THE PUBLIC FORUM

SECRET SOCIETIES. - I am a
member of a lodge that has certain
signs and words that are considered
secret" The great question has
often arisen in my mind in the five
years of my utilization with~this lodge
is: Why should men have secrets
from one another in lodges and So
called fraternal societies?
If a man belongs to a so-called fra
ternaI society and he should be at
a place where his assistance would
be of great benefit to some UnfOr-
tUnate being he does not consider it
a duty as much to help that one as
he would if the unfortunate wore an
emblem signifying that he was a fra
ternaI brother. My version of frater-
nalism is to help all and any regard
less of nationality or creed, member
or not of any secret society.-LesIie

be hired in our industries. This will
be our country, he said, and we will
fight for it when the door is closed
against foreign immigration.
Dear cOmrade, you forget to think
that it was foreigner who discov-
cred this country of ours. It was the
foreigner who built the railroads, it
was the foreigner who fought for it's
independence, and now you, for
eigner, tell us that this is our coUn-
try, and we should close the doors
to all foreigners. But you wouldn't
think in this manner if you happened
to be across the ocean instead of in
the U. S. A.
You say that the foreigner works
for less wages, thus preventing the
American citizen from being hired.
But, my dear brother, what proof is
this? This goes to show that the
American business man doesn't care
a straw about American citizens. He
is looking for profit, not citizens. We
don't want to close the doors to any
foreigner. When he lands on our

Tulip Heart Talks to the Bed Knob-By
Farmer Smith

Farmer Smith
One morning after Little Tulip Heart
had come to Cloudland TO marry Prince
Marmolads she woke up In her little gold
bed and yawned. She opened her mouth
very wide and when she shut 1t there was
a delicious strawberry in her mouth.
Little Tulip Hearts eyes popped open
and she looked to see where the strawberry
came from, There was no one in the big
bright room and the roses In the silver
dish on the little pearl table by the bed
seemed sound asleep.
But as Tulip Heart rubbed her eyes she
noticed that one Of the gold knobs on the
rail at the foot OF her bed was smiling at
her. II was just a round gold knob. like
you'll see on lots OF beds, but II had eyes
and nose and mouth. The mouth was
open. showing very white teeth. and the
eyes were open and very blue.
Don't be frightened. Tulip Heart" said
the bed knob. "BumbIe. the king of the
bees brought that strawberry in and
dropped 1t in your mouth. saw him do
It."
"But who are your" asked Tulip Heart.
"Ars you alIve7"

CHAPTER vIII--continued

TNHH Halfmoon was almost upon the
i cliffs base when narrow opening
showed hardly cables length before her
nose, an opening through which the sea ran
in long, surging sweeps. rolling back upon
itself in angry breakers that filled the
aperture with swirling water and high-fiung
spume.
To have attempted to drive the ship into
such q place would have been the height OF
madness under ordinary circumstances. No
man knew what lay beyond, nor whether
the opening carried sufficient water to float
the Halfmoon, though the long, powerful
sweep of the sea as It entered denoted con-
siderable depth.
