BeIIef In Jonahs.

The belief In Jonahs is contrary TO
the order OF the universe as man most
slowly and painfully, by the use Of all
his spiritual faculties, has discovered
that order. Whatever the explanation
OF extraordinary events may be, the
superstitious explanation is not true
To entertain II for a moment is to
enervate the mind and 10 misinterpret
the universe. That may not be safely
done even in trifes, for none Of us is
far enough away from the dark fears
Of the savage to take risks. We need
to be almost superstitious in our fear
OF superstition, as a reformed drunk.

A CRY OF DISTRESS

just wonder who in Hades,
Ever told our charming ladies'.
That white stockings were becoming;
Setting female hearts to humming
With that weird and dreadful notion
Which has raised so much commotion
In the breasts of emulators,
Say that guy was sure some joker,
Else he was an opium smoker,
Or it might be he was crazy;
All the same he was daisy.
But it really is a pity
That before he reached our city
Some exasperated croaker
Hadn't Drained him with poker;
For our women with devotion
Fell for that outlandish notion,
CAS- It's woman's greatest passion
To pursue the latest fashion D
And for hose of white went fretting,
In their new-found joy, forgetting
That the hoop-skirt and white stocking
Had set intellects to rocking
Years ago, with Indigestion,
And were outlawed beyond question.
Now it is no more than human.
To admire comely woman,
And the sight of one is pleasing;
But it sets my heart to freezing,
Makes my cheerful humor ran1le,
When | see a shapely ankle
Clothed in white, its beauty spelling.
And my interest, recoiling,
Turns to some more prudent woman
Whose attire is not inhuman;
One whose hose is no transgression
On the laws of true expression,
And who gives me the impression
She's a person of discretion.
Now, hate to be knocking,
But a white insipid stocking
Always starts my brain to rocking
And strange ideas come aflocking
In manner truly shocking;
And with thoughts too deep to utter,
Sadly, to myself, | mutter,
81 just wonder who in Hades
Sprung that joke upon the ladies ?"

CURRENT COMMENT

A general strike. tying up the rail-
roads Of this country, is inconceiv-
able. 1t is disaster that would
paralyze the entire United States
and the public demands that some.
thing be done to prevent it. What
this country needs right now, more
than anything else, is Industrial
peace, but il is disturbed by the SER
ious prospect of a labor strike which
would menace every activity. If
there is a strike the railroads will
suffer, but they will not suffer as
heavily as the railroad men them
selves. Surely there is some way by
which an equitable agreement
can be reached. There is much SEN
timent over the country, and this
sentiment is growing as the strike
cloud looms nearer and nearer, that
the controversy be settled by arbi-
tration. One of the propositions is
TO submit the wage question to the
interstate railroad commission.
This government commission, by rea-
son of its accumulated information
bearing on railroad revenues, is in
a position to consider the question |
of increased wages as whole in |
such way as to protect the inter-
ests of all. The public has confidence
in the interstate commerce commits
sion. The other proposition is that
if the service men do not desire to
leave the matter to the arbitration
of the interstate commerce commits
sion, there be arbitration according
to the provisions Of the federal law
by a board selected on terms of equal
representation from the railroads
and their employees The railroad
brotherhoods will make grievous
if they use the force of their
control over train service to attempt
TO compel wages which they would
not submit TO the fair minded consi-
deration of the interstate commerce [
Ultimately the ques- $
ton will be settled by arbitration
Why not settle it before and not af-
ter strike? The issues of the Eu- Q
ropean war will be decided by arbi- d
tration after the comhatants have
fought out their blind fury and af-
Ter millions and millions of lives j
lave been sacrificed If there is u
abroad strike it will ultimately be ii
ettled by arbitration, but after
leavy sacrifice by both sides and
cost to the public. Il
