IRISH JAuNTINa CARS.
They Are the Most Uncomfortable
Vehicles Imaginable


Vehicles Imaginable.
Ireland's vehicles are most uncom-
Portable, writes Willlem Il. Curtis.
One, which they call an excursion
car" an exaggerated jaunting car on
four wheels, drawn by two horses, with
seats for six passengers ON each side
and a cavity in the center between
them, opening from the end like a
hearse, In which the baggage Is car
ried. 1t Is one of the most uncomforta-
bic vehicles you can imagine. None of
the passengers can see more than half
the scenery, as they sit back to back
and face out toward either side of the
road. The ordinary jaunting car is
quite as awkward and uncomfortable,
and If you take drive to see the
scenery you have to go over the road
twice because you can see only half of
1t at time
There are three kinds Of jauntlng
cars-"outside cars" In which the
passengers sit back to back with their
feet on shelves over the wheels; "in-
side cars" in which they sit face to
face with their feet in the middle, and
single cars" which have one seat ac-
commodating two persons facing the
horse. The latter are the most COM
Portable Of all. but give the passenger
good shaking up, which we are told
is excellent for the liver.
1t is curious fact that the jaunting
car, although II is distinctly Irish,
and would not be tolerated in any
other country, was invented and intro
dnced by an Italian, Charles Blanconi,
a native of Milan, who arrived in Ire.

Grace Is the free gift to Adam

We Lay Us Down to sIeep.

We Lay Us Down to Sleep.
We lay us down to sleep,
And leave to God the rest;
Whether to wake and weep
Or wake no more be best.
Why vex our souls with care?
The grave is cool and low
Have we found life so fair
That we should dread to go?
We've kissed loves sweet, red lips,
And left them sweet and red;
The rose the wild bee sips
Blooms on when he is dead.
Some faithful friends we've found,
But they who love us best.
When we are under ground,
Will laugh on with the rest.
No task have we begun
But other hands can take;
Noework beneath the sun
For which we need to wake.
Then hold us fast. sweet Death,
If so il seemeth best
To Him who gave us breath
That We should go to rest.
We lay us down to sleep;
Our weary eyes we close;
Whether TO wake and weep
Or wake no more, He knows.

MANHOOD
VS.. MAMMON
Steel Trust Trying to Forge the
Shack1es of Industrial Slavery
on the Struggling Workers.
MANHOOD VS.. MAMAION,

MANHOOD VS.. MAMMON!
| There is Il strike in progress against
the American Sheet and Tin Plate Com
pany, subsidiary company of the United
States Steel Corporation.
That company has declared its inten-
ton to operate all its sheet and tin mills
non union, and at the same time has
posted IA new schedule Of wages at ma
/ terial reduction from the union scale
The men in all the union plants, cx-
ccpt one, have refused to accept the con-
ditions and are now idle
WHAT TRUST WANTS.
In issuing the notice of its intention to
attempt to operate its mills non-union
he trust actuated by the one motive
that prompts it's every policy. That mo-
tive is to increase its profits. 1t hopes
to do this by making itself the absolute
dictator rs to the wages paid and the
conditions that prevail in all its plants
To do this it must create a condition that
Will prevent it's employees from having
anything to say as to what their wages
shall be or what conditions the work
shall be performed under. To create such
Il condition unionism must first be de-
stroyed, hence its ''open shop (non-
union) notice was posted. And for fear
that you might not understand the real
purpose of it the trust accompanied it
with wage reduction. But the trust
does not want to have to force wage re-
ductions. because both trusts and wage
reductions are unpopular with the peo-
pie of this trust ridden nation
The trust has a large number of sheet
and tin mills i'll excess of those needed to
fill its orders under nominal business
conditions, hence some of them are nee
cssariy idle at all times.
The trust does not believe in or want
competition in its own business. 1t pre-
fers very much to have Il monopoly if it
could, because monopoly is the goal of
all trusts. But the trust is Il firm be-
lever i'll competition between its en-
ployees. The trust has more mills than
it needs. hence it cannot give all its en-
ployceS in the sheet and tin mills steady
work. 1t has therefore decided to have
them compete for such work as it has to
be done. The competition will be sharp
and the lowest bidders will get the work
That is they will get the work so long
us they remain the lowest bidder. Under
the trust s program they will not re-
main the lowest bidder for Il very long
time. The trust believes that starva-
ton is Il great incentive to the kind of

Speak Well of the Living.

One checr-a kind word, a slap on the
back, Il helping hand in life-is worth
columns of eulogy and volumes of words
after death. How often we hear trade
union comrades say of a faithful officer
or co-worker, after he has passed away,
he or she certainly was faithful sacrific-
ing, etc, and flowers, music and what
not are suggested as fitting final memo
rial to the departed, when in life little
or no actual encouragement was given to
the one of whom so many kind things are
said in death.
General Secretary James Dougherty, of
the brotherhood of Bookbinders, in the
recent issue of the Bookbinder, deals
tersely with the question, and says:
Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed up until
your friends are dead. Fill their lives
with sweetness. Speak approving, cheer
ing words while their ears can hear them
and while their hearts can be thrilled and
made happier by them. The kind things
you mean to say when they are gone, say
before they 60 The flowers you mean
to send for their collins, send to brighten
and sweeten their homes before they leave
them. If my friends have alabaster boxes
laid away, full of fragrant perfumes of
sympathy and affection, which they in
tend to break over my dead body. I
would rather they would bring them out
in my weary and troubled hours and open
them that [ may be refreshed and chcered

the Fairmount Park proposition
With mountain water paved streets and public parks his'
city will grow with greater rapldty than ever before.
With nine dollars OF state appropriations spent here out OF
every ten collars spent by the state Salem must be on the
alert
To vote down little public park proposition means not
only black eye to South Salem, but blow to progress
and prosperity in every part of the city.
The City OF Eugene already has several hundreds of
acres OF public parks,
The City Of Portland and Puget Sound cities have many
public parks according to the signs on their street cars
The wards OF this city that cast ballots against the public
policies involved in FarmOunt Park will make mistake
They will be advertising to the world that they are opposed
to rogreSS ard no one will want to buy property in such
wards,
This city should cast SOdidy unanimous vote for the
Famoun Park proposition and there should not be single
vote cast against il.
No abod0g man who loves his family and wants city
where there shall be public grounds for women and children
should vote against Famoun Park
No real estate man or property owner who has any faith
in the future OF the city should think OF casting ballot
against acquiring Falrmount Park
The honor and fair OF our city and its reputation for
OgreSS are involved in this question far more than appears
at first sight,
We have no public park aside from few squares in the
heart OF the city that were donated
Let us say Monday that we stand tor progress and pro-
