Editorial Ink Drops. WORK IS A BLESSING.

Joaquin Miller, in little crisp poem, "The Right to Fight" says:
 "Give me the right to fight, to toll;
 To till the soil, or sod;
 To fight without the thought of spoil
 To guide the world with God" The Idea of working with God in guiding mundane affairs. within the limit of mans capacity, has inspiration in it. The author closes the poem with this
 "The very dog will dig, l give
 My compliments to dogs.
 The only lazy things that live,
 Are dudish men and hogs" He could have stopped at "dudish men," for dig in their natural state.
 Work is a blessing. If labor was originally put upon man as punishment tor disobedi. ence it has become the great blessing of hu. manity by adaptation.
 It is only n curse to those who shrink. That which Is irlSsome to the lazy is happiness to the active. Some seek idleness as q luxury, but like other luxuries 1t proves unsatisiying. What might have been under other providen. ces we know not, but in the present condition of our race all real good Is attained by labor. The stars do not come down to men, but men may climb to the stars, in sense by effort. The climbing is healthful, and the attainment happiness. Our physical, mental and moral furnishings are strengthened by labor, and our capacity tor enjoyment enhanced. The ac- tive. in all the relations of lite only get out o Ita aII Ia. Ia {t I {o 1,,,r den only to the lazy and wicked.
 When business Is dull and work scarce there is much to do that may prove stored happi- ness. Read; learn something new. Lay up will pay a future percentage.

Claughry cannot refuse to tell the
circumstances in which his resigna-
ton of the wardenship was forced by
"Boss" Jones. That would be a
starting point. In other ways also
the ex-warden could throw a great
deal of light on the peculiar methods
of the ring that has had the prison in
its clutches during the administers
