We are certainly moving toward very near soal-the practical assumption by the community of responsibility for the moral welfare. as well as the physical welfare of its voung Mary and Jane, Joey and Jack are a social investment Their mother owns them Their father owns them.' Is that so? No. That was the Roman theory. long ago. Today we are sure that father and mother are merely the respon- s;hle persons entrusted by the community with the care of Mary and Jane, Joey and Jack. Whereto this new vision will lead us does not yet appear. But already we frankly accept the burden of keeping all these bairns free, for instance. from tuberculosis germs, from the influence of immoral persons. and from starvation of mind. The dreadful trouble is that we have no real equipment to discharge our acknowledged obligation. Even when our juvenile court comes within reach. it gets killed through the attempt tt' make 1t a piece of political patronage. This is part of that reactionism against which insurgents protest in every state of the union. They will not protest in vain.

IMMORTALITY
By DIR. w. E. EVANS
Nohng absolutely destroyed all its Protean

'Tis Gods unchangeable decree, That naught that s been can cease to be: And though it's primal form may pass To clod, to air, to subtle gas, From natures elemental sphere It cannot wholly disappear. This non-destruction science grants To matter, crystals, metals, plants; And elements of every name, That mingle in the cosmic frame, She dowers with existence vast AS. cycles yet to be, or past. Consider science says, the flower, Whose life seems bounded by an hour:- The fragile rose of crimson hue, At morn aglow with sparkling dew, Will lose it's blush, its petals die And turn to dust and atoms dry; And, lost it's grace and warmth of red, We sigh and say, The rose is dead But is it dead in such sense, That it no more exist from hence? That all is lost, has ceased to be Henceforth throughout eternity? To this your science makes reply The rose Is changed it cannot die: Its leaves are dust, its moisture mist, As such the rose shall still exist. Twill finger still in dark or light, In dingle deep or lofty height; By wanton breezes onward wait, Twill rise and geam in sunlight shaft; It's mist in ranbow-arch shall glow, And ages hence appear in snow; 'n5 on through cycles distant far,
 efect some gold star But never may t ceaea 50 be. {. Existence Is it's destiny. The dust may lodge in darksome dell, And nourish springing bud or bell; To blossoms rare give vital norm, Thus live again in floral form. Again twill wther, fall to dust, And bde in hidden nook, till thrust Abroad by wind or torrent rain, To wander, fall and rise again In gorgeous rose, perhaps the part That gives completeness to it's heart; Then back to dust; then distant lands Of gardens groves, and arid sands; Ger rivers, plains, and ocean wide, It's borne by wind, and cloud, and tide; But evermore it makes it's round, In forest, air, and changing ground; But neer that dust can cease to be, Iris Gods unchangeabe decree

LABOR WINS VICTORY.
Supreme Courts Decision Frees Com

Organized labor won great victory
when the United States supreme court
held that three Of it's most noted lead
ers shall not be required to serve Jail
sentences for contempt Of court
Setting aside the sentences of i'm
prisoument imposed by the supreme
cour Of the District Of Columbia for
alleged disobedience to boycott in
junction. the supreme court of the
United States held that Samuel Com
pers, John Mitchell and Frank Morri
son. president. vice president and sec
rotary, respectively. of the American
Federation Of Labor, had been CHROME
ously sentenced to Jail on Il charge of
contempt Of II local court
The basis of the courts opinion was
that the proceeding against the labor
officers was for civil contempt which
could be punished only by the impoSi
rion Of fine The sentence of the
lower court to Imprisonment was the
penalty for criminal contempt. and
therefore II was not legal punish

Justice Wright found them guilty
and sentenced Gompers 10 one year In

taken from this sentence. first to the

finally TO the supreme court of the
United Stl ties
Commenting on the decision. Mr.
Gompers said: 81 think it has been not
only my opinion. but 1t has been the
consensus Of opinion. that the sentences
imposed by Justice Wright of six. nine
and twelve months for Mr. Morrison.
Mr. Mitchell and myself. respectively.
were unju.tifable, unusual and cruel,
particularly in an alleged constructive
contempt; THAT his language was in
temperate and unjudicial."
