the United States has performed its part IN the
making of peace. So long as there is any pos
sibihty that the terms will be changed or that
there will be divisions of opinion among the

1t is true that the people of Europe have not

q restless and distracted state. 1t follows also,
as the president says, that our exports of al
most every commodity will continue abnormal
" large until Europe begins to produce again.
But there is no connection whatever between
the unrest in Europe and time consumed by the
senate in the consideration of the peace treaty.
The treaty is now fact so far as concerns the
European allies and their recovery from the
war is no longer hindered by uncertainty as to
its terms. The real delay in the recuperation
of the warning nations was caused by Mr.. Wal
son himself in holding up the making of peace
for seven long months, while he fought for his
league of nations. During all that time no in
IDENTITIES could be collected from Germany,
none of the stolen machinery could be returned,
nobody knew what territorial adjustments were
to be made, and in general the population OF
Europe was kept completely in the dark con-

Europe from his own shoulders to the United

EMPLOYEES WHO CLIMB.

st. Joseph Gazette: In the course
| of a very interesting address to the
EMPLOYEES OF the Chicago, Great
| Western Railroad company, W. l.
Park, federal manager OF the prop.
erty points out that there are two
kinds OF cooperation the employee
| may render in the business OF sery-
ing the public One Of these is. OF
course, the obligation resting upon
every employe of any concern to rem
der a specific service for specific
wage, or reward, under which the
quality Of cooperation rendered may
be, and frequently is, measured en-
tfreIy by the amount received there
for. This, however, is not always
true. There are some employees who
pride themselves upon the fact that
they render as little service as is
possible and continue to hold their
positions.
The other class OF cooperation IL
that growing out Of genuine inter-
est on the part OF the employe in the
success of the concern employing
him. This interest manifests itself
without any thought of the compen-
sation rendered therefor or without
regard to the immediate personal adj
vantage of the employe. It Is dis
played in the courteous treatment OF
patrons by the employe, in sugges-
tons whereby the service may be
i'm proved or through which the phys
ical property of the employer may
be protected. 1t s automatic that
any concern must have loyal and
efficient employees If 1t Is to succeed,
a principle that is as true in rail-
reading as in merchandising. Most
men who come to prominence in the
industrial and commercial world owe
their advancement to their discern
emit in the selection OF helpers.
And, in the final analysis, who
could be more directly interested in
the success of a railroad, or Of any
other industrial or commercial con-
Germ. than the employe who serves
it? His daily bread depends, for the
time being, at least, upon its ability
to meet its weekly or monthly pay
rolls. Why, then, should he not be
in duty bound to render whatever CO.
operation in the conduct Of the bust
ness as will tend to make 1t more
successful each recurring year? The
employee who limits his service to
the mere transaction Of the pre-
scribed duties in the contract of his
employment and TO the acceptance
of the pay therefor seldom gets any
higher on the ladder Of industrialism
than that Those who climb into the
highest positions on that ladder are
they who are always willing and
anxious TO go outside, If need be, the
mere terms Of their employment in
order TO exhibit their pride and In
terest in the success of the concern
they serve.

RUDE UNREST OF JOAQUIN MILLER

hood days In frontier settlement
and at the age of IL started with
his parents In an oxen-drawn
wagon on a seven months trip to
Oregon. A few years later he ran
away from home. had many adven-
lures with Indians. miners and
desperadoes. went with the
Walker filibustering expedition TO
Nicaragua and then returned to
Oregon He received some educa-
ton at pioneer college," edited
paper, studied law, became a
frontier judge and finally. at the
age CT 81, began to write verses.
In 1869 Miller went with
volume OF his poems to San
Francisco, where he expected a
warm welcome by Bret Harte and
other iterati Of the Overland
monthly. Being disappointed at
the cool reception he started east,
met additional rebuffs in New
York and then moved to London.
After many efforts he succeed
ed in having a volume of his
poems published and then Lon
least for few weeks.
But Miller has always receiv.
ed more serious attention in
England thin in America, large.
ly because of his cowboy pose
and other oddities in dress, be-
hayior and writing. He lived in
a log cabin of his OWE construc-
ton in Washington. d. c. for
several years and when he final
ly settled in California he had
a separate dwelling for each
member of his family in the be-
lief that only one person should
live in house.
Miller, like Whitman, has been
regarded, especially abroad, as a
typical American poet 1t is
doubtful if the claim, which is
based largely upon superficiali-
ties, can be established. But it
is very true that Miller's eager
restlessness and his irresistible
'westwardness" are characteris-
tically United States"
The last lines of Columbus"
give point TO the idea:
He gained world; he gave that

Kansas City Star: my cradle
was a covered wagon, pointed
west" wrote Cincinnatus Heiner
Miller, better known by his pen
name of joaquin" Miller fur
Their declared that his birth &C.
Cured while the wagon was cross
ing the line between Ohio and In
diana.
The incident is significant. Not
a little of the rude unrest"
which Miller attributed to the
western immigrant of covered
wagon days surged in his own
veins and cropped out at frequent
intervals in his life and writing.
No one fact is more characters
tic of Miller than his sense of
unending forward movement. 1t
is the keynote of Columbus"
doubtless the masterpiece OF Mil
Ter. and several times called the
best short poem produced in
America since the civil war:
Behind him lay the gray Azores,
Behind the Gates Of Hercules;
Before him not the ghost of
shores,
Behind him only shoreless seas.
The good mate said, Now must
we pray,
For To- the very stars are gone
Brave Admir- speak. What shall
l say?"
why, say, Sail on! Sail on!
And on!"
The same note is struck in Mil
ler's spirited poem to 1.-THE
Missouri" After referring to the
Missouri as lord of strength"
yellow lion" and mad molder of
the continent" he concludes.
Hoar sire of hot. sweet Cuban
seas,
Gray father of the continent,
Fierce fashioner of destinies.
OF states thou hast upreared or
rent,
Thou know'st no limit; seas turn
back,
Bent, broken from the shaggy
shore;
But thou, in thy resistless track,
Art lord and master evermore.
Missouri, surge and sing and
sweep,
Missouri, master Of the deep,
From snow-reared Rockies to the
sea,
Sweep on, sweep on eternally!

sistible forward movement in

THE REAL BURDEN BEARERS.

Skilled labor is not carrying the greatest bur
den due to high costs although it is skilled labor
that is leading the fight against them and pro-
posing some threatening experiments as weap-
ons to be used by people as whole. The real
burden bearers are the clerks, office men, the
salaried employees who are not organized for
collective bargaining, the professional men, the
returned soldiers. No increased and constantly
increasing wage scale has helped them to meet
higher living costs Yet they have done their
measure in the war work and finance. As yet
no concerted voice of the attitude of this great
element toward industrial questions has been
heard, nor has there been evidence of united
protest against particular methods or particular
interests. There is well nigh universal protest
against rising costs. 1t is Of vast Importance
to know what these people who are carrying the
heaviest burden are going to do when questions
Of national policy come up for definite settle
ment. And wise foresight would direct the
attention of all parties to such settlement of the
administration, Of congress, Of financial and
business interests, of labor in the mass and the
railroad men in particular, to the opinions and
probable action of the workers who pay the
costs without any commensurate benefit in
higher wages.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Webster City Freeman-Journal:
The great majority Of the people are
no; profiteers. Take the big farming
class, for instance. The farmer &C
cepts the market price for what he
sells, but has no voice IN fixing that
price. Is he profteer? morgan

so are millions upon millions OF
people throughout the country. They
have no hand in fixing prices and arr
content 10 make fair profts and live

Oft times within the night wake
And 10, I find them there;

With lips OF love and laughing eyes
And wisps of raven hair.
