extremely important strategic advantage IS due almost en-
hrely to The highly patriotic and moderate stand taken
during the war BY Samuel Gompess and the other officers
Of The American Federation Of Labor. By comparison
with organized labor Of England and France that Of this
country stood out in fine relief and the country as whole
was grateful.
With but one or two exceptions the realleaders of labor
in the United States remain Of the opinion that the better
policy make progress slowly but surely but local agta-
tors like those who brought about the totally Unauthorized
trolley strike in Pittsburgh and the equally Unauthorized
strike the California railroads and the railroad shops
throughout the country making the position Of the lead
ers extremely difficult and among the possibilities that
shall have Widespread and parayzmg labor troubles
this country. There could be but one outcome from
such unfortunate eventually and that the loss of
much of III ground labor has gained during the past two
years, and the virtual wping out of the high wages and
the wonderful prosperity labor has been enjoying. Our
banking system is ample safeguard against panics Of
the type that used to lay industry and commerce PROSTATE
in this country. but nothing could US from the effects
Of industrial paralysis deliberately brought about
Organized labor ought to read the story of the farmer
who killed the goose that laid the golden eggs.

payers and citizens of the city, most
of them rearing families in this town.
They are particularly interested in
some of the police problems and they
are going to appeal to the newly elect
ed commissioners to name a police
chief who will watch over the children
who are now growing up to manhood
and womanhood.
We have elected four commission
ers who have promised to clean up,
and we expect them to do it. To that
end we are of the opinion that thew
should appoint Tom Ford, one of the
most generally respected police off
GERS in the county, as chief of police.
Tom Ford is both cool headed and level
headed. He believes in law enforce
ment, in the police doing their duty
against the rich as well as against
the poor. but he does not believe in
making fuss about it. Where =

as an arrest Tom Ford believes Il

is not needed he believes in making

A pile OF golden clouds Just peer
ed over the horizon. The profound
and enohltng solitude of the spot sat
urated the soul of Marthaine as she
sat under an elderberry bush let
ting her thoughts idle along pleas
ant and flower strewn vestas OF airy
fancy, All about her was a perva-
sive silence, which wrapped her in a
mantle of content But in her heart
there was question, or rather we
should say between her head and
her heart there was an argument.
Oft and anon frown contracted her
delicately penciled eyebrows and
brought into her azure blue eyes a
look Of pain.
1t is thing of no little impor-
lance when woman finds herself
engaged to two men at the same time,
both of whom are ignorant of the
others pledge. Marthaine had been
very careless, we admit, but now
she was paying, and praying dearly,
for her indiscretion
Joe was handsome and the son OF a
millionaire. He adored the very
earth on which the dainty foot of
Marthiane trod, and had pleaded
with her to be his wife. She had
accepted him.
Bill who was a trif1e 6owlegged,
she had known from that Gay when
she was four years old and he had
hit her with rock for sticking
her tongue out at him. On her sew
enteenth birthday he had proposed
with note of despairing appeal,
which fell like a cold hand upon ones
living soul. She had accepted him.
Now they were both back from the
war, Joe an ace and with the v. c..
and the D. S. c. and Bill as stable
sergeant. They both were pressing
her for an answer. In fact. they had
pressed her so much her ribs were
sore.
Suddenly radiant look came over
her face, like burst of sunshine on
cloudy day. A sha low of melan-
choly touched her 1.-THE fancies, as
cloud dims the waving of the gold
en- grain. as she thought of he, whom
she had discarded, but it quickly dis
sipated into vanishing lovliness as
tender as the flush of a rose leaf
and as ethereal as the light OF soli-
tary star as her thoughts returned
to he, whom she had chosen.
She rose slowly and with eyes that
were misty, she looked up at a sky
as clear as a sapphire and murmered

Hogs sheep and cattle took sharp drops in the prin-
