A CALL TO THE CHURCHtS. The National Child Labor com­

mittee at its annual meeting just held in New York City, issued a call to- the churcheB of Amerloa Inviting them to observe Sunday, January 28th, or Sat­urday, January 27th, 1912, as Child Labor Day. The committee report shows that during the year just closed better child labor laws have been passed in thirty states, and that the Commission on Uniform Laws of the American Bar Association has pre­pared and sent out to the public a model child labor law to be used as a standard of uniformity in all states;

These notable gains In the develop­ment of child labor reform In Ameri­ca indicate the wide-spread public in­terest and the timeliness of such observance of the day as the com­mittee invites. Although these grat­ifying results have been secured the report of the committee also calls at­tention to conditions against which every church ought to issue its pro-

a month for the first six months. The reasonable and business-like

way of approaching the garbage dis­posal question is the employment of a reputable and competent engineer to examine local conditions and report on such topics as the most economi­cal routes for collection and transpor­tation, the establishment and loca­tion of one or more centers for dis­posal and the final method of treat­ment—incineration or reduction—best suited to the amount and nature of the refuse gathered. Small towns should beware of the man with pat­ented machinery. In all cases the ex­pert adviser is better than the quack.

NOTES AND COMMENT. The Washington Democrat predicts

that Taft will be nominated and a Democrat will be elected.

THE NEW RAILROAD TRUST#-• The argument of James O. Fagan

with reference to railroads, which ap­pears in the current number of The. World Today, leads to the conclusion that there is a railroad trust, but it is made up of the employes of roads ana not of stockholders or officials of any kind.

Mr. Fagan's plea, however, is one

"BUT WHAT SAYE8T THOU?" At the time of the meeting of the

National Educational Association ii. Ban Frfcnciico last July Dean Sum­ner of Chicago quoted the following poem in the course of a sermon. It is here reprinted by reason of Its intrin­sic merit and also by request::

We have saved the soul of the man that killed,

We have turned to shrive the thief; We restored-the pride of the man that

lied And we gave him our belief; v

But for her that fell we have fash­ioned hell

; With a faith all stern and just— It was so of old; and no man has

told What our Lord wrote in the dust.

We have sighed betimes of our broth­ers' crimes

And have bade them be of cheer, For the flesh is weak, and the soul

grown meek Way yet read its title clear.

But we draw away from the one astray

As the truly righteon* must. 6he is cursed indeed—and w-e did not

read What our Lord wrote in the dust.

For the men who thrived, and who killed, and lied—

Who have slain the woman's soul— We have worked and prayed and

have seen them made All clean and all pure and all whole.

But we drive her out with a righteous shout
