CThe French lyric poet, Rene Fan
chois, who is widely known as an in
terpreter Of Beethoven. has published
the following poem under the title
'NocturnoH in a collection Of wal
poemg)
sudden the m5rtars ceased. Under
the smoke
Of the last bomb a corporal, with
sigh
Sid dead into the trench. A mad
dened horse
Rears pranc.ng e.. ) far
pyre lights the sky,
swells up and sinks: and flashing in
its glare
The steel Of swords and star eyes
stud the dell
Far scattered horsemen gallop o'er
the field.
With shrill, mad laughter like the
taunts Of hell
Then mounts the wind in the woods
around
And watts such heavy breezes Of
decay
That. perched upon their prey, the
raven troops
Turn weary heads, dropping with
dreams away.
The struggling cripples to the ambu-
lance
Limp in. Then comes black Night
with silent tread;
Bowed deep with pain, she bends a
mothers brow,
And. softly sobbing, watches oeI
the dead.

The commission found that
the bulk Of workers in the en-
plOy Of the Standard Oil Co.
live in condition of serfdom,
or Servile subjecton.
The finding of the inveSh-
gators is that the policy of the
Standard Oil Co. of New Jer-
sey, which is the policy of its
81 sister companies and of the
numerous traction, mining, gas
and other industrial corpora
tons, wholly or largely con-
Tolled by Standard Oil money,
Is to pay its laborerS as little
or less than the poorest and
most ungenerouS of its COM
petitorS, while denying them
the right to organize for their
own protection or to employ
any means outside of stark in
dividualism, for the redress of
| grievances.
The investigators report that
fOreignborn employees, unable
to present their complaints in
English, were harShly denied
the right to employ an English
speaking attorney to represent
them before the company's
managers. And when, driven
to desperation by these out-of-
date, reactionary industrial
methods, the men strike, they
are overpowered by the use of
guards and trike-breakers
who were described by the at
torney for the agency THAI
supplied them as "a lot OF
thugs"
Such conditions as that
smack of Mexico rather than
of the United States. They are
intolerable in this country
which is dedicated to the prin.
ciple of human freedom. The
mass of people have had no
adequate conception of the
abuses worked by the Standard
Oil and similar concerns. The

REALLY WONDERFUL

III n the Tacoma market yes
terday the quotation for
club wheat was 81 per
bushel. In Portland which is
supposed to carry the same
prices as Tacoma the bid price
for club was 80 cents. The
asking price in Portland was
listed at SO cents.
Indeed there is something
peculiar when professed offers
of wheat are made in Portland
at a price seven cents lower
than is being offered in the Ia
coma market. 1t Is possible
that those who have wheat to
sell in Portland are the same
identical men who want to buy
wheat and are therefore play
ing both ends against the mid
dle-to-wit the farmer.

expedition with Mr.. Courtney az j his

overalls and equipped with blankets
strapped to a pack horse the quartet
set out for the deer runs. In three
hours they struck fresh deer trails.
and after a half hours sleuthing they
came upon a group Of about a halt
dozen deer lying down in a clump Of
trees Girls and men alike cut loose
with their weapons and when the
rattle of musketry was silenced. the
men rushed up to bag their game
While Mr. Barker's attention was ta.

ney was looking to another animal
Crashing noises drew Mr.. Courtrey to
a spot where the young man had 1is-
covered the buck he had knocked
down wasn't dead or even quite mar
IT,
An encounter followed. Barker
seized the buck by the antlers and was
tossed about like a viii O. the wisp
by the infuriated deer. without
knowing how It happened, Barker
found himself astride the buck. but
although possessed of a knife in his
hunting belt he was unable to use it.
After the muchly one-sided battle
had progressed for a minute or two,
the deer bolted down the mountain
side with his human load. After a
few jumps the bucking buck unseated
his rider and with a titanic toss ,oi
his head heaved Barker 10 or /? feet.
Although freed Of his rider the deer
collapsed after a couple Of jumps,
Reinforcements were brought up and
another bullet finished his fighting
spirit. The first shot had broken one
hind leg.
To celebrate the exciting battle, the
party assembled their nerves and
weapons and kindled a fire, co 1sum-
ing goodly portions Of the slain deer.
A cry from a nearby cougar was the
nearest thing to excitement on the
homeward trip. which brought them
to camp about dark. Mr.. Barker ex-
tracts a moral from the incident
which nearly cost him his life, to-
wit: Don't approach deer until you
know he Is dead.

FIGHTING THE PUBLIC
WELFARE


-" found that the same ell,
ements which in time:
past have opposed the with
drawal of public lands for for
estry and other purposes are
arrayed against any efficient
restrictive or regulative legis-
lation as affecting water pow
er sites or the development of
hydro-electric energy"
The foregoing is from an ad-
dress BY Senator Chamberlain
before the Oregon-Wa ashing-
ton bar association in Portland.
The statement classifies in
apt manner the opposition to
the administrations water
power bill.
1t is the purpose of the ma
tional administration to bring
about power development un-
der such conditions the public
will get its Just share of the
benefits. 1t is opposed by in
terests that desire develop
ment handled as nearly as
possible on the old ''public-be-
damned" policy.
No subject is of greater i'm
portance to the west than the
one pertaining to power de-
velopment. 1t is of inestim-
able Importance that future
development be carried out
with a governmental string
upon affairs so that justice may
be insured for the people.
Yet the administration is
criticised on this score by nu-
merous republican organs and
by a certain class Of republi-
can leaders. An attempt is
made TO discredit President
Wilson and Secretary Lane
through unfair criticism and
gross Misrepresentation of the
facts as to the administrations
plan.
Such attacks constitute
line of action that will not be
countenanced by the rank and
file of republicans. The mass
of republican voters do not
wish their party used as an
annex to the electric trust any
more than do they approve of
using the party to tighten the
cinch Of the shipping mono
poly to the end the producers
Of the nation may be robbed
Of their logical profits.
If the so-called leadership
Of the republican party insists
on using the party machinery
10 obstruct the sane and just
constructive measures Of the
present administration they
will bring about state Of af-
fairs wherein the average re-
publican voter will be COM
PEELED in self defense to vote
for a continuance of democrat
ie rule.

Picture Two

This is known as a mail order town and community, and it looks t.
There "a a time when this a a prosperous community of people
with many stores we'll stocked and business generally IN the boom.
Then the mail order mar anne along with his handsome catalogues
and his alurng advertisements of something for nearly nothing"
which did not pan out Is expected, and many of the people fell for his
stunt.
home merchants sold less goods and had to reduce their stocks, and
some of them became Disguised and moved away, and the town just
naturally hit the slippery place II the toboggan and slid down to the
bottom and has stuck there ever since.
Yes, it is just a mail order town and looks it.
Pride is gone, business lei are apathetic, trade is dull money is
scarce and hard to get social life is dead, real estate is deader, and
farm values have shrunk until they are the deadest OF all.
Many farms are for sale, but there are no buyers. Nobody wants
to live or invest in a dead community.
Young people growing up get tired of living in a cemetery and
move on to other and more progressive communities. o to the big
cities.
Older ones would like to go, too, but they a not sell their prop
ery and of curse there is nothing left for them to do but stick
around and stagnae with the rest of the victims OF the mail order
"a
This is what patronizng the mail order man and neglecting the
home merchants and home institutions does for you and yours.
MORAL: The community that patronizes home institutions will
live and prosper. The n that cings o the mail order man more
ANTIDOTE: Resolve today that you will never again deal your
self and your community a body blow by sending your money away to
the mail order man. Stick to home and home will stay by you, and
your combined energies will bring victory from defeat and prosperity
from disaster.

MAKING OR BREAKING A TOWN

1t is easy enough to kill off a town, but how are W e to rejuvenate
a community that has been literally choked to death by the very people
who should be its best friends and protectors-ts people:
This community is by no means dead, but it has had some solar
plexus blows from people who should have been pushing instead OF
showing
1t has been slowly choked and .strangled by those who have injured
themselves by their acts quite a much Is they have injured the COM
munity.
1t has been done by the inveterate patronizer of the mail order
nal and the big city merchant.
Let us suppose W pictures, and the story will have been told SO
plainly and 50 graphically as to be readily understood by any person
of any degree Of intelligence whatever.
Picture One 80,
This is a thnvn g country community.
that are sold at close margins of profits, is clean, sanitary, and attractive
many ways.
Business is good, money is plentiful and in constant circulation,
society is active, and life is more than worth living.
Farmers find a ready market for their products, and those that are
Tot consumed locally re purchased by shippers at the highest market
prices
The town has a good name abroad, lew people are constantly
moving in, real estate is n the move, farm values are high and tle
demand for them is heavy.
1t is a successful town, but it is 81 only because the people Of the
community trade with their home merchants and are loyal to home in
situations and home people.
The community produces mor than it consumes, and since the
people trade at home the profits and surplus re naturally kept at home,
with the result that the financial condition of the community becomes
better day by day.
This is what loyalty o the home institutions does for you and yours.

JOBS AND THE JOBLEss.

Look at Seattle last year, where
Pauly an itinerant rover, organized
the unemployed, advertised for work.
got it, put men to work and helped
TO feed and clothe the unemployed.
and give them wages for their work.
When an itinerant rover-a tramp
can do something constructive like
that. and in as big a way as that, what
cannot society with team work do
What's the matter with us, any
way? There is plenty Of work ought
to be done. and yet there are thous-
ands and tens &C thousands of men
in this country vainly looking for
work.
Nearly every city and town in the
country have their unemployment
committees that are making a lot of
fuss and raising a lot of money, but
merely scratching the surface of the
real situation.
The government, the state. the
county. the city. the town all have
work that ought to be done. and they
all are corporations not only backed
by unlimited capital, but having no
other excuse for existence but the pro-
motion and security of the public well
fare.
If there is any better method of
promoting public welfare than by
keeping all men always at work, il
has never been DISCOVERIES
If a hundredth part OF the money
annually given in charities yere 10 be
devoted to scientific system for supply
ing work TO all men Ill the time
leaving no excuse for Idleness, results
would be infinitely better.
Most Of the almshouses and prisons
would automatically pass out of ex-
istence. If all men able to work could
always get work and had not excuse
for not working.
