How many of these same pa

are telling the people of their
counties whom they should

COLORADO COURT HOLDS
INITIATIVE LAW VALID

DENVER, April 10.-The State Su-
preme court has upheld the initiative
and referendum law. The court held
that the people have power to initiate
an act repeating any law passed by
the legislature. -
A tangle in legislation is apparent
at this time, owing to the fact that
two eight-hour laws, one initiated. by
the employers and one by the working
people, were both adopted.
The supreme court in it's recent
opinion declared that the legislature
had the right to pass new eight
hour law to replace the two initiated
laws passed by the people last fall.
The court declared that the will Of
the people is supreme and that any
law passed by the legislature could
be repealed under the initiative and
referendum. 's>

NON-CHURCH GOING

Often in the industrial world the

fort and opportunities without as
Stunning any responsibility and with

altogether upon the men who are
fighting the battles for their entire
group in the labor world.
But there are other 'non-union-
ists.' I have often been told that d
man need not belong to the church
to be a Christia. This is true. The
church hasn't a monopoly Of all the
Christian men and women in the
world, but 1 want to say that the
Christian who is in the church is
the union Christian, while the
Christian outside of the church is the
'non-union" Christian.
Every charge that is hurled at the
head of the non-unionist in the in
dustria1 world is a boomerang that
swings back upon the processing
Christian outside of the church who
flatters himself that he is independent
of the church. AS a. Christian he is
enjoying privileges which cost the

themselves in order to give religious
liberty and comparative Christian
civilization to mankind.
This "non-unionist' Christian is ltv-
ing in a community which. has been
made safer and pleasanter because OF
the influences of the church. He is the
recipient of countless blessings which
have come as a direct result of the
power of the church.
In all probability he Is sending his
children to Sunday school where they
are receiving the only religious train
ing that comes in their lives, and he
knows the real pleasure and genuine
profit of this training. But so far as
he. is concerned; he is either indif-
ferent to the claims Of the church
upon him, or, as Is sometimes the
case, he is fighting the institution to
which he owes some of the best
things in his life.
In measure, this applies to every
man who is out of the church, but it
is especially applicable to him who
says that he is a, Christian but who
declines to become church men,

CURSE OF CHILD LABOR.
BY Harold G. kessinger.

Once an Indian chief went to see
the wonders of New York city. His
guides showed him the great cathe-
draIs, the towering sky,scrapers, the
massive bridges spanning mighty
streams, and the wonderful factories
where raw products were trans
formed into finished articles in an
almost miraculous way.
At the end of the day, at the con-
clusion Of the sightseeing, he was
asked, What is the most wonderful
thing you have SEEM"
And the old Indian chief replied in
just three words-"Little children
working"
Even the unframed mind Of that
untutored savage recognized the fact
that it is the birthright of every child
to have the years of childhood for the
development of it's mental faculties
and physical powers.
Today in our race for wealth We are
forgetting some of the rights of chill
dren and of men.
The farmer who expects to raise a
crop does not grind his seed corn. And
this nation, if it expects to rear 4
able-bodied men and women must not
grind out the youthful hopes and en-
ergies of our boys and girls in the
sweatshops, factories and shops OF
the land.
There are factories in the New
England states, and cotton mills in
the south, where little children are
hitched to machines before they can
talk hardly. and driven by them from
10 to IL hours a day.
A great many Of these children be-
come moral and mental degenerates
and physical wrecks. and in the COM
ing years the government will have to
care for them in our almshouses and
other institutions.
Even from the sordid standpoint Of
dollars and cents child labor does not
pay. It is curse to American child
hood, a blight on our civilization, and
a mortgae on our future citizenship.
1t is alright to believe in the con-
derivation Of our natural resources
but the boys and girls also must be
safeguarded and protected.
1t is more important to protect
American childhood than some old
oak tree or stream of water that turns
a mill.
