Eight to Two
The Child Labor Amendment must be ratified by 36 state
legislatures before it can become part of the fundamental
law of the land. It will fail of adoption if 13 of the 48 states
withhold ratification
Legislatures of 42 states will hold sessions this year. To
date 10 r'.-tes have already acted. Of that number but 2,
Arkansas and California have ratified it. The other 8,
Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, South
Carolina, South Dakota and Texas have rejected it, while
popular referendums on the measure were voted for rejection
in Massachusetts and Illinois.
The opposition is not sectional, but national. Agricultural
status are as strongly opposed to it as industrial, the north
as well as the south, the east as well as the west. The
measure will fail because it is destructive of parental and
state rights and makes for the centralized, paternalistic,
socialized state.
This amendment is not a child labor law as popularly
conceived, but is a measure giving to congress the control of
persons under 18 years of age. It reads, in full, as follows:
"Section 1. The Congress shall have power to limit, regulate,
end prohibit the labor of persons under eighteen years ol age.
"Section !. The power of the several States Is unimpaired by
this article, except that the operation of State laws shall be suspended
lo the extent necessary to give effect to legislation enacted by the
Congress."
Under it, congress could enact any law it pleased taking
away from parents and state the control of children until 18
years of age and that stringent sumptuary laws would be
enacted and enforced by an army of federal employes, goes
witl ""t question. That is the sole idea of those who lobicd
the measure through congress.
Boy Scouts to the Rescue
Portland police confess their inability to cope with
facetious burglar who is popularly styled "Inch-aiul-a-Quarter
Jimmy" and have officially called in the Coy Scouts to effect
his capture. This particular light fingered jokesmith is
credited with l.'iO robberies in the past few months and
despite the detail of battalions of police to catch him, con
tinues to merrily ply his trade of prying open windows, enter
ing premises, leisuringly searching houses and taking any
money left about.
"Inch-and-a-Quarlcr Jimmy" is merely showing up the
incapacity and inefficiency of the Portland police department;
snd if he compels a reorganization, will be worth the price he
exacts. He is not making any bigger fools of the police,
however, than they are making of themselves by calling upon-
the Boy Scouts for aid.
It will be remembered that a couple of years or so ago,
another crook made a similar expose of the Portland police,
and Mayor Raker with customary photographing took com
land of the force in person, but the highwaymen continued
to hold-up victims successfully, outwitting police and mayor
until wearied of the game. To this day he never has been
apprehended.
As long as the Portland police department is managed as
it is, "Inch-and-a-Quarter Jimmy" is perfectly safe, and he
knows it. The trouble, as everyone knows, is that it has been
Ku Kluzed, and as long as it is operated as a Klan annex, just
so long will the demoralization caused by favoritism and
fanaticism continue. But what hope of reform can there be
viith a Klan mayor and a Klan chief in command?

"It looks to me as though they
wera both after Kosa.
"But hs didn't tU mi h had
a gun."
'There are some tilings, my
friend, that a man doesn't tell.
"Don't say that, Jim. liotlney
Evans has tola me the truth and
all the truth, and anyway if It
is hi gun every chamber In it Is
still loaded. At least Eldon Fo&
was not murdered with Rodney
Evans' gun.
A3 Dick Starniount hung up the
receiver the bell rang a?iin. "Dick.
Dick! Rodney upenking. Meet me
at the police station lmnuiiiately.
I've Just been arrested for the mur
der of Elton Fobs."
As Dick Star mount went out the
door on his way to meet Itodney
Evans ttt the jail he ran into Jim
Klrby on the tsteps of the apart
ment hotel.
"Jim, I'm glad you're here.
Rod's been arrested," exclaimed
Dick.
"Then they have found - some
new evidence," Klrby concluded.
"I suppose so, Jim, otherwise
they would have waited until the
inquost was ended. Let's go over
there as soon as possible. I want
to keep Rod from talking. I could
tell that he was excited when he
telephoned me; he rang off before
I could tell him not to say a
word."
Dick's car was parked at the
curb. The men started immedi
ately for the Jail, where Dick as
Rod's attorney was to be permit
ted to consult his client.
"Come along, Kirby," Dick urg
ed.
No, I won't go In with you," he
anawered. "You see there are a
lot of fellows hanging around here
ai.d we must not get any of them
down on Evans. They are all good
reporters and honest men, but if
it would tend to color their r
ports. We are all human. Dkk.
know I would be anjjO if
thoucht that nnyone would give
my competitors nil ede on news
which by good right should be
long to all of us. It would be all
right If I turned up tho story my
self but you ee I am with you.
I ll Just stay here and talk tu the
boys."
Dick knew that Kirby was try
ing to get some Information from
tho reporters about tho J ill ami he
also had great faith In the ordin
ary reporter's ability to sec through
things.
Surmount found Rod greatly
excited. As soon a he sivv Dl- k
ho exclaimed: "Vuu won't let
them give me the thjrd desree.
will you? I may say burnt thing I
don't want to say."
"Ccrlnlnly not. They don't do
that nowadays. What I w:i.it you
to do is to k"ep your muiuh hut
when either frleiUa, reporlera ui
polica try to Inveigle you into say
ing something in a good-natured
way. Don't talk to nnyone except
me. No one can make you talk,
Rod, unless you want to."
"I've been so afraid I might say
something that would hurt Kath
tjn that It has driven mo nearly
mad. I expect that I would have
to answer questions that were put
to me by the police."
"Not now, Rod. Not since you
have been arrested. Now your
rights are protected in a- way.
"Ypu can be confhl-Mitl.il with
me. Indeed, you must tell me all
the truth. Wiiy did you not tell
me that the gun you picked up by
Foss' body was you-a?"
"Was mine? I didn't know it
was mine. I thought I had pick
ed up the wrong gun. I've suppos
ed all the time that tha gun that
they found In Elton Fo.-s' pocket
would bo tho one I had given to
they thought you were favorli-g me Kathlyn. Why this ma&es all tlio
Dick ?"
"Yes, Rnd, and 1 wish you had
turned immediately In the gun you
had. You know If you had It
would hive exonerated you from
nil blame."
"Why would ltr
'Why you know, Rod, that every
barrel of your gun is loaded. Not
a chamber had been fired.'
"Of course, Dick, and that la
what proves that Kathlyn did not
kill 1-oss."
T:n sorry to say that It does
rot. Rod. It exonerates only yau.
The gun you picked up Is your
in, If yo-j say you loaned it to
Kaih'yn lint further complicates
mailers. Someone killed Elton
Vom. You know that he was kill
id with ilio sun that you put back
in his pricket. It has been found
i hat tiu-re was one bullet fired from
that gun. It will be proved from
the position of tho wound that
1-ihs (u!d not have killed himself.
"You to Id me yourself. Rod.
That Kathlyn asked, "Have you
both nuns?"
I do not see, Dick, how
she ould have had two guns in
ln.r possession."
"Tlitiy won't try to see. The po
lice will say that you have
brought in your own gun In an
effort to clear her. This, of course
they would not havo been able to
do if you had turned In your own
automatic in the lirst place. You
yourself heard at the Inquest that
(here was a small thumb print on
the other un which might be a
woman's print. Use your reason.
Rod. Don't lPt your heart speak.
What we must do Is lo keep them
away from Kathlyn as long as pos
sible." "But, Dick, don't you think there
is a possibility that Kathlyn is In
nocent?" Tomorrow Why Woman Kills.
