Jeff Hart
Badger Hart in Collier's)

JEFF Hart rode out Of the gulch to war
When the low sun yellowed the
pines.
He waved to his folks in the cabin
door
And yelled to the men at the mines.
y The sulch kept watch till he dropped
from sight
Neighbors and girl and kin.
jeff Hart rode out Of the gulch one
night;
Next morning the world came in.
His dad went back to the clinkins
drills.
And his mother cooked for the men;
The pines branched black on the east
ern hills.
Then black to the west again.
But never again, by dusk or dawn,
Were the days in the gulch the
For back up the trail jeff Hart had
gone
The trample Of millions came.
Then never a clatter of dynamite
But echoed the guns Of the Aisne,
And the coyotes wall in the woods at
night
Was bitter with Belgium's pain.
We heard the snarl Of savage sea
In the pines when the wind went
through,
And the strangers jeff Hart fought to
free
Grew folks to the folks he knew.
jeff Hart has drifted for good and all,
To the ghostly bugles blown,
But the far French valley that saw
him fall
Blood kin to the gulch is grown;
And his foreign folks are ours by
right
The friends that he died to win.
jeff Hart rode out Of the gulch one
night;
Next morning the world came In.

strongly for the league of nations or
any other league that promises radi-
cal change in our system of govern
ment. A sample of the North Dakota
senator's argument is contained In the
following extract from his speech:
Suppose we refuse to join with
the rest of the world in some
scheme to prevent war, what will
happen? AS surely as the sun
shall rise every great nation will
proceed to devise means for the
wholesale destruction of nations.
SO desperate will be the next war
that all the hate and all the VEN
ON created by this struggle will
be infinitesimal compared with
the next. And against what race
will all these weapons Of death
be used? Against the white race.
We have preached the reduction
of ornaments for years. Now,
present to me, if you can, bet
ter or safer plan than that pro-
vided in this treaty, or else ac-
knowledge frankly that we never
intended to conform our acts to
our declarations"
Opposition to the proposed league
Of nations does not imply opposition
to all schemes to prevent war. On
the contrary. the people of this coun-
try are practically agreed upon the
desirability and necessity of devising
some plan that will prevent war. The
opposition is directed at this particu-
lar league into which the president Is
endeavoring to force the nation, and
which would involve this country in
agreements and place upon it obliga-
tions wholly outside the question of
war. There is no country on earth at
this time that is prepared, if it so de-
sired to precipitate another great war
and will not be for years even with
every effort concentrated with. that
purpose in view. Then why the haste
to tie up the nations in this world
wide league? Five great powers, unit
ed for that purpose alone, can main
tain the peace Of the world and insure
a reduction of armament. The proper
course would have been to terminate
the war by submitting treaty for
Germany to sign at the earliest posi-
BILE date, followed in quick succession
with terms to be signed by all other
nations. With that accom-
plished, the people of all nations would
have been in position to turn their at
tention to restoring the devastations
of war and to the pursuit of peaceful
Then would have been
the time to take up the question of
preventing future wars with plenty of
time for deliberation and discussion.
But President Wilson willed other
wise, and because the opponents of
MS plan refuse to yield, the senator
from North Dakota accuses them of
in demanding reduced
armament as means of preventing
war. There is in fact no chance for
argument on the question of prevent
ng war, but the opponents Of the
Presidents league insist that peace
nay be made secure without sacrific-
ng our national sovereignty, and that
he tendency of the proposed league |
would be to provoke wars rather than
o prevent them.

AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LA.
Dor MAKES BAD BREAK.

ment, the threats of the l. w. W., the
rawlings Of the anarchists, and the
omnous outbursts of every breed OF
malcontents that infest the country,
are as sounding brass compared with
the deliberate passage of a resolution
by the American Federation of Labor,
in national convention assembled, in
which all members of the organization
are advised to disregard injunction
ing action was more astonishing COM
ing so soon after the war in which the
American Federation of Labor was
given great credit for the victory
through its loyal support of the gov
eminent, and in which the head Of the
organization was one Of the closest
advisers of the president. 1t is i'm
possible to reconcile the radical and
even revolutionary sentiment express
ed in this resolution directed at the
courts with the patriotic protestations
of labor during the war so recently
closed. Although the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor has made mistakes
in the past particularly in the matter
Of giving financial support to the de-
Tense of men accused of heinOus
crimes, 1t has nevertheless always
been regarded as the most intelligent
~ governed labor body, one in which
conservatism held the whip hand over
Iadicalism, and one that could be de-
pended upon to withhold its sanction
of any direct attack upon one of the
fundamental coordinate branches of
our government. We can not believe
now that this resolution fairly repre-
sents the attitude of the leaders of
the American Federation of Labor,
nor of the majority of the rank and
file.
1t will not be denied that at times
the courts have gone too far in the
exercise of their authority to grant
lnjunctions, but it is not apparent
that labor has been the only or the
chief sufferer from this invasion of
popular rights. At most the abuse of
the injunction has not been carried to
an extent to become a menace to our
liberties, and certainly is not to be
compared with the danger that threat
ems in the attitude taken by the Am
erican Federation of Labor in the
adoption of a resolution defying the
of the courts. The judiciary
or our country, both state and ma
tional, as whole is composed of men |
OF the highest character, free from I'LL !
terror motives in the construction and |
of the law Being hui
man, they sometimes make mistakes,
but it is rare indeed that they yield
10 sinister influences in balancing the
scales Of justice.
If labor believes that the power of
the courts to grant injunctions is in
mical to the rights or the people, all
adequate remedy is at hand that will
afford relief, The ballot box is still
he safeguard of our liberties, the
'ourt of final resort in which the most {
lffluent citizen has no advantage over
he most humble. This Is the nstitu- I
ION that makes our country safe for S
and while this remedy is t
n the hands of the people, no man n
Tor organization has right to prac- v
ice, advocate or countenance violation I
# the law, or the orders of the courts n
n pursuance of their duties to con- L
true and administer the laws "

Good Grade of Wheat.

Rather a curious state Of things pre-
vailed In Sardinia and Sicily at one
time during the war. These islands
were able to produce a better grade Of
hard wheat than n other, and so
they exchanged their grain with the
continent" as they call the mainland
Gas the people OF Nantucket do for the
kind Of wheat which made good flour
for bread. But the waters around the
islands were full OF mines, and sub
marines were always lurking neal, 80
there were times when p~eaceable cargo
boats dared not venture out, All the
hard wheat had been sent over TO the
mainland, and the Sardinians and 81
cilians were waiting for the other grain
But as 1t could not come with safety
but was lying In the docks OF Naples,
the people Of the islands were entirely
without bread for 10 days. After this
they stopped making the exchange of
grain and at each end Of the line got
along the best they could on whatever
kind OF wheat they had on hand.
These islands suffered also from the
impossihility Of exporting their oil and
wine, although the other parts OF Italy
needed these articles. In fact there
was so much accumulated that the poo-
pie had TO beg the government to requi-
sition large supplies, for they had not
enough receptacles to contain their new
crops. They had something the same
trouble with their citrus fruits, which
form such a large proportion among the
exports from these islands, Owing to
the dangers above mentioned and the
great difficulties of land traffic, and
the small amount Of space on trains,
quantities of fruit went to waste, and
except for the lemons. which were in

The expectation OF olive oil was one
Of the most important, for not only

A similar variety was imported also

now the first three sources OF supply
are out Of the question, the imported
grain must all come from the Ameri-

ing these years of warfare has been
smaller than usual, so naturally the
price Of bread, at the present time, Is
very high, and IT has been necessary
