mind small achievements have won;
These slight fulfillments OF my life are lost,
For when the shadows and day is done
The deeds have failed to do they weigh the most
l should have reached my hand to help friend
Whose heart stepped in bitterness and woe;
But forgot the CHEEKY word to send
Across the way the sad CHANGED to go.
When day Is spent and fancys host,
All, slight Is the achievement have
The deed did is but passing ghost
When weighed against the deed left undone.

Animals Friend: The dog has

he of all animals desert his own kind
and attach himself to man, and this
not in any one country or at any par.
ticular period or time?
From the earliest prehistoric ages
where traces have been found of man
there also have been signs that he
has been accompanied by his dog,
and it is the same in all parts of the
globe, from the north to the south
pole.
Creatures so different as the tiny
griffon, whom you can hold in the
palm of your hand. and the huge
boar-hound, four feet high, have this
same characteristic, that they live
with man and adopt his as their
master or god. We think there must
be some meaning, unknown to us,
behind this, and we have sometimes
wondered whether 1t may be that the
soul OF the dog may need communion
with the human soul in order to for
ward its development and work out
it's destiny.
But lately we have wondered wheth-
er it may not be the other way about
whether the dog is not there in
order that men, with their tempt l.
ton to forget all else in their mater
iai lives, may not always have before
them an example of unseIfish devo-
ton, boundless love, and answering
faith.

WHERE SOCIALISM FAILS.

There are socialists who are sensible enough
to admit the failure Of their propaganda to be
of influence at the beginning and through the
conduct of the war, and to distrust and con-
denim the attempt to find in the socialistic
theory a present means of compelling peace.
Upton Sinclair is such a socialist. He re-
fuses to have any part in the proposed confer
ence of American socialists looking to coop
leration with Russia in move for peace with
out indemnities and without annexations. And
John Spargo is another. Asserting that the
socialist party sis probably the greatest
single obstacle to the progress of socialism IN
America" and has been committed to pro-
gram essentially unneutral,. un-American and
PROG German he announces that he has re-
signed from the party. The detection of Sin
clair and Spargo is blow to organized social
ism in the United States from which it will be
slow to recover, if ever it does. Mr.. Sinclair
finds it possible to be loyal citizen Of this
country and to believe in socialistic theory; he
represents an intelligent socialism which re-
lies on argument to win adherence to its cause
and which demands as an essential to any gov
eminent the protection of its citizens in their
rights and privileges. Mr.. Spargo regards the
socialistic propaganda as pro-German move.
If Intentionally made, he hates tiff unwilling
" made, he deplores it, he says and adds:
Through the utterances and actions of the ma
tional executive committee, the national commit
tee and our press, the party has been placed in
the position Of favorng precisely the things de-
sired by the German foreign office and OF oppos-
Ing the things the German foreign office op-
posed We have repeated all the miserable

window:

serving his country at the front In

OF course, not as much self efface
ment and bravery are needed, but
when man on the farm. through
love OF country, makes unusual effort
in crop production, why shouldn't he
get a card from Uncle Sam with
something like this on It.:
"a man from this house is now
serving his country by raising navy
beans, or sweet corn?"

Another indication that the newspaper press Of
the United States can keep a secret is disclosed
by the news of the arrival at Russian port of
the commission headed by Elihu Root, ambas
sador extraordinary. The engineering com
mission, headed by John T. Stevens, also has
reached Russia and now is enroute to Petro-
grad. After a final conference between Presi-
dent Wilson and Mr.. Root, the commissioners
travelled overland to the Pacific coast and there
boarded fast naval vessel for the voyage to
the orient. Under the voluntary censorship
at the request Of the government, nearly all
American newspapers refrained from publish
ing anything about their departure or the
points through which they passed along the
way While no German submarines are known
to be operating in the Pacific it was deemed
wise to print no details of the trip until the
voyagers were safely landed. The arrival of
the Root commission at Petrograd and the
counsel of it's members may do much toward
steadying and strengthening the hand of the
Russian provisional government.
