War Destruction of Metals.

War Destruction Of Metals.
The losses of all the metals have
been multiplied many times by the
great war. The British high explos-
i've shrapnel shell goes to the field
with brass head which is unscrewed
thrown away and the time or percus-
sion fuse screwed in. This fuse is
also usually of brass, and the shell
has a copper ring to take the groves
Of the rifing. The shell is fired, and
the copper and brass are lost. If the
shell is shrapnel, the lead-antimony
bullets are lost also. The French
shoot a rifle bullet which is pure cop
per, the other nations, one contain
ing considerable lead and usually an
timony, sometimes with a nickel-steel
or cupro-nickel jacket. Every deton-
ating cap used results in the voIatili-
zation of a little mercury.-E Engineers

If death be final, what is life, with all
It's lavish promises, its thwarted aims,
It's lost ideas, it's dishonored claims,
It's uncompleted growth? A prison
wall,
Whose heartless stones but echo back
our call;
An epitaph recording but our names;
A puppet-stage, where joys and griefs
and shames
Furnish a demOn-jester's carnival;
A plan without purpose or a form;
A roofless temple; an unfinished tale,
And men like madrepores through
calm and storm
Toll and die to build branch of fos-
sill frail,
And add from all their dreams,
thoughts, acts, belief,
A few more inches to a coral-reef.

COOKS.

Cooks may come and cooks may go-but mostly the
latter.
A cook in the kitchen is worth twenty-seven in the
employment agency.
Too many cooks spoil the broths, meats, vegetables
and pastry.
The wages of cooks are death-to incomes.
The old-fashioned cook, the who used to get
the meals wait table, wash the dishes, tend the child

WERE THERE NONE TO CARE.

w ERE THERE NONE IO CAKE
What is life, what is it giving,
That I still should wish to be?~
It would not seem worth the living
We're there none to care for me.
Fortune waves her golden tresses,
And her winning smile I see;
But in vain are her caresses
If there's none to care for me.
Though the world were my posses
sion,
must stOOp to fate's decree,
And must anguish in depression,
We're there none to care for me.
At the shrine of fame and beauty
Thousands humbly bow the knee,
But [ pay my highest duty
To the one who cares for me.
Yes, life's burden will weigh lightly,
And my thoughts will happy be,
While the flame of love burns
(brightly)
In one heart that cares for me.

THE GHOST.

My lady, musing at her mirror said:
'This is my burial night, for I am
dead;
Hope dug the grave and laid my sad
heart there.
Sorrow was sexton, heavy-footed Care
The lanthorn bearer, Love in sober
stole
Was priest, while tickle Joy stayed
but to toll
The bell for; then Memory graved the
stone;
And all being done, they left me there
alone.
But tho the grave is made, the earth
clOse-prest
About my heart. tomorrow I must rise,
Put on my gay attire laugh and jest,
Lest one should read the secret in my
eyes
Let one should know that in this care

Not only in a material way but III every other
way If we adhere to this safe rule we have a
lust right to demand that the other fellow do the
same. In other words, it is none of our business
what religion or creed our neighbor follows as
long as he abides by the law and observes the
common sense rules of sociability, honesty,
heIpfulness and law obedience. The measure Of a
man is not his color, his race, his creed or his
politics. but whether he is sincere and open in
his opinions, and white or black, republican or
democrat, catholic or protestant, Jew or Gen
tile, he lives by the unwritten laws whose
observance induces people to like and res
pect him. A religion that forces men against
their fellows, that turns friendship into hate,
that keeps the smile of gladness from the face
and the beam of friendship from the eye, is in
al candidness a mighty poor religion.

CT R., T. R., T. R." So runs the caption Of the
story on the famous "Gridiron" clubs latest
meeting. Theodore Roosevelt has twice cap
tured the imagination Of the American people,
worshipping as we ever are of the strong dramat-
ic character, and it seems highly possible that
this man with all his undiplomacy, his vagaries
and his impulsiveness, may do the same thing
again. If Teddy" gains again the savvy of the
American people, no power but death can prevent
his election.

dollars. The average man has to pay pretty

'Boy Scouts or Boy Bandits" is the caption OF
a most worthy editorial in the Chicago Daily

hope in our community. Certainly most of US

ganization as the "Boy Scouts, and still average
up fairly good citizens Still with all that mod
ern conditions are different and boys, like men,
are one-ideaed creatures. Giving boy pleasant
things to think about and work over will supplant
evil suggestions and the adventurous side of

Bootlegging is ''bootlegging," although the
law politely calls it selling liquor in no-license
territory and then ironically administers
heavy punishment for attractions of the rule.
We believe that the law of community should
be obeyed, whether some of us individually agree
with the expressed wish of the people or not,
and many man likes drink who will not be a
party to bootlegging operations.

An exchange which ought to know better, and
i'll fact we think does, hurls nearly column of
ammunition decrying Wilson's "pusillanimous"
policy of arranging to "haul down the Ameri-
can flag in the Philippines" Eighteen years ago
many of us were so-caIed imperialists because
we felt that the exigencies of the time demanded
Colonial extension. Time has proven, we be-
lieve the very grave danger of perpetuating
anything like this sort of policy. America is Sc
cure and safe within the borders of the North
American continent Japan could very easily
seize the islands and be in full possession during
the several months we were leisurely getting
ready to move onto the scene of hostities It took
us several years to subdue the semi-civilized and
savage natives. How would we fare in a war
with highly civilized and thoroughly equipped
military power, on the same battle ground?

POLITICS AND THE STRIKE

Several of the large railroad systems
have announced that they will not accept
the provisions of the Admanson bill and
will test its constutionality. The opinion
is very general that the act will not stand
the constitutional test. Of course this
means that in the near future the strike
issue will again confront the railroads and
the people, If the act be held defective,
then we can prepare for the conditions that
have just been postponed.
1t is hard to correctly estimate public
sentiment on this subject for the reason
that both press and public men have
always been leary of candid expression in
cases of labor controversies apparently
fearing business or political boycott at the
hands of the labor unions.
Conservative men, however, believe
that public sentiment was decidedly against
the labor organizations in the strike recently
averted. The press generally had enough
to say to create the impression that it was
with the railroads, though editorial express
ION was not as clear cut as the facts war
ranted.
1t remains to be seen whether or not
the rejection of the Admanson bill will cause
shifting of sentiment from sympathy for
railroads to sympathy for the strikers.
About all that can be expected of the
bill is that it will strengthen the position
of the strikers and put the railroads in de-
fault with the public in case they do reject
its provisions.
If such is the result there will be many
who will doubt the wisdom of the demo
cratic leaders in rushing into the fray
particularly when they had such splendid
opportunity to keep out.
The doubtful attitude of the people or
the subject makes it also doubtful whether
or not the democratic party has gained
votes by its activity in the matter.

ASSESSMENTS

The constitutional amendment that will
be submitted to the people at the fall cleo
ton providing for seprate assessment for
state purposes, is being gen orally discussed
by the Press and is being favorably received
by the people.
Comparative data for the several states
has been compiled and it is shown that
Louisiana is assessed for only one-ffth to
one-third as much as some of the other
states of less population and acreage. The
figures presented seem to prove that Louis
lana property is assessed for about one-third
of it's actual value. OF course figures of this
character prove nothing land in Illinois,
no better than that in Louisiana, will sell
for two hundred dollars per acre while in
Louisiana it will bring only forty dollars per
acre. After all, the test is it's actual market
value, and upon this basis it is probable that
Louisiana is assessed on basis of about
sixty per cent.
We do not believe that System of
dual assessments can exist for any length
of time. The adoption of the amendment
| Will lldNC OllC CllSSI, llOWCNCl, IL VIII GILL
phasize the inequality in assessments and
will at the same time show beyond question
the necessity for change in the tax laws.
The leaders who passed the law knew
full we'll that whenever state assessments
were brought to the top notch, local assess.
ments would soon follow. Increased state
assessments will turn the flash light on I'm.
equal local assessments. The outcome is
easy to sea tendency to increase local as
sessments. We take it that the proposed
law is intended to coerce tax reform!
rather than as permanent measure of leg
islation.
The application of the law will force ;
change of the entire system as soon as thu
people can be heard on the subject. A re
form seems necessary and no harm will b.
done if the adoption Of the proposed amend
ment forces the issue.
