This is'not true thought, if by thought we
mean idea bridged more or less creatively
to idea. For them it is the summit of self
consciousness perhaps.
This is my fancy. Number forty-three
there--the off wheeler, still and attentive;
he is not asleep. Something quite alien
to fodder, stables, harness, all the auto
matte round, has settled on his brain-as
fly settles. 1t makes no movement, no de-
mand, but it is there, strange, inslstent,
troubling thing. Presently it will fly away
and with relief he'll fall to his automa-
tism again. But back and back it will
come to him, and to his generations, TILL
questioning brings answer, and that Is
thought
Tonight I, sleepy on my round, have
been back to that point from which Forty
three, he and all his kind are moving,
moving upward in the scale of things.
And so, it being o'clock, comes my
relief. l seek the guard room; as pass
the sentry he gives me a wry grin. There,
on the little hammock beds let down, lie
the spare parts Of this machinery OF
watch and challenge But really, says the
unregenerate civilian in me, one police
man would do the whole job more efii-
GENTLY and with much less clatter.
The light is very dim, the air all blind
with smoke and smell, and-oh, but they
do reach the very extreme of ugliness as
they lie there. Only the trumpeter boy
redeems the group, and he still snores.
There's anarchy in sleep. There's the
damned truth of the world without false
shame, false pride. Whence has had to
come much regimenting, much etiquette
and law and war. For the hardness OF
our hearts' For the slackness of our
souls and the feebleness of our minds.
To picture the true worth of our wise
men, picture them asleep. The House OF
Commons and the House Of Lords, all I'M
reservedly asleep. The Cabinet, the Bench
of Bishops, the War Office-snoring. Car
lyle saw them naked and it soured his
mind to them for ever. See them asleep
and snoring; it will dip you in despair.

bed and lay myself down. Soon as to
Forty-three, the.off wheeler, comes the OBJ

him, should more welcomely bring sleep

brain perversely combats it, leaves me the
helpless battle-ground till.
The small trumpeter has tumbled up to
help blow reveillc. l tumble up at the
sound, for once a welcome sound. Cap,
boots, spurs, British warm coat and blan-
ket; Green's English People and my
gloves, I tumble off with them and to my

GOOD SUGGESTION
in this LETTER

Valley City, N. D. March Fl, 1919.
To the Editor, TimesRecor-d,
Valley City, N. D.
Dear Sir: You mustn't be too hard
on good Doctor Zimmerman, who is
only initiating the practices of Chief
Townley and his fellow socialists,
copying their methods Of misstate-
ment, and aping their other practices,
even the practice of using vulgar Ian
guage to those who disagree with
them. Coarse, abusive or profane
language, or all three combined, are
distinctively characteristic of Boss
Townley, and in using such language
in the last two paragraphs of his re-
cent letter addressed to you, QUE
doughty doctor proves that he is a
faithful disciple of North Dakota s
chief socialist.
Big men with big visions of the
coming socialistic state, la Russia
or New Zealand, or Tasmania rather
too far away for us to go to see how
these governmental theories work.
should be pardoned if intolerant OF
weaker minds and shall men who are
only trying to obstruct the oncoming
Of the socialist millennium. What
right have mere business men, editors
bankers and taxpayers to block the
progress of twelve cylinder statesmen

FIRE AFTERMATH

Pete Davidson received a nasty cut
on his hand while getting the iron cur
tains on the city hall down. MIR. Day.
idson's work was good and his timely
assistance saved the city a big loss:
However his injuries are such that he
will be incapacitated from work for
some time.
. DR.. Palmer got a great move on
himself yesterday, when ne grabbed
a draw and got most Of the fixtures
and furniture of the Guild out of the
burning building. Doc was a tough
looking sight and was pretty near
tuckered out but he got there just the
same. He saved lot of property by
his quick work.
Some soldier boy, whose name we
did not learn, climbed up the pole on
one of the turrets of the burning Ar
morv and saved the flag. 1t was a
clever stunt. We have since learned
that Francis Moran saved the flag.
The state of North Dakota gave a
! very concrete exhibition of state in
surance yesterday. It had a mortgage
$4,000 on the Armory and not dol
| lars worth of insurance. The state
will probably gobble up the lots to
pay the mortgage.
Those iron windows, put on by P.
G.. Davidson some years ago, saved
for the city it's splendid public build
Ling. It cost Mr.. Davidson badly cut
hand but he feels good to think that
his efforts saved the building.
+; Many flags were burned in the fire
but the beautiful Masonic silk service
flag was saved. We have it at the
Times Record office.
That new fire engine and equipment
more than made good yesterday and
demonstrated that the city admins
tration knew good thing when they
bought it. It is money we'll spent.
