The slow breeze drops and stills the wav-

Like little clouds the wings of hawks
fan by
Shooting asiant the summer-blue deep
sky,
Or drifting leisurely as shadows pass.
And long-drawn, low, and vibrant as the
roll
OF drums. increasing to staccato shriI
OF clarinet, the locust stirs at will
The farthest echoes in my sun-steeped
soul.
The long shades fall across the sloping
lawn;
Late August shakes the peoples in her
hair
And gazes through closed-petal lids. to
where
The loeust's haunting song chirrs on
and
And sad and sweet the thoughts that it
bids grow,
And wings of longing stir within my
breast
For that NV laggard lips should ha ye
expressed
So long ago, so very long ago.

FROM OTHER PENS

JUSTICE TO POSTAL WORKERS.
A righteous action has been taken by
congress in lifting the employees of the
postoffice department out of the degrad-
ing status in which they had been held
for so long. Hereafter the postal em-
ployees will have the rights of Ameri-
can citizens. 1t cannot be said that IN
the past they have been able to claim
so much. Although the constitution OF
the United States guarantees to every
American the right OF petition and free
speech, this fundamental liberty has
been denied to these faithful servants
OF the government. The very thing has
happened to them by way of penalty
that will happen to any victims of the
denial of such liberties. The postal en-
ployeeS for the most part are UNDER
paid, their hours are severe, they are
overworked, and are subjected to dis
cipline that has been in many cases al
most Russian in its nature. Having
these grievances they were yet denied
the right to petition the authorities for
redress, or the right to organize frankly
for that purpose. We do not know how
much truth there was in a criticism of
the local ONCE by q writer In The
tribunal last week, but it is cndeni-
able that In a general way his severe
structure on the postal establishment
was none too severe. In the circufn-
stances the postal employees all over
the United States have been a remark
ably patient, efficient and faithful lot
OF men and women, and they are en-
titled to the heartiest Concentration
