RELIGIOUS LAWS
MAKE HYPocRITEs

To the Editor:-
A Law compelling men to keep
Sunday or any other day as If they
thought it sacred, would be enforcing
a religious dogma and compelling peo-
pie to acquiesce outwardly in the
religious ideas of other.
Religious laws make hypocrites.
The conscientious man objects, and
gets into trouble. 1t is certainly time
for the ideas which controlled the re-
ligious prosecutors of the sixteenth
century to be banished, never to ap-
pear again. That we have not attained
the ideal if proof of the limitations of
our fallen nature. There is in govern
ment absolutely no power to life man
kind to higher spiritual plane. The
sooner this is recognized, the better.
All religious legislation has had as
it's object but one thing;-the enforce
ment of certain dogmas held by some
man or class of men. There has been
coupled with this, the fear that, if
left without the power of the civil
law, these doctrines would not find
favor in the minds of the masses.
No religion which commends itself,
and which reaches the souls of men,
needs the power of civil legislation.
Place two dogmas side by side: one
may win, the other lose. The one
which wins, will ask for no help from
the civil power. 1t has in itself ele-
ments of success. That one element
is TRUTH.
Souls hungry for the bread of life
see in it that which is. satisfying No
need of driving them to it. It's beauty
draws them.
The other, lacking these elements,
resorts to force; unabled to win by
its virtue, and thus to reach the soul,
1t appeals to the civil power and rules
the body, compelling an outward che
dience to pretended spiritual doc
trine.
Any religion which has not the in
herent power to perpetuate itself is
not worthy to live.
Yours very truly,
H. B. MEEKER.

Rockwell's Letter
} . . . . . <<>>>>
March 10. 1921,

March 10, 1921.
am taking up few Of the major
bills which have passed the House
and will be before us next week.
First, however, wish to say word
regarding the appointment for the
State Land Board which has been the
source of so much newspaper talk
and the one political split in the re-
publican party this session. The Land
Board is composed of three persons
all appointed by the governor for a
term of four years. They have con-
troll Of the lands owned by the state,
including the school lands which they
rent, sell and lease the coal and other
minerals contained thereon. In fact,
they are the states custodian of
these lands and the funds derived
therefrom. They also have charge of
the school fund and its investment.
In fact this Board is one of the most
important in point Of responsibility of
any in the state. The man whose term
expired January 1921 is John F. vi
man of Colorado, and a man of con-
siderable ability both in political and
business relations. Unfortunately, Mr..
Vivian and Governor Shoup had some
disagreement over business matters
connected with the Board; and it has
been certain ever since the session
started that the Governor would not
re-appoint Mr.. Vivian for this posi-
tion. Who was right in the matter,
do not know; but feel confident
that the attacks made by certain re-
porterS on Mr.. Vivian are without
foundation, and I am sure they are
without Governor Shoup's approval
Personally, feel that Mr. Vivian has
carried on the work of this depart
ment conscientiously and efficiently
However. the fact remains that Gov.
ernor Shoup, for his own reasons. will
not re-appoint Mr.. Vivian to this posi-
ton. Now it happens that the Gever-
nor's appointment to this position has
to be confirmed by the Senate where
Mr.. Vivian has many friends and
stands in the highest regard. The
question has been, could Governor
Shoup get a man to accept this ap-
pointment who could get the confirma
ton of the Senate. Many names
have been suggested and whispered
about, but none has been sent till this
