"Flag of the free heart's hope and

By Angels' hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in
Heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls be

With Freedom's soil be'neath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming

Child labor as employed in the sweatshops is a dis
grace. It demoralizes and degrades the social fabric of
the nation. The future generations, if strong physically,
mentally and morally must be borne by the parents of
proper physical mental and moral development
This development comes not with the toil of children in
the factories, mines and other exacting, confining indust
ries where they are generally employed.
In view of the evil effect of child labor on the children
of today, the parents of tomorrow and generations of the
future, child labor laws were passed tending to prohibit
the same.
Among these laws was one forbidding transportation
of the products of child labor through .interstate commerce
and another placing a prohibition tax on the products of
child labor. ' '
These laws protecting the children, were not liked by
the great cotton mills and other big manufacturing inter
ests of the South and East where the dwarfing of youth
would result in enriching the rich and so the law's were
attacked and the supreme court of the United States de
clared them unconstitutional.
More specifically, these were the laws declared un
constitutional: that neither mines nor quarries could em
ploy children under 16 years of age; neither factory, mill
nor' cannery could employ children under 14 years of age;
and no child could be employed more than eight hours a
day or at night. - '
It is a pity that the highest court in the land, can find
ways to sustain laws regulating directly and indirectly
every other phase of interstate commerce law, and yet
when human beings are pitted against dollars the law is
inadequate so far as to protect the former. The demand of
the hour is for congress to enact some law which will place
a higher value on the health and citizenship of the future
generations than upon dollars.

PREPARING OUR CHILDREN
CITIZENSHIP
Jail sentences are being presented to booze makers in
Judge Noble s court, and in this progressive and courage
ous handling of these law defying makers of narcotic poi
sons which is in comparison a disgrace usually to bed bug
juice, Judge Noble sets a worthy pace for other occupants
ol the bench.
Continuous jolts to boozer woozers who defy the law
by running moonshine outfits in inaccessible places and
act the part of parasites waxing fat their pocket books, as
a result oi the weakness of others, will snnn nn Cmfkamas
ountywaf them. The pity is that there is not added to the

county roads. ,
. A suggestion well worth investigation is for arrange
ment whereby habitual law breakers including regular
booze vendors be furnished employment at Kelly Butte
where they can earn their board and the necessities for
those, if any, dependent upon them.
If the law doesn't allow such arrangement, then let
there be passed such a law in the interest of obedience to
law and for progressive economy. , .

Our children ar given regular in
struction in citizenship in school, but
the best that can be done for them !
there will not alone give' them the
urge toward helpful service in the J
community that they might have with
the thoughtful co-operation of ' their
parents. The (talks, songs and page
ants of school have served to widen
their vision and strengthen their grasp j
of. the dramatic events of the past.
Fathers and mothers can help them to
express their appreciation of the time '
and country in which they live in-
terms of everyday service. To teach
them that they have an important part
in keeping a happy, well-ordered home
and that the atmosphere of a commun
ity is. the atmosphere of its homes, is
to lay a foundation for substantial citi
zenship later. To add to this a sense
of responsibility toward a younger
child in one's own family or a friend's
or toward! animal pets, is at least to
start tfie habit of considering the in
terests of others. Just to keep empha
sizing these two points day after day
so that ithey become a part of the chil
dren's lives is no small task in itself.
However eager a young person may
be to serve his community, his impulse
will be dissipated or accomplish harm
rather than good unless his efforts are
intelligent; In Maud Lindsay's tale of
"The Giant Energy and the Fairy
Skill"- (Milton Bradley Co., Spring
field, Mass., an effective store to read
to children from five, to ten) the fairy
teaches the eager, clumsy giant, to so
direct his boisterous impulse too serve,
that after days of patient effort he is
welcomed as a helper instead of being
merely tolerated by those generous
enough to overlook his carelessness.
A ten-year-old who was crocheting a
gift for her grandmother remarked,
"Even if it isn't done well Grandmoth
er will like it because it's my work."
How much more wholesome for the lit
tle girl it. would have been if someone
FOR ad insisted on the charm of offering
j a neatly madegift, that Grandmother's
'pleasure need not be marred by apolo
gies. Organizations are too often
hindered by the well-mea,ning but un
skilled volunteer 'worker. -The com
munity life of the future will be enrich
ed by every child who has learned to
take pleasure in careful, finished
work.
"We require from buildings as from
.men," writes Ruskin in "Stones of
Venice" "two kinds of goodness; first
the doing of their practical duty well,
then that they be, pjdaceful and pleas
n doing it." This is one secret of ac
ceptable service, that the doer shall
find joy in his work rather than seek
all his pleasures as a thing apart. This
we can empnasize to our little citi
zens, showing them as consistently as
possible that we do find joy in duties.
Our children will receive their firm
est foundation in the matter of their
re sponsibility toward the community
from the stress which is laid by happy
example and persistent teaching on the
safe-guarding of the community weir
fare by the right sort of homes. Read
them Mrs. Kate' Douglas Wiggin's
charming story "Mother Carey's Chick
ens" (Dunlap Grosset Company, New
York.) Theirs was a home whose
light could not by any possibility be
hid. Mother Carey gives the keynote
in saying to her children when they
move into the village of Beulah, "We
must make it a home; as beautiful and
complete as We can afford. One real
horn always makes others, I am sure
of that! We cannot be happy," or pros
perous, or useful, or successful, unless
we can contrive to make the Yellow
House a home. The river is our river;
the village is our village; the people
are our neighbors; Beaulah belongs to
us and we belong to Beulah."
The substitution of figures ofwork
Ingmen for crowned heads on the new
postage stamps being issued by the
German government have considerable
political significance, in the opinion of
the Boston News Bureau: They "speak
emphatically for the radical change In
public opinion," and "'argue rather con
vincingly of a continued strengthening
of democratic sentiment" As the Bos
ton daily explains:
The stamps are In three series of
six designs, one having the figure of a
smith, the other a miner, and the third
of a farmer. The first serios. with, a
value of CO pfennig (dark violet) and
80 pfennig (red), show smiths of dif
ferent ages at the anvil; the next In
value 100 pfennig (green) and 120 pfen
nig (ultramarine), show miners with
pick, chisel or handcar; the last in
value 150 pfennig (orange) and 160
pfennig (blue-green), carrying farmers
mowing grain and binding sheaves.
The 120 pfennig stamp will be the
unit for foreign postage. The 60 and
120 pfennig stamps have now been Is
sued. The other stamps wilt not be
Issued Immediately, as the govern
ment has a supply of old stamps to be
exhausted. - .
It is Interesting that the govern
ment takes official cognizance of the
depreciated mark, since the 120 pfen
nig tamp equals 30 cents gold, pre
war parity. That a larger deprecia
tion Is not recognized is undoubtedly
due lb the greater value of the mark
In Germany than outside. -
In any case the stamps are note
worthy as Indicating the passing of
the trowned haad as a symbol of Germany.

Prudent Saving is
a Fine Trait of
Character
u.m
Prudent saving does not signify that
the person who practices it is stingy or
miserly. It means the exercise of good
judgment in buying and management
of funds. Many millions of dollars
could be saved throughout our Country
if this principle were faithfully put to
practice. - '

A LEGISLATIVE DUTY
Woman Was Unduly Alarmed at Grue
some Story Which She Overheard!
in the Street Car.
. A Columbus woman In a trip on an
Llnterurhan car recently sat behind
two women- wno were noiaing an ani
mated conversation, the Indianapolis
News relates. She paid no attention
to the fnl!; until a part of a senteuee
j residied h'er ear, through the noise of
th( C!ir "in an awful fix. with both
lejrsv disjointed." The woman was im-pi-es-ed
with this tale of suffering
and whilP she was considering it an
other bit of the conversation was
wafted to hir ears over the roar of
the wheels "and one foot nearly o!T.''
This was positively distressing, sind
the woman moved uneasily tn her seat,
stretching both vfeet to assure her
self they were In proper condition.
Buzz, buzz, went the voices, and then
"a hand all washed." By this time
the woman was having horrified
visions of a mangled body. "A
wreck," she said to herself, and to
add to her horror the train mnde a
siulden terrible jolt which sent her
heart to her'mouth, figuratively speak
ing. A smooth place in the road en
abled her to hear the last of. the grue
some. tale: "It would cost as much to
send it to a doll hospital as it would
to get a new one, so I'm just going
to buy her a new one."

One of the first duties of the next session of Oregon
legislature will be to enact laws making the increasing
practice of attempted sale of initiative petitions to the
highest bidder a felony punishable by a prison sentence.
The provisions should leave no loop hole thrtiijgh which
those who thus seek to prostitute the initiative, privilege in
order to make easy money may crawl.
The temptation to make a few hundred or a few thous
and dollars without an equivalent amount of service rend
ered is stronger in many men than is the spirit of patriot
ism or civic duty. The graft is aimed generally at organ
izations who will be seriously affected by the proposed act
and hence are the most likely to be "bled". To use the in
itiative for this purpose requires some work, few brains
and a disregard for right and the real benefits of the law.
The initiative is a defense against autocracy. : It is the
voice of freedom in its legitimate Uses. In the hands of
the grafter, the easy money shark and the political para
site it is a dangerous weapon.
The initiative itself must be retained. It must be pro
tected. And to this end the law should provide the sever
est penalty for its abuse.
Holds Blue Ribbon of Atlantic.
The Mauretania is still the greatest
of nil Atlantic flyers, and she still
holds the blue ribbon. She has made
the North Atlantic crossing . (west
bound) In four days, ten hours, 41
minutes, at an average speed of 26.06
knots per hour. During the war she
iiveraged 27.04 knots per hour in a
day's run of 676 knots, and bas also,
for part of a voyage, averaged the
high speed of 27.47 knots. A few days
ago the Cunard liner Aquitania made
the passage in five days, 16 hours and
j 57 minutes, which is the best time
made by any trans-Atlantic steamer
: since the war, while the White Star
j steamer Olympic made the trip in
five days, 18 hours and 18 minutes.
THE GREAT QUESTION
Many issues are forcing their way to the front ab
sorbing public interest in their behalf. The governorship
fight looms big. The public education bill is subject to in
tense discussion everywhere. But the reduction of taxes
is still paramount in importance and must not be lost sight
of either now or in the coming legislative session where
as is already indicated in some quarters there will" be
the same old effort to continue or even add to the burdens
of the state. DOWN with TAXES is still the NEED of the
hour. '

Soprano High "C"
Without "Metallic" Suggestion
A Brunswick Achievement
The severest test of a phonograph is in reproducing
"high notes," especially soprano.
You have noted how most instruments vibrate and
-sound "metallic" when the higher notes are reached.
But come in and hear a soprano record on The Bruns
wick. Note the clear-toned, ringing intensity of the
"high notes." Then you will realize why greatest
musicians have chosen The Brunswick for their own
homes. '
