the sickness came while the words were vet

modest perhaps he attached an undue i'm

we're deeply tinged with blue; that he fell back

not his lips; that he loved sincerely and with
a cOnstancy Unwavering.
Those who knew Jones in his early days found
in him a source Of Inerriment Poor chap!
Every shaft of cheap village wit found him
vulnerable and when he struck back which
was not often, he did it with such gentleness
and awkwardness that he appeared quite ridicu-

NATIONAL CIVIC FEDERATION.

Meeting In Chicago-Questions OF Labor
and Capital VIII he Considered.
Special Corresponds ce of The Florida Star.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1O.-Last fall at the
trust conference held under the aus
pices OF the Civic Federation OF Chi
cago the question OF fokming national
civic federation along the same lines as
the eminently successful Chicago Or
ganization Was discussed. In June Of
this year the discussion bore fruit, and
the National Civic Federation was or
ganized- In few days the federation
will meet here, and the open discussion
or some OF the problems that are yex-
Ing the United States may point the
way to their solution.
The federation Is bipartisan and
very wide I'm It's scope. 1t Is intended
by Its founders that nothing that has a
bearing. direct or indirect. on the well
fare OF our country shall be neglected.
The prospectus OF the organization. is
sued last June, states its objects to be
''to provide for study and discussion OF
questions OF national import affecting
either the foreign or domestic policy OF

Ii will readily be seen that the Inten-
lions OF the federation II carried into

OF the country. Its parent organlZa-
ton, the Civic Federation OF Chicago,

years, has done much for local i'm
provement. since II is composed Of the
best citizens OF the city. 1t Is proposed
to make OF its prototype. the national

In national affairs that the local feder-
alton has been In Chicago affairs.
The need OF such an organization is

labor bodies. the financiers. the ecOnO-

OF social science and the conditions OF
American life. Among those who have
commended it are the late Charles

lean Social Science association. and j.
w. jerks. the political economist OF
Cornell university. Professor jerks
has expressed the opinion that the car
rying out of the aims OF this ass0cia-
ton would be OF untold benefit to the
voters throughout the country.
At the coming meeting OF the fedora
ton many questions OF grave import
connected with the internal and for
eign policy or the United States and
others concerning subjects OF social
and economic Importance viii be dis
cussed. Many OF the most prominent
or American students and investigators
OF these subjects will be heard, and it
will be strange II satisfactory solutions
OF some at least OF the problems con-
fronting our people are not reached in
this and succeeding conferences. One
OF the questions uppermost in the
minds Of Chicago people and OF grave
import TO the other sections OF the
country Is the successful arbitration Of
strikes. Chicago has suffered much
through the great strike in the building
trades. Many OF the best known labor
leaders OF the United States will be
here during the meeting. Among those
who have accepted invitations to par
ticipate are Carroll ID. Wright. the
United States commissioner OF labor;
John Mitchell. who conducted the re-
cent strike OF the coal miners and who
will doubtless relate his experiences
during that struggle. and Samuel Com
pers. the well known labor leader. In its
call for the coming meeting the fedora
tiOn says that strikes and lOckOuts are
perhaps a greater waste OF human en-
ergy and responsible for greater loss
OF wealth to society as a whole than
any other obstructive factor connected
with modern industrialism.
