NOME. ALASKA. JULY 21, 1916.
President Wilson's determination lo
press the child labor hill to an early
issue in spite of the objections of the
powerful Southern delegation may not
tie good politics exactly but it at least
indicate^ that he has set the best in
terest of the nation, its moral and
physical welfare, above personal con
siderations. His decision to insist j
upon the immediate abolition of child
labor in accordance with the terms
ol the measure now before congress
may lose him many votes in the com
where child labor has attained its
greatest development. Southerners
arc extremely jealous of their privi
leges and, if balked in their evident
desire, as expressed -by the attitude
of their representatives, to perpetuate
child slavery, even as they sought to
perpetuate black slavery, the presi
dent may loose a goodly portion of the '
Southern vote, it would not be at ail
surprising if a number of the South- 1
cm states, notorious for child slav
ery, should go strongly against him, j
even though he lie the accredited I
standard bearer of democracy. The
South is, generally speaking, demo- |
eratic, but democratic largely because j
democracy best serves its own inter- i
ests. When democracy no longer j
gives it that which it desires, it will i
not hesitate to change, any more than ]
will any other section.
The president may lose in the South I
uk a result of his action hut it will
assuredly win him the commendation!
of every person who possesses a spark '
of humane feeling that has not been j
contaminated by the lust for money, j
i > ga idles of whether they are demo
crats or republicans. Also, we feel
sure that it will, in the end, bring
him more votes than he will lose
through possible Southern defections,
fluid labor, as it has been permitted
to (lout ish in America, is one of the ,
most djunnalde institutions that has I
•ever been permitted to endure in a!
civilized and enlightened nation and
should he wiped out forever. No
blacker lilot has existed on the fail
fame of Hie United States than is
caused by the unrestricted exploita
tion of the childhood of the land by
(Juoso who have neither heart nor
conscience. No country in the world
has permitted the commercialization
of its you.’n and maidenhood as has
this nation which, more than any
Ollier, boasts of its humanity and
charity. Child labor admittedly ex
ists in some degree in nearly all
, countries, but, nowhere tinder the sttn
lias the blood and bone and sinew
of innocent childhood been so ootn
peltely given over to greed and rapa
city as in the United States. No
where has the "Hod of the machine”
been permitted to so glut himself with
sacrificed inocence; nowhere has hu
manity allowed the lustful to slay
the youth of growing generations on
the altar of greed on the scale (hat
lias been commonly practiced in this
so called Land of Freedom.
For more years than we ean re
member the lives of thousands of chil
dren have been blasted and destroyed
by the all absorbing lust for dollars.
i
Each passing year has witnessed an
ever growing stream of body broken
and health shattered children pour
from the mills and factories of the
land to become, if they survived to
maturity, the weak and sickly pro
genitors of enfeebled generations.
Each year has seen a steady increase
in the mortality of the nation due
to no other reason than that sordid
greed and lust is permitted to tear
innocent adolesence from the play
time of life to wear out the days, the
only really happy days of existence,
as slaves to the pitiless and inexora
ble dollar machine.
It is high time that such an insti
tution was wiped out root and branch
even though such action closes half
the mills of the country. Decency, if
nothing else, demands that a condi
tion which blasts the lives of inno
cent children and bestows an heri
tage of sickness and suffering on pres
ent as well as future generations
should be obliterated at once and for
all time.
