Is THERE NO REMEDY?

The impending threat OF nation
wide railroad strike has brought the
attention of many thoughtful minds
to the question of what we can do as
a people to prevent these frequently
occurring Industrial disturbances or
to settle with them az they occur
with Justice to all parties. Under the
long prevailing impression that cor
porations are always bound to be in
the wrong and that their best paid
servants are even yet being denied
their rights, we might resort To the
Roosevelt plan ana settle these differ
onccs by the force of political pres
tigc, as he did with Mr.. Bacr in the
Pennsylvania coal fields. But unfor-
tunately the forces Of labor are some
times invoked to pcrpctratc an in
Justice and corporations are asked for
concessions that border closely on
confiscation Usually justice has been
on the side of the wagc-earner. but
not always Sometimes questions arc
involved that even the Investigations
Of government agencies are not able
TO solve who then is to say when
the cause is Just ana when II is not ?.
Something should be done to satisfy
the Just claims of the laborer without
doing a great injustice to the man
who pays the wages. and above all
To prevent the innocent public from
having to suffer because Of the dis
rute. The agitator will say that the
corporations are to blame because
they do not yield while the capitalist
will say that strikes should be sup
pressed and punished; but the sensi-
bic citizen knows that neither state
mont is right Yet some way must he
found that these questions could be
settled without causing suffering and
damage 10 those who are in no way
responsible for the dispute. Arbitra-
tion is only optional and, because it
has often failed to do more than
patch up a temporary truce. arbitra-
ton is in bad rcputc. 1t will be a
wise statesman who can tell us how
10 do equal and exact justice to both
capital and labor and relieve the
country of the menace of the striker.

THE PRIMARY IMPEDIMENT.

The advocates of the primary sys-
tenn have told us in times past that
It was the one solution for check
mating partisan impurity and for
putting the machinery of party poll
ties in the hands of the voters. How
misorably it has failed to accomplish
this purpose we all have seen repeat
odly. If we needed any further evil
dencc of it's failure we have only to
consider the absurd situation which
has arisen in the proceedings Of the
Republican party this year on ac-
count Of it's absurd limitations. In
stead Of enabling the Republican
voters OF the various states to send
delegates to the national convention
authorized To vote for their choice for
"A presidential nominee. il has forced
the citizens whore this law is in force
to instruct their delegates for a fig
urchoad. trusting them after the first
ballot to align themselves according
to developments The voters them
selves will thus have less to say than
ever before as to who shall be nomi-
mated. Some Of the men who are
popular favorites have declined to
come out and seek the nomination by
having their names on the primary
ballots. and the instructions have
gone to second choice who has but
very little chance Of securing the ma
tional honor. The result so far has
been in states where the presidential
primary is I'm force. that the voters
have largely allowed it to go by de-
fault because they could not lawfully
vote for the man of their choice. one
of our American traditions is that the
best choice is likely to be made when
the office seeks the man. yet this pet
law of the rcformcrs would make it
compulsory on the man to seek the
office before the voters would have
the power to nominate him. Instead
of an Improvement in politics. it has
been n backward step. Instead of
bringing the nominating power nearer
the people 1t has taken it farther
away.

administration. This IL a thing to be
| expected, but usually the dicordant
ones are COURAGEOUS enough to retain
their seats and to battle for their
convictions even If they are in "A
hopeless minority. Not so Represen-
tatiye Page of the Seventh North
Carolina district, who has recently
notified his Democratic constituents
that he will not be "a candidate for
denomination. lie gives as a reason
that he Is unable to agree with the
administration on questions of foreign
policy and he thinks 1t unwise to con-
tinuc in congress under these cir
rumstances. AS long az he can't
train with the majority he will get
out on the road and let them have
their way Mr.. Page has had many
bouquets thrown at him for his "cour-
agcous" stand for principle and
he has been highly complmented on
the supposition that he had no oppo-
sition for denomination. But 1t is
worth while to look at the election
returns from his district in 1914. In
that year Mr.. Page received 14,7S9
votes to his opponents 12,S63. This
year the Republicans in North
Carolina are united and aggressive.
There is growing sentiment in that
state for protection and other Re
publican doctrines. and ii is just pos
siblc Mr.. Pages grandstand play has
been staged with all these facts in
view. At least. the fact that his seat
in congress was not by any means Sc
cure takes away from his courageous"
remuneration all the scmblance of the
heroic. II looks more like he was
discreet enough to get from under
while the getting was good. But It
is shame to deny him any of the
consolation he can get from the pop
ular impression that he had made a
sacrifice for the sake OF principle.

expecting new world comradeshi ip.
Every shot is battering away at the
hes upon which society has been
founded and blasting foundations for
world democracy that cannot he
shaken. Conflict must give way
to cooperation. and as the smoke of
battle clears the pawns will become
the kings, resentful only of the slain
IDEAL which sent them forth to kill.
Then democracy will have its real
reign. and we shall hear little of
kings palaces. but much of
kings cottages. And every man shall
rule who can learn to sing:
There are hermit souls that live
withdrawn,
In the peace of their self content.
There are souls like stars that dwell

In fellowless firmament.
There are pioneer souls that blaze

But let me live by the side Of the

FATHER.

Used to wonder just why father
Never had much time for play,
Used to wonder why he'd rather
Work each minute Of the day,
Used to wonder why he never
Loafed along the road an shirked;
Can't recall time whenever
Father played while others worked.
Father didn't dress in fashion,
Sort of hated clothing new.
style with him was not a passion,
He had other things in view.
Boys are blind to much that's going
On about 'em day by day.
And / had no way of knowing
What became of fathers pay
All I knew was when I needed
Shoes / got 'em on the spot;
Everything for which / pleaded
Somehow. father always got.
wondered season after season,
Why he never took q rest,
And that ! might be the reason
Then / never even guessed.
Father set store on knowledge,
If he'd lived to have his way
He'd have sent me off to college
And the bills been glad to pay
That 1 know was his ambition
Now and then he used to say
He'd have done his earthly mission
On my graduation day.
Saw his cheeks were getting paler,
Didn't understand Just why. ~
Saw his body growing Trailer,
Then at last l saw him die.
Rest had come! His tasks were ended,
Calm was written on his brow;
Fathers life was big and splendid,
And / understand 1t now.
