A Valuable Waning

The recent decision Of federal eout in North Caro-
lima holding that the law imposing prohbitive tax
ueon goods manufactured by child labor unconstitu
tiona is strictly within the lines of public interest.
The question involved is at all whether child la
bor is desirable accordance with the national vel
fare The question frst whether congress may do by
indrection something that it cannot do directly. and
further whether the federal legislators shall be per
mitted to go forward indefinitely taking powers
Of government that originally reserved to the
states.
Every lawyer is familiar with the principle that
whereas the constitutions made up of
tions upon the powers of government the federal const
ment In other words state government may exercise
any power Of government that is not prohibited by the
constitution of the or nation but the federal
ernment can do only things that the constitution
authorizes it to do.
This distinction is frequently overlooked by
and commonly ignored by radical reformers of all sorts
who seem to think that every evil, small large in
any part Of the country, may be most effectively cured
by congressional legislation enforced by federal Officers
or agents As result of this belief the scope of federal
has been greatly increased the cost of fed
era government enormously enlarged and the Liberties
of citizens and of corporations have been seriously inn
paired
An-ohild labor legislation is desirable in every state,
and the movement TO protect the children should con
tinue until such legislation is universal in this country
But such legislation belongs to the states and not to
the nation

The Colorado Springs Rodeo

An important addition has been made to the list of
regular summer entertainments in Colorado by the
gentlemen who planned and admirably carried into effect
the first annual program of wild-west sports and
tests at Colorado Springs
The result surprisingly successful for the be-
ginning of such ambitious undertaking. and it left
doubt in the minds of those present that Colorado
Springs has the opportunity to build up
spectacle of national fame, and that will easily
rank with the best of the kind given elsewhere
In this enterprise Colorado Springs, and its public
spirited citizens who have undertaken this should
have the approval of all the people of this state An
nual spectacle of this kind fail to be drawing
card for tourist business, and its benefits will be
confined to the city that is fortunate enough to be the
location selected for the ''rodeo''

Rebuilding the Churches
Frederick A. Hatch

Along with the rehabilitation of the city, what
about the churches of the city. Have they been
affected by conditions preceding and following
the floodf If there is need for higher ground for
the middle of the city, is there not for the Pro-
testant churches of Pueblo, need for definite,
united purposesi
1t may be put down a. a basic fact that so
long the churches esteem their organizations
as sufficient in and for themselves they are
doomed to poverty of ideals We must have a
real spirit of union in effort if the churches in
the Arkansas Valley are to escape the Judgment;
"weished-found wanting Then there needs to
be an enrichment of the membership of the
church in the detailed planning and working out
Of plans for the benefit of the community. We
are too cheap in ideas, the membership reck-
ons in cheap values the community at large
Judges us by our cheap ideas and methods. And
the central fact of existence for evangelical
church is the richest, largest and most >eauti-
ful fact in the universe, for it is the love of God
seeking lost men, and reckoning those who re-
eeive Him on His terms, His Bride, His Body.
And that sublime truth, wrap in rags of self
seeking, and ornament with church scraps, and
rotten the fibre with personal antipathies,
and give it just as little of time and money
as And for praying, that meeting so
termed, is too often farce.
And of these conditions need to be, and
beesuse that is true, are the mora under con-
denmation because we do not do what will change
them. The ringing command of the Head is,
"Seek first the kingdom but many of us
do not want the kingdom if it sacrifice of
our reputation, honors, emoluments, place or
power. The filling in of certain parts of the city
with debris cleaned out from other sections may
do for such conditions, but that plan method
will not do for the chnrch Of Christ. It must be
cleaned cut down to bedrock. And each member
knows what needs to be cleaned out of his
life.

SEEK MARRIAGE
.art TO AVOID TAX

London, Jan. q Tho new Paris
ian tax on Bachelors in order io.pre
Ide bonuses for babies is having It's
effect here.
Bachelors are ceaslng TO bIag
about their happy state.
AZ Ire beginning Of 1920 band OF
bachelors gathered together and
formed the Leap Years bachelor
Club. They pledged themselves to
stand together and laid down the
most stringent rules, which includes
a tabo, m theatre visiting in the
compa' : of representative OF the
menaclng sex. The founder of the
club was the firstzto fall.
After that they all cayed in aud
stocktakIng on New Years proved
that only one member was left Of
the gallant throng Of sworn cell
bates.
And now in the early days of 1921
comes this distant rumbling from
France. A tax on bachelors In order
to bonus other mems babies!
Great Heavensi" they mutter,
this thing might get to England any
day now.
There is no talk OF forming a 1921
bachelors club. In such circum-
-tances, unity. instead of making
them strong, only makes them con-
spcuous. Bachelors no longer pose
as irresponsible, care'free devils,
dingling money. The fear Of taxation
Il driving them into matrmony and
IL any babies are to be bonussed
they intend TO be the fathers OF
them, rather than the bachelor sup
porters of them.
AT the present rate of marriage,
when the time comes for the Com
missions of Inland Renue to levy
their tax on Bachelors, it Is mere
than likely tho papers will be re-
turned marked:
@There amt no such things
