Building for others.


What If build for others.
Aud the walls OF the building stand
Long after am forgotten
BY the dwellers within the land.
Long after the buildings have crumblcd
That were founded upon the sand?
What ii build for others,
And the building shelters me not
And within the home have buided
| shall have no part or lot,
Aud the dwellers who have their home:
there
Through all the time shall know me uot2
Yet when the years shall have faded,
And beneath the roof trees shade,
The children of generations
In their childish days have played
And have passed from under the rool
tree
Aud vanished into the shsde
Some dwellers beneath the roof tree,
Thinking of when it was new.
May say as bis thoughts turn backward.
Keeping its age in view,
THE builder who built this building
Builded better than he knew.
And !, though have passed onward,
Hearing the Masters call,
May know, though it may not matter
To me what the building befall,
1t is better to have builded Tor others
Than not to have built at all.

THE THISTLE or SCOTLAND.
Listen, all boys who care to hear
Of patriotic deed,
How once valiant little plant
Its country served in need.
When hardy Dane fought sturdy Scot
Could hold his own In fght,
A well eoncotted plot he laid
His camp to storm at night.
Watchfui and silent orept the Dane
Over the soft peat sod,
Till one brave youth with naked feet
Upon thistle trod.
Then with such will the thistle stung,
The youth cried out in pain,
With nightly shout aud bloody rout,
The Scot drove back the Dane.
And this is why TO Scotland's sons
The thistle since is dear,
This why they chose it as their badge
To carry and revere.

ment in regard to dealing with it.
But nothing is more certain than that
society must come to an agreement
that the traffic must be prohibited and
outlawed, just as other kindred evils.
This cannot be done by mere restraint
In spite of all license, high and low,
the evil current sweeps on, carrying
before it its accommodating wreck and
destruction. This will continue until
the current is stopped. License does
not do this, any more than dams
across a stream will stop the flow of
water to the ocean. Dry up the

run dry. Prohibit the liquor traffic

Don't Send Ny Boy Where Your Girl
Cant Go,


Don't send my boy where your girl can't go.
And say: There's no danger for boys you
know,
Because they all have wild oats to SOW
There is no more excuse for my boy to be
low
Than your girl. Then please do not tell
him so.
This worlds old lie is boys worst foe
To heaven or hell they both must go.
Don't allow him to go Into places of sin,
And then to your hearts ana homes take
him in,
Saying: "Oh, for a boy there is nothing
And it don't matter much if he does drink
He will stop by and by-it was always
All men and boys have wild oats to sow I"
You tell them this, and they think it is So
Not foreseeing that, sown, those seeds will
grow.
To them the harvest is hidden from view
Until, too late, the sowing they rue,
For at last their horror-struck souls will
see
What the outcome of sowing wild oats
Will be.
Don't send my boy where your girl cant
go;
For boy or girl. sin is sin, you know.
And my baby boys hands are as clean
and as white,
And his heart is as pure as your girls
tonight.
That which sends a girl to the pits Of hell
VIII send my boys soul there as well.

The liquor traffic is a greater evil,
and more destructive of all human
good than slavery and the war.
The war ragged four years, costing
many lives and much treasure; but
the liquor traffic goes on through the
generations in its deadly, corrupting
work, carrying to ruin and to death
large armies of men every year, leav-
ing pauperized and degraded families.
There is general assent to its evil
character and deadly work, but there

THE RlaaER THE sAnnER-

The EVENING JOURNAL Is not pro
tectionist in any sense, to any degree, or
for any purpose. II a business or an en-
terpise needs protection, or defense, or
anything more than the fair, free chance
that belongs to all alike, everywhere,
then 10 Is a self confessed failure.
1t is a well-establlshed principle IN
law, commerce. philosophy and morals
that Providence helps those who help
themselves. Providence cannot inter
fere to help q man who cannot or will
not helm himself Providence does not
excuse a man who will not help himself;
commerce does not allow profits to ac
crue to his business
That may seem a hard rule on partiou-
lar men but contrary policy IS harder ON
those whose labor or wealth Is taken
from them to support him.
II does not alter the case IN the least,
by whatever pretext this principle is
invaded or violated. The result Is the
same The law of taking the talent
from the man who buries Il and giving
it TO the man who uses it is divine, phil
osophic and just. Any law contrary
thereto, no matter how, or by whom
urged, is unjust and wrong 10 is not
advocated by wisdom and fairness but
by sophistry and selishness.
Those truths are as eternal as the
hills; as steady i'm their course as the
sun. For the application of them a
man must have clean hands and a
pure heart
It does not matter whether multi
millionaire comes urging national pro
lection by the laws Of Congress for
the steel industry; or small and
pesly speculator asks the people and
the newspapers of a small community
to remain profoundly silent while he
obtains credit as high-hyer, aud
negleots to pay his little bills about
town Both prey upon the community;
the latter in a small way, the former
