IN THE OLD HOME TOWN

good cook when you are not a Meth odist?' For, as everybody knows, the old home is made up very largely of Methodists.
 It is part of the life of the old home town. however-the best part of it. indeed-that men and women are measured for their real worth. "Old Seth' and Aunt Arminta Ward have been dead many years. Their bodies rest peacefully in the cemetery out on the hill. Neither of them was known to the world outside the old home town. They did not belong even to the old home towns four hundred. But in the memory of the people of the good old place. they still live, and Young Seth,' as old now as "Old Seth" was in that day. is back to find a welcome in the homes and among the people where his parents made a place for themselves in their quiet. peaceful lives.

That also is true But serving all classes in work that is ir itself noble and based largely on self-sacrifice, they surely do not wish to align themselves with any one class, as against all the other classes, and perhaps forfeit to a great extent the esteem in which they are now held?

 The Age-Herald is wiling to fight the battles of the school teachers in Iany way it can. It wants to see them paid better salaries. Many of them do not get half as much as they de- serve, but they will not help their cause by joining union and adopt ing the militant methods of organized labor.

SONG oE THE HARvEsTERs

By Edgar Daniel Kramer. Oh tis finished. .<ll the golden corn
 is gathered from the husk, From the gnarled limb the apple,
 and the honey from the comb, And we turn our footsteps homeward
 where across the fragrant dusk We can see all glory gleaming in
 the little liGhts of home. Oh. long have been our labors and our
 strength ha, been outpoured In the meadow. in che woodland. in
 the upland fallow field, So that now our barns are creaking
 with the treasures we have
 stored.
 Our largess of the riches that ths
 earth was made to yield. We have walked in humble patience
 down the wind blown wondes
 ways.
 Our hearts have heard the murmur
 that we know can never cease. And we dream that we have builded for an endless length of days A temple Of our gladness on the
 shining heights of peace. So We lift our glad Tank sgiving. We
 have hardened to the Word, And our voices rise in rapture like
 the voices of the sod The mystery of living in our souls
 hue strangely stirred. And our voices sweep to heaven ix

TEMPERAMENT AND THE LAW

lope who composed more like book keeper than book writer. sticks out among his contemporaries like sore thumb, just because he was regular in his habits.
 Reginald De Koven. who wrote the music for Rip Van Winkle'; Rosa Rosa Raisa. who sings in it. believe that to handicap woyk of art. by ap- plying to it the regulations ., An ordi- nance is barbarism. Their appeal is to the soul and what does an ordi- nance know about the soul? A work of ar. is like an orchid: it needs an atmo sphere to grow in which the air of everyday would devastate; open the door to the ordinary and you ruin the product. Mir. Baklanoff probably req sons similarly.
 They may be right. But if so their method of procedure must be that which is also open to the anarchist; he must convince the public and get the law changed before he can afford to disregard it. They may get some consolation from reflecting that tenn perament uncontrolled leads to the "operatic graft.p which is alleged so freely with even greater certainly than fO hiS1 art. fs-4i tI titfttt tj''ss t

German Blood Once More
 Stains Streets of Berlin
M * :m

I1NHE staccato bark of machine guns, the rattle of rifles and bitter street fighting in Berlin re- mind one of the days before Noske, Germany's "iron man." got control of affairs and put down radicals with a firm hand.
 Dr. Liebknecht and Rosa Luxem- burg are dead, slain like rats that scurry along gutter, but. their spirit still lives. A mob estimated tt 40,- 900, composed largely of socialists and communists, tried to storm the Reichstag building in protest against the industrial council bill, which was under consideration.
 The familiar red flags and plac- ards, incendiary speeches and all the devices used by radical leaders ro in- flame their followers were in evil dence. Soon the crowd, which might have contented itself with demon stration," became involved with troops and the battle was on. More than 20 civilians were killed Cor respondents describe scenes suggest ing the all this in Wilhelms former capital, acclaimed the most orderly in Europe.
 In recent months rumblines of dis content have come from Germany frequently, but each report was dis counted by the fact that Noske con tinued to wield an autocratic power. Evidently there is still tremendous amount of bolshevism left in the fatherland that is only waiting an op- portunity to break out in riots such as the latest upheaval in Berlin.

From the Chicago Herald and Ex-
 aminer.
 GT1HE legal difficulties of various
 performers in the Chicago opera
 are now in the spotlight. A Russian baritone is said to have aban- doned his wife and children in favor of a young woman now singing minor roles with the company, and 5-year- old Helen Berg is prevented from ap- bearing on the stage in "F-p Van Win kle" by the charges of the Juvenile Protective association that such ap- pearance contributes to her delin- quency.
 The position of the artist in regard to the law is hard. Everybody is bound ito obey the law. But the es- sence of the law is monotonyi the essence of art is originality. It is the business of the law to see that within certain limits everybody behaves alike. 1t is the business of the artist to be different The two, therefore, are bound to clash at times.
 Some great artists have been phleg- matic. Most have been peculiar. Shel- ley, who was denied the custody of his own children. is the type Trol-

A RIVAL OF WOOD ALCOHOL

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Another pleasant little drink for those deprived of their customary alcoholic stimulant is paregoric It is not so dead ly as wood alcohol, but with two per cent of opium and 50 per cent of alcohol it is capable of producing startling eff fleets. At present it is easily obtained. being superior in that respect to other forms of dope like cocaine and heroin. But with it's increasing use there will nat urally be an effort to guard more care fully it's sale.
 In the enforcement of law contrary to the habits of a large percentage of the people, perils ike this will long have to be met. It is idle to argue that mar kind win be better off without stimu- lants Admitting the truth of the ct~.- tention, it still remains to be said that civilization has engendered artificial tastes extremely difficult to eradicate. This phase of the prohibition question has hardly been sufficiently considered. Mere measures of restriction or suppression will not deal adequately with it.
 It would have been far better if att tenpts to promote temperance in drink ing had been directed rather to the en- couragement of beverages of low alcoholic content than to the exclusion of ali. The wine and beer drinking countries are not ably free from drunkenness. But the moralists who have made the use of wine and beer a crime must tackle in earnest the very serious problem raised by wood alcohol and paregoric.
