A BACHELORS PLAY SPELL.
BY Horace Seymour Keller.

There's cute little iike coming in ev'ry
day,
Who says 70 me morning or night:
please, Mister Man, II I IS good can
play
we's soicrs what has a big fgbt7"
So, what can sfellow do busy or not,
With such brave Iaddie as he,
But square for battle right there on the
spot
Between this great hero and me7
His checks they are red as the roses at
morn,
His eyes they are bright as the stars.
lie beats me until all my powers are
shOrn-
But my heart alone carries the scars.
Ike him, love him, gbis brave little
chap
Who taps on my library door.
And when ] admit him he iurnps on my
lap
And cries: 1--WE IS soicrs once more"
And when he departs, with cute little
He says: 'Tn come some other day.
Tomorrow seems waiting very long
while
For crusty old bachelors play.

The Need is for Production.

The Labor Herald, in an editorial
emphasizing the necessity of production
and the duty of workingmen TO supply
the need, makes mention of somewhat
interesting incident. 1t is that of a man
who can earn at his work about s14 day,
but works only about three days a week
lie Is good workman, and there is great
demand for the products he is engaged on.
The Labor Herald further says the
average daily attendance at one industrial
plant ID this city IS only So per cent. This
points To an explanation Of the falling of
IN production which has been so manifest
since the close Of the war The working
men are not doing their full duty.
Here is something that labor, especially
organized labor, should give serious at
tcntion 70. The right Of labor to a fair
share Of the value Of its products is now
generally recognized, and plans to this end
will be carried to perfection But labor has
an obligation, also-an obligation to do its
full part at all times in keeping up produc-
tion to the needed limit And this duty it
should not ignore for an instant.

An he's done with dukes nm princes, an

An he's pledged himself to freedom, for
he knows what freedom means.
He's bought himself bit of ground, an
Lord he's proud an glad
For in the land he came from that is
what he never had,
Now his kids can beat his writin', an

For a new life lies before us; we We got
hope an faith an cheer,
We can face the future bravely an our

For load is off his shoulders an he treads
an easier way;
An he'll tell you, il you ask him, so that
you can understand
Just what freedom means 20 people who

Should Emulate Hen Frank lin.

Benjamin Franklin, by reason of his
splendid service to the cause of American
Independence, and his many scientific
and practical accomplishments, has by
some been called sour Greatest Amcri-
can" Certainly, he is high among the
greatest, If not at the top of tho list.
Benjamin Franklin never was men,
Der of the United States Senate, but he
was member of tho convention that
framed and promulgated the Constitn-
ton of the United States. And in carry
ing this important duty TO conclusion,
he found himself in the position now
occupied by, many OF our present-day
Senators in respect of the Peace Treaty.
He was not satisfied with the Federal
Constitution as finally framed by the
convention.
But Franklin did not hold out, bllndly
and insistently, for the rejection OF the
Constitution because he was not satisfied
with it, He refrained from placing his
own judgment against the united con-
clusion Of a majority of the convention.
He even considered the probability that
the majority might be right and he in the
wrong.
IL confess that do not entirely approve
of this Constitution at present, SAID
Franklin to tho convention: "but, SIR,
am not sure that | shall ever approve 1T;
for, having lived so long. | have ex-
perienced many instances OF being Obliged,
on fuller consideration, to change opin-
ions, even on important subjects, which
once thought right but found to be other
wise. 1t is, therefore, that the older l
grow, the more apt | am TO doubt my
own judgment Of Others"
Here was n frank admission that this
fine and talented old patriot did not hold
his judgment to be absolutely right,
against all contentious to the contrary.
He was willing to admit the judgment Of
others might be better even than his own.
He said he doubted if any other conven-
ton could make better Constitution
than the one then under consideration.
He recognized the absolute necessity for
having a Constitution under which TO
conduct the national administration. and
if ne could not have a Constitution to his
liking, he would not insist upon the re-
pudiation of the one that had been pre-
pared.
al hope, therefore," said this wise old
statesman, in conclusion, 'for our own
sakcs rs a part of the people and for the
sake Of our posterity, that we shall act
heartily and unanimously IN recommend
ing this Constitution wherever our IN
fuence may extend, and turn our future
thoughts and cndeavors 10 the means OF
having il we'll administered. On the
whole. sir, cannot help expressing wish
that every member Of the convention who
NAV still have objection TO II would,
with me on this occasion, doubt a little
of his own infallibility, and, to make
our unanunity. put his name to
the instrument"
How fine. how truly patriotic. What a
good thing it would be if Franklins ex-
ample would have influence upon Lodge
and his followers in our Senate today and
induce them 10 entertain doubts OF the
infaIIibility of their judgments in respect
Of the Treaty of Peace and the League OF
Nations Covenant. With some of Prank
Inns real patriotism and clear thinking
they would soon abandon all thoughts OF
further opposition.

to choose their vocation from helpful
talks heard at their meetings.
A membership campaign is being con-
Quoted this week in an effort to enlist
all the boys possible from the high
school. Principal Robertson Is giving
the campaign his hearty support. He
