Let 1t Be Said of Me,

Let it be said of me Not that my wit was subtlest of
 them all Not that it's thrust was keenest; that
 the fall Of him, my foe, was compassed by my
 act; That I was versed ir language, lore
 or fact; Not that I had the gift of speech to A multitude to think the other way: Not that the world of custom was ny
 guide; Not that in rich possessions was my
 pride. Let it be said of me Not that I strove and ran and won
 the prize, And blocked the way when others
 sought to rise; Not that my voice was heard in wild
 hurrah When ancient license posed, as higher
 law; Not that my eyes were blind when
 sham was set To dazzle folly into mild regret; Not that my ears were deaf to sob
 and cry Beneath the wheels when splendor
 hurried by. Let it be said of me Wherever there was holy cause to serve, Or hearts that ache, or perils that
 unnerVe; Wherever there was arduous task to A path to light, duty to pursue: Wherever there was child to wres3
 from wrong, Or weary soul athirst for love and song, Wherever slaves of time cried to De free, My hand was reached--let it be said of me. Kate Brownlee Sherwood.

 '' From this overwhelming disas- ter the MinOan empire never recOv- cred. The palace of KnOssos was never reOccupied as a palace, at least on anything like the scale of former significance. The invaders possibly departed as quickly as they had come, or if, as seems more probable they es- tablished themselves as ruling caste among the subject Min0ans, they chose for their dwelling other sites than those of the old palaces. The broken fragm ents of the Minoan race Crept back after the sack of the black ened ruins of their holy and beautiful house, not to rebuild it, but to divide it's stately rooms and those of it's de- pendencies by rude walls into poor dwelling hiuses, where they lived on q very different life from that of the golden days before the sacE.''

WRITING AND WRITERS.

There are those who make their living by the sweat of the brow and others who attain the same end by the dipping of pens in ink or by bounding typeWriters. To this latter class belong the one thousand four hundred members of the Authors League of America. Recently they were invited to join the ranks of laboringmen and affiliate with the American Federation of Labor Last night the executive committee of the league and a special committee met to decide whether they should cast their lot with the workingmen of the country. After due deliberation they announced that the invitation of the laboring men would be returned with thanks that writing is a joy, not work, even if men and women get paid good money for doing it. So there the matter rests. There will be no "unionization" of the authors.
 To those who wield their pens in the quiet of country mansions and turn out reams Of reading matter for the public, writing may be joy,- even if they do or do not get paid for it. To those who write poetry or any other choice morseIs of verse only spiration visits them writing must be surely joy. It is a slightly different thing however to that great mass Of writers who must pound away on any and all subjects, day in and day out, TOT ever cease in their endeavors until death do them part Writing on schedule time and writing for the movies or for the novel publishers are different things, very different. And yet a writer, no matter what he Writes unless it be checks, can never really other labor organizations because of the nature of his working hours. The work of the novelist is far re- moved from that Of the men who want him as their associate in the ranks of union labor. In a nutshell writing is labor and it is not labor At any rate, it is not the kind of labor that can be made conform to any standards of a labor orgaization inso- fir as the actual work goes. Therefore, 1t is a good thing that the Authors league of America has rejected the plan to become associated with the American Federation of Labor. There could be no substantial gain one way CT the other by such an as- sociation.

Never in the history of the country has a politician had the nerve to go Stumping among the soldiers of the United States army, and yet Colonel Roosevelt is planning a political speech to be delivered at Fl Paso, Texas, where there are more than 25,00O National guardsmen gathered. True, there are some 5Q.OOO civilians in Fl Paso, but whatever Roosevelt says against the Commander-in-Ch Chief of the United States Army must be heard by the soldiers. It does not make for good morale in the army to have the Commander-in-C Chief con- demned by politician. Anyway Texas is so strong a Democratic state the Colonel cannot hope to turn any votes, so why worry the soldiers?

ton before: why should a sub marine go three thousand miles away from the scene of actual warfare to capture vessels that cannot in any circumstances be lowed to port as prizes?" The answer to that ques- ton, in view of the fact that sub marines can operate on the other side of the Atlantic as well as on this side, will determine whether the sinking of those vessels off the coast of Nan tucket may be classed as ruthless warfare

INJUNCTION AGAINST STRIKING
SECURED BY OLD CONDUCTOR

as separate units in the brotherhocds,
but that at that time the rules were
amended and it was provided that
the vote OF all should rule the con-
ductors on each road. He claims
this is illegal because the strike bal
lots were sent out June 10 and that,
he claims, the conductors of the IN
ion Pacific did not cast two-th1rds
vote authorizing the strike.
Hamilton asserts that If the strike
goes on he will lose his pension
rights if he strikes, or If he does not
strike he will lose his rights in the
brotherhood, and 80 brings the suit
not only for himself but all similarly
affected.
Court officials are trying to get
service on Garretson. who lives in
Des Moines, and a long string of 9TH
er officials widely scattered.
Union Pacific railway officials here
today made statements claiming that
the sentiment of a majority of the
Union Pacific employees We're against
strike order and that Hamilton Is
correct in claiming that the Union
Pacific employees should not be bound
by the rules claimed to have been
adopted July 1.
Hamilton denies that the railways
are back of his suit.
