 Ring out across the Diamond of my Strife.
 That ends the little Game which we
 call Life,
 I shall not care about the score at How well fielded. how hit the ball. Nor all the cheering and the tumult
 rife.
 Nor shouts of scorn that once cut like
 knife . These shall not matter in the endless
 pail.
 These shall not matter on that final
 day,
 When Life's game passes with the
 setting sun.
 If but hear the Mighty Umpire say, 'sThe records show no pennant you
 have won No brilliant average that brings you
 fame,
 Yet you go up because you played the
 game" -Grantland Rice. Visitors cordially invited. Reserved seats for tho ladies.

SYMPATHY

with whom do we sympathize
in the pending WARP asks cor
respondent. Well answer that.
With the German, Belgian, French
and English boys who man the
trenches. With the German, Frenchi
English and Belgian boys who crowd
the hospitals. With the mothers
who bore these boys. With the faith
ers who saw them grow to manhood
and loved them as they grew. With
the women who were welded to
these boys. With the children they
left when they marched to the front
With the poor peasant woman who
struggles against the press of war
efgendered poverty. With those who
in the cities. Cry out for food. With
the men who fight for fatherland,
hating war in their hearts. With
the great artists like kreisler who
must turn their marvellous melody
producing fingers to works of des-
truction. With the people who mus
live out their days with lives forever
biighted by this war. With the in
nocent whose fields have been tramp
led under foot by marching armies.
With all the host of those who under
the press of mistaken patriotism
must offer up their lives. Those
are the ones with whom we sym-
pathize. -Johnstown Democrat.

LINCOLN WALKS AT MIDNIGHT

written at Springfield. ILL.,
1t is portentous and thing of state
That here at midnight, In our
little town
A mourning figure walks and will
not rest
Near the old court house. pacing
up and down.
Or by his homestead. or the shadow
ed yards
He fingers where his children
used to play
Or through the market; on the we'll
worn stones
He stalks until the dawn stars
burn away.
A bronzed lank man! His suit Of
ancient black,
A famous high-top hat and plain
worn shawl
Make him the quaint great figure
that we love.
The prairie lawyer, master Of
us all.
He cannot sleep upon his hillside
now.
He is among us. as In times be-
fore!
And we who toss and lie awake
for long
Breathe deep, and start. to see
him pass the door.
His head is bowed. He THINKS on
men and kings.
Yea, when the sick world cries,
how can he sleep?
Too many peasants fight. they know
not why,
Too many homesteads in black
terror weep.
The sins Of all the war lords burn
his heart.
He sees the dreadnaughts scour-
ing every main.
He carries on his shawl-wrapt
shoulders now
The bitterness, the folly and the
pain.
He cannot rest until a spirit-dawn
Shall cOme-the thinking hope
of Europe free;
The league OF sober folk, the WORK
ers' Earth
Bringing long peace to CORTLAND,
Alp and Sea.
It breaks his heart that kings must
murder still,
That all his hours of travail here
for men.
Seem yet in vain. And who will
bring white peace
That he may sleep upon his hill
again?

Independent.

DISCRIMINATION ON
MILK PRICES FOUGHT

A bill to make 1t felony for a
company to pay more for milk.
cream or butter fat In one section
than in another, will be introduced
into the legislature this session, az
result Of an action taken by the
stockholders of the Lynden Cream
cry Company at their annual meet
ing Tuesday. A resolution was a.
dopted urging Whatcom county rep
resentatives to help pass the meas
ure.
1t was pointed out that some
of the large creameries showed dis
elimination between different sect
ions. offering more for dairy pro-
ducts in districts where they had
competition than in others. The
following .law from the Idaho stat
utes. was suggested as pattern.
for the Washington bill:
ANY person., firm, copartnership
or corporation engaged in the busi-
ness of buying milk, cream, or but
ter fat, for the purpose of manufac-
ture. who shall discriminate bet tween
different sections, localities, COM
munities or cities of the state, by
purchasing such commodity at
higher price or rate in one locality
than Is paid for the same commod-
ity by said person. firm. copartner-
ship or corporation in another local
ity whether such locality be within
or without the state of Idaho, after
making due allowance for the diff
ference. il any, in the active cost
OF transportation from the locality
of purchase to the locality of manu-
shall be deemed guilty Of
unfair discrimination and upon con-
viction thereof shall be punished AS
provided by law"

Some distinguished English medi-
cal and army men have issued a
statement that careful experiments
and long experience have proved the
bad effect that alcohol has on ply

challenged by the Londen Brewers
Journal. which wants to know when
that alcohol is not a benefit to the
person who drinks it. That is prov
ed by the experience of the Kansas

per cent of it's patients have been

have not been-at least not just be-

THE PROGRESSIVE STRENGTH

The GItOGREoo II . hEISb II
The strength of the Progressive
party and its power over the Two
older parties, is discussed In the fol-
lowing excerpt from an article by
the Washington correspondent OF
The New York Evening Post:
while the progressive party adj
mittedly did not make showing III
the recent congressional elections
at all, commensurate with its show
ing in 1912, the democrats, never
theless owe 10 its existence their
continuation III control of the house
in the next congress.
When the republican congressional
committee entered upon the recent
congressional campaign 1t found
that it needed the support of mem
bers of the progressive party i'll "a
congressional districts in order To
elect the republican candidate.
In the present congress there are
2S6 democrats, 123 republicans, five
progressives, one Independent ana
five vacancies. In congress which
will come into being after March A.,
republicans, seven progresslVes, one
indepndnt and one socialist. Thls
represents a loss in the next con-
gress of 54 democrats, five progress
i've republicans, eight progresslyes
and republican gain of II and a
socialist gain of one.
Based on the votes for united
States senator apd for governor In
the various states, the effect OF e
split in the republican party in l9l2
was still noticible.
1t has been estimated by the pro-
gressive party il the recent campafg1
east a total of 100000 votes
in the entire country. The o1flclal
figures are not yet available TO show
that vote in detail. If II IS not true
however, and the same proportion
should hold good i'll the detection
of 1916, there would be a difference
between the democratic and repab-
lican vote of about 100000.
In the last election President Will
son had a plurality of 2,160, 194.
Assuming, however, that the repub-
lican party will organize for the
next 1lGCllOH dS IL WIS W Sun
in 1912, for obvious reasons, THIS
margin might easily be wiped out.
In fact, il. is entirely possible 10
be defeated by q large plurality OF
votes and still to win an election II
the votes received are properly DIS
tributed. On the other hand, should
any considerable number of the re-
mainder of the progressive party re-
turn to the republican party III l9l b
the chances of victory for that party
provided its record Ill the next two
years merits its support, would be
proportionately increased.
This fact has already been recog-
nized by the democratic leaders. land
the next two years Will see stra-
tegic political contest of tne great
est possible interest to the ehtlFe
! country.

A bill to reduce the 15 per cent
charged on delinquent taxes to 10
per cent will be introduced into the
legislature by one of Whatcom
County's representatives., F. D. Yale.
1.-THE state law makes 1t usury for
money loaners to charge more than
IL per cent interest, but turns
around and charges Is per cent on
delinquent taxes, which are virtually
a loan to the property owners" Mr..
Yale says. 81 believe that the poor
people are the ones who suffer most
by this high rate of interest. The
rich people usually pay up their taxes
early in the year in order to get the
advantage of the per cent rebate.
The rich people will pay up just as
quickly if the interest on delinquent
taxes is only 10 instead Of Is pre-
cent. On the other hand. the poor
man will not suffer SO severely II
he is unable to pay his taxes when
they become delinquent"
