Christmas Fireworks.

We have from time to time heard
complaints made of the wholesale
use of fireworks by the younger set
during the Christmas holidays. The
indiscriminate firing of the large
cannon crackers and rockets on the
public streets, it is said, is dangerous
and annoying. At an early date. we
are told, petition will be presented
to the city board asking these gentle
men to pass an ordinance, instruct
the officers, or find some way to stop
this hazardous pastime usually in
dulged in by the youngsters during
the Christmas ceason.

The Things That Count.

1t isn't tho path that is dark and
drear,
Nor the storm clouds overhead
1t isn't the racking, aching toll,
But Just as your heart is fed.
1t isn't that vices Turk in your way,
To lure you to ruin and shame
1t isn't the thought that you're COM
mon clay.
It's just how you play life's game.
1t isn't the crown that you hope to
gain,
Nor the gold of the rainbow's
That comes to ease your sorrow and
pain,
But the kindly words you say.
1t isn't the things that you hope to
be,
Far OF in the future bright
It Isn't the onare that you wish to
But how do you stand in Gods
light?

Although some OF the German papers
discuss the Dantzig question from a
thoroughly lingo point OF view, and
speak Of the project OF making Dantzig
free city" as simply an attempt 10
many. the vossiche Zeitung takes an
other attitude. This paper, liberal in
domestic politics. has the distinction ~
being regarded as pro French" be-
cause Of Its constant refusal to regard
France as re-destined enemy OF Ger
many. Concerning the Dantzig conven-
non, the Vossiche Zeitung writes:
The resistance Of the Poles to the
convention does not arse solely from
lmperialstic tendencies, but from the
tact that they regard it as favoring the
interests and aims of England alone.
The free city will be free only to the
extent that its freedom will give Eng.
land means of controlling the whole
economy of Poland and the Ukraine
and OF excluding competition. What Is
omitted from the convention as OF mi.

Than what is specifically included.
Minor Importance simply means of
no Importance to English interests.
On the other hand, all the paragraphs

by virtue OF paragraph 6 the inter-
national treaties of Poland are subject,
insofar as they affect Dantzig, to the
consent Of the free city and of the high
commissioner of the league of nations.
Now since Dantzig Is the only port
through which Poland can come into
contact with the outside world. Poland
can make no commercial treaty which
would not allow, by virtue of this para

CHARGES PLOT
TO KILL UNIONS
Labor Secretary Declares
Policy to Begin Sept.
Will Cause Strike.
(By Universal service.)

Charges that directors of the
principal railroad systems Of the
country were only waiting for expi-
ration of the present agreement be-
tween the government and railways
on September / to inaugurate
union-wrecking I policy by terrorist
methods, were made yesterday by
John Scott, secretary of the Ma
tionaI Association of Railway En-
ployes.
Mr.. Scott declared that the con-
spiracy against railroad labor in
cluded an attempt TO deprive the
men of wage scales and working
conditions that had been granted
under government control, especial
ly the eight-hour working day.
"Of course such an attempt is en-
tirely Illegal" said Mr.. Scott. but
what do the railroads care for that
The result may be a temporary
breakdown in all forms of railway
transportation"
When asked to explain this state
ment, Mr.. Scott replied: Il mean a
railway strike of national proper
tions."
"of the 1900 men recently
turned adrift by the Pennsylvania
Railroad, 5000 were shopmen and
mechanics. These mechanics were
workers who could least be spared
The result is that every mechanic
retained is now obliged to work
overtime in order 20 keep rolling
stock in even passablc condition
The railway men will never give W
the advantages they have gained
after a hard struggle"
