"AU REV0IR"

The Illinois Prairies are calling me home. My dear ones in Egypt are bid ding me come. Glad days of reunion fly swiftly away, We grasp at their pleasure, we bld them to stay. Each day has been precious, fill ed with delight, Each hour a pearl" we've caught in times flight. Old friends we have greeted from years that are flown A hand-clasp, word and they have passed on. Old scenes, old mem ries of loved ones who lie Asleep in Gods acre" until Sweet Bye and Bye" " Nothing Of heart break to sadden them now. For Eafth's bosom folds them, where gentle winds blow All tender affections we shared in the past. Shall live, and endure until the last. We say not good bye, it's word that gives pain. But cheery God bless you til we meet again. And whether our paths cross as ships in the night Or never again hail you all with delight This much we do know and ever hold dear Love abides and will live thi ough the year And Oh, if the way be rough and with thorns May He hold us up, lest our feet strike stone, Until the journey to Far land" be done And face to face we shall greet every one.

FAIR PLAY

is characteristic of Ameri- cans, that no matter what their personal feelings may be on any question, they believe in giving the other fellow fair play.
 A case, however, where this is not being done. at least in Ar kansas, is in the strike of the i Maintenance of the Way Employ es against the Missouri Pacific Railroad for increased wages.
 Without any argument as to whether or not their demands are just, the method of fighting them is manifestly unfair, much more so than the pugiIist who
 strikes below the belt"
 Opponents of the Maintenance of Way Employe taking advan- tage of the general prejudice ex- isting against the organization known as the L ". " are busy creating the impression that the striking Maintenance of Way Employees are members of that organization.
 This is without the slightest foundation. The International Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Empioyes is an organization affiliated nationally with the American Federation of Labor, and locally with the State and Central bodies. In most in stances these men are citizens of the State, very many of them with families. The organization they belong to is only in no way connected with the Industrial Workers If the World. but in complete opposition to it's meth ods, and in behalf of justice. we ask papers, in Arkansas to quote us as declaring tbat the members of the International Brother hood of Maintenance of Way Em ployes, that are striking for something near living wage. are mem mbers of a legitimate la bor union that has no connection with the 1 ".

Some Political Economy

The argument has been a6 vanced that the wealth and re sources of the United States are impaired to the extent of all the money spent by the government for war purposes. The argument IS very unsound There Is a sharp contrast between cost to the government and cost to the people of the country.
