COLORADO LABOR LAW.

When two hundred employees started
to strike at the factory Of cracker
company in Denver, the operation of
the new industrial law of Colorado
was put in force. The cracker com.
pany reduced wages, whereupon the
workers decided to strike. The In.
dustrial Commission ordered the com.
pany to restore the old scale of wages
and the working men were ordered
to return to their places. The law will
be watched with great interest
throughout the country. The law re-
quires that thirty days notice be Civ.
en- by either party, whether employer
or employee if a change in the scale of
wages is asked for, then at the end

the action that it will tend to bring
about the peace.

SAME CAPTAIN BROUGHT eAvAN
DUFFY.
Irish News.

An interesting coincidence occurs in
connection with the arrival on Tues
day at the North Wall of the remains
of O'Donovan Rosa on board the City
of Dublin Steampacket Company's
steamer Carlow from Liverpool. The.
commander of the Carlow is Captain
Williams, and in describing the i'm
pressive scenes at Liverpool on Mon
day when the body of the distin-
guished Irish exile was brought on
board the Dublin-bound steamer, he.
recalled with a sad pride the fact that
he was also the captain of the steam
er of the same line which carried the.
remains of the late Charles Gavan
Duffy from Liverpool to Dublin. At
that time Captain Williams was in,
charge of the Steamship Kerry, which
was the vessel conveying the casket-
containing the body Of Gavan Duffy.
It was learned from the captain that.
a very impressive scene took place at
Liverpool on Monday, where in spite
OF talllng rain, great number Of
Liverpool and Lancashire Irishmen
and women, assembled at the steam
er's side and remained uncovered
whilst the travelling case containing
the coffin was brought on board and
secured to the deck of the Carlow.
These Irish exiles, large number of
whom were lockers, remained on the
jetty until the City of Dublin boat cast
off her shore moorings, and sailed
down the Mersey for the Channel. The
same deep respect was shown by the
Dublin lockers at the North Wall
Tuesday morning when the coffin was
brought ashore and removed in an un-
dertaker's vehicle for unpacking from
its travelling case prior to the lying-in-
state.

CITIZENS OR sovEREleNs.

Now and then we notice attempts
made to slap Uncle Sam in the face
because he does not agree with those
who are made victims of Anglo.

pies, is Henry James. Upon the for
feiture of the American citizenship of
this individual the Princeton, Mimi,

And now it is reported that Henry
James is going to surrender his Amer
lean citizenship in order that he may
be subject of George V. of England,

Urge General Embargo.
ITO this end the Congress should
give to the President power to estab-
lish a general embargo. We request
of the members of the House of Rep
resentatives and of the Senate that
they use their influence to the end
that Congress may be called in special
session and that this embargo may be
thus made possible, according to the
demands of the majority of the Amer
lean people. And finally, we express
the hope that the experience of this
war may lead to the enactment of d
law which will for all future time pro-
h1bit the expectation of arms and am
munition to any power or nation
actually engaged in conflict"

simply dupe, and that. Rome does
not want sincere friends, but only
considers him as a tool to accomplish
her results. The author, with the bit
ter anti-Catholic imagination of an
Englishman, came to the conclusion
that Germany will be crushed as a
Protestant power; France and Italy
will be punished for their antagonism
against the political ambitions of the
Holy See, and Russia humbled for
her refusal to obey the authority of
Rome. The authors plan for the sal
walton of England, in which he wishes
to be known as being sincere, allows
that the crushing of England will be
the crushing of the heart and center
of all Protestant power. To be sure,
no serious-minded person, no Catholic
would be suspected of taking such a
pamphlet seriously, but that does not
alter the point of view with which we
are to pass upon the feeling in Eng
land against all things Catholic. This
pernicious literary effusion will appear
to Americans as being of the same
composition as the stuff that dreams
are made Of, but the English hatred
of all things that SAVIOR of Catholicism
is vital in the minds of its agents.
How it is possible for any man who
makes any claim to common decency,
or in ordinary good sense, to recon
cile the fact that Catholics on all sides
and in every country and engaged in
an unholy conflict in Europe is quite
beyond reason and can only be ex-
planned on the ground that prejudice
and religious hatred is responsible for
these pamphlets, and it has accounted
for more atrocities in the name of the

ACCEPTING THE CATHOLIC POINT
OF VIEW.
(From the Winona Courier.)

(From the Winona Courier.)
The National Institution for Moral
Education offers a prize of $1,000 for
the best course of moral training for
use in the public schools. What tre-
mendous change few years have
wrought. It is not so long age that
any suggestion in that direction awak-
ened naught but bigotry and abuse.
The Catholic Church proclaimed to
the American people in season and
out of season that religion should
form the basis of every real system
OF education. For years hers was the
voice of one crying in the wilder
ness" Today, thousands of Americans
outside her fold agree that she is right.
The man who offered that $1,000 prize
sees things from the Catholic stand
point. We harbor no optimistic hopes
that any of our neighbors will in the
immediate future step up and claim
the prize. Morality and religion are
one and inseparable. So long as the
American people are religiously divid-
ed, no mould can be devised into
which all may with justice be cast.
Let our separated brethren learn a
lesson from the Mother Church of
christendom. Build: your schools as
we build ours. II you believe that
your faith is worth living for make a
sacrifice to bequeath it to your chill
dren. Let the state pay us all, Cath
ol1c and Protestant for the secular
instruction which our schools impart.
For the religious element in our cur
r1culum, let US deem it a privilege to
pay that ourselves. We will have no
union of church and state. This ia
the only solution of the problem of
moral training for our American
youth. This is the only solution that
may lay any claim to that $4,000, for
the reason that it is the only solution
that will work.

WHY | AN NOT A CATHOLIC

OuA 1edueFS Will De interested In q
recent editorial from the pen of E. w.
Van Doran, editor of the Ladora Iowa
Leader. frequently in the past we
had the pleasure to comment upon
the timely remarks of Mr.. Van Doran.
IN his recent article, "Why Am
Not Catholic" he foresees the DOS

be put to him by his non-Catholic
friends, because of the challenge he
has thrown out to the entire Catholic

ing the Catholic church against the
attacks Of its enemies. Mr.. Van Doran
has carried on his battle against
bigotry with unrelenting zeal and en-
ergy, and his answer to the question.
why l Am Not a Catholic" is very
forceful.
"Why am not Catholic?
well, perhaps for the same reason
that you are mott don't like re-
straint; don't like the idea of being
forced to confess my cussedness; l
don't like the idea of getting up and
going to church early in the morning
before breakfast; don't-oh, we'll, l
can give you the same old excuse that
everyone outside the church gives-to
be GOOD Catholic, you must make
sacrifices, and I guess that in this re.
spect am no better than the rest of
you fellows-I don't like sacrifices.
IF ever do get the idea in my
head that want to work twenty-four
hours a day at a sure-enough, dyed
in-the-wool brand of Christianity, I
shall begin to study up on the teach
tngs of the Catholic church, and If
you don't want to know what real re.
ligion Is, I'd advise you not to begin
the study, for some of the smartest
men that Professionalism has ever pro.
duced have begun that same study and
In the end they have landed in the
arms of the mother church, never
again to return to Professionalism.
Hardly week passes but that records
can be cited of ministers of the Pro.
testant faith embracing Catholicism,
and you wise guys have got to show
me where you or your much boosted
campaign of calumny and villiflcation
have been the cause of even ONE con-
version from the Catholic priesthood
to your way of thinking!
"Of course, you may point with
pride to the 'ex'.priests that you
have in your ranks, and fine models of
Christianity they are!-self.confessed
and self-advertising immoralists,
drunkards and libertines-offal from
the Pope's garden-fine bunch of as
sociates they are. And have they re.
formed, and become better men for
their conversion to Protestant
ism and patriotism?' Not in
a thousand years. II you want to
know just how much these fellows
have REFORMED, just follow up the
history of each one since he became a

holds that:
1T will last only so long as the
supply of gullible suckers hold out,
and while they make great splurge
and buster temporarily, the Catholic
church, its organization and it's insti-
tutions will not be hurt in the least.
THE mother church counts not her
numbers by men, but by time alone.
Generations will still continue to come.
She has seen them rise and fall, and
generations will still continue to come
and pass away, and the spires of her
institutions will still point skyward,
and the observance of the daily wor-
ship will still continue. She has seen
centuries, and will see centuries, not
changing one jot in the future, but
still standing and teaching as she does
today.
I'm the future, as in the past and
present, movements will be organized
against her, but she will live to say
requiem mass over them ALI"
Addressing his anti-friends he con.
cludes:
II am wondering just what you fel.
lows are going to do when the pres.
ent agitation for the unity of faith,
that is being advocated by the Pro.
testant denominations get together
and unity the conclusion.
when that time comes, and come it
will, Well all be Catholics!
when the four hundred different
denominations get together and unity
the whole, out of the uniflcation will
come the Catholic Church!
Church statistics point to the fact
that Professionalism as it now stands,
with Its division Of opinions and doc
trines, is a failure, and in order to
become power, they propose to for
mulate a general amalgamation of
doctrtnal faith, faith that will be
accepted by all, and to this end each
sect or denomination will be expected
to accept and tolerate the doctrinal
features of the other, no matter
whether they in conscience accept
that particular belief or not. And
when the 'unifications takes place,
they will have arrived at the exact
point from which they started-they
will have nothing more or less to Of
fer than has the Catholic Church.
THE Catholic Church cannot de.
viate from its standpoint of authority
If 1t does. 1t at once acknowledges
that It's wrong, and that there is no
authority in the world for the Chris
tian belief!
THE mere fact that Professionals
are clamoring for a 'unification,' re-
veals the fact that they acknowledge
the authority of the Catholic Church!
so you see, my anti-friends, that
time is doing what you cannot do,
time Is Fastening the acceptance of
the Catholic belief, and you puny
idiots are endeavoring to stop the
progress Of time.
In the past the Roman Catholic
Church has achieved victories In the
face of the worlds greatest opposition,
and she will continue to achieve vic
tories, until not only will America be
made Catholic. but the whole Chris
tian world will be Catholic"
