of Committee Are Held Every Thursday
Evening in Federation Headquarters

Report of the Joint Legislative
Committee of the Colorado State Fed
Grafton of Labor, Railroad Brother
hoods, held on Thursday evening, Feb
ruary l, 1917.

Minutes of the last meeting read
and approved.
Delegate Williams, chairman of the
committee appointed to visit the
Building Trades Council, reported that
he and Delegate Anderson and Nc
Cabe visited the Building Trades
Council and explained their position in
regard to the Endorsement of a candi-
date for appointment on the state
industrial commission as taken by the
Legislative Committee; that there
were several questions asked by men,
bers of the Council who seemed to
have a difference of opinion as to the
proper methods for organized labor TO
pursue in this matter. Delegate Will
liams reported that ne had received no
information as TO what action had
ssal@
the matter
Delegate Bulger reported that the
Council still had the matter under
consideration.
At this time Delegate Houston and
w. F. Hynes Of the Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen, submitted the
following resolutions:
Whereas. We are informed that the
governor has contemplated placing on
the industrial commission a member
or representative Of organized labor,
therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the Joint Legis-
lative Committee of the Colorado
State Federation of Labor and Rail-
way Brotherhoods in regular session
assembled, protest against rny such
appointment for the reason that no
worthy member of organized labor
can accept such a position while such
an infamous measure remains on the
statute books of this state.
II was moved and seconded that this
resolution be adopted. The motion
carried.

THE GREAT DETECTIVE" FINED
Court Finds Burns Guilty of Maraud.
ing a Law Office.

William ]. Burns. the great de-
tective," was fined 500. with an al
tentative of thirty days in Jail, for
entering the offices of a New York
law firm, making copies of private pa
pers and then publishing them.
In finding Burns guilty the court
laid down the legal principal that no
private detective has the right to en-
ter mans office or dwelling and eN-
anime his private correspondence and
papers.
1T would be giving a private de-
tective more power than policeman,
declared Justice Collins. The law
puts protection around a mans
home. 1t would be a deplorable thing
If, in America, a private house were
not safe from being entered by private
detectives; and, If a lawyers office
may safely be entered, what protec-
tion would n client have?"

Nature starts all her children. rich
and poor, physically equal. This
broadly speaking is the opinion of
many leading physicians. If the
number of children born healthy and
strong is not greater among the we'll
to-do classes than among the poorest,
then it presents to US a very signiti-
cant fact which completely revolu-
tionizes many notions as to the great
disadvantage of being born in the
tenement.
What happens to the tenement child
after its birth is quite another story.
Nature is not responsible for that.
She has done her best. If poverty or
indifference or ignorance or sin blight
her fair work, she stands uncon-
demned. But nature is not content
in accepting position in which she
is simply eNonerated. The violation
of her law is followed by an unforgiv-
ing pursuit, until the full penalty has
been inflicted, for with nature there
is no forgiveness of sin. And nature
makes no class distinctions.
This equality at birth does not long
favor the child of the slum and the
tenement. Vital statistics quickly
prove this statement, for the burden
and penalty of poverty and its ac-
INK wis 1stAA llloSl
upon the child. The lack of proper
nourishment, of suitable clothing. of
healthy sanitary conditions, make life
precarious for the babe who must
suffer on account of their absence.
When such state becomes chronic.
the chances for life are exceedingly
small. Deaths scythe sweeps relent-
lessly thru the ranks of little chill
dren, whose cry for food has chilled
n thousand mothers hearts. Then are
hushed a thousand babies voices. who
suffered long because there was no
skillful hand to nurse, and no healing
draught to cure.
There is no battle more royal than
the saving Of the child. To bring color
to the wan cheek, to bring brightness
to the dullcd eye, to so much as bring
smile to the face that already bears
the mark of pain and sutfering-this
is task worthy of the best that is in
any man.
TO organized labor has this work
been given. No other mission can

A Great Discovery

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
a dropsical condition, often caused by
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood is filled
with poisonous waste matter, which set
ties in the feet, ankles and wrists; or
under the eyes in bag-hke formations.
AS a remedy for those easily recog-
nized symptoms of inflammation caused
by uric acid-as scalding urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as well as
sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum-
bago, sciatica, govt, it is simply wonder
full how quickly Anuric acts; the pains
and stiffness rapidly disappear.
The very best possible way to take
care of yourself is to take glass Of
hot water before meals and Anuric, the
discovery of DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, n. Y.
Step into any drug store and ask for a
Soc. package Of Anuric, which is many
times more potent than ithia and elimi-
mates uric acid almost as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial viii convince you.

that such peace would have to be
guaranteed on both sides by democ-
racies, not by democracies on one side
and by the present German govern
ment on the other In that respect, the
Quakers of the United States are abso-
lutely in accord with President Will
son. As between what Wilson stands
for and what La Toilette stands for,
the Friends are with the President
without the slightest question.
'Supposing as it may seem, we
Quakers are optimistic right now in
the midst of war, for we believe that
this war is making for the peace that
we stand for. It has demonstrated a
great many things to the world that
were not sufficiently thought about
and appreciated before. It has shown
that the old diplomacy, the diplomacy
of the honest man who is sent abroad
to lie for his country, has utterly
failed, and that the world must come
to the Golden Rule diplomacy of John
Hay. With this awakening to the mis-
take of the past the people of the
world will realize that they must
qualify themselves for citizenship in
their several States as they never have
done before

opposition to this war constitute no
remedy for war"
Again Root Approves.
Again the Quaker from California
nodded approval.
"They are the opinions" said Mr..
Root, that found generally prevail
ing among the Friends throughout the
United States. / urged them all to do
everything possible to help in all &C
tivities for the aid and comfort OF the
troops, to cooperate with the govern
ment in its food conservation pro-
gram, to join the Red Cross, to buy
Liberty bonds found that they were
already doing all of these Things.
Quaker women everywhere are KNIT
ting and making bandages for soldlers,
collecting books to be sent TO the
camps, and aiding the Y. NJ. G. A. IN
its work among the men in the armies.
THE biggest single effort OF the
Quaker is, perhaps, the work OF the
Friends Service Unit for reconstruct
ion in France. We already have con-
tributed large sums for that and will
make it half million more. Quakers
have already gone to France as the
representatives of this unit and are
living there at their own expense and
working without any compensation
whatever in the rebuilding of homes
and the restoring of gardens and vine
yards. Other Quakers are going soon
to join them. Such Friends as DR..
Rufus NJ. Jones, Professor of Philos-
ophy at Haverford; Isaac Sharpless,
Dean of the Haverford Graduate
School, and DR.. Walter C. Woodward,
Secretary of the Friends Five Years
Meeting, are directing the work of this
Service Unit.
1.-THE Quakers of the country have
gone into these activities without the
slightest hesitation or doubt as to the
propriey or consistency of their serv-
ice. They all seem to feel instincttvely
that double obligation is laid upon
them to render what service they can
in the ways that are not barred to
them by their belief They welcome
the opportunity to show that man
who may not bear arms to kill an
other man can still be loyal and useful
70 his country. They do not condemn
those who are bearing arms. On the
contrary, they applaud the soldiers for
their courage and they pray for them.
They give to the men who can fight
conscientiously full credit for honesty
of conviction.
Pray For Victory.
"Quakers, in all their meetings, not
only pray for our own soldiers but for
the cause of the Allies. We have been
for the Allies from the beginning of
tie war in 1914 because the thing that
the Allies are fighting to destroy is
abhorrent to Quakers. We want the
destruction of the German idea.
.Of course, Quakers want peace, but
it must be a durable peace. We are
not interested in a bogus peace that
would soon lead to further war, and
we are not deceived by the efforts OF
| the German government and it's agents
| in this country and elsewhere to bring
| about Berlin peace that would leave
! the Prussian autocracy in control OF
! the fate of Europe and the world
| we want a peace that will lead to

council has threatened to expel the
offending member if he is found

Many readers take such paragraphs
as the foregoing with a grain or two
of salt. If a member of the Lee coun-
ty council of defense is guilty of the
thing charged his name should be
published. If he is not guilty the
insinuation should not appear in the
newspapers. Just why anybody
should hesitate in giving the name
of such an offender to the public is
not clear. The public is entitled to
it and publicity would be the severest
punishment that could be meted out
to the offender. In fact, that is all
the penalty necessary.
