in the bureau of engraving and printing,
in the matter of hours of labor, is VIC
tory for that distinguished member of
the house of representatives which will
give her considerable prestige. 1t is alto

vent the bureau from working women
overtime, Miss Rankin did not nave the
united support of the women employees.
Undoubtedly many Of them wished to
work overtime in order to earn extra
compensation If that be the case, as
it probably is, then the victory won by
Miss Rankin is all the more notable for
the reason that she carried her point with

SONGS OUT OF STRESS.

From my spirits gray defeat,
From my pulses tagging beat,
From my hopes that turn to sand ),
Sitting through my close-clenched hand
From my own faults slavery,
If | can sing, / still am free.
For with my singing | can make
A refuge for my spirits sake,
A house of shining words, to be
My fragile immortality.
/ heard wood-thrush in the dusk,
Twirl three notes and make a star
NV heart that malked with bitterness
Came back from very far.
Three shining notes were all ne had,
And yet they made starry call
| caught life back against my breast
And kissed it, scars and all.

MOSES AND THE STACKER.

4 ND Moses said unto the children of
II Cad and to the children of Reuben,
Shall your brethren go to war, and
shall We sit here? Numbers xxi, 6.
The land of Gilead seemed pleasant
and desirable place for the children of
Cad and the children Of Reuben. They
wanted to settle down there and pasture
their cattle, leaving the task of crossing
the Jordan and conquering the Promised
Land to other tribes of Israel.
But Moses had no time for slackers. He
said that the children of Cad and Reuben
must do their bit in the war Israel had
undertaken against the Canaanites, if
they wanted to possess Gilead, says The
Minneapolis Journal.
Slackers have never been popular. They
are always willing to settle down in Gilead,
while their fellows go 20 war in Canna1.
But one of the greatest lawgivers in the
history of mankind would have none OF
such injustice.
Moses arranged a selective consumption
perhaps the first on record. He per-
mitted the Gaddites aud Reubenites to
build cities and sheepfolds in Gilead, and
to possess the land, but he required that
their fighting men cross the Jordan with
the other tribes of Israel and bear their
share of the warfare.-Joe Reynolds in
Mankato Free Press.

While the controversy between the gov
eminent and the coal interests remains
undecided, the public continues to pay
about twice as much for coal as it is worth.
Most of us are more concerned with the
cost of coal to us than the cost of coal to
the government. Any establishment OF
prices on government contracts that leaves
us out will be futile. We use far more
coal than the army and navy do. We want
protection We want assurance that we
will not have to pay present prices for
next winters coal. We want the govern
ment to get busy about it, establishing
regulation of public and private coal prices
at the same time.-Green Bay Gazette.

Thank goodness! Gunnar Bjornson has
gotten through with his experiment to
see if anybody reads his editorials, ana
is again filling his editorial columns with
the best literature published in any paper
in the state, bar none. Gunnar IS so
blamed modest that he wouldn't believe
people take the Minnesota Mascot Tor
those splendid yard-long dissertations OF
his, so he quit writing them for three
weeks and all his subscribers jumped on
him. Serves him good and right to. ANY
one who can make a typewriter express
the really big things that Gunnar's does,
and doesn't do it, is the super-slacker-
and Gunnar is anything but one OF those
things. Anyway we hope ne doesn't try
any more experiments at the expense OF
the education of his readers.

Making an Army.

Like the mighty giant that 1t Is,
the United States is awakening from
its long slumber and rousing itself to
action, although in some respects it
may be said to be just rubbing its
eyes. The past 40 days have visual
lied more of what is being accom-
plished than the previous five
months. Vast camps, each with a
soldier population of large cities,
have sprung into being like magic,
and have been populated almost be-
tween sunrise and sunset. Officers
and men in uniform are seen on
every street, trains loaded with
troops are moving with precision and
promptness; nearly a million men are
busy with intense training. While a
modern soldier can not be made in
a day, 1t may be said in all modesty,
because true, that the transformation
worked in men with only three
weeks training is remarkable. This
is because the young American puts
his whole soul into his work. In the
officers training camps men who 20
days ago sat in comfortable office
chairs or lounged in fashionable clubs
are making their practice hike of 20
and even 80 miles day and RETURN
ing at dusk to put in two or three
hours hard study before bed.
AS I write, the stirring notes Of a
large marine band are heard as hum
dreds of naval recruits in white uni
forms drill on their lake-front
grounds, across the street. An hour
ago full thousand Of militia-not
long back from the Mexican border
passed in heavy marching order, go
ing-somewhere; but that some
where will find every man ready, re-
sourceful and intrepid. Such is the
material out of which the American
army is being formed. An army
which can be depended on to give
good account of itself-an army Of
which we are all proud,-H. H.
Windsor in the November Popular
Mechanics Magazine.
