wonder why every one seemed to
have a contemptuous dislike OF the
police. After witnessing their treat
ment of the striking garment work
ers l no longer WONDER
Just before noon Wednesday
number of strikers walked past the
Royal Tailors. There was no dis
order, unless you call blowing whis-
tie a riot, as the kept press will tea-
ture it. There was bunch of cops
and gunner standing on the corner.
Immediately they started to dispense
them, and a number of our mounted
Cossacks arrived to lend a hand.
Then the hundreds in nearby build
ings began to pour out.
The GODS had their hands full keep
ing everybody moving, which con-
sisted of grabbing you and giving you
a push or poking you with their clubs.
They made the mistake of bawllng
out several of the officers of a near
by company. One of them told one
of these DULLES where to get off. That
COP backed water and to cover his
confusion he grabbed a girl on the
way to her lunch and showed her in
the waiting patrol wagon.
Is there no way to make these
bone-headed cops responsible for
their actions? Nine arrests out of
ten are uncalled for and the courts
refuse to hold them prisoners. We
need defense league that will pros
ecute every cop that makes a false
arrest.-Frederick.

note that many readers of The Day
Book possess strong anti-church pref
udices.s l would like to ask them if
they are at all acquainted with the
real liberal churches with their faith
founded in reason and science and
their motives directed toward widest
service to humanity?
AS the minister of one such church
1 urge them to investigate and then
consider if they might not render
constructive service within the ranks.
Otherwise theirs is merely destruc-
tive work. And l can guarantee that
nowhere is bigger work being done
for the advance of high ideals and
modern thought, in proportion to our
resources. At the present time we can
offer a particularly fitting test, in a
series of sermons beginning next
Sunday on ''The Program of the
Prince of Peace" Here will be one
instance where church calling itself
Christian is propagating the pure
spirit of the Nazarene which all the

spects and loves. Will you accept the
