Is one OF them"
So said Lieut. Col. George r. Cros-
field OF London, who, as president Of
Fidac, the interallied federation Of
veterans. visited this country In May
under the auspices OF the American
Legion, American member Of Fidac.
Colonel Crosheld, who came to

Legion, visited New York city. Phil

headquarters OF the Legion is located.
Colonel Crosneld Is an outstanding
hero Of the World war. In the fierce
lighting at Ypres In 1915, he lost a
leg, yet undaunted. he applied to try
for commission In the Royal British
Flying corps, won the commission and
was headed for the front again when
the armistice was signed.
Colonel Crosheld's soldering began
long before the World war. He saw
service in the South African war and
served In the volunteers and territori-
ais for 81 years. He went to France
as second in command Of the Fourth
South Lancashire regiment, and for 1S
months was engaged in the persistent
lighting in the Ypres sector.
Colonel Crosfeld was very active In

Exhibitions Of Bad Psychology
Displayed by Religious Bodies
A Sound Editorial From the New Haven, Conn.,,
Journal Courier October s, 1926

from the forum of a Christian asso-
citation cannot in any conceivable way
cross the delicate line of irreverence
or produce results which do not every
day reach the public eye in the daily
press. These men have a philosophy
to preach which is not so out of har-
mony with Christian ethics as to bar
them from formally ordained houses
OF worship. Ones mind reverts in
stlnctively to the fact that it was the
Nazarene who drove the money
changers out of the temple.
Why the sons of toll should be ex-
cluded from the expression of that
which every intelligent man should
want to know all about, in order that
he may evaluate social changes at
their real character, passes our com.
prehension. We know of no other
way OF accumulating knowledge than
TO search for it in all corners of civ
llIzation. No one corner holds it.
There is, too, the effect of these un-
kindly acts on the church, and it's
Christian subsidiaries, to be consider
ed. These labor leaders and follow
ers have souls to both save and con-
serve even though they are not in en-
tire sympathy with industrial condi-
tons and the general structure of So
.ciety.
1t is not necessary to agree with
them in their outlook upon life; it is
wise to talk them over in friendly
mood for in no other way will a solu-
ton of the general problem be found.
10 shut them out-especially out of
the houses of God-as if they were
anathema to all truth is a form of
madness which is to be profoundly re-
GREETED. And the pity of it is at this
particular period in the history of the
country that this act of arbitrary ex-
cluslon comes when the leadership of
the federation was never on firmer
economic grounds.
Mr.. Gompers led his following
more wisely than Mr.. Powderly led
his, and, In consequence, the labor
movement has been moving steadily
along more convincing lines.
Mr.. Green, the successor of Mr..
Gompers, has pitched his flag on an
even higher eminence of constructive
thought. There are still corners to be
rounded and highways to be levelled
before complete harmony is reached.
but the important fact is that the
present leadership is showing more
and more a better understanding of
the social and economic values in
yolved in the struggle between capi-
tai and labor.
Refusing both hospitality and fell
lowship in the way prepared at De-
troit cannot be viewed otherwise than
as serious error in Judgment, invit-
ing a reaction which can only do harm
where good might have been done.
Locking the doors of the church t)
those who seek an entrance on a
peaceful even though a controversial
errand not only causes one to reflect
disturbingly upon the spirit of intol-
erance revealed where tolerance
should alone reside but to deeply re-
gret that so good an opportunity to
understand one another was stupidity
neglected.

COmmendable Action

An officer is now on the look
out ON Granville street near the
st. Francis de Sales school, at
the time the pupils are dismiss
ed, to guard against any acci-
dent which might occur through
carelessness on the part of pu-
pills in crossing this much trav-
Seled thoroughfare.
Too many car drivers are apt
to neglect proper precautions in
a mad rush to beat the traffic
light just below the school, and
the safety of children, especially
the small ones, is seriously
threatened thereby. The pres
ence of an officer proves a de-
cided check on this practice, anil
having q man on duty is most
commendable practice.
A similar rule could be fol-
lowed at the Central school
building, where many little chill
dren are in the habit of rushing
helter skelter across the street
when school is dismissed.

Would 1t Make En- Vote

Every American citizen should
be proud of the privilege con-
ferred upon him and go to the
polls on election day and vote
for the person who in his judg-
ment is best qualified for the
position to which he aspires.
Yet it is a fact that of up
wards of fifty million qualified
electors in the United States,
less than fifty per cent were suf-
ficiently interested in 1924 to
go to the polls and vote. And
that was a Presidential year,
too.
This year, judging from the
evident apathy existing, and
from the great number in the
large cities who failed to regis
ter, the list of absentees will be
much larger than it was two
years ago.
There is no higher duty re-
quired, or greater privilege con-
ferred on citizen than to take
the part the Constitution gives
him in selecting officials, especi-
ally those who legislate for the
people. He must register and
vote if he expects his rights to
be protected in any legislation
that may be enacted.
For a man so Indifferent, so
lacking in a realization of his
bounden duty that he fails to ex-
ercise his right of suffrage some
measures should be resorted to
to make him do his part. Many
men, despite their objections,
are forced to serve on juries, so
why could not these slackers
who side-step their duty on cleo
ton day be induced to toe the
mark or suffer the penalty?
IF after a voter had for a GER
tain period, say two or three
years, failed to cast his ballot,
he would be disfranchis-
ed, except a good valid excuse
was presented, it might be a
strong incentive to induce some
of the chronic stay-at-homes to
act in the manner which all true, |
loyal and honest American citi-
zens should consider a duty, |
privilege and pleasure, and go to
the polls on election day and cast
his ballot.
Let them vote for whom they |
choose, but let them vote, even |
though drastic measures have to |
be resorted to.

When it was learned many
weeks ago that the American
Federation of Labor was to hold
it's annual meeting at the city of
Detroit this year the local
churches and the Young Mems
Christian Association, either up
on their own initiative or at the
suggestion of others, invited
representatives of the organiza-
tion to address their member
ships on Sunday.
The invitation was accepted and
speakers were assigned to the differ
ent pulpits. 1t appears that when the
local board of trade learned Of the
arrangements it brought pressure up
on the churches and the association
to Withdraw their hospitality.
1t is very difficult to account for
these wretched exhibitions of bad
psychology. We hesitate to refer to
them as bad examples of an un-
Christian spirit though it is obvious
that they are not exactly striking
contributions to the spirit of Chris,
tian tolerance.
Why the churches should close their
doors, and the local Christian associa-
tions should close its doors, to a group
of law-abiding citizens who ask for
nothing more serious than to present
their side of the age-old controversy
over the relations of man and serv-
ant we cannot grasp.
We can, unfortunately, understand
the fear that holds many producers
that the slightest encouragement Civ
en- the leaders of union labor is sure
to result in disastrous consequences
to prosperity, without having the re-
motest sympathy with it. The pres
entation of the views of the labor

party, in the recent primary of that
state.
Labor shows no favoritism in it's
loyal and effective support of pro-
gressive candidates for public office"
the committee said. "In every state
and in almost every congressional dis
trict labor has decided upon its can
didates for the ensuing election. Par
tisan politics has had nothing to do
with that consideration.
"Labor's campaign is to defeat can
didates controlled by reactionary in
dustrial and financial interests and to
elect forward-looking candidates. In
this there must be no Sinking or
Stacking.
ACTIVE participation of all wage
earners in this non-partisan under
taking is imperative if our industrial
relations are to be freed from state
domination and from autocratic in
dustrial and financial control"
