It ib a large problem that Charles
Stelzle is putting up to the readers
in church progress, including the
question of whether such a matter is
or ever can be a subject for united
church action. It is the old issue of
"the tainted dollar" in a new form.
A New Yorker has just spent three
months in jail for stealing a 60-cent
piece. At that rate there are many
New Yorkers who deserve life sen
tences. The Wilson administration is .going
t be a success in one way at least.

For several years there has been a
usade in this country against tho
isy enters of soup. In many cafes
cheslras have been hired to drown
t the soup inhalers, while several
niuscs have invented noiseless soup
oons. In spite of these efforts, how

After presonal observations in Col
orado, Charles Stelzle puts a burden
of responsibility on American church
es for solution of the internal prob
lem in the American west. He speaks
with the authority from experience
as a workingman and as a church
man of national repute.
"The revolution in America," is the
way he phrases the deplorable situa
tion, as the title of a newspaper ar
ticle. He reviews the facts familiar
to the public and charges arbitrary
use of power through state channels
at the behest of the Rockefeller cor
poration, the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company. Without excusing either
party, ho holds that acts reprehens
ible have been committed on both
sides of the controversy. He calls
attention to the slaughter of women
and children during the bitter strug
gle and then discusses "the direct re
sponsibility of the state and church."
As to the state he believes that the
jworkingnien who were urgedl to use
'"ballots, not bullets," used ballots at
tho polls for years and then when de
feated in their plans, after the people
of the state by a majority of 40,000
had approved a constitutional amend
ment, because vested interests had

Washington Memorial At Cambridge.
Cambridge, Mass., July 2. Having
followed the route taken by George
Washington on his historic ride from
Philadelphia 139 years ago, to take
charge of the continental army here,
three members of the Sons of the
American Revolution arrived here to
day to lead in unveiling a memorial
tablet. The men who have followed
Washington's route, and! unveiled tab
lets at each point where Washington
stopped are Brigadier General Philip
Reader, U. S. A., retired; Edwin S.
Crandon, Boston, and Henry F. Pon
derson, of Springfield, Mass. Today's
celebration, held under the famous
' Old Elm Tree," was attended by
Cambridge and Boston city officials
and by representatives of Massachusetts.
