blatant supporters of the very law
they are now charged with violating.
II is also to be noted that some of
them have been conspicuous in doing
publicity work for Labors National
Peace Council and acting as officers
of il. This organization is under rea-
sonable suspicion of being more in
terest in stopping the expectation
of war material than in the welfare
of labor
That there has been a concerted
attempt with the lavish use OF money
to destroy legitimate industry en-
pioying many thousands of operatives
is patent to everybody. and there is
little doubt that the vicious work has
been done in the interest OF Euro
pean belligerents and at the solicita-
ton of their agents. The labor or
ganizations are as much concerned,
for the good name of labor and the
welfare of their members, to see the
conspiracy broken up and the offend
ers punished as are the manufacture
ers and others whose business has
been raided; and the long suffering
American people have an interest in
the matter, too.

THOUGHTS AFTER
CHRISTMAS
Written for EVENING JOURNAL.
By JAMES T.. CROZIER.

The Christmas Day has passed away
With just a little rain
And many Of us may be gone
Before il comes again,
For life is sure uncertain,
That's truth we all do know;
We cannot tell the hour when
We shall be called to go.
1t matters not If we accept
That Babe of Bethlehem
AS our Redeemer. Saviour King.
If now, next week or when.
Because the blood He shed for us
To cleanse our hearts from sin,
VIII cause the gates to open wide
That we may enter in.
'Tis sweet to feel as days go by
Our trust is all in Him;
'Tis sweet to know His precious blood
Can take away all sin.
How sweet the thought that comes to
us
some day We see his race,
And hear His welcome to that home
As sinners saved by grace.
Then help us. Lord, as time goes by,
To feel that we are Thine,
And Christian grace to also say
In truth / know He's mine.
Oh precious thought, how sweet to us
Some day Wen reach that home,
And be with Him forever. where
Good-byes are never known.

Ezekiel Cooper. cashier of the Far
mers' Bank in this city. and a past
grand. master of the Ancient Order
United Workmen of Delaware, has
contributed an interesting article en-
titled National Unity Essential to
Our Orders Welfare" to the December
issue of the official organ of the Su-
preme lodge of the order. Mr.. Cooper.
in his article says:
National unity is essential to the
welfare of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen in the United States. The
more carefully and dispassionately
have considered the situation as it ex-
lists today, the more firmlyI have be-
come convinced of the soundness of
that view.
In view of what has passed. have
no doubt that diplomacy, tact and fra
ternalism of the highest quality will
have to be called into play to accom-
plish the results sought to be attained.
We should not forget. however. that

There is strength in the unity OF
the members of a subordinate lodge.
There is a greater strength in the

1t IS not, however, until all the
Grand Lodges are united in a supreme
lodge of national or international
scope. that the maximum o. strength
is attained.
1t is for that maximum Of strength
that those who are actively in charge
OF the reconciliation movement are
striving. They are deserving of the

The series Of dramatic developments
in world-fnance during 1915 may be
thus summed up:
a. The European war ITSELF m
which the prolonged deadlock on the
western battlefront was followed by
Italy's declaration Of war and attack
on Austria, by Russia's invasion Of
Hungary, by her defeat in the Car
pathians by the Austro-German in
vasion of Russia itself Eventually
checked), by the failure of the Anglo
French attack on the Dardanelles, by
the AustrO-German invasion of Servia,
with the cooperation Of Bulgaria. by
the refusal Of Greece to help Servia,
the breakdown of the Allied campaign
in the Balkans, and the complete de-
feat of the Servian army
t2) Enormous and progressively
mounting cost OF war. bringing the
average military outlay of all belliger-
ents combined from about 100000, 900
per day in the early stages of the
war, and S50.000,000 at the end OF 1914,
to SS0.000,000 or more at the present
time. Piling up of national debts to

pRorEcTTON FOR YOLuNTEEl

w partment
It is equipped in the main with up-to-date automo
bile fire apparatus.
The men who compose the companies good and
useful citizens. Their service as hremen represents
public spirit and desire TO do something useful for
the community.
While the public appreciates their good service in its
behalf it has no desire that they shall ieopardize
themselves unnecessarily in the performance of self
imposed protective duties. II wishes the nremen to
remember that they have duty to perform that is
highly important to themselves and TO the members of
their families That is, to exercise reasonable in
the performance OF their volunteer work
The above thoughts called into being by the ac
cident that befell members OF the Water Witch Fire
Company on Wednesday afternoon when the auto chem
ical engine OF that company skdded al Delaware
nue. and Jefferson street and crashed into telephone
pole Two Of the fremen the engine we're injured

From time to time for months there has been COM
plant that the auto FIRE engines run at unneces-
sarly high and dangerous rates Of speed when re-
spending to alarms. The complainans do not at
tribute the condition reckessness They admit can
didy in their opinion It is due to Of zeal
on the part Of the hremen to serve the public.
And right there The question up SHOULD
the public encourage permit such excess Of zeal,
with the danger life and limb that is an inevitable
accompaniment Of it?" We think that is question
for the public officials If the hremen will
not protect themselves when engaged in the work OF
protecting the public then feeling Of appreciation OF
this policy sefsacrhce should constrain the public
to protect the aremen against themselves.
It has been done in other cities In such places
speed limits have been placed upon auto fire engines
and other high-speed equipment. Providence r. H. is
a noteworthy example Of such municipal leesla-
ton Good results followed such action. Some
thing should be done here. This most recent acci-
dent should be the impelling force behind the ac-
ton. The comparatively slight extra damage done tc
property as result OF few seconds of delay by FIRE
in reaching the should be permitted tc
weigh for instant against the safety Of the lives

LUCKY TED.

That was the nickname they called
him by
The boys at his school-and this was
why:
He was bound to win from the start,
they said;
1t was always the way with Lucky
Ted!
The earliest flowers in his garden
grew;
The sums on his slate came soonest
true;
He could sail a boat or throw a ball,
Or guess riddle, the best of all.
You wondered what could his secret
be,
But watch him a while and you would
see.
He thought it out till the thing was
plain,
And then went at it with might and
main.
Trusting but little to chance or guess,
He learned the letters that spelled
success.
A ready hand and thoughtful head
So much for the luck" of Lucky Ted |!
