Is declared to be unsatisfactory by the
Mail of that oity, which suspects that II
was dictated largely by a desire to shirs
responsibility. Perhaps the Nails sus-
picion may be correct, yet 1t is by no
means certain that the committee's de-
clsion which amounts to turning the
question over to tbs people OF Watsrville
TO settle by new election Is, on the
whole, the wissst one possible. The
truth is that the case was a very COM
plicated one. and 1t was by no means
clear what the intention of the majority
OF. the voters Was. This being so, perhaps
the fsirest way is to give them an op-
portunity to express themselves SO that

LABOR ORGANIZATIONS.

those who are subservient to his will.
If there are any laws now in force that
are contrary to the interests of labor,
or if there will be any passed in the
future to place restrictions upon labor
unions, it is the fault of the working
class and the remedy lies with it. This
is a government of the people, and if it
is not government for the people it
is the fault of the voters and not of
those who govern by strength of
political power. If federal Judge
issues an injunction abridging the
rights the constitution gives to the
people, the people can retaliate by
impeaching the judge. Labor unionists
have made great deal of protest
against what they call government by
injunction. Who appoints these federal
judges? The president. Who elects
the president? The people. There is
the whole thing simmered down. The
people are supreme in this country and
if they do not govern it is because they
have not the sense to realize their
power.
Every few months the industries of
the country are injured by conflict
between capital and labor; commerce
is retarded to certain degree, the
various channels of business are
clogged and in some cases physical
suffering results. Sometimes labor
scores a point or two but generally
capital is the victor, and the absurdity
of it all is that in another month or
two the same battle is fought all over
again with the same unsatisfactory
results. Perhaps sometime in the
distant future the American working
man will be brought to realize the full
value of his political strength and
become, what he is in fact, sovereign

Some Advice.

There are many ways to ruin; some
slow, some fast, others painful and
again some seemingly delightful. But
no matter what the variations in the
route one chooses, the ending is the
same. Some bolster themselves up
with the belief that they have the
mental force and physical strength to
not put their foot forward in the
direction of vice beyond the border
from whence there can be no retracing.
This class proudly boasts that they
possess much strength of character, all
forgetful of the lesson taught by the
moth and the flame.
When we begin to tolerate an evil
we soon embrace it and travel apace.
The one who views thing with alarm
and is not too conscious of his power
to defy the ravages of evil habits has
chosen the way to a happy existence.
Even nations fall through arrogant
pretentions of power, hence it is better
to know your own weakness.
The person who grasps the signifi-
cance of what is told him is the one
who finds life's pathway free from
perplexities. By far too many people
have fallen into the habit of listening
listlessly to what is being told them.
Advice to them is like the process of
breathing, that is, they take it in and
exhale it at the next turn instead of
treasuring it up to be utilized with
profit to themselves. There are few
people who have developed into failures
through being neglected. The cause
of their downfall and ruin can usually
be attributed to failure to attach any
Importance to the advice of their
seniors. The person who is alert and

A Review of "Active
Service" "

N MOUSlNG over the front pages
of Stephen Cranes charming
i novel, "Active Service" we found
on one of the pages the words
"a Poor Book" presumably scrawled
therein by some one who had read the
book and thus sententiously expressed
what he thought of the book. We
have read the book and were unable to
detect anything poor about it. If this
profound and highly able critic came
to this conclusion after he had care
fully perused the book, his judgment
will never be valued very highly, at
least not after he has rendered a few
weighty decisions like the above; for
such an injustice repudiates all claim
to the forum of honest, broadminded
criticism.
"Active Service" is an exceptionally
good realistic book, notwithstanding
the adverse opinion handed down by
the unknown reader. Undoubtedly y
the gentleman was not in harmony
with its contents, or, because of the
scarcity of tragedy and buckets of
gore, villains who ate their victims
and picked their teeth with railroad
ties, Indians and bars, he hastily came
to the conclusion that it was weak and
worthless. Perhaps he had tired
feeling and rushed through the book
like one-eyed fly, who had been there
before, speeds its way across sheet of
tanglefoot sticky fly paper, with its
mouth so watery for the sticky sugar
that it has to keep it's jaws closed in
order to prevent the lower teeth from
floating away.
To the obtuse reader it may be poor
book, but to the observing it is a
remarkably clever book. Its diction is
elegant and fresh in tone. Its pages
are garlanded with many bright gems
of sparkling wit. It's quaint love
episode is delightfully."- realistic, sweet
and winning, and ends naturally. Its
hero, Rufus Coleman, a newspaper man,
acts quite as other people would act,
very modest and unassumlng as to his
achievements and conquests. The story
opens with an interview between the
heroine and her father, professor of
science in New York, wherein she tells
him the old story of love and being
loved. The gentleman forbids the
young newspaper manager to enter
his home, and denies his daughter the
privilege of seeing hic. In order to
completely sever all ties between them
he hastily organizes q class party and,

THE KING IN THULE.

Reigned monarch once in Thule,
Constant even to the grave,
Whom his mistress, loving truly,
When she died the goblet gave.
Naught on earth so highly prizing,
Oft he drained it mid his peers,
And as oft her image rising
Made his fond eyes gush with tears.
So, his last when he was breathing
Summed he his possessions up,
Freely to his heirs bequeathfng
Towns and tOwers-but not her cup.
With his knights and barons loyal
To the banquet hall came he,
Down there in the castle royal
Of his fathers, by the sea.
There the old carouser swallowed
One deep draught to brace his blood,
Then, with trembling hand, that hallowed
Chalice flung upon the flood.
Dropped his old eyes. wan and winking,
AS he marked it in the main,
Splashing. shivering, filling, sinking,
Never drank he drop again.

War.

prisoner at Gravelotte. The treatment
he received at the hands of his Prussian
captors would have disgraced a race of
savages and when knew of it swore
that l would deal out the same treat
ment to the first Prussian officer who
fell into my hands. You are the first.'
Pausing a moment to note the effect
of his words, the marquis continued:
"When my son was led to the rear of
the Prussian army, because he did not
walk fast Prussian trooper kicked
him like this"-and stepping over
to the colonel the marquis kicked him
several times, viciously. The colonel
cried out with rage and pain and
started to rise to his feet.
''Sit down." said the marquis, hurting
the unfortunate officer back in the
chair. Then he continued: "My son
tried to resist, just as you have done,
whereupon another Pfussian spat in
his face like this"-and bending over,
the marquis spat in the colonel's face,
"and struck him like this"-reaching
over the marquis rained a series of
violent blows on the Prussian officers
countenance. The colonel, with bleed
ing lips and white face, covered back
in the chair, trembling in every limb.
But he was not trembling from fear.
The marquis continued: "My son
losing all control of himself seized the
nearest object and felled the Prussian
trooper. Your brave Prussians decided
to hang him, so they brought a rope
like this,' the marquis stamped on the
floor and three peasants entered with
rope. "Throw it over that beam,
Pierre" said the marquis, pointing to
huge wooden beam near the ceiling.
The peasant with the rope tossed one
end deftly over.
cite it around his neck" The
peasants seized the colonel and ad-
justed the moose over his head. The
colonel stood quite still during the
operation. The deathly pallor of his
face was terrible. The marquis con-
tinued:
81 see by the movement of your lips
that you are praying. Just so my son
prayed when he believed his last hour
had come. A Prussian commander,
however, prevented him from being
hanged, as L now prevent you. Take
the moose off, Pierre" The peasant
took it off.
"Afterwards," continued the marquis,
ga German surgeon dressed my sons
wounds as I will now dress yours if
you will allow me. Will you allow
me?" he asked in mock tenderness, as
he produced a basin of water and a
towel from behind the fireplace. "Kill
me but do not mock me-" groaned the
colonel. Gas you WILL" said the
marquis. 81 am merely giving you
what your countrymen gave my son."
After a pause he went on: "We will
now conclude this little drama-my
son was exchanged shortly after and
is now with me, therefore you can
return to your beer drinking, swinish
countrymen and tell them of the
Marquis de Champ Meliers, who
always pays his debts. Now goY' and
he pointed sternly to the door.
And this was how it came that the
colonel of Prussian regiment stag
gered into camp at a. m., drenched
and bleeding and raving incoherently.
The next day Prussian regiment
went to search the chateau. It was
empty. LEO
