THE sRAVEsT BATTLE.

THE BRAVEST BATTLE.
The bravest battle that ever was
fought,
Shall | tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world youll find
it not;
Twas fought by the mothers of
men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot.
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or
thought
From mouth of wonderful men,
s But deep in a walled ,p-s- woma1fs
heart
OF women that would not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her part
Lo! there is the battle field
No marshalling troops, no bvouac
song,
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But oh, these battles, they last so
From babyhood to the grave.

THE PEOPLE ALWAYS

IL
the greatest statesman OF ali

could safely trust to the declS
ion of the majority of the PEG
pie on any question that affect
ed them. The public mind
and conscience is nicely attun-
ed to the public welfare and
seldom goes astray. Given a
free hand in the working out
of their destiny no people
would ever come to grief, 1t
is only when seif-seeking and
deceitful leaders becioi.d is
sues for their own selfish pur-
poses that the people are Sc
duced.
So much preliminary to the
assertion that the American
people-the great, sober, reas-
oning majority-are right to-
day. Without fuss and fea-
theirs they have decreed a
course of action that shall pre-
serve the national. veal and

are not likely to be lightly
turned from that course.
''Vox populi, vox Del" new
er had a more direct applica-
ton than to the atitde of the
American people in the pres

the supreme power, the voice
of the people should not ONLY

authority.
This we are failing to do.

forth most herculean efforts to
