The Best Plan tr is painful to observe the struggles which some of our states are sub- jected to in trying to avoid yielding to the popular clamor for more strin- gent child labor laws. To all such we heartily recommend Alabama's plan, which has been more successful in keeping the factories full of children and the schools empty than that of any other state, Alabama’s device is very simple. She allows her legislature to meet only once in every four years. This presents a stone wall to all agita- tion. It obviates the annual necessity of staging that well-known legislative burlesque which consists of introducing radically progressive bills on a given subject, of giving out interviews by the political leaders that the matter is at last to be settled in conformity with twentieth century humanitarian prin- ciples, of referring these bills to Trust- worthy committees, and finally, in the last few hours before adjournment, of either smothering the bills in committee or passing them in a scientifically emasculated form in which a fair face is presented by a meaningless jumble of words. History tells us nothing about the staunch and sterling patriot, lover of his country and fellow-men, who in- vented Alabama's plan of quadrennial legislative sessions of thirty days’ dura- tion. History has overlooked a great man who should be sought out at once and to whose chest an appropriate medal should be conspicuously affixed. E.0. J.
