The Moribund Town,

A town that never has anything to
do in public way is on the way to
the cemetery. Any citizen who will do
nothing for his town is helping to dig
the grave. \ man that curses his
town furnishes the coffin. The man
who is so selfish as to have no time
from his business to give to city af-
fairs is making the shroud. The man
who will not advertise is driving the
hearse. The man who is always pull
ing back from any public enterprise
throws bouquets on the grave. The
man who is so stingy to be bowling
hard times breaches the funeral. sings
the doxology. and thus the town lies
buried from all sorrow and care.-Wa-
mego Weekly Times.

STRIKE SINNERS
70 WAITING GAME
Perham on Way to Washington to
Secure Federal Intervention

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 2S.-The
strike situation in the Northwest has
become a waiting game, all further
action being contingent upon the sue
cess of II. b. Perham, who is on his
way to Washington to secure federal
help in the controversy between the
railroads and the switchmen. Upon
the course of Mr.. Perham, who is
chairman of the railway branch OF
the American Federation of Labor,
will depend the future action of the
allied bodies on the matter of gem
eral strike.
President Hawley, Of the switch
mems union, will say nothing and
Vice President Harshberger neither
would affirm nor deny the report that
the unions are ready to strike on
short notice. 1t has been stated by
Mr.. Perham that some of the unions
are ready to go out at any time.
These are presumably the railway
clerks, freight handlers and main
tenance-of-way-me
Mr.. Harshberger said:
There are influences at work both
in st. Paul and Washington that
may result in the termination of the
strike in a very short time
Asked if the report was true that
freight handlers machinists' and
clerks unions, which have grievances
of their own, would go on strike
without waiting further communlca-
ton from Perham, Hawley said:
Such action on the part OF those
unions would turn public sentiment
against the strikers and would not
in any way help the cause. am not
in favor of that kind Of sympathetic
strike
So far as the railroad managers
are concerned, they are proceeding
as if there were no strike. Among
the men a general strike, to begin
next Monday, is talked OF.
1t is stated by members OF the
unions of freight handlers, clerks,
machinists and maintenance-of-way
employees that the vote was practical
ly unanimous to go out on recommen-
dation of the federation council and
unon notification by their presidents,
as provided by their respective con-
situations.

Our Lofty Neiuhbor.

Mars is so near and yet so far. We
can view it with the naked eye. and
the astronomers can tell us that the
water in it's canals is running down
hill. but what satisfaction can we find
in that?
Even at close range Mars is about
as useful as neighbor as one that is
separated from us by a spite fence.
1t is impossible to swap canal mules
or cooking recipes with such a neigh
Dor or to retail gossip over the clothes
line.
True. we can wander around in the
evenings and admire its loneliness. but
we can do the same thing with an cleo
trio sign.
Mars is all right as far as we know.
but if it wants to get our baseball
scores and the latest news of the New
York divorce scandals the next time it
draws near it should come within bal
loon hailing distance.

MODERN WONDERS.
7NHE days of miracles are gone,
u Things now are run by RUE.
The marvellous gives way to what
We learn about In school.
But still some modern miracles
Shine forth to give us hope
Some mighty magic is performed
By just a cake of soap.
The people who in darkness sit
Or stand. as like as not
Shut out from civilizing light
And on the earth blot.
Will feel at least their self respect
Expand If in a tub
They tumble once or twice a week
And take a man size scrub.
The little arabs on the street,
AS tough as kids are made.
Who seek out every lawless gang
And join in the parade.
Will feel that they are better boys,
Although they may not smile.
If some one turns the hose on them
And let's them soak awhile.
With scrubbing brush and pot of paint
The people and the place
May be transformed until they shine
And wear different face.
The age of miracles is past,
But in broader scope
We see If we will look around
The wonder work of soap.
