The Northcountrymen

CThey were men of the North country
There were some who went as far
as Serre, but they never came back
War correspondence of Philip Gibbs)
The Northcountrymen are the men for
work.
And they finish what they've begun:
They never tumble and never shirk,
Or stop till the Job is done.
Whether 1t be to face the shock
OF the heat Of the pudding mill.
Or to load the big ships at the Liverpool
dock.
They do their work with a will;
Or to sail the seas,
Or to chop the trees,
Or to toll in a tropical sun.
When the morning came that the order
gave,
And the great day was at hand,
The Northcountrymen. wave after wave,
Marched into No Mans Land
First, by the ragged fringe of trees,
The scythe Of shot they met;
Trench after trench they storm and seize
With bomb and bayonet;
The lines are passed.
And they hold the last,
Before they make q stand.
OF the sturdy Northcountrymen;
But they were deep in the German lines
Fighting for life Just then.
At last the rockets began to rise,
At last the message comes:
1t comes from out Of the smoky skies:
For Gods sake send US bombs"
They had advances to Serre
In their stanch career,
But they never came back again
The Northcountrymen achieved their deed
And pushed to the last frontiers;
They were men who worked and took no
heed
Or counsel Of their fears
Theirs was the fate Of the great Of earth,
Approved at the judgment seat,
Who gather failure out Of their worth
And victory out of defeat;
Their lives they spend,
But they reach the end
Oh. worthy pioneers!

Scanning the result from New Hampshire,
which always has been solidly for the Republi-
can party, it would seem that the returns indicate
a rebuke for Senator Gallinger, the Republican
leader of the Senate. The senior Senator from
New Hampshire is the father of the old guard
and he has been persistent and constant in his
opposition to the administration and in his ad-
herence to the reactionary path. When New Hamp-
shire can show less than 500 plurality for the
Republican national ticket and Utah is placed in
the Democratic column, it is time for both Sena-
tors Gailinger and Smoot to realize that the pol
icies of the past are not the policies of 1916.

A report lust issued by the Federal Trade Co

A report just issued by the Federal Trade Com
mission indicates that the manufacturers of news
print paper have been making huge profits out of
the publishers of the United States. The COM
mission has been investigating the increased price
of news print paper and now declares that during
the first half of this year. when the price was boost
ed from 50 to 200 per cent the cost of producing
the paper in domestic mills was below the average
cost in the past three years. In other words, ac-
cording to the report the manufacturers have been
making money at both ends-saving on produc-
ton and further increasing profits by greatly in
creased prices which the publishers have been COM
PEELED to pay or go out of business.-Williams-

Ignoring sectionalism and considering the in

A student of local high school failed to attend

There was some complaint by auto owners
when the police issued announcement barring
motor cars from the congested downtown business
streets election night The owners of cars in many
cases had planned to park their machines in front
of a newspaper bulletin screen and comfortably
watch the latest news flashed to the public. II
natural that they should demur when they
learned that their plans could not be carried out
However, the autos were barred, of the biggest

One of the interesting sidelights the election
was the fact that the soldiers the border cast
their votes and citizens in States registered
their choice by mail telegraph With no ques-
ton about the validity honesty of this new vot-
ing plan, it would seem feasible for the entire
country. There is no sound reason why travelling
statesmen, actors and others whose occupations
take them away from the polling booth should be
disfranchised and the existing restrictions on
voting amount to that.
