THE WRONG WAY.

6PHE plan suggested by the mayor Of Oakland we find
repugnant He proposes to place under arrest all
who do not display the American flag.
Compulsory patriotism is about as satisfactory as
skunk capture One is worse off after the victory
Patriotism must come from within It can't be
pounded in from the outside It true of course that
pounding desirable but it cannot be effective if there
is nothing the inside which base the hope of
sponse An appeal in such improbable as bril-
liant argument directed to the intellect of an oyster
If there is nothing patriotic inside arrest will merely
aggravate any feeling of resentment Moreover it will
dampen the budding ardor of really loyal people who are
undemonstrative.
1t is the wrong way to be unduy harsh It is mis-
take to act suspicion grievous error to as
sumo that only those who make show are true to their
country The Stacker the coward the traitor the spy
even is quite apt to himself behind bunting and
attempt through noise to divert attention from his pr
poses
is fitting that American citizens display the flag It
sentiment but any who do not to decorate their
homes their should not be subjected to harass
ment Their failure to display the flag does not
lily imply disloyaty.
The flag can be also in the heart
1t is not the proper to punish those who do not
make outward display of the flag but to punish those who
assault it and these things for which it stands.

BOULDER RALLIES
TO UNION STAND
NEW ORGANIZATIONS NOW
UNDER WAY.
Prominent Speakers Address Mass
Meeting of Workers Held for Lin
ing Up Unions Prior to State
Convention in That City.
Especial Correspondence.)

BOULDER, Colo, April "A rous-
ing meeting of labor men was held in
Union hall, this city, last Friday eve
ming. 1t had been called for the pur-
pose of interesting several morgan
lied crafts in the benefits of united
action. There are now four live un-
ions in this college town comprising
the painters, musicians, printers and
plumbers. Within a short time it is
expected that unions Of carpenters,
stage employees, electricians, timers,
and a federal union will be perfected.
Owing TO the fact that the annual
convention of the Colorado State Fed
Grafton of Labor is to be held in this
city next August live interest is be-
ing shown here in the labor muvement,
not only among working men but citi-
zens generally, not overlooking the
faculty of the state university.
The meeting Friday night was pre-
sided over by P. L. Dennhardt of the
Typographical Union Four speakers
came up from Denver on the Interur-
ban line, especially to address this
meeting. They were John McLennan,
president, and Ed. Anderson, secre-
tary, of the State Federation of La
Dor, Reizen Orr of Detroit, treasurer
of the Street Railway Employees Union
of America, and Clint c. Houston, edi-
tor of The Denver Labor Bulletin.
/ Their addresses covered varied phases
of the labor movement and aroused
much enthusiasm among the large
audience.
| Quite a demonstration followed the
announcement by Secretary Ed. An
/ derson that a movement had already
been inaugurated TO organize a non
partisan league in this state, composed
{ of farmers and cirv u-age-earuers
along lines which proved so successful
. in North Dakota
There is every indication that the
annual convention of the Colorado
/ State Federation of Labor TO be held
I in this city beginning Monday, August
/ 6. viii be the most historic as well as
the most interesting since the state
body was organized in Pueblo twenty
two years ago.

PATRIOTISM AND BABIES
BY SCOTT NEARING.

How the strength of the nation is
being impaired by the conditions which
make babies sicken and die, and what
some two thousand communities have
done to awaken interest in the con-
servation of the youngest citizens, are
briefly reviewed in a new bulletin on
baby week campaigns which has just
been issued by the children's bureau
of the United States department OF
labor.
Approximately one in ten of all the
babies born in the United States dies
before completing twelve months OF
life, and the children's bureau says:
1T was once thought that high
infant death rate Indicated greater
degree of vigor in the survivors. Now
it is agreed that the conditions which
destroy so many of the youngest lives
of the community must also result in
crippling and manning many others
and must react unfavorably upon the
health of the entire community.
Two thousand one hundred commu-
mites have reported to the children $
bureau the details of baby day or
baby week by which they called at
tention to the need of protecting their
babies. Ingenious devices for exhib-
its, new methods of distributing
pamphlets on baby care, ways in which
information on local conditions was
secured and published, and other inter
esting features from these local re-
ports are described In the bulletin rs
