Talk for Campaign Purposes.

Every time a Democratic newspaper
comes out with a blast from Dan
Mack's publicity bureau-all about his
strenuous campaign to the rescue Of
organized labor and the downtrodden
employes-some people smile, and
some sniff in contenrt.
AS matter Of history Congressman
McGillicuddy's strenuosity along the
above lines there are interesting de-
tails. Let us go back to the Baltimore
convention. There the Democratic
party made a solemn pledge:
We pledge the Democratic party,
so far as the Federal jurisdiction
extends, to an employees compen-
sation law provid ng adequate in
demnity for injury to body or loss
of life.
Several weeks ago Representative
Costello Of Pennsylvania, introduced
several bills providing for a plan Of
liza bility insurance for all the civil EN-
ployes of the government injured as It.
result of their occupation. 1t is hard
ly likely that any hearing can be
heard on these bills before the Demo
cratic convention meets. Besides, they
were introduced by Republican
member, and that fact Is not in their
favor when the Democratic party hap
pens to be in control
But there is another bill, which COW
ers precisely the same field and which
was introduced February %, 1913, by
Secretary Of Labor Wilson, who was
then a member Of the House. That bill
since then has been reintroduced no
less than eight times by Representa-
tive McGillicuddy and Senator Kern.
1t was favorably reported on A"~'I q,
1914, and 1t was favcrably reported
second time on May II, 1916.
If the Lewiston congressman could
get reelected with a Democratic Con-
eress about eight times more and a
Democratic President about four
times, perhaps they could enact into
law something in line with their 1912
pledge-provided they were not too
confident of victory and needed this
means to assure necessary votes.
Under the compensation law of 1908
provision is made for only one-auar-
ter Of the governments 100000 en-
ployes. If injured III a branch of the
service not covered by the law, an en-
ploye has no recourse through tho
courts, since the sovereign cannot be
sued. He is lucky If he secures re-
dress through the passage of a private
claims bill by Congress. The Kern
McGillicuddy bill brings all civilian
employees of the United States under
enc uniform law. It would cost, ac-
cording to the estimate Of experts,
about ,one-half of l Per cent of the
present pay roll.
Why not do something more than
talk about it for campaign purposes?

Perhaps few people have passed the
Statue Of Liberty at night without
feeling that this wonderful landmark
ought not to remain shrouded in a
mantle of darkness. In clear weather
this wonderful gift of France to the
people of the Unite States does full
Justice to its mission Of "Enlightening
the World" but at night, except for
beacon at the apex Of the statue,
there is no illumination. Thirty thou
sand dollars is needed to install light
ing plant. The amount is being raised,
and one Of the metropolitan news
papers heads the subscription list with
$1,000, and expresses the hope that the
remaining $4,000 may come from as
many patriotic Americans as there are
dollars to be collected. The plan is to
make the movement. entirely popular,
and therefore small subscriptions, in
Guiding pennies, nickcls and dimes, are
to be solicited. The Statue Of Liberty
was placed on Bedloes Island in the
Harbor Of New York In 1885, and the
Inauguration ceremonies were celbrat-
ed In the presence of 100000 people.
Grover Cleveland was president Of the
United states at that time. and he was
in attendance.

To greet the glorious autumn suns hrst

Have YOU seen the wild ming circles that

On the mirror that the shining waters

And YOU felt your pulses quicken as a
rainbow shadow darts,
Then your plant rods is writhing meath
the blaze.
Have you seen the length Inning shadows
that the dying sunset throws,
AS it fades beyond the dark'ning fringe
Of trees?
Have you ever lain and listened. as the
soft-voiced night wind blows,
To the murmur Of the poplars in the
breeze?
Has it ever been your fortune to observe
the evening star,
AS It rises in cold splendor from the west
While along the ripping waters steals a
Like a pathway to the Islands o the
Blest?

Done all this, and even more, youll never

What a horde Of health and pleasure
waits along the forest ways,
Biding there for him who cares enough
to go.
When you hear the Red Gods calling,
Come away, We sore at heart"
Heed the call, and start for Nature and
