Ripping Rhymes:
BY WALT MASON.
THE OLD JOB.

When Autumn comes, with sooth-
ing signs, I grow so tired Of swatting
nies. which light upon my roof!
Through all the weary months since
spring I've swatted flies upon the
wing. and also on the hoof. When
Spring arrives, all fresh and young.
and first the call to arms is sprung, L
swat the flies with glee; 1 think it
goodly exercise to chase and execute
the fies. but now 1t wearies me.
Throughout the balmy days Of May
i takeNlny swatting stick and slay.
when the roses bloom in June my
Berserk song l weirdly Groom. and
swat to beat the band. And in the
heat Of mid-July, I'm on the spoor OF
every ny that still remains unslain;
and August finds me, stern n grim.
still rendinE buyers limb from limb,
though bent beneath the strain. But
when the mild September comes, the
pesky hy and all his ehunrs may roost
on wall mi floor: though nave slain
ten billion flies. the chastity truth /
recognize-there are ten billions
more. You've heard about that IA
bled gun who rolled a stone that
weighed a ton up hill forevermore:
no useful purpose he achieved, and
that's why he was panied and peeyed.
and why his head was sore. No man
enjoys his work on earth unless he
gets his labor's worth in one or other
Euise; to roll a boulder up a hill u
til ones feet get tired and chill, Is
much like swatting hies.-Copyright

Federal Commission
Meets In st. Paul

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 19.-The fed
eral commission investigating the sal
aries and working conditions OF the
postal employees of the northwest met
here today to receive data collected
throughout tho northwest and will
continue in session through tomor-
row.
Requests for increase In salaries
and better working conditions from
delegates here from the northern tier
OF states. extending from Minnesota
to the coast we're filed with the COM
mission at the opening Of the session.
During the past months officials Of
the National Federation of. Postal
employees in this section have for
wArded to members. picked at ran
dom, q~uestionnaires in which infor-
nation is asked regarding the amount
of salary received, and the expense of
the individual. Several question
naires, received before the committee
met. set forth that the mounting cost
of living virtually prevented many
postal workers from saving any of
their yearly compensation.
Although the commission is not in
teresting ITSELF in n other phases of
the employees difficulties other than
salary,yit is: being asked to carry back
TO Washington the request for many
instances of the hardships encounter
ed in the postal service. such as long
hours, which the employees contend
should be adjusted as has been done
in other lines of industry.

TEMPTING FATE

hi II Is an old story that tho lava-fooded sides Of We
nAuyius. from which every vestise Of life was swept in the
treat eruption OF the first century Of the Christian era.
sssecarne clothed again with vineyards and dotted with
tiIaees rs the years passed and human beings dared
psain to risk their lives closer and still closer to the great
drster. And then, after the lapse OF centuries, the earth
rambied. and the mountain vomited forth molten rock,
~tvertaken the old.
Men are SO constituted that they win tempt fate.
fhA absence Of visible evidences Of danger begets forget
,oihess that danger exists. Men will establish permanent
ZONES where they appear not only to ignore danger, but
o tnvite destruction. OF course absolute safety any
HAere Is out Of the question. The elements may combine
"a a furious onslaught to destroy anything, anywhere.
:sut it seems to be the height of recklessness to live on
he side Of = mountain which IS known to be in a state of
Unstable equilibrium, or where a wind Of no miraculous
S1elocity will send q wall of water sweeping from the sea
tcross miles Of low ground.
The experience Of Galveston some years ago seems
% have been the first on any such scale within the mem
by OF nnan. SO that there was come excuse for its not
petng fo1eseen. since then. while the city has not been
abandoned, precautions have been taken by the building
pf q great sa wall which is believed to provide ample
protection, and which admirably stood the test in the
sraat storm of a few days ago. .
But at Corpus Christi, along the same coast, with
he experience Of Galveston as a guide. people have been
living calmly and quietly, exposed to the same danger,
sorgetful Of OF Indifferent to 1t. The disaster which befell
Corpus Christi and adjacent territory was due to a great
air movement which. in its passage across the Gulf. had
piled mp the waters and driven them forward to the coast
where 1t swept inland with overwhelming force, destroy
ing everything in its path. Combined with the destruct-
I've force Of the flood was that of the wind itself, which
attained a velocity sufficient to level all but substantial
structures.
There is no way, OF course, by which the people Of
that locality can insure themselves against damage by
tropical winds except by giving attention to the character
Of their buildings. But 1t seems that one is taking his
life in his hands when he inhabits low lands along a coast
which has already heen~swept by waves Of destructive
force, and where the same thing may occur almost with
put warning at any time. The combination Of forces
which resulted in the recent disaster may not occur again
III a century. But there is no assurance that it will not
occur next year, or next week. Life there is altogether
too much like life on the slopes Of vesuvius. Nothing
may happen, and again, the happenings may be too sud
den and pronounced for comfort.

THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE

It is suggested that the union officials with whom
rests the final decision as to whether the threatened strike
of Ateel workers shall occur next Monday are Withholding
full information on the subject in order that, if the strike
actually does go into effect, it will be all the more effect
I've because accompanied by the element Of surprise.
The suggestion is a'reminder Of the fact that we have
not yet got beyond the practice Of trying to solve our
economic problems by appeals to force. The strike and
the lockout are acts of war. Let it be conceded that a
strike may be conducted without violence; that no guns
are discharged, no stones thrown, no windows smashed,
and that nobody is beaten up. Let all the proceedings
be conducted in an orderly manner. without the slightest
approach to a breach of tho peace or the violation Of a
statute. Let all this be granted, and the fact still remains
that the strike Is an act of hostility, intended to injure
those against whom it is aimed, or, by threat OF injury,
to accomplish what could not be accomplished by annie
