YESTERD

1t Is not far to Yesterday,
And there we turn our eyes
To where the good, glad memories
In pleasing pictures rise.
The faded roses of today
Grow red and rich with dew,
And where gray clouds are spreading
We see the skies Of blue.
Just down the way is Yesterday
There sunshine always beams;
Today we close our eyes and see
Our Yesterday in dreams;
Today we hear the long-dead song,
And now we understand
Its cadence, and know why it made
Our Yesterday all grand.
A little way to Yesterday
Today may have its fears,
Yet Yesterday is filled with smiles,
Tomorrow has its tears
Today-tomorrow-what of them.
When we can find the way
That leads us to the golden land,
The land of Yesterday?
1t is not far to Yesterday,
With glamour Of the rose;
With haunting echo Of the song
That thrilled us to the close.
Tomorrow and today will lose
Their darkness and their gloom,
And each will soon be Yesterday
With melody and bloom.

he might want to. He simply reads

2SOME THINGS CAN BE DONE AS
WELL AS OTHERS"

tt Is not to be wondered mt that large
numbers of the people do not have
unlimited confidence in the infallibil-
1ty of courts. There Is widespread
feeling generally not justified by the
facts, that somehow the man who has
neither wealth nor "pulr'--and that
means 90 hundredthsA of the commu-
nifty, is the only one who gets under
the wheels of justice when they begin
to roll. Measured by results alone,
ahere is some color of reason In this
conclusion.
For instance. We have laws enough
against the trusts, The hard coal trust
notoriously and oppressively Is exist
Ing and operating in defiance of these
laws. And no prosecution Of the of
Tenders Is attempted or thought OF.
Even If a pretended blow at the
beef trust is struck, IL takes the harm
less form of civil action, and when
ahe papers are filed II Is left to die n
natural death, while the plundering
of the consumer goes merrily on.
THE conclusion is that the whole thing
5s politics and not punishment, and
80 1t is. But let some coal strikers,
pr their friends so much as meet to-
gether for the purpose OF promoting
what is q very practical and vital
kind OF politics TO them, and they are
met by the injunction of n court which
deprives them OF the commonest rights
of humanity, and which, literally
taken, would prevent man from at-
tending church, going for his mall,
or having his neighbors attend his
funeral. All this Is done by man
who holds life job, and who, there
fore, Is beyond the Influence of public
opinion and its restraints and Is ut
terly irresponsible for his acts, no
matter how arbitrary or oppressive in
any case they may be.
