FRIENDSHIP

Who once has had friend has found
The link 'twixt marital and divine;
Though now he sleeps in hallowed
ground,
He lives in memory's sacred shrine
And there he freely moves about,
A spirit that has quit the clay,
And in the times of stress and doubt
Sustains his friendship through the
day.
No friend we love can ever die;
The onward form but disappears;
know that all my friends are nigh
Whenever | am moved to tears.
And when my strength and hope are
gone,
The friends, no more, that once /
knew,
Return to cheer and urge me on =
Just as they always used to do.
They whisper to me in the dark
Kind words of counsel and cheer;
When hope has fickered to spark
To feel their gentle spirits pear
And oh because of them l strive
With all the strength that can call,
To keep their friendship still alive
And be worthy of them all.
Death does not end our friendships
true;
We are all debtors to the dead:
There, wait on everything we do
The splendid souls who've gone
ahead.
To them | hold that we are bound
BY double pledges to be fine.
Who once has had friend has found
The ling 'twixt mortal and divine.

IL ss fs ~ II
My Daughter, there be three things
which are amusing unto me-nay,
four, which cause me to be mirthful:
The way of fat woman in hob
BILE skirt.
The way of summer widow with
a blond manicure.
The way of a damsel with an Farm
hound"
And. the way of man with the
HAIR ON HIS HEAD!
For 10, when a woman arrangeth
her locks it is for vanity's sake of
for styles sake or for loves sake.
But a Mans hair is his favorite
ADVERTISEMENT!
And by the way in which he wears
it shall We know him.
The Savage suffereth his locks to
flow about his shoulders and adorn-
eth them with glittering ornaments
and bright feathers, which is to say
Beware, beware! am FIERCEW
But the first sign of a civilized man
is haircut, which is the symbol of
Intelligence"
Yet, when Culture cometh, he re-
turneth unto his first love and per-
mitch his cherished locks to grow
again in divers and wonderful ways.
The Poet sultivateth curling fore
lock, and the Musician rejoiceth in a
waving name. Which is to say:
"Lo, am a GENIUSw
The College Professor sheareth the
hair from his head and causeth it to
grow upon his chin,
For a Vandyke is the emblem of
the Highbrow and the sacred symbol
Of intellectually.
The Soldier croppeth his back hair
and removeth his beard, but coaxeth
the foliage to grow upon his upper
lip as token of BRAVERY.
The Monk shaveth the top of his
head to show forth his PIETY.
But the Baseball Player shaveth
the back Of his neck, which is to say
EGJ,D, +Lo CIV -
And the Johnny" slicketh back
his pompadour so that it appeareth
to be PAINTED on his scalp!
Behold, in all the world there are
but two men who take no JOY in do
ing STUNTS with their hair and rev.
Ell not in Natures Crown of Beau
ty."
Even the Convict and the Bald
headed Man.
Yet, of these two the Convict is
the more human, for he suffereth
great sorrow and humiliation when
his locks are shorn.
But the Baldheaded Man goeth
forth boldly ."unclad on top"
And neither vanity nor mercy nor
modesty shall cause him to cover UP
his blushing scalp,
Go to! A woman will cucumber
herself with two pounds of false hail
for love of a man who would not so
much as camoufage his bald spot
With a toupee for love of a GOD
DESS!
Verify, verify, let the Explorer and
Scientist waste their time upon the
Language of birds and monkeys and
Hotentots; let the Lover learn the
Language of the Flowers and the
Flirt practice the Language of the
Eyes.
But unto a feminine Psychologist
he Language of a Mans HAIR is
stranger and infinitely more inter.
asting than fiction. Selah.

MAKING MUCH OUT OF VERY LITTLE

Many, and far too many, people, some OF them In
uniform and others in civilian dress, are coming back
from Europe. these days. with stories and reports that
illustrate the truth Of the old. old saying in regard TO
comparisons. These people balance the merits and de-
merits OF the several races or nations with which they
have been in contact--usually for only brief periods and
In conditions wholly abnormal-and almost all Of them
show the tendency. condemned by every iogician, to ar
quo from the particular to the general. The result is
the usual-the almost inevitable-one OF reaching con-
illusions entirely wrong and of exaggerating enormously
the Importance Of the irritability and antagonism that
invariably arise when the representatives of unlike civil
izations rub up against each other. -
Human beings, or the great majority of them, are
SO constituted that differences in habits and standards
from themselves seem to be evidences of inferiority, and
it is this fact that accounts for the dislikes which not a

English troops with Or near whom they have been bril-

thing as regards both the English and the Americans. the

And seems SO glad to have him

He holds my wrist. COZ there are

In there. which always jump and

Then with a telephone he brings
He listens to my brcather work.
He taps my back and pinches me.
Then hangs a mirror on his head
And looks into my throat to zee
What makes 1t hurt and 1t it's red,
Then on his knee he starts to write
n says to mother. with a smile:
This ought to fix him up all right.
Wen cure him in a little WHILE"
I don't see why Pa likes him so.
Whenever I don't want to play
He says: THE boy is sick, 1 know!
Let's get the doctor right away"
And when he comes. he shakes his
And hustles him upstairs to me
And Seems contented just to stand
Inside the room where he can see.
Then Pa says every time he o
That's money 1 am glad to pay.
It's worth 1t, when a fellow knows
His pal will soon be up to play
But maybe il my Pa were me
And had to take his pills and all,
He wouldn't be so glad to see
The doctor come to make a call.

SABOTAGE ENDORSED

Among the many peculiar things to which the
league majority in tho House Of Representatives at Bis
marck stands committed is an endorsement of sabotage
and the list OF vile crimes of like character which are
known under a variety Of names. This. position was
taken when the House killed the bill making it a crime
to ADVOCATE criminal syndicalism. The purpose of the
bill was to reach those pests who u:gc the commission
OF acts of violence and destruction as a means of, terri
flying employers to grant whatever demands their en-
ployes may see At to make. This method IS one winch
has been habitually employed by I. w. w. agitators, and
its maignacy has been felt especially in the country dis
tricts, where the most unreasonable demands have been
made. under the threat, expressed or implied, that il
the demands were not granted the farmer employer
would suffer in the destruction Of his property in any
one OF a dozen criminal ways.
In rejecting this measure league members have de-
clincd to interfere in any way with the activities, OF the
agitators who each year are responsible for untold dam
age. and whose activities inject an element of uncer-
tainty into tho whole business Of harvesting crops
Without such legislation the agitators have a FREQ hand.
and the members voting to kill the bill have placed
in the position Of approving the threats Of
violence which arc habitually made. and, infercntlaiy
the commission Of violence itself.
These members have placed themselves in the ta.se
position Of approving something which they do not act
.ually approve. These members are farmers, and they
know by experience something of what it means to have
the work OF the farm interrupted through the agitation
of them who foment strikes. and who use the menace of
violence as one Of the methods of winning strikes. The
farmer members OF the legislature do not approve Of
this. And the fact that they have voted to make it
easier and safer is a demonstration Of the abjcctness
with which they have abandoned the right to follow their
own judgment, and have placed themselves without re-
serve in the hands of a Socialist dictator, one of whose
efforts was to promote a bargain between the farmers OF
North Dakota and the /. w. w.

ELECTRICIANS
OF LONDON To
QUIT SATURDAY
Thousands of People Pre-
pare For Darkness by
Buying Lamps.

London, Thursday, Feb. 6.-1n ex-
pectation that electric light would be
cut off tonight, there was a great sale
day, but at 6 o'clock this evening it
was announced that the electrical
trades union strike had been post
poned. g.. y.I.
1t is now planned to call out the
engineers in Iondon's sixty power
houses at midnight Saturday.
While the outside electrical work.
ers will strike tomorrow, there is an
other union-the electrical power en-
gineers association-which is a sort
OF aristocracy among electrical work
ers. Its secretary said today that the
members would insure a reasonable
supply Of electricity.
One newspaper here estimates that
five million hours. of work is being
lost daily. apart from the losses of
shopkeepers, theaters and railroads as
a result of the strike.
While a majority Of newspapers
are against the strikers. the West
minister Gazette, summarizes the
mems case saying that 1.-THE govern
ment picked industry to pieces for the
war n must put it together again
for peace"
The strike has brought several
movements for volunteers to carry on
public works and for societies to COM
bine the middle classes for their pro-
lection.
Some of the electricians struck in
the evening but up to a late hour
none of the public services was af-
fected. All the power houses were
working as usual.

LEAGUE LIMITATIONS

1t is quito natural that the smaller nations should
desire representation in a permanent league of nations
on a basis of equality with their larger n~eighbors. In
tercst and sentiment alike contribute to the creation of
this desire. The same principle was the basis Of much
discussion at the time Of tho creation of the American
republic. In our case the smaller commonwealths car
ried their point. 1t is a matter Of history that when the
composition Of the national congress was under consider
be given equal representation with the more populous
states, although the first proposal had been to base men,
bership in both houses on population. A compromise
was reached whereby membership in the House of Rep
rescntatives was based on population. while representa-
ton in the senate was equal. regardless of the size Of
the state. This latter provision, Of course, gave to the
small states an influence in congress out Of proportion to
their size, which was obviously inequitablc. 1t also gave
very complete recognition to the sovereign entity of the
state. without which at that time no union could have
been formed.
There has been no suggestion of a similar compro-
mise in the formation Of an International league. It is
possible that something Of the sort might prove useful.
But with or without such an arrangement, the greater
nations will WELD a greater inuence in the affairs of the
league than will the smaller ones. And this ia al it
should be. The representation OF a nation, while it can
not be proportional exactly to its population, or to any
other element of its national equipment, must bear some
relation to these things.

LOAN SECURITIES

In the house of representatives at Washington the
other day there was a little discussion OF the evidences
of Indebtedness which the United States government holds
on account Of war loans made to the European nations.
Mr.. Mclaughlin. of Michigan. said that our government
had for the loans which 1t had made mere SCRAPS Of pa
per- signed by representatives Of the borrowing nations
in Washington instead OF bonds as provided by law. Mr..
Young. OF North Dakota, declared that these loans were
secured by regularly executed notes. and that everything
was regular.
This matter is rather new, and we must confess to
unfamiiarity both with the precise provisions OF the la"
authorizing the loans. and with the practice of our Off
Gals in following the letter OF the law closely or other
wise. AS n matter of fact. the subject is not one con-
corning which there appears to be need for excitement.
The United states government has loaned a good many
million dollars abroad during the war. Or. to put the
matter more accurately. the United States government
has loaned its credit to it's neighbors abroad to enable
them to buy food, and ammunitions. AND supplies of ev-
cry kind from the citizens of the United States. All of
these loans, or practically all of them, have been for the
purpose OF enabling our foreign customers to continue
their purchase of American. goods. The money involved
in the transactions has remained on this side of the At
lantic.
AS to the security. it is taken for granted that there
Is some written evidence that the money has been loaned.
That being true. the debt is just as effectively secured,
for all practical purposes. as il it were represented by ma
tional bonds. There is no such thing as security for any
International debt-save where tangible property is
pledged for the purpose--other than the custom which
civilized nations have OF paying their bills. Any nation
may repudiate its obligations il it sees fit to do so. In
that case the creditor may collect by force, II he can.
Bt the nations recognize that it is neither good morals
nor good business to repudiatc just debts. and they DO
not do it so long as they have real governments.
