Into The Battle,

(Grantland Rice, in Golfers Weekly
Into the battle the trooper speeds
AS the bugles call and the drums re-
spond;
Into the fight as the captain leads
Where the low line waits on the hills
beyond;
Waits for the signal-then the crack
Of blue steel rimed with a crest of
flame,
And few ride back on the homeward
track
Where many rode when the order
came.
Into the battle the trooper speeds,
Into the line where the rifle rings,
But little the trooper hears or needs
The song CT hate which the shrapnel
sings
The roar of battle-the curse-the
shout
The crash and clamor of friend and
foe
The riderless horse that wheels about
And gallops past to the plains be-
low.
For out from the smoke wreath, far
away,
He hears the patter of little feet;
The dim, far call of a child a tplay
The murmur of voices, dream-swept
far
From the little path to the cottage
gate.
Where eagerly under the evening star
Mother and child in the twilight wait
Into the battle the trooper speeds
But somewhere out from the far-off
lands
An echo drifts where a soft voice
pleads
And the tender pressure of little
hands;
A mothers lullaby from the night
And call to the Great White God
in prayer
That one will come from the far-off
fight
To those who wait in the darkness
there

LOVE AND HATE IN WAR
(Kansas City Starr

Except in the Crimea when French
and English fought Russia, French and
English have done most of their fight
ing against each other.
But how Justify the French cheered
the fine English when they joined in
this fight! They cheered just as lust
lily as they would have denounced the
English had England declared against
them. And the English cheered the
French quite as enthusiastically as
the English would have cheered the
Germans is England and Germany
were fighting together against France
and Russia. The Germans are as bit
ter toward the English today as th4y
would be lavish in praise of the Eng
fish if they were allies. What mutual
admiration Germans and French would
have if they were in a war against
Austria and Italy!
The fiction that people hate one an
other radically is one of the most ma
lign fictions in history and in econo-
mics.

Coleridge says there are four kinds
Of readers. The first is like the hour
glass; their reading going as the sand,
runs in and out and leaves not a
vestiage behind. A second is like the
sponge which imbibes everything, and
returns it in nearly the same state,
only a little dirtier. A third is like
the jelly-bag, allowing all that is pure
to pass away, retaining only the refuse
and dregs. And the fourth is like the
slave in the diamond mines of Golcon-
da, who, casting aside all that is
worthless, retains only pure gems.

THE RESULT IN MAINE

Those who have kept posted on po
litical sentiemnt throughout the coun-
try were not surprised that the Dem
ocrats were successful in the state ell
ection in Maine Monday. The issues
were largely local, but there was ma
tional politics in it. The Democrats
depended largely for success on the
popularity of President Wilson and the
success of his administration and the
outcome shows that they showed good
Judgment in doing so.
The Democratic candidate for gov
ernor was elected by a substantial
plurality. 1t is true that the Republi-
cans elected three congressman and
the Democrats only one, but that is the
way that the delegations stands now.
AS matter of fact Maine was a strong
Republican state until the Progressive
party was organized. Most of the mem
bers of that party were Republicans,
though many had been classed as DEM
ocrats. But for the Progressive party
it is probable that the Republicans
would have won by a small majority
in Mondays election. Maine, however,
can no longer be claimed as Repub-
lican state. Because of President Will
sons popularity it is practically GER
tain that if he is the Democratic can
didate for President in 1916 he will get
her electoral vote.
The vote was large one, larger
than that cast in the last presidential
election, showing that there was unus-
ual interest in the contest The inter
est was, to a very considerable extent,
due to the introduction of national pol

nized that the Presidents popularity
would be extremely helpful to their
cause and they used it to the limit.
Naturally the Progressives are
greatly disappointed. They expected
big vote. Some of their leaders eve.l
claimed that it would be rs large as
was there vote in the national oan-
paign in 1912. AS a matterpf fact 1t
was very small, showing that the Pro-
gressive party doesn't amount to much
without Col. Roosevelt. He counted
for a great deal in the election Of
1912 but he wouldn't count for so much
now. He has been losing popularity
steadily ever since that election. He
received approximately $4,000 votes.
The Progressive candidate for gov
erncr on Monday received 17,443. The

Mails the Refuge OF "Sharks"

(Herbert Houston, in Worlds Wcrk)
1t has been demonstrated that most
advertising is honest and dependable,
and that the relatively small amount
of the other kind can speedily be done
away with. Strangely enough as mag
azines and newspapers have set up
their high standards and denied their
columns to the unreliable advertis-
ers, the latter have found their only
place of refuge behind the protecting
postage stamp of Uncle Sam. Denied
access to all reliable publications and
to billboards and street cars and prac-
tically every other form of advertis-
ing, the swindlers and takers now
carry on their business chiefly through
the mails. For years the Sterling De-
benture corporation was unable to
have its advertising published in any
medium Of standing but all the time
it carried on a far-reaching propa-
ganda by mail and sold millions of dol
lars of worthless stock.

one of the greatest in the history of

The strike in the northern Colorado
coal fields. of which the statewide
strike is continuation, was called
on April 4, 1911 The statewide
strike which was called on Sept. 23,
1913, virtually paralyzed the industry
in Colorado, threw the common
wealth into turmoil and finally led
TO the calling out of the state militia
and the importation of federal troops
successfully, into the strike territory
to preserve order.
The toll of approximately eighteen
million dollars caused by the strike
is shared by miners, operators, the
union, railroads, state and federal
governments, and private industries.
According to union officials, more
than $3,00O,000 has been paid out In
strike benefits alone. Loss of wages
to miners is estimated at over $6,-

some measure to be adopted by the
president that would terminate the

we concluded TO arrange meeting

we met with him at the White House
on Thursday, November 10. He in
formed us at that time that he was
legally advised that he could not
take over the Colorado coal mines
and operate them under government

settlement of the strike in accord
with the peace plan he had sub

deep regret that the operators had
