Into the Cathedral

"Then the multitude of bells hidden
in the lacework of the high tower be-
gan to sound. 1t was not the aerial
fiuttering music of the carlton that l
remembered hearing long ago from the
belfries of the Low Countries. This
was a confused and strident ringing,
tangled and broken, full of sudden
tumults and discords, as if the tower
were shaken and the bells gave out
their notes at hazard, in surprise and
trepidation.

the cathedral. The western entrance
was shut. I hurried to the south

which flickered and smoked like
torches. l noticed that one of them,
fastened against pillar, was burning
crooked and the tallow ran down it's
side in thick white tears.
"The nave of the church was packed
with vast throng of people, all
standing, closely crowded together,
like the underground in forest. The
rood-screen was open, or broken down,

was bare, like a clearing in the woods,
and filled with blazing light

to the altar, stood MAJ, his face
cleaning with pride.

their faces. Others stretched out
their hands. Others shook their fists

from the multitude-voices of exulta-

moved and lifted by mysterious
ground-swell The pillars trembled
and wavered. The candles fared and
went out. The crowd, stricken dumb
with a panic fear, rushed to the doors,
burst open the main entrance and,
struggling in furious silence, poured
out of the building. I was swept along

PRESIDENT CALLS NEW
INDUS RIAL CONF FERENCE
To OPEN WORK DEC. |

Washington, Nov. 2O.-President vii.
son today appointed a new industrial
conference and called it into session
here Dec. /.
The conference will be composed OF II
men, including government officials,
business men and former members OF
the cabinet and former governors Of
states, and it will carry on the work
undertaken by the national industrial
conference which foundered on the rock
Of collective bargaining.
The presidents letter of invitation
follows
"lE accordance with the suggestion
given me by the public group of the
recent industrial conference, I am call.
ing a new body together to carry on
this vitality important work, and / trust
you will give me the pleasure Of naming
you as one of its members.
Guided by the experience Of the last
conference, / have thought it advisable
that in this new body there should be
no recognition OF distinctive groups. but
should have concern that our indus
tries may be conducted with shch re.
gard for justice and fair dealing that
the workmen will feel himself induced
to pui forth his best efforts; that the
employer will have en- encouraging pro
fit, and that the public will not suffer
at the hands Of either class. It is my
hope that this conference may lay the
foundation for the development OF
standards and machinery within our
industries by which these results may
be attained.
"It is not expected that you will deal
directly with any condition which exists
today, but that you may be fortunate
enough to find such ways as will avoid
the repetition of these deplorable con
ditions.
"The conference will meet at place
to be hereafter designated in this city
on the first of December next

WARD POLITICS AND USEFUL
SERVICE ARE NEVER LINKED

There is young man in this city who worked as a
hred hand for number of years. He saved his money
q invested IN business and has worked even harder as
proprietor than when he hired hand In speaking
OF the order to cut off the from the big users this
man stated that he operated his business the city has
9eeh operated ne would not be able to pay his bills for
Gays and would have to close up shop
The difference is this: This business man must earn
the money to pay his bills he must draw upon his own
resources, II ne makes mistake he knows that he and
none other must pay the penalty But the city puts the
extra burden OH the people in the way OF additional taxes
ana pays its bills and continues to run
The moral is this: Men who work hard to maintain
Their own business institutions deserve to have business
administration which will conserve the interests of the
pupc uSl as private interests conserved This can be
done when the people thoroughly make up their minds to
do and leave sentiment and prejudice and ward politics
out OF their city affairs.
