community behind them in all their eff

will not be given over to the devil and
his followers without a struggle. our
own welfare as well as that of our
children demand that all law, civil and

LUCK.

That which we human know as Fate,
Ia but the outcome of some unknown
cause;
lll-luck and good for certain peopl,
Outlines to follow without break OF
pause.
Men struggle, strive, do all that men
can do.
Yet fate is sullcn-shows them no
bright face;
fair, good luck no act of theirs can
woo;
The noblest efforts oft bring dire dis
grace.
Who has not seen unworthy human
Endowed with comfort, afluence and
might?
Some creature, vicious both in flesh
and mind
Encompassed ever with contents de-
light.
No faith i'm luck, fate, fortune, destiny!
Then why such wealth. such ease for
worthlessness?
Some unknown cause for one makes
misery,
Ana for another earns the worlds
caress.

| In the current issue of Farm and
| Fireside, the national farm paper pub-
| llshed at Springfield, Ohio, Herbert
quick, editor of that publication. goes
on with his articles showing the dam
age done To the sheep industry of the
United States by worthless dogs. He
says that there are many reasons for
the proper control of dogs aside from
their effects on sheep. lie says that
dogs disseminate the germs of hog
cholera and other livestock diseases
from farm to farm But there is an
other reason for the confinement and
regulation of dogs, and that is HYDRO
phobia of which dogs are the sole
source OF infection. Following is an
extract from Mr.. Quick's article:

POWER FOR CANAL.

Electricity for the Panama canal is
secured from the waters of the canal
itself. The surplus water of Gatur
lake is used To produce the power nee
essary for towing the large ships, for
operating the locks, for light and pow
er purposes.
The tremendous water storage i'm the
artificial Gatun lake, fed by the
Chagres river, not only carries vessels
the greater part Of the way across the
isthmus on level about SO feet above
the oceans, and provides water for
raising and lowering them gently
through the Gatun, Pedro Miguel and
Mirailores locks, but it also has afford
ed an excellent opportunity To generate
electric current for lighting the canal.
Tor operating the gigantic gates and
other locking machinery, and for the
locomotives which tow the ships
through the locks.
Electric current will likewise be used
for coal handling plants at both ends
OF the canal, for machine shops. water

future for hauling trains on the Pan
anna railroad. To insure continuity Of
service in case of accident, a steam

WEDNESDAY, JULY %, 1914.

on this, the eve of the anniversary
of the copper country strike, one of the
greatest industrial struggles in the his
tory Of the nation, this district has
much To be thankful for. An era Of
better feeling has been ushered in;
agitators of the worst stripe have been
driven out; the mines are working full
handed; the workmen are independent
aud free, controlled by no organization
which will bleed them for strike as
sessments and dues The future is
bright.
1t is unpleasant to recall the days
of anxiety which the prolonged period
Of unrest caused the community. The
various happenings of that time, when
men, misled by false promises. sought
by violence and intimidation to enforce
the dominance Of an undesirable or
SANITATION, are still vivid in the minds
Of copper country people.
But il is pleasing to remember that
justice and right finally prevailed
that there was a man in the COVER
nor's chair unafraid TO do his duty;
that the good citizenship Of the district
asserted itself; and finally that the
power Of the Western Federation Of |
Miners was broken. All this is cause
for thankfulness.
Copperdom always has been one OF
the most prosperous districts in the
country and despite all the mass of
misrepresentation by sensational writ
ers Of outside publications and Red
Socialists, its reputation for honest
dealing and fair treatment existing be-
tween employers and employees is UNI
harmed. 1t required time for the truth
TO catch up, but ultimately it was trl-
umphant
That the copper country will enjoy
Unprecedented prosperity is the belief
expressed on all sides An optimistic
spirit is prevalent. The mining future
Of the district is secure and the efforts

THIS WEARING CONGRESS.

This vista Of congressional activity
| stretches out longer and longer in the
| future, comments the Detroit Free
Press. II was TO adjourn in June, then
| in July. Recently the hope was held
out that IT would get through by Octo-
Der and now comes the depressing in
| timation that the SHOWS Of next winter
will find it grinding away at its job
Individually the members are indiffer-
ent To it's program and so many of
them are absent from the chambers
that the whips are kept swapping mer-
rily trying 10 round up quorum, but
the houses are nominally in session
and the interference with business
which their presence constitutes con-
tinues undated.
II Is 470 days since this Congress
convened, away back in April OF last
year. II II keeps on sitting even until
October it will have been in continu-
Gus session as long as the entire sit
ting Of both Congresses in each OF
President Roosevelts terms. The Fiji
ty-seventh and, Fifty-eighth con-
crosses occupied only 567 days for their
whole work, and exactly the same
number of days was used by the Fifty
ninth and the Sixtieth congresses.
these being the four that were con-
temporaneous with the seven years Of
the strenuous executive.
Why is ii necessary 10 have so much
OF Congress now? Surely no one would |
seriously argue that it is doing work to |
justify its prolonged existence. To |
say that the record Of accomplishment |
these last fifteen months parallels that
of either Of the Roosevelt terms would |
be farcical
1t is not an efficient Congress that
we have had so much Of since April :. |
1913. On the contrary ii is excessively |
slow. 1t has passed only two meas
ures Of major importance, and Of them
one is not yet in effect and the other
has been bitter disappointment to
hose who passed il. The currency bill
ana the tariff are all that can be Of
Tered as actually accomplished results
Of large consequence. but to get these
through Congress has been sitting con-
lnuously as long as it used 10 sit in
whole presidential term.
II the members Of the two houses
lad sincerely wished 10 dispose of their
program speedily they could have been
hr"ngh months ago. All our former
'"ngrcssmen did as much work. or Z
more in far shorter time. What is
here about this one that calls for so ,
much delay? The sooner it gets
through now and gives the country a ,
nance 10 adapt itself To the complet- {
d laws it has passed or will pass the !
.etter for the public.
