Nowhere else so much as in the
realm of grief, l think, is the ques-
ton of Immortality Interpreted. 1t is
true that the first shock Of over
whelming grief sometimes drives
Ialth out OF the mind; that it some
times staggers the reason; that it
sometimes dispossesses the moral
sense of its health and leaves the
mind in weakness AS in a fever.

Alright, and things then seem to
dance in the air, and take on
grotesque forms, SO persons who are
bewildered with first sorrow often

is no skepticism which is SO deep
and pulseless as that which often
takes possession in the first great
commissioning surprise and shock of

a little, and the nerve has come TO

SPEED UP IN SHIPBUILDING

A practical builder Of ships, Homer L. Fer
guson, president and general manager of the
Newport News Shipbuilding company, stated a
fact known to everybody when he told senate
committee that the government ship program
would have moved faster at the start if an ex-
perienced man had been put in charge of OPP
erations. But delay was not due to the choice
Of General Goethals, a capable executive, as
manager of the fleet corporation, but to the Sc
lection Of Mr.. Denman, who knew nothing
about ships, as chairman Of the shipping board.
Delay due to this blunder, for which no excuse
could be made, has been costly. The greatest
obstacle in the way of rapid construction now
according to Mr.. Ferguson, is the lack of houses
for shipyard workers, and failure in co-ordina-
ton by government departments and boards is
said to be at the root of the trouble Mr.
t'erguson's estimate of the probable output of

other, and shining in beauty each for
the other; are two persons thus
twined together and bound together
for life, until some dark hour one is
called and the other is left; and
does the bleeding heart go down to
the grave and say: 81 return dust to
dust" Was that dust then? That
that fidelity; that
frankness of truth; that transparent
honesty; that fitness Of love; disin-
terestedness; that fitness and ex-
quisiteness Of taste; that fervor of
love; that aspiration; that power of
conviction; that piety; that great
hope in God--were all these elements
in the soul of the companion that
had disappeared but just SO many
phenomena of matter? And have
they already collapsed and gone like
last years flowers struck with frost,
back again to the mold? In the
grief of such an hour one will not
let go the hope of resurrection.
Can parent go back from the
grave where he has laid his children
and say: 81 shall never see them
more?" Even as far back as the dim
twilight in which David lived, he
said: "Thou shalt not come to me,
but I shall go to thee" and is 1t
possible for the parental heart to
stand in our day by the side OF the
grave, where the children have been
put out of our sight. and say: "They
neither shall come to me. nor shall
go to them; they are blossoms that
have fallen; they never shall bring
forth fruit?" 1t is unnatural. 1t is
hideous. Everything that is in man,
every instinct that is best in human
nature repels it.
Is not the human soul, then, it.

AS KEOKUK VIEWS IT.

Because Keokuk is in way to lose one
small industry that has had its work turned
out in great plant that had proved a
credit in production heretofore and will not
miss the outgoer, neither will this city sue
cumb because OF the removal of a small
activity to another spot and so there is no
reason why there should be an overplus of ex-
coriata to the effect that Keokuk is "going
back" peanut stand here might remove to
Hamilton, shoe repairing institution might
delight in rising to the bait of a lone fisherman
on the Illinois side of the Mississippi, and if
they decided to cast their fortunes in what APP
peared to them more favorable localities, good
luck to them. But Keokuk will survive and
go on to progress Mark that.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Sioux City Journal: The decision of
Governor Harding to call no special
war session of the Iowa general as
sembly this winter was not hard to
forecast after his first postponement
| of the decision. The newspapers have
been inclined to predict it or take it
for granted. The reason actuatins the
governor is not far to seek. He be-
came convinced by the way the sub
ject was seized upon for partisan pur.
poses that little good and much evil
could and probably would come out of
a session. Though it was desirable
that certain amount of money be
made available by legislative action
for the use of state institutions, the
governor can borrow to meet their
needs and they will not be in any re-
spect handicapped.
Cedar Rapids Republican,: The
Charles City Press suggests that it
would be better to give the money to
the Red Cross than to spend it on an
extra session to let a lot of politicians
start to talking. While congress is in
session we have talking enough for all
purposes.

Come back!
My little lads, come back,
My little maids, with starched frocks;
My lads, my maids come back!
The poplar trees are black
Against the keen, lone throbbing sky;
The tang of the old box
Fills the clear dusk from wall to wall
+ And the dews fall.
Come back!
/ watch cry:
Leave the rude wharf, the mart;
Come back!
Else shall break my heart.
Am forgot;
My days as they were not?-
The warm, sweet grooming tunes;
The Sunday afternoons,
Wrought but for you;
The larkSpurS growing tall.
You wreathed in pink and blue,
Within your prayer books small.
The cupboards carved both in and out,
With curious, priCkly vine,
And smelling far and fine;
The pictures in a row,
OF folk you did not know;
The toys, the games, tie shrill, gay rout;
The lanterns, that hour for bed,
A charmed, but homey red
Went Pickering from shed to she'd
The fagots crumbling, spicy, good,
Brought in from the great wood;
The dark that held you all about
The wind that would not go?-
Come back, my women and my men,
And take them all again!
( Come back!
Come up the STILL accustomed, wistful lands,
The poplar haunted lands.
You need not call,
For shall know,
And light the candles tall,
Set wine and loaf row
Come back!
Unlatch the door,
And fall upon my heart once more
For shall comfort you, oh lad,
Oh daughter, I shall make you wholly glad

The unavaling throng,
The sting, the smart
Shall be they were not,
Forgot, forgot

And fall upon my heart!
