WERE ANTAGONISTS:
NOW CLOSE FRIENDS

]. W. Harrington wears smile on
his face and a song in his heart these
days as he entertains his old friend,
]. A. Norris of Chicago, who is his
guest in Baraboo during the day and
at the cottage at the lake during the
evening. Many are the tales they
swap when in reminiscent moods, of
the days when J. w wore the blue
and J. A. wore the grey as they fought
on opposing sides in the civil war. It
was in '63, during the battle of Little
Rock, Ark, when they were close an
tagonists, that the Union forces drove
the Confederates back. J. w. is
chuckling yet about it, as he reminds
his friend of the occasion. After the
war Mr.. Harrington was employed by
Mr.. Norris, who was foreman of the
signals on the Galena division, which
position is similar to the one now
held by Mr.. Harrington except for
the change which time brings. Mr..
Norris is now rs years old, and has
been pensioned. The men have been
firm friends many years.

WOULD TAKE OVER
RAIL WAYS IF
STRIKE COMES

Declaring that the United States
government was better prepared now
than ever before to operate the rail-
roads of the country j. ]. Keegan, com.
missioner of the department of la
Dor, predicted the government would
take over the roads should the four
great railroad brotherhoods call q
strike of their members.
Keegan said that once the govern
ment took charge of the roads the
men would go to work Immediately.
He based this assertion on the fact
that the government had long since
recognized the eight-hour day, one Of
the bones of contention in the present
controversy between men and employ
ers.
Keegan, who is in ST. Louis as me-
diator between the Missouri Pacific
and it's trackmen, who threaten to
strike, would not say plans had been
formulated to take over the roads.

formation, this step. cannot be avoided
If the men leave their posts. He said
he was practically certain that the
four brotherhoods would vote to
strike.
But | cannot conceive that either
the railroads or the brotherhoods will
let break occur" he said. A COM
promise seems more than probable.
However, should the break occur and
nearly half million men leave their
work, paralyzing transportation and
threatening starvation of the nation,
the government would act in "a hours.
They could do nothing else. Every
railroad in the country would be seized
and, should the government take over
the railroads, they would never again
be released"

There are two little words, simple
enough in themselves, that introduce
untold trouble in the world and are
responsible for more gossip, scandal
and harm than any two words in the
English language. These two little
words are nothing more than "they
say" They have done more to ruin
the regulations than all other things.
If you never quote what "they say
you may be quite certain you are not
a gossip.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Away back last summer nature
prompted the caterpillar to seek out
its place, weave its tiny web and go
to sleep there. Perhaps could the
humble caterpillar have thought
about il he would have wondered and
maybe rebelled because he was forced
to do this inexplicable thing. He had
been very happy in his tiny way. Life
seemed very good to him out there
in the sunshine of last summer, and
me could not understand why he
should have to give up all this and
weave a web in a remote corner and
go to sleep. But you who see the
chrysalis there in the spring sunshine
knew that he had to do this in order
that he might progress to the higher,
better and happier life of the butter
fly. The caterpillar had TO die that
the butterfly could be born Death had
to apparently triumph for little while
that the ultimate and far greater tri-
umph of life and evolution might be
the more complete. And here we
have in humble but none the less
effective phase the story of the resur
rection, the passing Of life into death,
that it may emerge the greater and
more perfect life.
