Heart.Songs.


(Rosamond Reed.)
The song of the brook in the meadow
The song of the browsing bees.
The song of natures Ministries,
Ringing clear in the trees.
The song that happy mother.
Croons to the babe at her breast,
Softly lulling her darling,
Till he sinks in quiet rest
The song of youth and maiden,
Love songs, soft and low,
The song of the aged woman,
Rocking to and fro.
The song that the stalwart worker
Sings as he whets his scythe,
The song of the barefoot laddie,
Happy in being alive
The low song of the patient watcher.
Sung over and over again.
Forgetting her own hearts acnlng'
To ease anothers pain.
The songs Of the sad and happy,
The song Of hope and love,
They rise, the hearts sweet incense,
Up to the blue above.
An organization of B. & A. off7clais

to lessen accidents among its en-
ployees and the travelling pubic, says

Safety First" and it is mighty
good slogan too. as it readily sug-
gests something that everybody can
understand. Nearly every accident
that occurs is the result Of careless
ness or thoughtlessness which might
be prevented if the motto were kept
in mind. Workmea during the past

(From a Staff correspondsnt,)


Washington, Dec. 4.-(special Tele.
gram. )-Representative Sloan, asked
f6r an explanation why Nebraska
went for Wilson, said:
The returns from the northwest
in which Nebraska figures, seem to
demonstrate two propositions.
"First-The president was tolerated
because he was given credit for hay'
ing kept the country out Of war,
Second - Democratic legislation
especially the tariff, which has been
their major Legislation, was repudi,
ated by the northwest. The president
gained generally in the states OF the
northwest. j.,
His gain was apparently in both
city and country, yet the larger per
centage OF his gain was in the cities
and towns as distinguished from the
purely country districts, and the dis
tricts containing small villages,
THE northwest, beginning with In
diana, shows gains Of seventeen re-
publican congressman. If the repub
licans organize the house it will BE-
by reason OF their gain in the north
west against which section the legis'
lation OF the last four years has beer
directed. Further, the northwest as
whole appears to repeat on large
scale what we find in the Nebraska
congressional vote, that, the collective
vote for the republican candidates ex
ceeded the collective votes OF their op
ponents,
while the president has been alter
natcly praised or blamed for legisla
ton enacted, the people Of the north
west evidently have held the house o
representatives, the body constitution
ally charged with responsibility, a.
responsible for adverse legislation.
II shah oppose the proposed foot
embargo Although the embargo woulc
be in line with other adverse legisla
ton against the northwest, ! do no
think that it can be carried out. GU
tariff laws admit free from the worlt
food products to be sold to the Amer
can people The embargo would den,
| us the privilege of selling to anybod,
else in the world In other words
the Underwood tariff law removed tn,
reasonable protection the produce
had in the professed interest of tn
consumer. The embargo would Civ
prohbitivc protection to the con
sumer and against the producer. Thi

SEWARD GREETS SULZER WITH A
 HOUSING TIME
Greatest Enthusiasm of History Is Manifested when Candidate
 Makes Speech.

SEWARD, Oct. 2S.-Seward never saw such enthusiasm at political meeting as was displayed by the big crowd that filled the big Arctic Brotherhood hall last night to hear Senator Charles A. Sulzer speak cn the issues of the present cam paign. Again and again the en- thuslasm broke into cheers that made the rafters quake. Senator Sulzer made a splendid impression With a dignity that was in vivid contrast with the methods of his opponent. confniug himself Co re- corded facts, his expose of Wicker sham's stewardship produced tell ing effect. Showing up the record of the Delegate, Wickersham got such a trimming as he never before received in Seward.
 When Senator Sulzer in measured words and earnest periods denounc- ed Delegate Wickersham for his bru- tai and personal attack on Col. Ri- chordson at Seward. because he had been told that the Board of Road Commissioners had enemies at Se- ward. but lacked the courage to att tack the board at Valdez where he knew that the Board has friends, he brought his audience to its feet.
 Sulzer will more than double the Bunnell vote here, and will carry Seward by a safe majority.
 Anchorage Changing to Sulzer.
 Word received here from Anch- orage today indicates that condi- tions there are far more favorable than they have been thus far. Sul- ger has been steadily gaining ground there. He is promised a great re- ceptiou when he arrives there.
