GOVERNMENT CLERKS UNITE

approximately 5000 government
clerks at Washington, D. c., have
formed a union and taken affiliation
with the American Federation of La
Dor as a sequel to the recent unsuc-
cessful effort in congress to require
them to work eight hours day. The
Federal Employees Union is the name
of the organization, and it pledges
itself not to engage in or support any
strike against the government. It's
aims are to be sought through legis-
lation. All departments of the ex-
ecutive branch of the government are
represented in the membership. There
are approximately 10000 government
clerks in the capital.

TEACHERS ORGANIZE
New York Pedagogues Follow Chicago
Example


Public school teachers in New York
City are discussing organization and
affiliation with the American Fedora
ton of Labor. For some years the
Chicago teachers have been organized,
and while at times it's affairs have
been in a rather tempestuous condi-
ton, great results have been accom-
plished. In New York City sentiment
for unionization has increased be-
cause Of threatened reduction of sal
aries and uncertainty of positions
following the efforts of local poll
ticians to control the public schools
by securing the passage of a "home
rule" law by the state legislature. Of
course, the newspapers are opposing
the movement, but admit that the
teachers are displaying "the trade
union temper" If the teachers but
remain in this frame of mind they will
shortly realize that "the trade union
temper" will gain for them more free.

his record borne out when last sum-

SOME GOOD ACCOMPLISHED
Commission Appointed by Wilson
Gets Results

If the strike against the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, a Rockefeller
corporation, did nothing else, it
aroused the people of that state to a
keener sense in the welfare of the
workingman. The commission ap-
pointed by President Wilson to in
vestigate conditions, headed by Seth
Low, made a report last month, and
in this report it is pointed out that
beneficial laws, such as the creation
of an industrial commission, work
mans compensation and mutual in
surance companies are steps taken in
the right direction. The Rockefeller
industrial plan, however, receives
slight consideration, the report de-
claring that the miners have not en-
deavored to test the good faith of the
employers in allowing them the privi-
lege of joining a union. The men re-
fused the commission's request to
announce that they had affiliated with
a union, declaring they were afraid
they would lose their positions by so
doing.

Warfare Between Land And
Sea as Well as Between Men
feet a year. the records tell ns

feet year. the records tell us.
In it's incessant warfare against the
land, the sea literally takes its captur-
ed hosts. and makes them do battle un-
der its command. The boulders that
are shattered from the face of a cliff
are dashed up against it again and
again. hammering others loose, the
while being worn round and smooth as
the projectiles of big guns must be. AS
the process goes on, these huge shells
arc worn Gown and crumbled until
there remains nothing to tell the story
of forced fighting against their own
stronghold, save grains of sand on
some distant beach or the soft carpet
spread upon the floor of the sea many
fathoms deep.
How rapidly this process goes
on is sometimes strikingly shown. A
schooner laden with bricks is beached
on some bare shore in a storm; these
bricks are rolled and tumhled a dis
lance of five miles or so in the course
Of year and by that time attrition
has usually completed its work. Au-
thorities say that on the shores of
Cape Ann fragment of stone as big
as nail key has been worn completely
round by its constant turning during
the course of but five years.
Some years ago there was discov-
cred in the British Records Office an
elaborate map of the North American
coast from Cape Cod to the Navesink
Hills which is believed to date from
about Ills. 1t gives a wonderful illus
tration of the changes that coastline
may undergo in 200 years. To begin
with, it shows that Cape Cod was at
that time an island, and that near the
point where the natural passage from
the Atlantic to Cape Cod Bay. The
point is located where the channel ex-
listed, and the following notation was
put in by British officer, probably
Capt Cypian Southback, sent out to
capture Bellamy, the pirate:
Eye place where I came through
with a whale-boat, being ordered
by We Governor to look after We

mander, castaway ye Goth day of
April, 1717, where l buried one
hundred and two men drowned"
On this chart the island of Nantuck-
ct and Martha's Vineyard are shown as
a group of six islands. A very great
number of other changes in shoreline
topography are noted.

THE SCHOOL BOY AND ATHLETICS

What real live school boy does not
want to become an athlete, a success
ful competitor in the manly sports of
his school? Many explanations are
given as to why this is so, why he
wishes to become an athlete" Why,
We don't attempt to say, save that it is
the good red American blood handed
down from generation to generation
from the days of the Pilgrims until
now, and that has always done some
thing. To show his ability and skill in
competition with others and to attain
a reputation in athletics which comes
as a result of this competition, seems
tc be a natural instinct and firmly i'm
planted in the breast of every Amer
lean school boy.
This is right, just as it should be.
For the boy who can develop a degree
C skill in any branch of athletics that
will enable him to compete success
fully with his companions has accom-
plished great deal, he is a boy worth
while and as a rule one that will
give a good account of himself in the
years to come in whatever pursuit of
life he may engage. From his athletic
experience he has acquired a GOODNESS,
courage and self-confdence that can
hardly come in any other way, and as
We all know the value of these qualities
cannot be overestimated
The Times-Recorder believes in ath-
letics, in strong, vigorous, robust boys
and manly men that come as a result
,therefrom, hence we commend athletics
to the High school boy, of course not to
the neglect of his Studies We would
sound this warning to the boy just en-
tering High school, and who possesses
athletic ambitions but seems to think
they must possess some supernatural
powers to realize them. 70 these we
would say, this is not so. The only
way to successful attainment of these
ambitions is by hours of hard work.
constant and faithful training.
No, the way to athletic success is not
mysterious or roundabout. 1t is simply
logged, resolute stick-to-ft-iveness.
The thing to do is to pick out the thing
that appeals to you, then go at it, con-
tinue at it keep at it till you have won.
And remember that it is only by re-
peated effort in the face of disappoint-
ment that you can ever do anything
that is worth while. The fellow who
gives up when he is once beaten in
sport is made of very poor stuff, and
VIII stand poor show in the varied
ard real conflicts of life.

DISSATISFIED OR DISSATISFIED,

Do you catch the distinction between
the two terms used in the caption of
this article? There is a vast difference
between the two words in their appH-
cation as you will at once note.
There is a world of possibilities for
the unsatisfed man or woman, but for
the dissatisfed-tha depends. But,
the unsatisfed man, the future has
something definite in store for him.
Tie fact of his being unsatisfied shows
that he has great capacity yet to be
filled, while the dissatisfied man is a
fellow totally out of harmony with
his environment and surroundings.
The only hope of redemption from this
condition is to become dissatisfied
with himself This is the frst step in
his enlargement. One of the great
troubles with the average man is that
he is too satisfied with his present and
takes no thought for the future. The
things they do, the people they associ-
ate with and they themselves seem SUI
flCent for the time, with no thought Of
the days to come. In this state there
is no earthly way to help them, but
once they bacome dissatisfied with this
condition, they open up to conviction
ard sometimes wonders can be
wrought in the way of transformation.
If we could make every fellow dis
satisfied with himself, and could breed
into him a large and liberal discomfort
make him unsatisied with his attain
ments, new hopes and new visions
would come to him. his horizon would
enlarge, his sympathies would deepen
until the world would seem much
smaller than it now is, and as he
would reap the glory of each advance
he would still be unsatisied, knowing
that in part only had he attained all
that would make life worth living.
And the glorious thing about it is that
anyone with the right motive can re-
alize it.
Self-satisfaction is the sure route to
the dead line. The stirring of a better
life within is the best insurance against
it. 1t is not age as so many think that
units man for the duties of life, but
in many instances it is that snug self
satisfied disposition that blinds a fell
low to the gait the other fellow is TAX
irg with the result he is left far in the
lurch.
There are lots of men we know.
bright. brainy fellows, both young and
old, that are failures in life because
they have seated themselves on a stool
of complacency and self satisfaction
forgetting the fact that life should be
one continual round of progress and
attainment. There they sit rusting
away, soon to be consigned to the
scrap heap. Much is the pity. These
fellows need the unrest of the dissat-
isf1ed and the Incentive. of the unsat-
isfed, and to have impressed upon
them that it is not in keeping up with
the other fellow but in forging ahead
OF his pace that makes the winner.
Before the unsatisfied man the dead
line vanishes as the mist before the
morning sun. New determination
comes, renewed vigor springs up and
lie pushes forward to greater and
larger attainments,
