TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
EAIRYLANp.


| sailed far away in cocoanut shell
In the years of the long ago,
To land where the dancing fairies dwell
And the round-faced kewpies grow.
l anchored my boat at the port of Sleep,
By ray of the pale moonbeams,
Where the eins through the shadows creep
AS you the land of dreams
Then / sauntered adown the flowery way,
My dreamy thoughts to beguile:
And the road was lighted up by the ray.
OF a fairy's beamng smile.
At length l esped strange little house.
Where all the good fairies dwell,
And the footman wore bonny green blouse,
And he speedily rang the bell.
Then all the kewpies out with bound
From parlor and attic and stair,
And as they encircled me round and round,
They wondered why / was there.
I know all the faces OF these little folk,
There Faith and Hope and Joy,
And Mrth with his endless smile and joke,
And froc, the rompinG boy.
told them that had wandered away
From world of sin and strife,
Where right and good had gone to decay
And malice and wrong were rife.
Then they all cried out with fearful voice:
go back to your Sustained home;
Z You belong to mankind and have no choice
In this fairyland to roam"
So I hurried away from that fairies land,
To the land of the real and true;
Ever since | have sought to lend hand
And worked with the world to Do
To share in its joys, its cares and pain,
To heed when came the command,
And SO must say il far from vain
When ! went to that fairy land

A BASIS OF AGREEMENT.

The United States Chamber of Commerce is
taking a nationwide referendum on what it puts
forward as a national labor program. After
promising that public interest requires the
peaceful adjustment Of industrial relations, it
recognizes the right of workers 10 organize and
declares that wages should be adjusted with
due regard to the purchasing power of the wage
and to the right of every man to an opportunity
to earn a living at fair wage, to reasonable
hours of work and working conditions to de-
cent home and to the enjoyment of proper So
cial conditions.
When to this program is added the provision
urged by the National Association of Manufac-
turers that statutory responsibilities should be
placed on trades unions to compel them to
keep their contracts, and restrain certain ire
sponsble elements in such organizations, it
would seem that basis for the peaceful equt-
able settlement of disputes between labor and
capital had been reached.
According to Washington despatch, the
head of the governments weather bureau de-
clares that never before in the history of the
archaeological service has weather been so ac-
,urately foretold as it was during the past
winter. With so much skill and practice it
ought not to be very difficult for Old Probable
ties to tell us when the Russian situation will
be cleared up
Perhaps when there is nothing left to loot
and no bourgeoisie left to murder the bolshe-
visits will settle down and become respectable
members of their community.
After July first it is going to be pretty diff
cult to convince several million American citi-
izens that the 'sGreat American Desert is only
"a myth.
Trotsky says that Russia will elect her off
lcials in the future. Better begin with coroner.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Marshalltown Times Republican:
Sympathy for Sioux City is tempered
by the feeling that Sioux City bid for
and gained just what Sioux City is get
ting now when Sioux City elected to
its mayorality the unfrocked preacher
whose notoriety rests mainly On his
signature to saloon petition and his
efforts to defend the saloon and the
liquor traffic. = Sometimes a
calamity is required to teach lesson
Sioux City has the calamity. 1t is
learning. Other towns may profit by
the same lesson.
Burlington Hawkeye: Summing up,
the thirty-eighth general assembly has

Cedar Rapids Republican: The leg

would have done things differently
That is the way we always feel about

viewpoints must be different. On the
whole the thirty-eighth general as

did very well in many things.
