Work Will Save the World.

There have been many in these later
days who. like Kipling, have written
of a heaven where we shall labor leach
for the Joy of the working" but few
of us seem to realize that that heaven
is with us, even now. There is no
greater happiness in life than unselfsh-
ness, and no unselfishness is SO great,
so satisfying, 50 complete AZ the un-
selfish putting OF the best of our mind,
our heart. our love. our soul into the
work we have To do,
And the great reward is not in mon-
ey, or position; in fame or baubles; in
titles or ribbOnS-the reward is in our
selves. We find the reward i'm pro-
portion as we lose ourselves In our
work. From the very beginning when
God created the world for the use OF
man, to the time when He gave his
only Sun to be the Great Worker for
the goodness and happiness OF man.
kind, has this been true-lt shall be
true unto the end, for by Work alone
can the world ever win salvation.-

The report of State Labor Commits
Sioner Mccormack for 1908 will show
the year to have been comparatively
quiet in Indiana, as far as labor diff
culties were concerned.
The year has seen about one hun.
dred strikes, none of which, the re-
port will say, was of large import
The largest body of men that went out
was in the strike Of the employees of
the National Car and Foundry compa-
ny, two months ago, at JeffersonvilIe.
The differences, however, 10 this case,
were settled amicably.
The most generally advertised la
bpr trouble of the year, Mr.. McCor-
madk says, was the lockout last sum-
mer at the Gemmer pump-works in
Marion. This difficulty, be says, was
of little Importance, but elaborated
stories were started by persons un-
friendly to the labor unions. Only
about thirty men were out in that
trouble. These men refused to work
while they were waiting instructions
from the national union as to whether
they should 60 to work IN the factory
after it had been declared an s.open

He is gratified to see among the In

and to see that they are damaging to
themselves, the employer and the
community.

KILLED AT DONALDSON
Buggy Demolished By Fast Train and
Miss Grace Myers Killed.

Christmas Eve. Henry Myers, aged
Is, with his sister aged Is, and Miss
Maude Covert aged Is, left their home
three fourths of mile south of Don
aldson to attend the Christmas enter
tainment at Donaldson. They we're
in buggy drawn by two horses and
driving merrily along reached the
railroad crossing at Donaldson just
before seven O'Clock and did not see
the fast train from the east which was
behind time and running mica
minute, until the horses were on the
track. Miss Covert realized the dam
ger jumped from the buggy and es-
capped unhurt The nerses crossed the
track, but the pilot struck the buggy
completely demolishing 1t. Miss
Myers was thrown about 60 feet, one
limb waa broken. her body badly
bruised and her skull fractured. She
lived an hour and twenty minutes but
was unconscious and not able TO speak.
Her brother was thrown about fifty
feet and was badly hurt but no bones
are broken and he will recover. 1t is
said that the train did not whistle as
it approached the crossing.
Miss Myers is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George Myers who moved
from Argos to farm near Donaldson
last March. She was bright amiable
girl and her parents have the sympathy
of everybody in this hour Of greatest
sorrow.
Funeral services were conducted at
Donaldson Sunday at 1000 a. m, and
the remains were taken to Argos for
interment.

The Indianapolis News thus states
the Panama situation clearly and sue
cinctly: A canal across the ISthmus
of Panama is a necessity to this coun-
try-is of vast importance TO the civ
ilized world. This country must
build it and control it. 1t cannot and
will not allow a semi-civilized, or i'm
potent or grasping handful of men OF
whatever blood TO block this great
purpose. Tha. is all there is TO the
situation, practically considered, and
the great common sense of our people
and of the nations of Europe recognize
that. Colombia had her opportunity
to accept a proper and advantageous
treaty, she threw it back on US with
apparent scorn-eyidently imagining
the game entirely In her hands and
that she could drive any bargain she
pleased. This country would not be
held up and promptly seized the
chance offered by the revolution and
secession of Panama.

told by the Goshen Democrat:
Charles Rigney. of Goshen, %, and
Harry Swartz, of Elkhart, "a, who

one to three years each.
Harry Searles. %, who burglarized
the Burrell & Morgan mill Office and
secured 50 cents, was sentenced from
two to fourteen years and disfran-
chised for one year.
What mistake these fellows made.
Why didn't they loot a county treas
ury and be made much of and get
year or two in prison and all kinds of
partisan sympathy?
Why didn't they 'iose" or "mis-
lay" a few thousands Of school funds
and give swarm of attorneys job

not the s'losers thereof?
Again. why not get busy and loot
or mismanage big bank and break
up half dozen concerns, cause a few
suicides, break up all pubiic confidence
and create general misery?
It seems quite certain that the

we said the other day that the sim

searching for tho truth; and that Is
peculiarly true of this ago. because there
are In the world to-day more sincere and
sensible men than have lived In any other
age. They are hunting for the TRUTH for
the sufficient reason that nothing else Is
worth hunting for, for the sufficient rea-
son that nothing else will do to tie to.
But 1t Is one thing TO search for the
truth and find It, and another thing to
declare 1t when 1T has been found. Search
implies Industry and patience and palms,
taking. but to declare the truth some-
times requires courage and even sacri-
Ace Men have been killed for declaring
the truth.
