yAGABoND LURE.

watched the black smudge fade
from sight,
Where an ocean-tranlp breasted
thu gale,
My heart was filled with the black
ness of night,
And / longed for the vagabond
trail.
My dreams had been shattered by
the tramping of feet,
And the cries of the money-mad
host,
longed for camp where the dan
ger-trails meet,
Or driftwood hut on some lonely
coast.
! went when the sunset was flushing
a sail,
And the lights bIinked out from
the town,
My heart forged ahead on the flam-
ing trail
That marked where the sun had
gone down.
The gull Journeyed home on a drift
wood craft,
In the grip of the whispering tide,
I dreamed of the pines where night
winds laughed
HAnd cursed the ship Nth its lam
guild stride.
Now where is the lure Of the vaga-
bond trail
That called me away from the noisy
piers?
Just barren crags where the hill
winds wall,
Morbid and mad with the grief of
the years,
! peer through the shadows that bor-
der the night,
When the florid-face sun has gone
down,
And watch for a star with its falter-
ing light
Like the soft, jeweled eyes of the
town.

Times.

PARCEL POST AND ALASKA

The parcel post of the recent additions the postal facilities furnished by benevolent government may be said to be still its formative It has been great blessing the country and its development bids fair revouonze mechan- dsng branches Its enactment srenuouy opposed quarters and the objections urged against have been borne out actual application But because of the fact that 1t have been overred and the people adjusting themselves to its operation.
 eration should be entitled under the adjustment of parcel post law This be due the fact that there attempt reimburse the for the add onal outlay in carrying mail in Alaska, plan which not aopted with other country with any other class of mail Thus letter may be mailed to any pert of the United States its possessions from Alaska at the postage required for strictly local mail of the class But in the matter of parcel post there is diff ference
 parcel post package weighing twenty pounds say, may be mailed from New York to Idarod distance of perhaps six thousand miles by the followed for the of $40 But that package remaed Idtarod for Flat distance of eight miles, would also S240 In other words the rate applies locally Alaska applies from any portion of the United States the most distant point in its possessions nclu1 ing he Philippines and Samoa package weighing pound may from New York Jersey City for Idtarod for 12 cents.
 Now it hgrGlv probable that there intention the part the authorities discriminate against Alaska but
 that this has been the result The effect of the inequality has been rather unexpected and brings about situation which the attention of the postal authorities should be called the Alaska mail the also engaged carrying express and therefore less into com with the mail It has happened that the parcel post rate between two points of 2 per pound has exceeded that charged by the mail for matter with the result that such matter sent by express instead Of by mall The mail usually stpuaes for certain number of pounds mail and may happen that because of light consn
 of mail matter and heavy offerings of the carrer
 2y receives dout compensation for his load fer which, of the public pays.
 The attention of the postal authorities should be called this discrepancy the parcel in Alaska with the end view of giving residents of Alaska the privileges are enjoyed other parts of the If the local rates were made prohbve the parcel post business might be made material help maintaining mal routes.

A MEANINGLESS PROPOSITION

On the ballot that will be voted the forthcoming election the following: FoT general elgh houF day Agal preference the other of these and m the event that the shall show that majority of the electors have declared general eight hour day the next sue ceedng legislature shall pass such acts aS may be necessary cause such expression of the wishes of the electors to become e enm this subject The proposed eight hour day supposed Aaks''
 In the event of the vote being favorable the proposition of
 general eight hour law there of nothing more than
 moral obligation the part of the ensuing terrto@ g
 re to enact the proposition law, and this obi cacn redeemed there will much confusion and probably on the first test case the will nuify the act.
 Legislatures years Is true have lnirnged upon right but all winch have received the support of judicial decision there has been the plea of public welfare justify in the of those engaged in dangerous occupations such Tn mmes on railroads and ID
 the employment of and children In such sometimes has been held that specifying the number of hours be worked under private valid In the of those employed governemn work the right con recognized regulate the hours ot labor While years has been tendency beray
 ue constitutional provisions with reference to private contracts for the benefit of labor doubtful whether this would hold Tn the of general eight hour av and indeed whether it would be legislation There danger Tn government inter of private and this fact has been ognzd by prominent the ranks of labor Samuel Com ers recently advised against urging of this As the railroad controversy if the designate how hours shall constitute days work m can designate the compensation therefor Whether this would be beneficial desirable the country large, labor itself is questionable
 The general eghthour law proposed for Alaska too in proposition should have been submitted the form in which appears the ballot did not emanate from the demands of labor but evidently the haphazard suggestion of who has kept touch with the labor general hour law for "a and saayearners would be wide in its scope to include fessona artisans aborer clerks telegraph keepers supernendents ressmakers domestcs and forth nad would endless confusion for good purpose None of these occupations the legitimate subject for legislation The only plea under which eight law for and others engaged dangerous occupations be justified that for the public welfare and justified under the constitutional for the safeguarding of the public health.
 The thlS that many who favor of eight hours constituting days work will feel compelled against it this form, and therefore expression of the will be vaue for the purpose of serving a guide the future legislators.

If this is true, 1t is an arraignmrnt of the whole American pco. pie, and not of the Democrats. l cannot think this anything but a base slander On my coun'iYmcn. Let d foreign ship dIs- charge her brCadSideS against any Anefl can port, east or vest and all true A.nefl- cans, whether born in Germany, Au5trIa, Russia England, Ireland, Sweden, Italy or France, will unite for the common defense.
 (e) senator Harding takes up the tariff again, and claims that the return Of peace in Europe will pardlyZc our industries unless the Republicans are allowed to re time rejected by our people.
 ffD \ very serious question, senator Harding goes on to say, is raised in the hcpubnCan platform by its condemnation Df the violated sphere of private enterprise by the establishment of frderaIIy owned and federaIly operated industries and means If transportation. In other words, stop lhe construction of the Alaska railroad, turn over our growing merchant marine 10 the British shipping trust, and let the manufacturers Of explosives and armor plate tax the people all the trafGc will bear. This has been Republican policy in the past and it is Republican policy today. l ven turc t1 say thai if there had been no armOr and mUHitiOn trust in Germany, England, France and America this great war Ill Europe would net have occurred.

 in view of all these arguments, IS 1t too much to say that had the Democrats fol- lowed the high protective tarln policy ia vored by the stand pat Republicans, now in control of that party, and given fat armOr contracts to the steel trust, ana paid q vast bonus to Wall street to build tie Alaska railroad, and made war on Mexico 10 protect the investments of the Standard Oil and w.

Hearst and other Mexican m yestors, and paid the powder trust SIG for government factories Wilson would be deined by big business; the laurel crown would be placed on his brow, and he would be chased with Washington and Lincoln. But he has settled the railroad strike m the interests of the WOrkingmen. He mas approved laws to tax swollen fortunes. He has shown pity 10 suffering Mexico. He has kept Us from the unspcakable calamity betrayed America and hIs name Is anath- CIna.

The Republican point Of view seems to be that if you give to Dives more than ne can eat Lazarus may exist on the crumbs from his table. The Democratic cOnten- tion is that if you give the many poor bet ter opportunity and happier liYlnS cohdI- tions, the few of vast wealth will have so much that they can easily contribute from their incomes taxes to decrease the burden of the poor.
