The Recall.

The Chicago Tribune urges Chicago
members of the legislature not to op-
pose Incorporation of the recall in a
measure dealing with organization of
municipal government. The Tribune
properly says that such a provision
would be valuable as big stick" 20
hold over the heads of officials who
persist in misconduct in official mat
ters against which there is public dis
approval. The Tribune adds:
"A Chicago member of the general
assembly has been quoted as saying
that a recall provision cannot get
through the legislature. Why no.?
The country members can have 10
objection to something which will not
affect their constituents. The action
of the charter convention in approving
the recall principle has been followed
by no protest from Chicago voters.
There would have been if there were
serious objection to it. That should
serve as a guide to the Chicago mem
bers when this question comes up at
Springfield"

The Cut in Wages.

During the last few weeks, from time to
time, dispatches from various points
in Pennsylvania New York. New Jer-
sey and other states, have announced
reductions OF wages by large manufaa-
turing concerns. The reason given
has been that the depression in bust
ness and the consequent lessened
amount of production have rendered
these steps necessary. The latest re-
port, printed in today's paper, is to the
effect that the Cambria Steel company
at Johnstown, Pa, which, when in full
activity, employs $4,000 men, will cut
the wages of it's employees 10 per cent,
beginning April L., The reduction af-
fects all the workmen. from the high
est to the lowest.
Reference is made to these facts SIM
ply for the purpose of calling atteu-
ton 10 the promises of the republican
orators, and republican newspapers,
during the campaign which resulted
in the election of Judge Taft. The
statement was made upon every plat
form, and in every newspaper, that the
Industrial depression had passed, that
We were only feeling the tail end of
1t, and that if the republican party
was victorious. there would be grand
boom in business, with increased de-
mand for orders, and Increased pay
for the workers. AT the same time, it
was said, that the only thing that
could halt the increasing commercial
and industrial activity was the election
of the democratic candidate in whom
business men, it was asserted oyer and
over again, lacked condence and whose
success would paralyze the entire in
dustrial interests of the country
Vote for Taft, said there orators
and newspapers, and prosperity will
follow, and the full dinner pail viii
be the rule throughout the country.
Now come the reports of these reduc.

Another number or two of instru-

peals of laughter told of the oddities
in these old pictures of the past that
the wave of fashion had left stranded.

Being alone at all was new to Mrs.
st. John. She had always been on the
qui vive from her brilliant girlhood
through the ten years of her married
life and nearly ten of her widowhood,
and the restlessness told on her.
Fine lines about the eyes and mouth
told of the nerve destroying pace of a
modern woman of fashion. Margaret
st. John seemed possessed with a spir-
1t of unrest and had forgotten how to
relax.
This year she seemed too listless to
plan her usual spring trip and was
staying in town. But she must be
amused. She. turned from the desk.
where a bundle of old letters had given
melancholy drift to her thoughts,
and took up one of the club calendars.
Ah, there was miniature day at the
Women's club. That looked promis-
ing. AN exhibition of old miniatures
would certainly be amusing. These OBJ
solcte things would afford more than
a passing smile. and there was sure
to be good music. Mrs St John lis

as she entered Her perfect gown,
with the delicate bits of old lace, was
worn well. The women of the club
thronged about her, each with some
special bit of gossip, the ambitious,
pushing ones on the edge. glad of a
smile or bow that held out hopes for
social advancement.
As the president took her place they
settled into their seats TO listen to the
brief program. A brilliant harp, piano
| and violin trio, the first number, ended
with a flourish. Then, following few
sweet bars on the piano, came voice
SO pure, so rich, so clear, that an utter

There's a life fnfusing tonic
In the air
And a promise that is truly
On the square
OF some weather that has posies
On the string.
And we know by this same token
1t is spring.
In the lot behind the bushes
Hear the hen
Singing of her laying exploits
Once again.
So Industrious the creature is,
Though humble,
That we know that eggs must shortly
Take a tumble.
Far away in distant meadows
Hear the calf
Learning from its patient mother
How to laugh,
And the small boy wanders creekward
With his hook
After whales and other monsters
In the brook
How that tired feeling penetrates
Mans bones
As he thinks about the work ahead
And groans
As he wades forth fixing fences
In the mud
He Is sure he needs a tonic
For his blood.
