The Westerly Clerks association has been organized only month and hsa already achieved one of its main objects-the closing of stores in Wes- terly Monday evenings generally, and improving the working conditions of clerks employed in stores where to de- mand their closing, would be unrea : Sonable, by reason of the nature Of their business. The activity of the clerks has caused the infusion of life into the Westerly Retail Merchants
 association, and now there is a better and clearer understanding of the reia- tions between the employer and en- ployeS, and there is mutuaity for the general good of both. The clerks organization will probably in a short time reach the maximum membership and strengthen with age.
 Organizer Robert K. Marshall of Boston, made an address at the meet ing of clerks. Thursday evening, and dwelt at length upon the absolute ne- ceSsity for clerks to work to the very best advantage for their employers, so that both may succeed. He urged the clerks to stick close to their em- pIoyers and give faithful service, which, he said, would not pass unap- preciated. Employers have rights that must be respected, and so have the clerks. for. it is poor rule that is not equally balanced.

THE PIONEER.

They go among the wondering stars.
And the gray gathered clouds divide
Before the broad winged shining cars
Whereon the new knights-errant
ride;
Distance. and time. and ancient fears
Have been forgot:
Storm and the sea, the old barriers,
Control them not.
He never sailed the open sky
No such proud wings as theirs he
had;
And he had cen such bravery,
But he was called fool. and mad
Though the flesh failed the spirit knew
And vainly tried.
Few needed when he lived. and few
Knew when he died.
Because he waIlowed foolishiy.
They swing across black skies or
blue;
Because he fought and failed. they fly.
Because he dreamed. their dream Is
true.
Doubtless. in spheres we do not know,
whittier he went,
His patient, valiant spirit now
Is well content.

rejoice sincerely that the President
has SO strongly expressed his conVic-
ton OF the high duty of the United
States to help organize the WORLDS
power to suppress national lawless-
ness and enforce due procedure FOR
the peaceful settlement of interna-

His speech is an epoch in the his
tory OF our foreign policy His ad-
vocacy OF our participation in the
world league Is a most powerful aid
to It's formation. It irsures the at
tention and interest of the American
people who must ultimately Judge OF
the wisdom of tho policy before we
enter upon II. It will stimulate dis
cussion OF our world responsibilities
Of the burdens we must assume In
meeting It. We cordially sympathize,
too, with the Presidents inslstance
that the United States cannot Join

of such a league who believe that only

not peace selfishly dictated by con-
querors but just peace wrested from

determine the correctness of one or
the other view.
Then others may not have fully
