It's autumn in the country remember.
How warm a wind blew here about the
~, ways!
And shadows on the hillsides lay to slum-
During the long sun-sweetened summer
days.
It's cold abroad the country remember.
The swallows veering skinned the golden
~ grain
At midday with a wing aslant and timber:
And the yellow cattle browsed upon the
plain.
It's empty down the country ] remember.
L had a sister lovely in my sight:
Her hair was dark; her eyes We're Very
sonber:
We sang together in the woods at night.
It's lonely in the country l remember.
The babble of our children fills my ears,
And on our hearth + stare the persisted
RIO flames that show ali starry thru my
tears.
It's dark about the country remember.
There are the mountains where I lived.
III The path
Is slushed with cattle tracks. and fallen
timber,
The stumps are twisted by the tempests'
wra tn.
But that knew these places are my own
Id ask how came such wretchedness to
cumber
The earth, and to people it alone

Irrevocable.

Colombia might as well resign her
self to her fate, the fate she has
brought upon herself. The announce
ment that in the canal treaty Win
the new republic the United States
undertakes to guarantee the independ-
ence of Panama, settles the question
for all time. There can be no. BACK
ward step now. ~
First, Colombia was notified that she
could not regain Panama Nv force OF
arms. Now, she has been notified that
she cannot regain the isthmus by con-
Citation. 2
The Panamans, comfortably nestled
under the protecting wings Of the
American eagle. have no inducements
of any kind to return to the Colon bian
fold For them there will be no more
bloody revolutions or civil wars. no
more business disorder, no more de,
preciated currency, no more .despot isn
in the name of repuhlicanisns They
will sit beside the great highway of
the worlds commerce and profit from
it. They will enjoy the protection,

public. Before them is peace and
prosperity in independence. Behind
them is disorder land depression in
union with Colombia.
Colombia shall cry in vain for her
lost state. The world moves swiftly
in these days, and the independence
|of Panama is as much a thing of the
irrevocable past as the cession of the
Philippines: Right or wrong, the. deed

The Baby Act.

It is deplorable that Wisconsin
should join Michigan in such an ex-
ceilent performance Of the baby act.
1t is Hard to understand why IVY iseorl-s
sin should so quickly accept Michi-2
gan's charges of rough play. and con-
vict Minnesota on ex. parte evidence.
The only explanation is that Wiscon-
sin, expects a hard fall on Thanksgiv-
ing day and is preparing a soft spot
on which to fall. It is too bad that
there should be SO much bad feeling
engendered between sthe two i11stitu-
tions, tho we must say that practically
all of the feeling is at Madison. The
situation is the harder for Minnesota
to endure. because the Michigan
charges. were unfounded and because
Minnesota is sincerely DESTROYS of
maintaining friendly relations with
both Michigan and wisconsin. Be
sides it. is not pleasant to go to- foot
ball games when it is known that the
opposing elevens entertain bitter feelI
ings toward each other. Fss&Ts

or take counsel together and afford
each other encouragement and sup
port in the matters that affect their
welfare? There are few such or.
sganizations, more or less effective, but
they bear no fair comparison with the
thoroness or strength OF the organiza-
ton among the wage-earners.
This may be regarded In some quar-
tiers as In advocacy Of preparation for
war and an invitation to conflict. Not
at all. The president OF the American
Federation of Labor himself has ex-
pressed approval of the organization
of employers as making for stability
In labor conditions. The conditions
in the Industrial world are not so very
different from those that obtain in the
relations of nations to each other.
How often has the argument been
offered that the possession of fas big
navy is not conducive, to. trouble, but
a guarantee Of peace! The nation
that is prepared to defend itself is
very much less likely to be obliged
to do SO. Where the industrial COM
munity is prepared to- defend itself
against unreasonable assaults, those
assaults are much less likely to be
made. The wage-workers have
learned this lesson. well. They have
come to believe that when they are
organized they can not only resist bet
ter the tendency to lower wages. but
can the more successfully demand a
larger share Of the Joint earnings Of
capital and labor. They are not like
~ to abandon their theory ofswhat is
good for them. The business men are
lacking in capacity to take care of
their interests if they do not make as
effective. use Of the same principle.
Such a movement tends to indus
trial peace. When the two*sides of a
controversy are@evenIy balanced, nets
thief is likely ito make unreasonable
demands Of the other, and the result
is more likely to be fair and just.

For Industrial Peace.

Mr.. Parry struck the nail on the
head when he said at st. Paul that
.It is largely due to the lack of par
ticipation by the general business ele-.
ments of the country in public affairs
that we find to-day the labor organiza-
tions representative of a minority of:
the working classes exercising an in
fuence over public thought and gov
ornamental policy that is out Of all
proportion to their importance.
But labor is not to be blamed if it
gets together and organizes and en-
pIoys the power which close organi-
cation gives to accomplish its ends. 1t
is only when improper use is made Of
that power that there is anything TO
find fault with. The offset to that IS
not opposition to labor organization.
That will accomplish nothing; The
remedy for the disadvantage, at which
business men sometimes find them
selves in their isolated, single-handed
contest with labor is to follow labor
example and be prepared to meet it
on even terms.
, The labor organizations of Mime
apolis claim membership Of $4,000
men and women. These various orr
CARNATIONS have regular stated times
for meeting and the members attend.
The questions affecting their interests
are discussed and plans formulated
and adopted for advancing their in
terests- The various branch organiza-
tons have a central Organization thru
which they are all affiliated. This is
all perfectly legitimate.
What have the business men to cor
respond with this compact organize
| ton of the tradesmen? Where are
!, their local organizations by trades and
their central body which embraces al
the various branches of business:
How often or how regularly do they
get together and discuss the questions
that bear directly upon the interests
/ of their several branches OF business
