Denver, Colo, June 3o.--Judge BEL
=. Lindsey OF juvenile court fame,
topping idol. Careful canvass o
the anti-Lindsey sentiment, especlail
among the women, shows that 1t ma
grown steadily Yin the last six months
Lenders in the Woman's Protcctlv
league and in rAform movements ou'
side of that organization are loud'
clamorng for thu recall OF the Juds

5ents we're supported by verified
transcripts of the official records OF
the Juvenile court itself.
But so shameful was the state of
affairs disclosed that Denver and the
rest of the country found 1t hard to
believe, especially since Judge Lind
scy has long trained the public to be-
lieve in his devotion to children and
that any enc who eritieises the luven-
lie court does so from some selfish or
sinister motive.
Strike Statement Clinches Doubt.
'"rhe disclosures OF the Woman s
Protective league, however, raised
doubts and set people to thinking aud
investigating-som they never
did before.
This, together with his recent
shocking false statements i'll the East
about strike conditions IN Colorado,
has at last aroused our people TO his
real character and that OF his juven-
lie court.
THE Woman's Protective league
