Orel on Aa Independent Newapaper Published aver? erenlng except Sunday Telephone 81; DCWl el CliOUUE PUTNAM, Editor and Publiaher Destructive of Democracy Walter Pierce never shed so many tears over the sad fate in prospect for his white faced calves as the Portland Journal and other organs of the uplift are weeping over the mournful destiny of 18 year old children they would rescue from honest toil and useful occupation and free from cruel exploitation by hard-headed parents and rapacious employers, by placing them under the sheltering wing of the congressional mother to supervise their welfare, with an army of snoopers at tax payers expense. Daily we are regaled with pitiful pleas in behalf of youth, bo they may have more leisure for jazz, movies and joyriding. To be sure we have our own child-labor laws and so do most other states but it is the fashionable way to surrender our few remaining personal and state rights to a centralized bureaucracy to administer at long range with red tape regulations. It is part and parcel of the uplift system of minding other peoples business and regulating other peoples affairs. Of all the paternalistic measures ever submitted to the legislatures this so-called child labor law is the most vicious because under the pretense of altruism, it will contribute materially to the destruction of the ideals the Constitution was drafted to perpetuate and to the establishment of the socialistic state. It insures insolent, prcmptory and auto cratic interference with inherent rights. A vote for it is admission that we are no longer capable of self-government out like subject peoples, leave our personal affairs to be run in accordance with the dictates of a centralized state. "Free government rests upon local self-government, and every known form of despotism, whether the despot be an individual, a class, a group or a majority, takes its rise in denying or restricting local self-government. There are many and subtle ways of bringing about this denial or restriction,' lays Nicholas Murray Butler, and one of the surest of these ways to establish this despotism, is by giving congress "the power to limit, regulate and prohibit the labor of persons under 18 years of ago." In a recent senate debate Senator Bruce, of Maryland, said that the child labor amendment was the real test of a Democrat, and that any one who favored such an abrogation of personal and state rights opposed every principle the Democratic jmrty was created to maintain. He might have gone further and made it, which it is, the real test of a democrat, spelled with a small d, for it is destructive of democracy. ' The Hunting Graft One of the paternalistic grafts that congress might profit ably cut out, is that of employing professional hunters to shoot wild animals, in a nation of hunters, where over a million sportsmen buy hunting licenses annually. For three centuries Americans conquered Indians and wilderness and did their own hunting, but now, when game of all kinds is becoming scarce, it is necessary for the federal government to come to the rescue. - The hunting is done under the bureau of Biological Survey ar.:l the animals specifically mentioned to chase, catch and destroy are "mountain lions, wolves, coyotes, bolt-cats, prairie dogs, gophers, ground squirrels and jack rabbits." The fewer animals there are left, of course the more money it takes to catch them. In 101.1 the appropriation was only $13,000. In 191G it was $280,000. In 1910, it was $:!!)5,000. In 1921 it was $-l.rtO,000. In 1921 it was $508,000. This year it is $533,000. That is the way with all public expenditures they mount yearly, once established. Pioneers who settled the country, did their own hunting and exterminated their own squirrels and prairie dogs and other "varmint," and received no bounty, either. And there were a hundred times as many. Now, in these days of help less paternalism, it is necessary for the government to do it for them and 250 tax-eaters are on the job, while the slates and counties put up millions in bonuses for unofficial hunters in the form of bounties. The absurd part of the proceedure is that while the gov ernment is exterminating animals in some sections, it is ex pending huge sums of money in creating game preserves in other regions, and rearing game for hunters to shoot thus by its operations saving ranchers the trouble of exterminating tests and at the same time furnishing sport for hunters taking care of both peoples business and their pleasure.

Kven a woman who seen the sweepln the stepd asked mo if 1'tl seen her hat Ain't that sHly wld o many people walktn' by to aa me If I'd seen her hat. I done tol' her I wasn't a-thlnkin' of hats when my young m us trews waa a-dylu' at the horspital. "An what you think, aliatah Starmount, when I tol' her 1 waun't thinkln' about no hats, the jea sat down on the stepa qulck hko and she savs: 'la Miss Leonard aick enough to die? "She's Jea aa good as duld now," I tolls her right back. "She didn't say a word for a minute she was a-coughln' so he couldn't and then she got up and walked off slow-like a-&uylti', to herself, 'I wish 1 could find my hat.' 'l tells you Miatah Starmount 1 felt real sorry for that girl and after she was gone I Jea' went pro lactin' 'round lookln for that hat. I had Jea' give up when down In the basement entrance In a cor nah under the steps I sees a red ribbon on nomethln' gray." Starmount quickly got to his feet. "What was t Mandy? What did yau do with It?" le try In" to tell yuh Mlstah Starmount. When I picks tt up I finds its a gray hat with a red rib bon on It. But It waa all rutnt. jea' plain rulnt. I knew the lady couldn't wear It no more And I threw It In tho dustbin with the mornln' papers." "Go down and get the hat, Man dy. Perhaps, the girl will come hack and you ran ask her If It's hers. She might not be!ive you if you told her that she could not have worn it aKain." In a few minutes Mandy came .ip with a sodtlrn mess that unce waa a hat. Now. however. It look ed only like a roll of wet, mudiiy wool with a scattered red nubou about it. By lucky chance he found the trade mark inside, and wramrfng the hat carefully in a paper he went away after telling Mandy he waa going to try to see if someone could repair the h it so that if the owner came back she could wear it again. "Would you know the girl again Mandy?" "Well, you see Midtah Starmount I didn't look at her vwry much. I knows she had on a red coat." "Did she have black or blue eyes ' "Vesuith." "What do yju mean? She couldn't have both black and blue eyea, Mandy." "Yes, she could. I'se had many black and blue eyes." "Oh her eyes were discolored. You mean someone had hit her." "Yes sir, that Jea' what I means. Some one had whammed her In de eyo. Tha's why I didn't look at her much. X didn't want to ehamc her." "Were they both black and blue, Mandy ?" "No, suh. Only one." "Whicn one, Mandy?" "I Jes' can't persactly tell. Vlt a minute Mlstah Starmount." Man dy went out on the stepa. Star mount followed with a puzzled ex pression. There he found Mandy looking down at some object. AfUr gaz ing down for an Instant she wad dled down tho steps and turning lookup up, covering first one eye and then tho other. "I don't know which It was Mls tah SiavmDunt. 1 can't peiu'.Iy tell." "Well, It doesn't mnke any dif ference anyway," Starmount did not want to act in too Interested. At the hat store where "he went Immediately, they informed him that the hat was probably bought sums time ago at their store.. "It is a model of a year ago, which did not sell very well and we re duceJ it at the end of the season. We never sent many of them out wholesale. This year we are not putting out thla model." "T7ie girl i hard-up," Dick said to himself. "Wo did not sell that hat with a red ribbon," said the clerk aa he .showed where it had been put over a gray one. Although. Starmount did not think much of the hat as a real clue his lawyer "a mind made him understand that If Rod or Kath lyn ever came up for trial the in cident of the hat told In Mandy's picturesque language would be likely to befuddle the Jury so that I hey would not render a veidict on circumstantial evidence alone. Starmount drove directly to the hospital and found the doctor com iriff down the steps. He was very ansry. "You cannot go in Mr. Star mount. I have given word not even you are to see Miss Leonard. "Ju3t a few momenta ago a de tail of police came here with all the devices for taking finger prints and had I not been there they would have probably gotten into Miss Leonard's room and retarded her chanca of recovery. "They Insisted that her finger prints had a bearing of immense importance as to the murder of Mr. I'osa and they said they must take them and threatened me with the law." "Did you let them?" Starmount asked quickly. "I did not. I said to them, 'if you were the prosecuting attorney himself I should not let you go in to my patient, and furthermore, listen to me, while Mina Leonard's temperature and pulse remain where they are, no one shall see her, no one shall talk to her, save myself, her nurse and her hus band."
