Apostrophe to Dad.

We happened in a home the other
night, and over the parlor door saw the
legend worked In letters of red, What
is home without a mother" Across
the rooms was another brief, God
bless our home
Now, what is the matter with God
Bless Dad?" He gets up early, lights
the fires. boi1s an egg and wipes the
dew of the lawn with his boots while
many a mother is sleeping. He makes
the weekly handout for the butcher,
the milkman, the baker, and his little
pile is badly worn before he has been
home an hour.
If there is q noise during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made to
go down stairs and find the burglar
and kill him. Mother darns the socks,
but dad bought the socks in the first
place and the needles and the yarn af-
forwards. Mother does up the fruit;
well, dad bought it all and jars and
sugar cost like the mischief.
Dad buys the chicken for the Sun
day dinner, oarves it himself and
draws the neck from the ruins after
every one is served. What is home
without mother?" Yes. that is all
right; but what is home without a
father?"
Ten chances to one it's q boarding
house-father is under a slab and the
land}ady is the widow. Dad, here's to
you-you've got your faults-you may
have many of 'em--but you're all right
and we will miss you when you are
gone.-The Earth.

Foolish War Talk.

The men who are talking of the pos
sibility of war with Japan as though
it were right at our door, are talking
very fooIshly. War is possible in only
one contingency, and that is that ia
pan wants 1t and is deliberately trying
to force it on this country. As yet
there is nothing whatever to support
this theory. We think, therefore, that
little weight should be given to the
alarmfst utterances of Senator Per-
kins and Captain Hobson, who tell us
that sooner or later war with Japan
is inevitable Nor do we feel that it
is necessary for us to be much con-
oerned about a plan of campaign in
volplng the az. : .1io ss-lr Pa
enc possessions. Doubtless if war
should come in the near future it would
be necessary for US temporarily to
withdraw from the Philippines, and
possibly from the Hawaiian islands. 1t
may also be admitted that there is al
ways a chance for war with Japan, as
there is for war with any other power
But that is the utmost that any man
who keeps his senses will admit.
However, there are two things that
we ought to make up our minds to-
One is that we can not-nor ought We
to wish to do so-treat the Japanese as
we have treated Chinese. AT least we
can not do 1t without bringing trouble
on ourselves The California attitude
toward these people cannot be the atti-
tude of the nation. The thing is i'm
possible.
The Japanese are a proud. sensitive
and high-spirited people, and they are
convinced that they are our equals in
every particular. We owe Japan the
same just treatment that we owe Great
Britain France or Germany. 1t is time
that we understood this and acted ac-

HEAVY BLOW TO BURNS
His Window Glass Workers Union
Loses Three Factories. All Who
EMPLOYED His Men.

Hartford City, Ind. Feb. 4. - The
bitter war between the Amalgamated
Window Glass Workers association
and the Simon Burns union, known as
L. A. 300 j. Of L.. which has been
waged for the past two years, came to
a sudden and unexpected end when
the Johnston Glass company, operating
two factories here and one at indie
pendence, Kan, signed the wage scale
Of the Amalgamated association. These
three factories. it IS said, were the only
ones giving employment to members OF
the Burns organization.
Inability of the Burns union to FUR
nish men to operate the plant at In
dependence, Kan, and factory No. at
this place caused the company to sus-
pend operations at both places, using
the men to operate plant No. in this
city. Important concessions granted
the company by the Amalgamated as
ISOLATION and the desire to operate all
Of its plants caused President ]. r.
Johnston, of the glass company, TO sign
the Amalgamated scale.

Automatic Safety Signals.

We believe that automatic signal ap-
paratus has been made practically per-
feet and that when located according
to scientific principles (Which require
full consideration of traffic and physical

fcations it can be depended upon never
to indicate safety when danger exists
The signals themselves are made of
such form and size and may be so To-
Gated with respect to each other and
to the track that they can be easily
seen, and they operate to give a certain
indication whether it is safe to pro
coed. The locomotive. however, is con-
trolled by human agency and can not
be made automatic When the engine
driver sees there is danger ahead he
instinctively reaches to apply the
brakes and shut off the steam. It Is
when he does not see or can not see
that the best Of automatic signals be-
come powerless to prevent accidents.
If the signal can be made to reach
down or up and apply the air brakes in
spite of the engineman; to make The

Cheer Up" the Text.

Sunday morning and commissioned his

attention to the announcement of the

text?"

The father questioned him closely.
He had never seen anything like that
IN his Bible. But the boy insisted that
he had correctly quoted the text as
given out by the preacher. The father
called on the preacher soon and learned
that the text he had preached upon
was this:

Collision That Might Have Pre-.

edy for the News.
STEAMER AND BARK COLLIDE
Bark Laden with Lumber and T.
Nearly Cut in Two.

with head winds and heavy seas for
seventeen days, and when within a
few hours of her destination. the bark

lumber from Savannah to New York.
was run into and sent to the bottom
by the Old Dominion steamer Seneca
at night, four miles off Sea Girt, Y. ].
The collision occurred in Il dense fog.
No one was injured and no lives We're
lost. 1t was with great difficulty that
the men of the steamer who put off In
lifeboats succeeded in reseuing Captain
Fl. Debuhr and his crew OF nine men
from the sinking bark. At one time
boat from the Seneca, containing six
men became lost in the haze and was
not picked up again until after two
hours of persistent search.
No Time to Change Course.
There was stiff wind blowing ana
heavy sea on, but the fog was so
thick that the two vessels were not
seen by each other until too late to
avert the collision. Captain Debuhr
blames the Old Dominion liner for the
sinking of his craft, while the master
of the Seneca puts the responsibility
upon the shoulders OF the Loring's skip
per. The crash occurred at the supper
hour, and the dining saloon Of the SEN
eca was crowded. When through the
fog the Seneca was seen bearing hown
on the bark there was no time for put
ting about.
Bark Nearly Cut in Two.
The collision was almost immediate.
The bark was nearly torn III twain
and the glass in the Seneeas dining
room was shattered. A panic among
the passengers Of the Seneca was
quelled by the officers and crew. Life
boats were Immediately put off by the
| steamer. Calls for help could be heard
through the fog and the rescuers hur-
rfed TO the side Of the Loring. The
bark was making water rapidly. Her
cargo Of lumber probably prevented
her going down with all hands before
help could have reached her. Wreckage
had made 1T impossible to get away
/ her lifeboat.
Ships Cat Went Down with Her.
Within one hour after the collision
the Loring was not quite submerged,
and the only sign Of life on her then
was the ships cat which had sought q
place of safety in the rigging and could
not be persuaded to come down. A dog
was saved with the crew. Before leay-
ing the wreck the Seneca placed q
warning light on her, but she is di-
rectly in the path Of coastwise naviga-
ton and dangerous derelict. Inyes-
tigation shows that the bow plates Of
the Seneca were badly stove in above
the water line and much glass was
broken, but otherwise the vessel was
uninjured.
