.
And I cheer myself by thinking and my
With the sane and rational reflection
She wa not the girl for you.
I am not a saint or hero, nor on hard
ship do I dote;
In this world of toll and trouble there are
things that get my goat.
There are times I kick and grumble:
oftlmee I feel quite peeved.
When of some dear hope or project most
unkindly I'm bereaved.
But I think among my virtues this I
safely mav include:
I bear the other fellow's troubles
With most Christian fortitude.
