HOOVERS WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE RECOGNIZED THE FIRST RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP BY PROTECTING THE CHILD. i ... L I A great forward step in civilization was taken when the following Childrens Charter was adopted by the Presidents White House Conference. Only a synopsis is given. FOR EVERY CHILD 1 Spiritual and moral training, that he may stand firm in life. 2 Understanding and the guarding of his personality as the most precious gift. 8 A home and that love and security which a good home provides. 4 Full preparation for his birth, his mother receiving prenatal, natal and postnatal care. 5 Health protection from birth through adolescence, including periodical health examinations. 6 From birth through adolescence, promotion of health, including health instruction and a health program. 7 A dwelling place safe, sanitary and wholesome. 8 A school which is safe from hazzards, sanitary, properly equipped, lighted and ventilated. For the younger children nursery and kindergarten. 9 A community which recognizes and plans for his needs, protects him against physical dangers, moral hazzards, and disease; sane, wholesomev play and recreation. 10 An education which prepares him for life; training and vocational guidance. 11 Such teaching and training as will prepare him for successful parenthood, homepnaking and citizenship. 12 Education for safety and protection against accidents. ' 13 For those blind, deaf, crippled or otherwise physically handicapped, measures which will diagnose, provide care and treatment and so train him that he may become an assetr 14 For those in conflict with society, the right to be dealt with as a charge and not an outcast, with the home, the school, the church and the court to help shape his return to moral life. 15 The right to grow up in a family with ah. adequate standard of living and the security of a stable income. 16 Protection against labor that stunts growth, physi- cal or mental; that limits education, that deprives of comradeship, play and joy. 17 For every rural child as satisfactory schooling and health service as for the dty child. 18 To have the home and the school supplemented in training and a return to the interests which modem life tends to cheat children of. 19 To have everywhere made available these minimum protections to health and welfare by having district, county or community organizations for same, coordinated with a state-wid- e service of program responsive to a nation-wid- e general 'information. How could a better program be devised? It should be lived up to in letter and spirit, and with it as a foundation we shall build such a civilization' as will put the present one to shame. We must get dose to the little ones ; we must snatch them from the breeding places of poverty, ignorance and ciime. We must get next to thdr hearts and win them ere they go forth into life to battle with all the forces that make for thdr undoing.

And this in the face of the collapse of the gold standard in several countries and general calamity in all the weaker nations as well as in the stronger ones. The world- and the gen- eral calamity among weaker peoples are the result, mainly, of the fall in the price of silver. Making it plainer, they are the result of striking down silver as the peoples money. Until the inadequacy of the Complete Berber Service at The BEEHIVE BARBER SHOP Steve" cute your hair with a smile. SO i is recognized to its restored is diver rightful place, calamity will continue and one economic set-back after another will follow. The purchasing power of all the weaker nations has been cut squarely in two, and more. The people cannot buy. They are starving and disaster is claiming many millions of them annually. It is within the power of the United States to save these people and their countries. Not by giving or lending, but by leading out for silver and compelling stronger nations to right the grievous wrongs the money power has imposed upon the people. Will this nation do it ? Will it put humanity above gold? Anyone with ears to the ground and eyes fixed on conditions Bhould know what must inevitably result if this work is not attended to. Governments cannot endure in seof their curity with one-ha-lf people starving and the other half over fed and reveling in luxury. Will our great country rise to the occasion or will it stand unmoved, clutching its gold in its hands, while wreck and ruin faces the world? and of Silver wide depression Civil- South State Street the A PROPHET IN BRITAIN Fear in the Hearts of Man will be Relieved There is unemployment on every hand men, women, and children are on the verge of starvation. Men are losing thdr jobs, or wages are being cut. Farmers and stock-me- n are going broke, thdr farms and ranches being taken away from them, because they can-ppay their taxes and mortgages. Renters are being ejected because they cannot pay thdr rent. There is suffering, fear, and failure on every hand. All this is in a land of plenty. Fruits, vegetables, and grains are wasted, warehouses filled to capadty with the human necesdties. The only answer you can give for this evil, is MONEY. For the love of money.is the root of all evil: Which while some coveted after, they have erred, (been seduced) from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timonthy 6:10. With our unjust distribution of wealth, (caused by our Financial System) we are forced into this FEARFUL, CHAOTIC condition. We have of our reports that 80 wealth is controlled by 4 of the citizens and that 64 men control the 120,000,000 people ; that there are 4 or 5 billionaires in the United States (our gods of gold and silver, who have failed us). If you were given $ 1.00 per hour every hour of your life, 24 hours per day, 865 days per year, you would have to live to the age of 114,077 years, 42 days, 10 hours, to become a billionaire, but we can cut the working day to 8 hours, with no holidays, and you will have to live 342, 231 years, 127 days, and 6 hours. Such concentration of wealth places almost unlimited power in the hands of a few. At the same time it denies to many the ot H. G. Wells, one of the worlds greatest minds, writes a prophetic article for the January Cosmopolitan. He says, Mankind has fallen over a ' Gold has been gold brick. the undoing of the world. We were warned long ago by the great Commoner who flung his challenge to the financial powers that they should not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold. But they would not listen to him, and will not even now turn from the error of their ways. The common people must unite and take upon themselves the task of setting the national house in order.

The preachers and editors who tell us that all is well are blind to conditons. What is wrong? It might be better to ask, What is right? Here we have the most fertile land the sun ever shone upon. Our resources are not half developed ; capital is so plentiful that it is breaking down the vaults ; the workers are the most trained and intelligent that ever existed. Yet millions toil for a mere pittance out of which they can barely live; and other millions walk the streets begging vainly for work. While they are doing this new millionares are being created every day and the few are getting a firmer hold on the wealth of the nation. It is a tragedy, a disgrace, a crime. And it will not be changed by the present ruling powers. The country must Bwing to the party of the people. It all resolves itself into two problems, First, how to insure to every person an opportunity to earn an honest livelihood; Second, to effect a more distribution of equitable wealth among those who create it. Upon these two propositions hang all the law and the prophets, as they say. Before them all other problems sink into insignificance. They must be solved. If a Democratic- spices flavors of life. Some persons, I noted, were rudely pushing weaker ones away and hogging the good Sthings even the actual food in instances. There is enough to go round if all would take only a fair share. But with some taking more even than they could eat and hording it, others had to go hungry. I made up my mind to give back whatever I had that I did not need to live upon. People wTho take more than they need from the table of earth do not always know that they are pigs, but they are. Socialism will not cure the pig habit. The way out is for those who take more to consider themselves as trustees for the surplus. Maybe some day they will help others up to the table, where they can help themselves. That day of things is coming rapidly. It must not be called charity. The name for it is JUSTICE. Add to it human love, and the world is made safe and happy for all mankind. Chase Salmon Osborn.

It is as much a patriotic duty today to swing to the party with the desire and ability to set matters right as it was in early days to be on the side of Washington. You professionals and business men who sit in your cozy offices had beter come out and mix in politics before government is taken over by the mob, which is not a very remote probability if things go on as they are going. The time to save w'hat we prize in Americanism is NOW. Thomas Jefferson was and is, and must remain, the pa- tron saint of American liberalism and democracy. A poet ha3 said that his principles and influences will dominate our politics for a thousand years. All parties, present and to come will be more or less influenced by his ideas. Where in all history, save in the case of Jesus, has there been a man who, having power to make it otherwise, dared to implicitly trust the common people? ' Jefferson was the first, and by his work and influences he placed the shepherd with his crook, the toiler with his tools, the farmer with his plow', the rich man with his money, the monarch with his crown, upon an equal footing before God and man and the law. He tore the mask from the face of tyranny and priestcraft and silenced forever the mouth ings about the divine right of kings. The highest tribute that can be paid to Thomas Jefferson is the one paid him by Abraham Lincoln, which proves that at heart Lincoln was a Democrat. I have never entertained a political sentiment that I did not learn from a study of the life and work of Thomas Jefferson. No words could better express Jeffersons faith in AJmerica than these: The last hope of human liberty in this world rests with the government of the United States. This is literally true. If we fail then humanity fails. His concern was not so much the wealth of the world, but the welfare of the people, the common people, submerged and oppressed since time began. It is time that we goto the fount of Jefferson and take inspiration for these troublous times. To all who are struggling for the right to toil ; for liberty and light; for human welfare; for true freedom, the name of Jefferson will forever shine like a great ray of hope. His living faith in the people, his firm reliance upon divine Providence as he breathed it into Americanism, is the sheet anchor of our hopes and upon it is staked the very life of the republic. DR.
