What the Mandolin Said.

Out of past where mem'ry keeps
Her cherished things and weeps
list and hear, when the CRATE is red.
And phantom folks in the cleaning tread.
To the words her mandolin said.
A pine tree lifts its branches high
In pleading to the sky;
The yellow blooms of the jasmine vine
Like lamps swing low and somehow Irvine
About her words and heart Of mine.
Her dainty fingers touched the strings;
Then melody Of things
Lute-lke and musical and sweet
Beneath the pine tree seemed to meet
Where loves own harvest was complete.
In every note the moonlight swayed;
At touch her fingers mado
Upon the strings old loves seemed wed,
AS when one through dream is led
At the words her mandolin said.
The lute-like notes brought back again
White spray Of April rain;
And dew-wet lilacs scent the air
Once more as when she blessed them there
All! Mandolin and golden hair!

From a Farmers Wife.

If you will allow me the space l will drop
in few words on how we Americans can
win the war.
We want to win and must win, but it
can't all be done by economy of the farmers
wives. There has been a lot of talking,
speaking and writing on the subject of econ
Omy, all Of which has been addressed to che
wives Of the farmers There are not many
farmers wives who have not done their
part and have been all the while
1t IS springtime and there is a great de-
mand for farm hands and we, the farmers
wives can take our babies to the field and
set them down under a bush in a cracker
box and hoe back and forth while two or
three little ones play around the box. This is
often seen on the farm.
And there is another scene often witness
ed in the cities, and that is a nurse in the
back yard with the children while mother
IS at card parties, or receptions, or some
other social function. I do not know any
thing about those things, but I read about
them. These women do a lot to win the war
they say; but they could do more; they
could send these colOred nurses out in the
country and help us farmers wives work
on the farms, and attend to their own chill
dren like | have to do. They could do their
own cooking and send their cooks to the
farms, where they are much needed to raise
toodstutf. They could clean their own hous-
es, wash their own clothes, and the washer
women and scrub-women could be used on
the farms. Try this for three months. There
are thousands Of men and women doing
nothing but having good time just like
there was no war.
1t makes me tired to read a piece of adj
vice to farmers wives after we have finish
ed our breakfast, cleaned up our house milk
ed and churned, fed our chickens and pigs
taken our box and babies to the field, hoed
until we think it is II O'Clock, take up our
load and go back to the house to hurry
dinner by the time the plow hands get in
Wash days come when it is too wet to work,
and ironing Saturday afternoon. And |
think after we have gone through all this
day after day we might have meat or bis
cults, II we raise it. And if anyone has to
do without let it be the ones who do not
work.
am not trying to run the governments
business, but I say if all the nurses, but
lers, cooks, chauffeurs and corner loafers
We're sent to the farms we could win the war
and have plenty to eat at home and to feed
our soldiers. But the farmers cannot feed
themselves and soldiers and all these oilers
Let's everybody work Let's all do some
thing to win the war and save our country.

STATES RIGHTS SUSTAINED.

The endeavor of the national congress
and federal authorities to exercise police
powers within the several states through the
commerce clause of the federal constitution
has been defeated by ruling of the United
States supreme court. Chief Justice White
and Justices Day, Van Devanter, Pitney and
McReynolds held in their ruling on the child
labor case that congress had invaded the
rights of individual states in attempting to
specify that goods produced by child labor
be denied transportation in interstate COM
merce. The ruling was definite one on the
clear cut ISSUE and was a decided victory
for those who believe in the time-honored
principle of state rights.
In the opinion of The News the ruling was
correct. The process of reading into the
constitution forms of radicalism it never
possessed has been checked by the verdict.
Justice Day. who handed down the opinion,
said:
'The act in a twofold sense is repug-
nant to the constitution. Tt not only
transcends the authority delegated to
congress over commerce, but also eX-
erts power as a purely local matter
to which the federal authority does not
extend"
AS the New York Times says, There is
no opposition to genuine reform regarding
child labor. There is a real national danger
in the antagonism sought to be created be-
tween state and national interests, and in
seeking crosscuts to reforms of any sort in
violation of constitutional safeguards of
state or national rights If the sentiment
is unanimous there is no difficulty in getting
action. But when sentiment is diverse in
such high degree as upon prohibition and
child labor and many social reforms tbs te-
dious method of securing unity Of sentiment
in advance Of unity of legislation is prefer
able"
This vindication of state rights is of in
terest and gives hope to those who believe
in and adhere to the great democratic prin-
ciple of self-government. and insists that
such questions as prohibition and female
suffrage should be dealt with by the states
without federal Interference

Our Toes Endangered.

The present extremely high heels worn by
the majority of American women, both old
and young, mean deformity of the feet.
X-ray pictures indicating the relation of
the toes to the ground when they are encas-
ed in these high-heeled shoes show that wo-
men are walking on the ends of their five
toes. There is food for thought in the fact
that the horse nowadays walks on foot
consisting Of one toe, while in the more prn-
tive animal there were three or five toes.
The shape of the natural foot of man has
q great variety of uses and it is one of the
things that has helped to place him first in
the life Of the earth. The natural foot has
been one Of the anatomical facts that has
helped him to his present high state of eff
cheney. The form of that foot has enabled
him to become good hunter, a good farm
err, a good sailor a good soldier-in fact
anything he has found it necessary THROUGH
the ages to become, or finds now essential
for the war we are fighting to continue our
personal liberty.
Let the butterfly girls and the other high
heeled old and young women stop and real
ize the value of the normal foot of man. Let
them cut off the high heel and substitute
the natural level This might also work out
to the Interest of direct economy by using
the surplus heel to make thicker soles on the
shoes
The high heel represents the fashion for
the women of today and means a great dis
counting Of the value of mankind, particu-
larly IT it is continued a long time The
present high heel is not only tortuous but
Of great injury to the health The mother
must remember that she is partly RESPONSE
bic for the feet of her children, and that if
she wants them to have normal, strong feet
she must keep them naturally shod.

MASS ATTACKS

From the very beginning of the war there
has been written good deal of nonsense
about the suicidal German policy of making
mass attacks From time to time we have
been informed that the Germans themselves
have abandoned it. But long ago we got over
the habit Of expressing derision. And when
recently the "order" Of General Ludendorff
commanding abandonment of mass advanc-
es was announced we crossed our fingers
and refused to be taken in. Quite apparent
ly if that order was ever issued it has not
yet reached the attention of Generals Below,
Boehm and Huiter, who are operating on the
Aisne front
The fact seems to be that mass attacks
offer the only possibility of breaking the
modern trench line. By mass attacks is
meant the advance in dense formation of
overwhelming numbers of men, the object
being to overrun and smother the defense by
pure force of numbers. The principle of the
thing is old not new, and has been the basis
of the strategy of practically every captain
in history. There are times when an army
must conserve its man power The allies are
trying to do that now. There are other times
when the Importance of an army's immediate
objective is such that any conceivable sacri-
flee is justifed-if the objective thereby be
attained. Success, and success alone, justi-
fieG heavy military losses.
In the last year of our own war between
the states General Grant said 81 propose to
fight it our along this line if it takes all
summer" Along what line? Killing confed-
crates by mere force of numbers; ignoring
union losses; grinding away; persisting re-
CARELESS of the cost. Having superior re-
sources Grant made it work. The very nut
of Napoleon's strategy was to concentrate
at a critical point an overwhelming force
This he endeavored invariably to achieve by
swift maneuvering and quick decision. Hard
ly anybody feels competent to rub out Ma
poleonic strategy as amateurish.
Because Of the military logic of things ii
has heretofore been the policy Of allied com
manders, except IN the east, to save men, to
wcek conservatively. Only the enemy has
plunged" For the present it is indicated
that the allies must continue this policy. But
not permanently. And the time will come
probably within year. if the Germans are
held properly this summer, when the call on
he allied side will be for bold conceptions
nd heroic execution, involving attacks by
reat armies, carried through to the very
limit
The time is in sight when allied command
ers, as well as the Germans will have to dis
card the Fabian for the Napoleonic habit
We do not look ahead to war forever that

SENSE. VS. SCIENCE

Some disclosures made at the trial of the
|. W. WIS in Chicago are Of more than pass
ing interest, explaining as they do things
hitherto hard to understand. The other day
letters addressed to the big chief at nation
al headquarters from the wheat fields in the
state of Washington gave in detail the prac-
teal operations of the order among the
farmers of that section. The widespread
depredations among farmers and ranchers
are staggering in their scope, and in the
amount of property and crops destroyed.
For a number of years western wheat
raisers have been startled by the number
of threshing outfits destroyed by fire. So
numerous were these fires, caused by ex-
plosions, that a certain percentage was reg
ularly figured to meet the losses, which were
considered incident to wheat raising.
Investigators were convinced that wheat
was affected with "black rust" which, ac-
cording to their theory, was very explosive
when exposed to sparks from machinery in
rapid motion. This rust, scarcely percepti-
bic was considered so intimately connected
with the wheat plant that it could not by
any means be eradicated Men of more or
less prominence as psychologists and in
kindred sciences made Investigation, but
were not able to offer any relief from the
"baek rust" peril. Explosions continued,
threshing outfits were destroyed and the
"black rust" evil continued to spread
The sheriff of Whitman county, Wash,
shifted at the rust theory, rejected the
conclusions of the scientists, and sought to
reach the evil by more "direct" methods.
Having been brought in contact with their
destructive methods on numerous occasions
he knew something about the tricks and
modes Of operation of the I. W. W. Black
rust and it's explOsiveness as an agency in
inficting enormous losses to the agricultural
industry of his county seemed ridiculous So
he threw all the l. w. WIS he could get hold
of in jail, and kept them there. When the
county was cleared of the vicious idlers ex-
plosions ceased, the eXplosiveness of black
rust lost its terror, and the conclusions Of
some learned men on the question exploded
in rapid fire fashion instead. The sheriff
of Whitman county solved the problem, and
The result has been accepted as entirely sat
isfactory.
In letters read before the court in Ghica-
go details were given of the methods used
by field men who were carrying out the or
ders from headquarters. Several hundred
threshing outfits in one section wore de-
stroyed in a single season, and while investi-
cations were in progress and theories adj
vanced as how best to handle the black rust
peril dynamite and other explosives were
placed in the machinery by agents of the
order and destruction continued to spread
This is only one of many things of the kind
worked out by the l. w. VS. in their ruthless
warfare against the thrift of the working
people of the country.
