STAR GAZING
patch.

Marconi says that earth may yet
speakspeak to the far-off stars. Some
people find it hard enough to stretch
their minds to take in a whole world
and it's problems. And some cannot
even visualize the entity Of single ma
ton. How can they bring within the
scope of their vision the realm of plan
cts?
Whether we can communicate with
the stars Or not, it Is worth while TO
60 out at night and look up at them,
project our minds into infinite space
and try to get view Of the problems
which vex this old earth as they might
be seen by an inhabitant Of some 9TH
or member OF the solar system.
It is just those men who make the
effort to look upward and outward who
become the S06rE or the world.
you can enlarge the horizon Of your
mind and achieve that detachment
which sees man in his relation to his
fellow men, man in relation to his
country and in relation to his world,
and his world as only one of an infinite
number of worlds, then and then only
can you sense the idea of how essen
tial it Is that men should work togeth-
er, nations work in harmony even as
the Creator has ordained that the plan
cts shall move in an ordered course
through infinite space and time.

ASLONG AS MEMORY REMAINS

Who hopes to live long enough to
see the people of this country declare
that Berger and Hillquit and the So
cialist party of America were right IN
their views of the world war? Who
ever has such hopes but deceives him
self when he INDUCES them. SO long
as Berger, Hillquit and the present
American Socialist party are remem-
bered they will be remembered as hay
ing gone wrong in the great war.
am willing to rest the case of the So
cialists who left the Socialist party
and launched the Social Democratic
league to the judgment of history
From the first moments at st. Louis
we tried to keep the party right as we
saw the right. Never since then have
we recanted our beliefs in Socialism
as we have always understood and
still understand it. Nor have we ever
for a moment been guilty of maintain
ing an attitude of neutrality during
this war. Regarding Germany as the
aggressor We have been and to the
end shall be against her.-Allan L.
Benson, Socialist candidate for presi-
dent in 1916, in The New Appeal.

BACK TO THE FARM

In all the talk of the reabsorption
Of returning soldiers into the life of
the country not enough has been
said about the great prospects and
possibilities in agriculture. For years
to come one Of the most pressing
needs of the world will be that of
food. We are looking forward to a
period Of great industrial and COM
mercial expansion. But the indus
trial and commercial structure de-
ponds upon the plentifulness, variety
and reasonab BILE cheapness of the food
supply.
What better prospect could we offer
to the hundreds of thousands of young
men who have acquired physical ro-
business and vigor from the open air
life of the army than to direct their
steps to the farms? A farmers liv.
ing is always assured. He is never.
out of employment. His Importance
as factor in our national economy
has never been greater than it is to-
day.
One thing which has deferred many
farm-bred men from staying on the
land has been the backwardness in
the development of rural community
life The rural school, the rural
church and social life have compared
unfavorably with city life and condi-
tons. Students of agricultural con-
ditions are fully alive to this, and
much is being done and will be done
to make farm life brighter and more
attractive Back to the farm
should be an essential part of our ma
tional reconstruction policy.

FROM A COLLEGE FRIEND

Again we have heard from our col
lege friend, Max Ehrmann, poet, novel
list and essayist. He resides at Terre
Haute, Ind, and few lines from his
pen on the world war follow:
do not know what fashions of art,
science, and philosophy may he in
vogue at future times. But this I
know: Nowhere will a nation cringe
before mailman, such as the kaiser
who has made of the earth a grave
yard and a funeral pail of the soul
He is the last of his kind. He is in
comprehensive. He was born Of a
good woman, and nursed at her breast
He was playful In childhood, and he
had brothers and sisters. He had ALI
good things given him, as If the earth
were fairyland. He grew to manhood,
loved, and had children of his own.
He had many beautiful gardens anC
stately palaces. He had every wish
gratit1ed by seventy million souls. Such
man should have become very god
of love and gratitude. Instead. he
turned and cut the breasts where chill
dren drink. He often sat" in quiet
woodland palace, and by signature
or word sent hundreds Of thousands
of men to unspeakable agony and ter
rible death, yet he always spared his
own sons. He murdered little children
and cut off the hands Of little boys.
He tortured innocent young women by
tearing them from their homes and
them like cattle to dis
tant lands. He wantonly burned cities
that held centuries OF accumulated
treasures dear to the art and learning
of the whole world. He dragged labor
weary old men and women from their
homes and shot them. He shot thou
sands Of prisoners betavse an ounce
of steel cost him less than piece Of
bread. In history he will consort with
Nero, Tamerlane, and Ivan the Terri
ble-human monstrosities! / do NOT
know what men may think in future
times, but this l know: They will de-
mand to read that he, too felt the
quick, sharp agony of violent death.
And if there be made a peace that
does not shed his blood, it will be a
damned peace! For this America has
clinched her fist. The living, the SOL
diers, posterity-all demand for him
the bullet or the ak!

who died in the war will be called upon
to make a decision as to permanent

KNOCKING ON WOOD

The habit that people have of
knocking on wood, such as table or
chair, was inherited from pagan an
cestors. who believed that little gray
gnomes lived in the earth and, when
they wandered through forests long
ago, gently tapped on the bark of
the trees for the good wishes of the
fairies to protect them from the
malice of the gnomes. The rustling
of the leaves or the swaying of the
branches was regarded as an answer
promising protection.-Popular Me-
chanics.

AGAINST PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

Government ownership as a peace
time policy is being fought in most
of the leading newspapers. The issue
was made acute by the seizure of the
transatlantic cables and the movement
to take over the radio service. Most
of the editorial comment is that no ex-
tensive program of state ownership
should be entered upon without di-
rect fiat from the people. When the
facts are fully understood, the news
papers believe, the people would not
sanction public ownership. The New
York Times holds that government
ownership is state Socialism and is
therefore opposed to American ideals.
The New York Herald in asking for re-
turn to private ownership points out
that legislation will be needed to &C.
complish this and that when this legs
lation is written is the time to cure

MT. Morgan in his book on the beaver gives the following instance on what he assures us is excellent au- thority: "A fox one night entered the henhOuse of a farmer, and after de- strOying large number of fowls, gorged himself to such repletion that he could not pass out through the small aperture by which he had en- tered. The proprietor found him in the morning sprawled out upon the floor apparently dead from surfeit and taking him by the legs carried him out unsuspectingly, and for some dis tance to the side of his house, where he dropped him upon the grass. No sooner did Reynard find himself free than he sprang to his feet and made his escape."-S. J. Holmes.

"I like a man who writes legible hand" said Mir. Blinkinton, "and 1 should be inclined to trust a man who wrote his signature so plainly that it was unmistakably clear in each and every letter.
 "The best letter of recommendation that could receive for a young man would be one written by himself in which each and every word, including his signature, was absolutely legible and clear, the signature being of es- pecial importance. An older man might perhaps be pardoned for slur- ring his signature; a famous man might write signature that was quite undecipherable in itself, but that was known because 1t was asso- dsted with him In the public mind. but a young man or a man publicly unknown should write his name so that 1t can be read.
 "An absolutely clear signature means that the writer of 1t likes his own name and Is ready to stand back of it and that he wants you to know 1t without possibility of mistake.
 When see a signature like that feel that tie writer of 1t is stand ing up like man a'I looking me fair and square in the eye. feel that I know where to find him and that I can trust him.
