A Ballade Of DreamlA nd.

hid my heart in n nest Of roses.
Out OF the suns way, hidden apart;
In a softer bed than the soft white
snow Is.
Under the roses hid my heart.
Why would 1t sleep not? Why
should 1t start,
When never leaf of the rose tree
stirred?
What made sleep flutter his wings
and part?
Only the song of a secret bird.
Lie still. said, for the winds wing
closes,
And mild leaves mufrle keen suns
dart;
Lie still, for the wind on the warm
seas dozes,
And the wind is unquieter yet than
thou art.
Does thought in thee still as
thorn's wound smart?
Does the fang still fret thee of
hope deferred?
What bids the lips Of thy sleep
dispart?
Only the song of secret bird.
The green lands name that a charm
enCloses,
It never was writ in the travellers
chart,
And sweet on its tree as the fruit
that grows is,
1t never was sold in the merchants
mart
The swallows Of dreams thru its
dimfelds dart.
And sleeps are the tunes in the
treetops heard;
No hounds now awakens the wild
wood heart.
Only the song of a secret bird.
ENVOI.
In the world of dreams have chosen
my part,
To sleep for a season and hear no
word
OF true loves truth, or of light loves
art,
Only the song Of a secret bird.

In rough weather?
have noticed that the scallops In
the shallow water on the beach have
the power to anchor themselves to
stones or to some other object by
putting out little tough but elastic
cable from near the hinge and that
they do so when the water Is rough.
II. Do new buds push on the old
leavesf

cal flight of some writer that the new
buds crowd the old leaves Off. But
this Is tnot true az rule. The new
bud is formed In the axil OF the old
leaf long before the leaves are ready
to fall. With only two species OF
our trees known to me might the

why OPPOSE ARslIaATIoNP

Why should Mr.. Gompers and Ia
Dor fight proposal which creates
court to hear disputes between labor
and employing and producing inter-
ests. Why isn't that the logical ana
honest fashion of settlemen and why
should it be opposed moro than the
settlement of other difficulties in
courts made and provided for that
purpose? Would Mr.. Gompers ana
his supporters object to the estah-
lishment OF courts of equity if such
courts were not already in existence.
Labor can not be its own judge more
than capital may the court OF last
resort, nor can labor settle IT own
disputes in a court Of its own by
threat Of destruction OF the COM
merce, and starvation of that dis
interested party" the public, even II
Mr.. Gompers were to be chief justice
of such a court.
What is unfair to labor or rail-
roads or that "disinterested party"
the public, which pays freight and
PASSENGER rates and wages, about
Just court, which shall investigate,
hear evidence and bring in verdict?
What other way to justice to all is
open?
Mr.. Gompers does not desire po-
litical labor party. Yet that would
be a much more honest fashion Of
fighting than by strikes that give the
public and the roads no part except
ito submit to the demands made or
be destroyed?
Yet, If naturalization Of railroads
and coal mines is to arrive 1t must
come via politics; there is no other
way except thru brute force that
such conhscation Of property may be
accomplished. He is also opposed to
an arbitration board Where does
this leave Mr.. Gompers and those
who agree with him7
Long ago a custom obtained Of
trial by battle. That is, the dispute
was settled by a fight to the death
| between disputants. The one who
killed the other was adjudged to have
! been in the right. The world cast
/ that law and custom aside with the
feudalism that created and upheld it
| We do not desire to revive or con-
/ tinue that custom between individ-
uals or public interests nor do we de-
sire to re-create a feudalism either Of
labor or of capital.
! But what else does Mr.. Gompers
contemplate? Where else does the
path he assumes to follow lead?

The town of Sheffield found no
difficulty putting over bond issue
of s25, 900. for the kind of a soldiers
memorial II wanted. The town of
Vinton Is out raising money for the
500. 900 hospital which it very great
ly needs, which leads to the conclus-
ion that a life saving station like
hospital would be as fitting memoir
ial to the soldiers who offered their
lives in the service of their country
as any kind Of building that we
could erect.
Vinton is only an average county
seat town and s10o,oO is none too
much to put into a hospital in any
county which does not have one now.
There are probably eighty other
county seat towns out of the ninety
nine counties in Iowa which have the
same need for a modern 100000.
hospital that Vinton has. In this day
and age there ought to be modern
hospital in every county in Iowa with
plenty Of trained nurses to manage
it.
The voting Of county bonds under
the soldiers memorial law offers easy
access to acquisition OF the hospitals
we need. Members Of the American
Legion have been somewhat disheart-
ened at the unwillingness of the pub
lie TO vote bonds for soldiers memoir
ial buildings. The trouble lies large
ly IN the feeling that the projects are

HOW TT WAS DOME.
Cedar Rapids Republican.

Major J. j. Farley, anordnance
officer, told a congressional commits
tee the other day that at the Muscle
Shoals nitrate plant he found boiler
makers asleep in boilers, electricians
out in the field telling stories, cook
employed as a drartsman, q farmer
employed as craftsman, q former
actor drawing pay as a mechanic.
That is a symposium OF war activ-
tiles, debaucheries and wastes. 1t hts
exactly. 1t was in such ways and by
such men that everything connected
with the war was apparently done.
Few men fitted the places to which
they we're assigned. and fewer cared
about what they did or how they did
it. or whether they did 1t at all.
Nearly everyone loafed on the JOB
and that on high pay and the loafing
extended to overtime Of all sorts for
which they were paid twice. The
contractors under whom these loaf
ers and non-fits were employed
didn't care except that the longer IT
took to do a job ana the more things
cost the more money they made for
they got their plus" under the sys-
tenn Of cost and plus-the plus being
a per cent on the costs and the
greater the costs the more that per-
centage mounted up to fill their
pockets.
And that system is the trouble that
afflicts the country still. The meth
DDS of irresponsible labor that were
put in vogue during the war still
maintain and so we have too much
half work done on over time pay and
too much who cares darn what 1t
costs or how 1t Is done.
