Dreamers

They were dreamers dreaming eveT In the man-stifled town, Of the lands across the mountains Where the strange roads go down. Came the vision, came the call, So they started on the quest Of the land of singing rivers And the growing golden West. Oft they tainted on the journey, Oft the way was sad and sore, When sickness fell upon them And famine took their store. But when evil overlook them And hope was almost gone Still the turing voices called them; "Oh my children, still push on.'' When food and forage failed them And the last water dried, With the faith of little children They laid down and died. But the remnant that survived them Turned their faces from the. dawn To the land of incognto And the word was "Still keep on" Never once they reaped the promise, Thought they reached the promised land, And their children have the fruitage Of the Canaan that they planned. Remember, Oh my children Though the pioneers are gone Their watchword was forever; Press on, my child, press on." No vicious life of luxury Or love of wealth and ease, Ever called across a continent Such noble men as these Those who sit in self contentment Striving all the earth to own, ~ever felt their souls awaken
 the great untried unknown.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-To break up car thievery which has cost rail- roads and shippers millions of dollars, the railroad administration has created property protection section with Philip J. Doherty, former interstate commerce commissioner. at it's head. The intention of the new agency, anS nounced today. is to make consign- ments of merchandise shipped on American railroads aI inviolate as United States mail pouches.
 The section takes over the great army of railroad detectives, and will make a determined effort to bring to justice the thousands of car bandits who have operated almost openly in some sections because of the leniency shown them by local authorities.

Use Soothing Musterole

When those sharp pains go shooting
through your head, when your skull
seems as if it would split, just rub a
little Musterole on your temples and
neck. 1t draws out the inflammation,
soothes away the pain, usually giving
quick relief.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
made with Gil of mustard. Better than a
mustard plaster and does not blister.
Many doctors and nurses frankly rec
ommend Musterole for sore throat, bron-
chitis, Group, stiff neck, asthma, neural
gia, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism,
lunbago, pains and aches of the back or

crly" upon the friendly demeanor OF the
Dowager Empress.
Naturally this ill advised policy has had
very bad results. At the beginning of
the war many Firms were in favor of the
Allies, chiefly by reason of their English
trade connections and English sympathies.
But when Russia's most powerful and
necessary ally forbore TO say one word
in favor Of reasonable treatment of Fin
land, and when the English press by its
undiscriminating praise of all things Rus
sian actually gave more strength to the
powers of reaction, then the Firms cam
not be blamed for looking elsewhere
German ropaganda Rife.
Their exiles flocked to Germany in great
numbers, and it is said that more than
5000 Firms took up their residence there
The Germans are further credited with
making active propaganda for their cause
among the professors and students of Fin
land, but it seems doubtful whether they
would really have found it worth while,
when the Allies themselves were uncon-
seiously doing so much TO spread pro-
German sympathies there. If-but no
one can say more than FINLAND was
occasionally used as a channel for COM
munieation between Germany and the
traitorous party in Russia the Allies have
only themselves to blame
However this may be, il seems pretty
clear that there were several German
agencies in more than one part of Fin
land trying TO stir the people up to an
armed revolt.
Since our reactlonary press at one time
took upon itself TO repeat the venerable
and discredited cliches about Finlands
desire for independence or for union with
Sweden, it is well to say once more that
Finland's great nationalist movement was
all directed against Swedish influence. and
that there are not FIVE wiseacres in the
whole country who would dream of the
possibility of such a union. Nor has the
fiercest advocate of Finnish freedom ever
contemplated absolute independence. The
position of the country and its very small
population wholly forbid it.
Surely this tiny nation has magnifi
cent future. 1t may even be possible for
them, highly trained and politically quail
fed as they are, to hurry through the in
tervening stages of their economic deyel-

model of a cooperative commonwealth.

Finland has any sense of race barrier.
On the contrary, they seem, once known,
curiously appealing and sympathetic, this
brave, ugly little people, with their high
cheek bones, great foreheads and deep set
eyes.
Their literature, like their landscape, is
extraordinarily varied and beautiful and
there runs through it sense of the time

Firms began to find themselves in minor
ity, and in 1894 after very hot debate
the Finnish language was placed on an
equality with Swedish in the Finland
Senate. "Svekoman' (Swede-Finn) and
"Fennoman" Finnish FINN became cries
of warfare, and the language conflict fCl.
roughly into line with the divisions Of
class. The progressive and proletarian
elements In the country were Fennoman,
while the middle class, conservative and
aristocratic forces were for a long while
by speech and traditions Swede.
All this time the Firms as people and
as a nation kept strictly to that policy of
detachment and independence which has
always marked them. They took no part
at all in Russian affairs and showed little
interest in those of Scandinavia; they
appeared to Europe generally as self
centred as q Chinese colony in the West
might be.
Meant to Work Own Salvation.
Finland meant to work out her saliva

the country was open TO European infu-

TN 1916 the Emperor Alexander l. of
i Russia wrote to Steinheil, then Gov
ernor-Gencral of Finland, in the following
terms: GAS regards the conditions Of
Finland, my intention has been to give
this people a political existence, so that
they may not feel themselves conquered
by Russia but united TO her for their own
clear advantage; therefore not only their
civil but their political laws must be main
tanned" To-day, century after these
words were written, there seems at last
good hope that Alexander is intentions
may be permanently fulfilled.
A race Of Monaghan origin and Ian
guage, the "Suomilaiset people Of
the fens-were Christianized very early
in the thirteenth century by the Swedes,
who treated them on the whole with equal
ity and justice, and iptermarried with
them freely, not, however, allowing the
Finnish language to be written or spoken
to any extent. The result was that in
1903 Russia conquered a people who
spoke Swedish and regarded themselves
as indepcnd ent Swedes; and although

fury, Russidns of the ruling classes could
never get it out of their heads that Fin
land desired TO belong to Sweden again.
The Governors of Russia, having much
vaster affairs in hand, did not realize that
the remarkable development of Finnish
nationalism was directed, first and last,
against the Swedish language and Finno-
Swedish domination. The Finnish Ian
guage was spoken only by the remote
peasantry and Finnish names even we're
not legally recognized. Yet, meanwhile,
great movement was steadily growing
up for the revival of Finland's own sin
gularly rich and beautiful tongue.
Discovered Their Own Nation.
The Finnish people began to think Of
their country as Suomi something ut
terly distinct from Sweden or Russia, hav-
ing language and literature Of its own.
From 1S49 onward, when Lonnrot pub
lished the second edition of the "kale-
vala," Finland's national epic, educated
Firms were beginning to give up Swedish
AS a means Of communication and learn
ing 10 use the strange, difficult, sonorous
language which was their birthright.
Naturally this development soon cleft
the country in two. Many Firms urged,
not unreasonably, that it was hardly prac
tieable for so small people to cut them
selves off from Scandinavia, from Russia,
from the rest of Europe in fact, "by
climbing on TO a language island in this
way. But nationalism triumphed. In
1863 the mice little constitution granted
by Alexander III. left the Firms free TO
govern, themselves in all internal matters
i'll a fairly representative manner, and
from this time the study of Finnish be-
came an integral part of the general edu-
cation.
