neglect of the human factors which must be the
great reliance and concern Of the future. While
fighting to keep off the yoke of the Kaiser we
must not fail to prepare for the great changes of
the uncharted future. Democracy must survive
to achieve the highest ideals for humanity Heav-
ier responsibility must be shared by each citizen.
Results will be measured by the unity, strength,
wisdom and vision Of the great majority, who,
without clear conception, are, in troubled times,
easily led to their own destruction and may bring
our children and their children for generations to
a barren future.
The war has revealed weakness which must be

citizens WILL far as possible be qualified mental

lie before This is the time to act courageously
The future must not be left to chance We should

And cuss its whole existence, both its fauna and
its flora,
But several years ago. before the Kaiser got the no

He could post his sign "Verboten" anywhere along

Ny wife and I, we took trip and sayl we travelled
.
And more things than could tell this side of
Kingdom Come.
We "the glory hat was Greece the grandeur
that was Rome
And ever since we've had a new respect for things

And mothers quite in earnest when she says she
made search
And didn't find thing to match the Presbyterian
church,
They showed US big cathedrals, Paurs and Peters
With a few Westminster Abbeys. chock up full of
human bones;
They'd fill US full of history that every place was
rich in,
But mother'd poke around bit and ask 'em
"Wheres the kitchin?"
"a modern church," she'd say, you know amt lust
for Sunday meeting;
It's tor every sort OF service with convenences for
eating.
Your trforiums and buttresses and arehitraves are
pretty,
But was Equipments' of our Womans subcom-

And then the Dean would most fall off his digna-
torial perch
And mother'd add "You ought to see our Presby
terian church,
Tbax eho III. E
And castles, lowered and turreted, and big as all
outdoors.
They'd show US where some doughty duke had laid
the cornerstone,
And how, most like living thing, the grand old
place had grown.
They showed banquet halls so big they might
have fed city,
And mother looked 'em over and responded "Very
prettyw
And then she added (snd her voice would have
hostile qurk in),
"But Saints alivei AMT it the Godforsaken place

Now WE took every catalogue and made the
closest search
And we've got all modern fixin's in the Presby-

Then they took US to museums, to the Vatican and

And the British big Museuml I thought maybe
that might move her.

Why, the place just seemed to shrink me- with
sort of lofty pity
For such puny thing as me. But mother says
"It's pretty,
But in reading as in eating it don't pay to be too
greedy,
And in OUR Reading Room we got just ONE En-
cyclopeedy,
And though our Literary Club is given to research,
1t has answered every purpose of the Presbyterian
church."
OF course-I joked her, and once home, started
report
That while abroad she'd had the chance to be re-

And how she told the gracious queen her crown
was very pretty"
But it should have been selected by the girls of her

But mother answered, "Yes crown IS nice for

But it can't compare in comfort to the commonest

And for castles and cathedrals Europe leaves Us in

EACH DAY O. THE YEAR.

MOTHER AUGUST.
Clad in a garb Of regal green
Now comes our smiling August Queen,
Her face with majesty serene.
In other years from East to West,
From North to South she spoke )f
rest.
And made the weary heart her guest
But In these days Of War her sway
Tells of the harvests on the way
That shall be ours some Autumn day.
For by the gifts she scatters wide
Ger fields and teeming countryside
The borning seed is fructifed.
So In the midst of War and Pain
We hail her Queen, and bless her
reign,
Fair Mother of the coming grain.

Large.

Candidate for Justice Of the Peace at
Large.
Oscar T. Chell is one of the can
didates for the Office of Justice of the
Peace at the instance of one hundred
and fifty of the citizens.
Approaching the honor conferred
upon him by this request to be a can
didate, he has endeavored to the
best of his ability to meet as many Of
the voters as possible, but in the
short time allotted to him for this
purpose, he has found it a physical
impossibility to reach them all.
If you are one of those that he has
failed to meet, it will be interesting
to know that if selected to fill this
important Office, he will devote his
best efforts to fill it capably and sat
isfactorily.
Justice Court is ordinarily consid-
cred the poor mans court. Mr.. Chell
hass been a working man for many
years and feels that he can SYM
pathize properly with those of small
means who usually seek to have
their cases considered by this court.
and at the same time fulfill his obli-
cation as Justice to decide every case
that comes before him upon the
facts presented and according to law,
with a square deal to all.
He has been a member Of or
ganized labor for many years, lis
forty-three years of age and married.
He lived for twenty years in the first
ward and eight years in the eighth
ward of this city.

The above is cut of Clarence W.
Wigington, although the readers of
this paper probably know it to be
so without being told. Mr.. Wiging-
ton has become very we'll and very
widely known in our city for the
manner in which he has conducted
himself in increasing his efficiency,
and thereby making himself felt as
a real force in st. Paul.
THE APPEAL representative, in
the past, heard number of well-de-
served compliments paid to Mr..
Wigington, but the following little
story is probably the best of them
all, and it was in this wise: Several
days ago he had occasion to transact
some business over in the Court
House, in the Department of Parks,
Fairgrounds and Public Buildings.
After getting through with his err
rand he thought he would peep in on
his good friend Wigington in the City
Architects office. AS usual, Wiging-
ton was there and was busy on the
plans of new school building for
Homecroft Place. After passing the
time of day he was fortunately in
troduced to the City Architect, Mr..
Charles A. Hausler.
Mr.. Hausler, who is a splendid
type of the class of younger success
full professional men, told him some
mighty fine things about Mr.. Wiging-
ton, and ended the little interview
with the statement that, "Mr. Wig
ington has proven to be a very faith
full, energetic and capable assistant
to the City Architect. We have
found out that he knows his busi-
ness thoroughly, and that Mr.. Hy-
land, the Commissioner of Parks,
Fairgrounds and Public Buildings,
and myself have not been slow to
recognize his excellent efficiency.
Further we want his friends to know
that we have taken especial interest
in him and the type of citizenship he
represents" That statement sounds
mighty good.
Mr.. Wigington advised THE AP-
PEAL that he was quite sure that
Commissioner Hyland and Mr.. Haus-
Ter wanted more of the citizens of
St. Paul to exercise their right more
often and to pay a visit to the Depart
ment of Parks, Fairgrounds and Pub
lie Buildings, and find out f1rst-hand
what is being done in the way of
improvements for the benefit and
recreation Of st. Pauls splendid
citizenship.
