LEFT A NAME THAT ENDURES
Memory Of Noah Worcester, Known
as First "Great Apostle Of Peace"
WorthiIy Honored. II

America has produced more than one
very famous cobbler. One Of these
was Noah Worcester, known as the
first great Apostle Of Peace" He it
was who founded 'the first great
Peace Society of Massachusetts"
Born in 1853, he went into the war
against Great Britain when about IS
years of age, and fought at the battle
of Bunker Hill. He became so dis
gusted with the vices Of the soldiers
life and the horrors of the battlefield
that he became q hater of war and ad-
vocate of peace. He worked in the
field all day and made shoes at night.
besides studying as much as he could.
He became minister before 30. con-
tinuing to do farm work and cobble
shoes so as to exc out an existence.
He even taught the children of his
parishiOners for no pay. conducting
school In his study. 1t was in 1914,
after he had written urging Christian
unity, that he published his famous
pamphlet, "A Solemn Review of the
Custom Of War" advocating the abol-
ishment of war. interpreting literally
the New Testament doctrine, "Resist
not evil" in line with the teaching of
the Society of Friends Dying in his
SOth year he asked to have inscribed
upon his tombstone: "He Wrote the

NEED NOT HAVE HEsITA7ED
Enraptured Maiden Was Eager for
Question HoverIns on the Lips
Of Fond Lover.

The dance was over, and now. as
Rupfield tenderly helped her on with
her wraps the question that had been
burning through her brain all the
evening reached fever heat.
Would his lips ask her what his
handsome dark eyes had seemed to be

She hoped so. She prayed so. She
and Rupfield had known each other
for four months now. and never had
such splendid opportunity for the
question offered itself.
He gulped. She trembled with an
ticipation. Why was the poor boy so
shy? Did he think for moment she
could possibly refuse him? Dear, fool

tered. "I-will you-would you"
Yes. Rupfeld?" she encouraged
with eager tenderness.

for a bite to eat?" he finished breath
lessly.
He had actually asked it! Helena
beamed gloriously and accepted with

"Faust" a Real Personaoe.

faust" hitherto regarded as a leg
endary character, emanating from the
brain of Goethe. really existed as
self-styled prophet, quack doctor and
peddler Of fake horoscopes. according
to discovery made during the re-
cataloguing of the Munich library. In
the diary Of Canon Killian Lleb there
was found this entry:
"Faust, June, 1928, when the sun
and Jove meet in the same constella-
tion other prophets like myself will
be born"
Under this Canon Lieb had written.
"Faust may believe he was great
commander with high-soundng titles
undertaking pilgrimage through
Germany, but he was, as a matter of
fact, quack doctor selling faxed horo-
scopes and remedies. The fact that he
became rich was due chiefly to his ed
ucation, he having been n graduate Of
Heidelberg in the class of 1887"

sycamore's Good Traits.

OF all our forest trees the sycamore
Is the mst to clothe itself In the spring.
In fact, spring is gone before the syca-
more has donned its raiment of foliage.
In early June, when all the other trees
are at their best. the sycamore still
displays its winter baroness scarcely
veiled by immature leaves. 1t is said
that the sycamOre's leaves, which come
in May. are likely to be destroyed by
mysterious fungous disease. and that
the foliage which finally natures In
July is In reality the trees second
crop. II this be the true explanation
of the sycamore's tardiness, the tree
deserves great praise. Such undiscour-
agenble persistence is quite in hnr-
mony with the sycamore's rugged per-
sonality. What other tree would not
give up the fight were 1t thus handi-
capped and tortured by malignant
enemy?

ANTI-sTRIKE LAW

The Cummins bill, for the re-
turn of the railroads to private
operation, carries provision
which makes it unlawful for the
employees to strike. A law which
forbids railway employees from
striking and allows employees of
other industries to strike savors
strongly of class legislation.
Those who favor the anti-strike
clause admit that it can only be
justified on the ground that the
operation of the railroads is a
public service industry. To make
this argument consistent, the an
ti-strike clause should forbid en-
ployes of all public service indus
tries from striking, instead of
making it apply to the railroad
industry alone.
A plan for compulsory arbitra-
tion has been offered to take the
place of the right to strike. No
thinking person will deny that a
just arbitration of labor disputes
would be an improvement over
the present methods of settling
disputes between labor and capi-
tai, but a law which makes it
compulsory for the parties to a
dispute to submit their differen-
ces to board of arbitrators
should guarantee to the parties
that they will receive justice.
Under the proposed law the board
would be appointive. We have
many national and state commits
sions, all of which are appoint
i've, to control various public
utilities. The acts of these COM
missions have not been such as
would inspire confidence in COM
missions and arbitrators of this
kind. Almost without exception
these boards have favored the cor
porations instead of the people.
For this reason, the railroad en-
ployes have just cause to oppose
law which compels them to SUBJ
NIT their grievance to a board
constituted in this manner. If we
must have board of arbitrators
to settle labor troubles, it should
rot be appointed but should be ell
ected by the people and should
have power to settle all labor dis
putes, not one kind alone. And it
would probably be a good plan to
abolish all of our commissions for
the regulation of public utility
corporations and submit all dis
putes of every kind between the
people and public utilities cor

Beware Of Talking Too Much.

Tact is displayed to advantage when
people practice the old motto, that ISL
lence Is golden" II doesn't pay to re-
tort to every injustice. The fellow
that can grin and bear" is sure to win.
In the long run. Some folks are al
ways talking but never have any fol-
lowing to speak Of. At recent pub
lie gathering man Of decided intelli-
gence commented on the address Of
another by snying, "That man can
speak more words and say less than
any other man know" It's not words
but ideas that make the world go. The
best advice that young person can
cling to Is, Don't talk unless you have
really something to say" And be-
sides It's pretty good rule that says,
People who always have their mouths
open seldom have their minds full"
That may not be strictly true. but It's
worth thinking about.-GrIt

SEDITION LAW

The sedition law which is be-
ing considered by congress pro-
vides, among other drastic feat
ures, that the postmaster general
shall be given power to exclude
from the mail any newspaper or
other publication which in his
opinion publishes anything in vio-
lation of that law. 1t is admitted
by those who favor the bill that
an innocent person might have
his business ruined, either thru
malice or a mistake in judgment,
by the postmaster general, but
they contend that it is better that
the innocent should suffer this
wrong than to take any chances
upon the general public being in
oculated with the poison of sedi-
tious literature. Strange, how lit
tie confidence these public SER
wants have in the American peo-
pie. They seem to be possessed
with the idea that if the great
American public should get a
taste of some of the literature
which they have seen, that it
would so affect them that they
would destroy the government. If
our lawmakers have read and un-
derstand the doctrine of which
they speak, how does it come that
they have not been affected by it's
teachings? Are they immune from
the dreaded disease, or are they
like our physicians who take an
antidote to ward off the evils of
a plague before exposing them
selves to its deadly effects?
Some of us who have escaped
the disease and have not taken
the antidote have as little conf
dence in them as they have in US.
Either the people have become un-
fit and unsafe to longer govern
themselves or many of our legis-
lators have become imbued with
false and dangerous doctrines.
Some of the contemplated. laws
might be creditable in despot-
ism but they have no pace in a
free republic.

Whoever has hate for the raven

That strips the tree of its goodly
fruit,
Whoever knows wrath at the sight
of pain,
Of needless sorrow and needless
gain,
Whoever knows bitterness, shame
and gall
At the thought of the trampled
