Tho Song Sparrow.

Is it q dream? The day is done.
The long. warm. fragrant summer day.
Afar beyond the hills the sun
In purpled sp,eEdor sinks away:
The FREELY lights her floating spark,
While here and there the first large
stars
Look out. impatient for the dark:
The cows stand waiting by the bars;
a group of children saunter by
Toward home. with laugh and sportive
word
One pausing. as she hears the high.
Soft prelude of An unseen bird
Observation-Disclosures :
ful-sorrOwful!
Down from i~mmeasurab.e heights
The clear notes drop like crystal rain
The echo of all lost delights.
All youths high hopes. all hidden pain.
AL loves soft muNic, heard no more,
But dreamed Of and remember I'D long
All. how can mortal bird outpoul
Slich human heartbreak In a soi.e?
Wat can he know of iocely years.
OF idols only raised to fall.
OF broken faith n secret tearsH
AID yet his song repeats them all
"Sweet-Sweet-swect-
observation-disclosures fui!''

Newspapers and the Strike:
From the Houston Post

There is no disposition on the part OF
the newspapers of the country. so far as
the Post is aware. to decide the merits
OF either side of the controversy betwcen
the railroad managers and the railroad
workers.
The newspapers are not sitting in iudg-
never In any way expressed even the
shadow Of an opinion as to what is the
right In the matter.
what the Post and other newspapers Of
the United States nave lone is to impress
on both sides of the controversy the gray
tty with which tine entire country views
the situation which has been brought
about by the acts and the words of one
or both the parties to the disagreement.
The newspapers are directly interested
In the matter of the strike.
They are interested in 1t, first. as Il
matter of general Importance to all the
people: Certainly, neither party to the
most momentous thing that has arisen
In the United States in 80 years. 1t re-
quires no stretch of the IMAGINATION to
see that a tying up of the transportation
interests of the country might in a short
time become as much of IL calamity as
was the war of the '6Os.
AS a matter of the utmost gravity, it is
not only the privilege but the duty OF the
press OF the country to warn OF the dam
ger ahead.
But the newspapers have Il more direct
interest-a more selfish interest-in this
threatened stoppage of the transportation
system OF the United States.
II iiiO WV yeats II iidS ctSt Il uii-
f1cult task to supply any large newspaper
with the white paper necessary for the
huge editions which have become neces-
sary In the conduct of the modern bust
ness of newsmocgering. Many of the plh-
fishers have found it necessary. to cuftail
the number of pages. Others have raised
the subscription price of their journals.
Only the more fortunate Aaye been able
to keep their business on the same basis
1t was before the war.
If this has been caused through the
agency of a war in Europe. what would
be the result of Il war between the rail-
roads and their workers in this country?
And a strike is an industrial war of the
worst kind. Such a calamity would mean
that print paper could not be secured at
any price or in any quantity.
Publication of pers would cease
as surely as trains ceased to operate.
Their owners would. be bankrupt. The
union men who make their living out OF
newspapers would be hungry. The coun-
try would be without it's daily or weekly
papers and thousands of men who are de-
pendent on them for a living would be
without.
Here Their lies the right of the news
papers of the country to insist that there
be no tying up of the methods of trans
portation, that the railroad managers and
their men get together and settle their
difficulties. The newspapers have their
own lives at stake in the matter. Trey
are vitality interested. They nave every
right to state their side of the natter
and their side Is the side of the people.
