SONS OF MARTHA.

Did you ever read that ironical masterpiece by Kipling on the work CTS, called according to the legend The Sons of Martha? How com pletely the workers and the inter- ests of the workers are eclipsed i1 this coming election by the super ior'' interest of those who have, "The Sons of Mary, is only to be explained by some such mysticism which reveals how completely the workers can take the burdens of those who employ them and make them and their employers interests their own. Isn't it worth while when the workers are shouting their heads off for others than those who will identify themselves with the toilers, to reprint this poem which is undoubtedly one of Kip ling's finest, if, especially for the workers, his bitterest, effort?
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-11-04
POLITICAL ADVERTISING.

The Industrial Worker carries number of advertisements by candi. dates for the several positions which will be voted upon d. the election next Tuesday. It might be well to indicate that the presence of such advertisements in this paper does not signify that any or all of them are endorsed by the Industrial Worker for the several positions which they seek.
 That is not the case. The Industrial al Worker is the organ of Local 24O of the Western Federation of Miners and unless a candidate has the endorsement of that body, he cannot have the support of this paper.
 The matter should be quite clear that the presence of this advertising does not influence in the least the editorial policy of the paper. It will not prevent opposition if some of them are to be opposed and it will not in any way secure support for any under any circumstances. In this election, therefore, it is a fair field and no favor as far as l this paper is concerned. That it will greatly affect the workers who goes to Juneau and who gets in their fine work on the legislative mill is for the most part immaterial. Until the system is changed, our advocacy will be for the supreme importance of the economic organization, first, last and all the time. The politicians seek through the columns of this paper to acquaint the general pub lie of their desire for election and of their candidature. That some are pre-eminently unfit for that position we have not the slightest doubt in the world, but like taking a bad medicine, Alaskans don't know whether it will kill or cure until dIter IL IS CaKeH.
 Unqualifiedly the Industrial Work. CT stands for the general eight hour day That is the supreme need of the hour: a shorter work day. You cannot make any suggestion as to legislation which would meet with fuller approval or less opposing ar- gument. The shorter work day stands for the real betterment of the workers: it fits them for the struggle for complete emancipation. It secures them more leisure and it enables them to face the struggle with greater determination to com plete conquest of the social forces for their own industrial freedom. Yet, even this, depends for its ulti- mate success upon strong, com pact, united, single-purposed union to effect it's best results or even to 1 effect any results and it is upon the economic power of the workers that we must unshakingly depend for the ultimate enforcement of labor de- mands on any field whatsoever.
 All else is but dallying with ln- efficiency and whatever vitality we may endow political action with, it should never remove our purpose from the determination to strive upon the economic field for Labor's victory.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-11-04

And the Sons of Mary smile and are blessed-they know the angels are on their side, They know in them is the Grace Mercies multiplied. They. sit at the Feet and hear the Word - they know how truly the promise runs. They have cast their burden upor the Lord, and the Lord He lays it on Martha'S Sons.

SONS OF MARTHA. Rudyard Kipling.

The Sons of Mary seldom bother, for they have inherited that good part
 But the Sons of Martha favor thcir mother of the careful soul ana the troubled heart; And because she lost her temper once, and because she was rude to the Lord her Guest, Her Sons must wait upon Maly $ Sons-world without end, re- prieve or rest. It is their care in all the ages to take the buffet and cushion tie shock;
 It is their care that the gear en- gages; it is their care that the switches lock; It is their care that the wheels run truly; it is their care to embark and entrain, Tally, transport, and deliVer ouls the Sons of Mary by land and main.
 They say to the mountains, Be ye removed!" They say to the less CT floods, Run dry!" Under their rods are the rocks re- proved- they are not afraid of that which is high. Then do all the hilltops shake to the summit; then is the bed or the deep laid bare, That the Sons of Mary may over come it. pleasantly sleeping ana unaware.
 They finger Death at their glove end when they piece and replece the living wires; Death rears against the gates they tend; they feed him hugry be- hind their fires. Early at dawn before men see clear they stumble into his terrible stall,
 And hale him forth like haltered steer, and goad and turn hlm till evenfall. To these from birth is Belief forbid den: for these till death is re- lief afar- They are concerned with matters bidden-under the earth-line their altars are, The secret fountains to follow up' waters withdrawn to restore to the mouth yea and gather the floods as in cup, and pour them again at citys drouth. They do not preach that their God will rouse them little before the nuts work loose; They do not teach that His pity al lows them to leave their work whenever they choose. As in the thronged and the tighten ed ways, so in the dark and the desert they stand, Many and watchful all their days, that their brethren's days may be long in the land. Lift ye the stone or cleave the wood to make path more fair or flat
 Lo! it is black already with blood some Sons of Martha spilled for that
 Not as a ladder from Earth t Heaven, not as an altar to an, creed
 But simple service simply given to his own kind in their common need.

A FISH ELEVATOR.

In order 20 restore tho normal habits of FISH
that have suffered through the building Of dams
which cut of their spawning ground, the Cana
dian government has installed fish elevators 10
enable FISH to ascend rivers that otherwise
would be closed TO them The device, az de
scribed in Popular Mechanics, works automati-
cally at intervals, which can be regulated accord
ing to the number of fab. A sluiceway is built TO
point neat the foot of the falls or dam, and an
elevator tower erected from the suiceway in
such manner that the fish cage can be dumped
al point convenient TO the upper level. The
counterbalance to elevator proper Is a reservoir
somewhat lighter than the FISH cage. When the
cage IL at the bottom, a door r. left open TO ad.
init such fish as may wander into the cage. The
counterpoise reservoir meantime Is being filled
from a hydraulic RAM and when enough wafer
has been received the counterpoise starts down
and the fish elevator starts up. The elevator
door In opened automatically and the fish find
themselves noundering down short incline
which spills them into the river above the dam.
The reservoir IL then emptied and. being lighter
than the elevator proper, ascends as the elevator
descends In this way the action Ia practically
continuous and inexpensive requiring only the
attendance Of Iaborer 20 keep the parts oiled
and adjust the frequency Of the lifts to the de
mands Of the season.

Oh, What's the Use?

William Gerald Simpson. who a few
"a very few-will recall as having been
a candidate in the primaries for presi-
dent of the United States, is very much
put out, (once AGAIN.. over the way we
analyze the voting in which William
Gerald Simpson played such an infinite
sinai part.
We have declared and repeat that the
majority vote for Henry Ford, who made
no campaign, was an expression OF 49,
O5S citizens of Michigan that they are
not in favor of preparedness as advocat-
ed by William Alden Smith, who made
campaign and who received only 77,S72
votes
But William Gerald Simpson insists
that TO the Smith vote there should be
added the William Gerald Simpson vote,
which was 1885. and the total of 3d.
237 votes be accepted as Michigan's ex-
preston on the issue of preparedness,
which would show the opponents of pre-
paredness 9,179 in the rear.
We were moved to take William Gerald
Simpson seriously and reply. when we
got to adding votes ourselves and dis
covered that the vote for Henry Ford
added to that received by William Al
en- Smith gave a total of l6o.93o as
against 1866 votes cast for William
Gerald Simpson, and we said to our
selves: "Oh, what's the use?'
