How many did YOU get?" This is
the question put to me this week by
a happy little tot on the street. "Oh
didn't you get not even a funny one?'
The little girl was greatly grieved
and concerned because 1 hadn't re-
ceived a valentine. We'll l think it
is just too bad" she said, 'Tll give yon
my prettiest one Don't you think
that verse is pretty
What could I do? She was so in
earnest and seemed so hurt tina didn't
get single funny one" that I took
it and the verse read;
Accept the heart ! offer here
And hold it in your keeping dear.
Yes, the verse was pretty. And the
sweet child love in the little heart for
the poor man who didn't get a val

National Guard When in Service.
est. Louis Globe, dem.).


Under The present law the national
guard is subject to active service when
ever the president calls for it in any'
state, territory, or the District of Co
iumbia. TO be employed with the forces
of the United States. The president
specifies in his call the period OF such
service. and the organized militia thus
summoned 70 the field serves for the
time named, within Or without the ter
rtory Of the United Stat ties, unless
sooner relieved by the presidents or
der. BY the existing national law, APP
proved IT 1909. and amended in 1908,
the president is empowered to call out
the national guard. according to the
military needs of the federal govern

resurrection Or repel invasion, when
such emergencies can not be met by
the regular forces. In word, the ma
tional guard is subject to the presi-
dents call, and can be sent to the field.
in or out of the country. along with the
regular army.
The misconception on this point is
due 10 the fact that the militia during
the Spanish war was not available for
lHItleulale out! at lne president eau,
but was first mustered in as state vol
unteers, to be again mustered later on
into the government service. But now
the presidents call sends the national
guard at once into active service, and
beyond the national boundaries if de-
mapded by the course of events. The
organized militia. in this way, is called
into active service in advance of the
raising Of any volunteer forces. Mem
bers of the national guard are subject
to this immediate service for the term
covered by commissions and terms OF
enlistment, and hold themselves in
readiness for active service at once at
the presidents discretion under the mi
litia law as it now stands.

The earliest Of these strikes was in
December. 1910, when the employees Of
a firm occupying an old building at 81
Ridge street struck in protest against
dangerous fire conditions. Backed by
the joint board Of sanitary control. on
which employees, the unions. and. tho
public are represented, the workers
succeeded in forcing the firm to remove
to safe quarters.
Another. Characteristic strike was
that against firm In 9th street, who
had put up six-foot partitions within
the shop, thus shutting of the light
from the pressers and compelling them
to work by electric light The workers
went out until their employers agreed
to abide by the expert decision of DR..

recommendation he firm cut down the
wooden partitions by two and hall
feet. incidentally the board compelled
the installation Of extra fire exits. The
majority Of the strikes were enforced

ROOSEVELT AND lAFoLlET1E.

There 10 no occasion for assertion by
LaF'ollettes friends that he has been
BETRAYED by those who are leaving his
banner to range themselves under the
Roosevelt movement. There is no oc-
casion for wrath against Roosevelt. He
man which LaFoliette could retain. In
deed few OF the senator's friends are
permitting themselves to be misled into
repeating the words put into their
mouths by those whose bitter hatred
for LaFollette changed suddenly TO
mock sympathy the moment they con-
sidered his physical condition bar to
his hopes.
A great deal Of LaFollette's strength
was borrowed from Roosevelt 1t was
lent freely by those who considered the
ex-president entirely outside the prob
abilities and by those even who hoped
that he might become candidate but it
was lent with conditional clause. It
was not transferred in fee. Thousands
port LaFollette with Roosevelt out of
1t would positively support no
other man with Roosevelt in
the field. Senator LaFolIette has lost
nothing that was actually his own,
except, perhaps, a certain following
which preferred him above any other
but who are convinced that his physi-
cal condition handicaps him to degree
that puts him and them at a dlsad-
vantage which can not be overcome.
Senator LaFollette has been unfortu-
nate that serious Illness should come
upon him in the critical period of his
campaign. However, men fall i'll and
die and in other ways fail OF their am
billions and desires. 1t may be that he
fit to lead his forces toward a presi-
Dental nomination, but the army can
not stop in the shock Of battle to await
the recovery OF a wounded general. Il
the senator finds himself able to take
the field again he will find that he has
lost little that was his own or that
he could have held with Roosevelt in
the field.

PART OF THE NEW DEAL.

The proceedings against ]. II. Mathis
county supervisor Of Polk county.
will be followed with great interest
over the state as a case which has a
bearing on the business management
of every other county. Mr.. Mathis is
defendant to an action brought by the
d attorney general Of the state under the
removal law which was amended at
the past session of the legislature to
include county officers. Mathis is
charged with willful and habitual neg
iect and refusal to perform the duties
Of his office and with willful miscon-
duct and maladnlinistration in office.
Specific charges are made that he
caused himself to be paid double and
treble for q single days labor, that he
drew pay for meetings of the board of
for meeting which he did not attend,
that he charged mileage and pay for
committee work when he was in reality
engaged in other than official duties,
that as chairman of the bridge COM
mittee he let bridgew ork substantially
TO single company and without COM
petitive bidding. etc.
The Mathis trial is the beginning OF
a new deal in county business. Wheth-
er or not Mathis is removed. and il
must be admitted that upon the pres
ent showing he is likely to go, it is
fairly certain that not only Polk but
other counties are ready TO insist on
business methods in public business
and that officials, who add graft to the
ernoiuments OF office, are in a way TO
have rronhle all over the state
There has been much petty graft and

Gals rather than crooked ones.
However it does not make much diff
ference on the books or in the bank
whether the county money was bun
koed or stolen. What is needed and
what the counties will insist upon is
that county business be conducted with
the same ability and integrity as pri-
vate business so far as such a thing
is hunnan My possible. There are two
good and sufficient causes for this pre-
diction: one is that the average farm
er ard merchant OF today is better
business man than his average pre-
decessor and knows what is due puhNc
interests from those hired and elected
10 conduct them: another is found in
the new public conscience which de-
nlands honesty in office: and another
very strong reason is because under
the law the taxpayer and citizen can
get at the faulty official and remove
him from office for incompetency or
crookedness.
