instead of finding fault with every
thing we want you to cooperate and
work and hold the people together
because fault finding and fussing

And the copperhead thought scoop

entirely foreign to his makeup. BUt
he looked it up in the dictionary. p
found it meant, get together, pull te :
gether, team work, and he said to
himself, will fool these people. I
will talk cooperation. I will preach
cooperation. I will even write about
cooperation, but I can't cooperate
because I am not built right.
And so the copperhead began to
talk and write about cooperation
until he had the people believing that
he really had changed and was try

A COPPERHEAD IN EDEN

A copperhead came to Eden and
made his abode in the beautiful gar
den, where the flowers bloomed
beautifully, the birds sang sweetly,
the sun shone brightly and every
body was happy because in Eden ev-
cry one had been at work and had
made something, and the people
were contented for prosperity was
everywhere.
But this did not suit the copper
head. He had the poison in his sys-
te mand couldn't get it out and
thinking the only way to let the peo-
pie know he was in the garden was
to complain about everything and
say that the rose bushes were all
set out wrong and the fruit was not
hanging right on the trees and in
stead of the people being kind to-
wards each other I will divide them
and make them fall out with one an
other, and then I will have them so
I can handle them.
The people looked at the copper
head and wondered what was the
matter with him. They said was he
not lean and lank and hungry when
he came into the garden, and now he
is beginning to fatten, lying around
under the shade of the tree and eat
ing our fruit, But perhaps he
would like to have some occupation.
Perhaps if we give him work to do
he may be able to forget that he is
chock full and running over with a
crouch and work will make him for
get his troubles, and so number of
the people in Eden held a meeting
and let him into their business as a

To say that the cofrts shall not
review the acts of representatives
who pass laws either under pressure
of their constituency or influenced by
a desire to popularize themselves
with a constituency that might be
actuated by motives entirely interest
ing and profitable to itself, would
hardly be fair to opposing inter-
ests, would it? We believe that the
fair minded employee after due con-
sideration will agree with us that it
would not. The truth of the mat
ter is that the courts of the land
cannot be just if any sort of in
fluence is brought to bear on them,
and they should still have the right
of review of the work of politicians
who as our friends, the workingmen
realize, are sometimes moved by in
fuences of one sort or another,
whether by numbers, desire for pop
ularity, to be on the winning side,

THE STORY OF POLAND.

The story Of Poland waiting, struggling,
pleading for help from the outside world
during five and half long years of dea-
tItution and famine can never be luiiy
told. No human catastrophe in the world 9
history compares with IL. The civilized
world can look only in sorrow, now that
the curtain has been lifted. We Of Ameri-
en- certainly must do our part for the suffer
ing country. II s easily possible if Ameri-
ca will supply funds for us to get relief
supplies to the Polish sufferers Although
the American Food Administration went
out oil existence some months ago that
organization has announced that special
national and local authorized committees
have been organized in Poland, giving
their attention to relief work.
The American Food Administration
also has assigned To that country special
representatives of its own for the same
purpose. 1t guarantees that the relief
work, and especially caring for the chill
dren will not cease, but will be carried on
by the authorized committees, which have
organized on n permanent basis. All
funds contributed and specifically deslg-
mated for Polish Relief will be transmitted
and expended with the utmost economy
and with thorough efficiency.
We remember Lafayette and IN his
memory we have done what was ID our
power for France. Should we not also
remember koscuszko and Pulaski? Do
not they also hold imperatorial records
IN American history We must help
Poland. II is in our power 10 do SO with
out personal suffering or even inconveni-
enoe. The people there are enduring
agony and dying. We can give them re-
lief We can save their lives. They are
human beings just MS we are. We know
that Americans will not fail to respond at
this critical time.
