BY Edgar A. Guest
THE CALL OF THE FLAG.


When the war broke out, tho Old Flas
said,
"Comc along with me where the fields nre
rcd,"
And the young men turned at the first
alarm.
From the city desk and tho rural farm,
And offered their lives Mt the battle call,
For they held their country first Of all.
1t was war back then, il was cannon fire
And the rattle of guns and the tangled
wire,
And the new-made graves But tho young
hearts knew
That the Flag would live il they were true
And they pledged their lives that it
should not fall,
For they held their country first Of all.
Now the worlds at peace, and the Old
To the breeze once more under happy
skies,
And it calls TO us all: "Tbere is work to do,
l need you now to be strong and true,
In the tasks ahead there's no battle thrill,
But l need the strength of my people
STILL"
s'You need not suffer nor bleed nor die,
In the days Of peace, to hold me high;
Just keep the faith though ON land or sea,
And heed no voice that would SANDER me;
And teach this thing TO your children
small;
They must love their country first Of all. .

In his very interesting and practical
dissertation upon the incapacity and IN
efficiency of our methods of government,
Secretary of the Interior Lane expressed
regret that Congress failed TO carry out
his recommendation that large bodies of
unused land be reclaimed and disposed Of
to returned soldiers About 10000 SOL
diers. he said. have signihed desire TO
secure farms under the plan he suggested,
but Congress refrains from opening TO them
this door of opportunity. And this, too,
in the face of alarming indications Of q
reduction in food crops this year through
the retirement OF many farmers from the
business.
But Secretary Lane should not be
surprised. 1t is not the purpose of this
do-nothing Republican Congress TO legis-
late for the benefit OF the returned soldiers
or for any other public interest. 1t Is
concerned only in making political capt.
tai for the Republican party. That is its
chief stock in trade and viii be until after
the election.

Legal Contests in Prospect.

Very interesting is the prospect of the
future in respect of the operations of the
Federal Prohibition Enforcement act,
which allows commerce in no kind OF
beverage liquors containing more than
one-half of one per cent OF alcoholic con-
tent Rhode Island is fighting for 2.75
per cent beer. New Jersey has enacted a
law authorizing the manufacture Of liquors
with $50 per cent alcoholic content, and
a Federal judge in Wisconsin has held to
be legal the sale of $50 beer in that
State, declaring certain parts Of the Vol
stead Enforcement act unconstitutional,
This situation means legal contests
galore in State and Federal courts, and
finally in the Supreme Court of the United
States. Evidently, the agitat' on over
national prohibition is to continue for a
long whfle. But it is hoped it will not be
forgotten that the law will point the way
10 the determination of all these disputes
without resort to violence.

Work and Economy.

Daniel Willard, president of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Co., issued an
address to the employees of the road, as an
appropriate beginning of the new regime
consequent upon the return of the rail-
roads by the general government to former
ownership and control. Mr.. Willard
congratulated the employees upon this re-
turn TO former conditions, and urgently
requested of them their hearticst CO.
operation in the great work Of making
railroad operation practical benefit to
the owners and employees of the railroads
and valuable service to the people.
One portion of President Willard
address touched upon a subject OF the
utmost importance-the necessity OF
honest labor and economy in operation.
First Of ALL" he said, ut is the I'M
questioned duty of every man who re-
ceives wages from another for service per-
formed to give fair and honest day s
work for a fair and honest days wage.
To give less than that would be dishonest
and unfair. Second, great deal can be
done towards reducing the cost of trans
portation by more careful and economi-
cal use of the materials which are con-
sumed in such enormous quantities by
the railroad At present prices it costs the
Baltimore and Ohio Co. approximately
$4,000, 900 per yearior the coal burned by
its locomotives, and if only one scoop full
of coal in every twenty could be saved mot
an impossible thing to do, it would result
in an actual saving of more than s70O, 900
per year"
These are two very important and
practical recommendations. 1t should not
be necessary TO impress every worker IN
the country, railroad or otherwise, with
the necessity for work, all the time. The
great demand of the world is for produc-
ton. and production can only be supplied
by labor.
President Willard also has given
object-lesson in the practical
value of economy Who can doubt that
in the daily operation of railroad IT is
easily possible TO save at least one scoop
full Of coal in every twenty? This much
might be done by care in loading tenders,
so that they shall not be so piled up that
several scoopfuls of coal will drop of on
each occasion and be lost. Yet the little
saving mentioned by Mr.. Willard would
AMOUNT to 100000 in the course of a
rear.
Work and economy. Production ana
aving. Here are the two great essen
ials of the day, plainly and practically
ct before labor. What great results would
.ttend cordial cooperation on these lines.

Any predictions being made at

WOMEN HAVE PART IN
COMMITTEE MEETING

Chicago. June 5.-Women sat in
the deliberations of the republican
national committee today, taking
part for the first time in making
convention decisions. They sat
holding proxies of the national
committeeman from their home
states and were Mrs. S. S. Beggs
of Kansas; Vennona Swan of Mis-
souri, and Mrs. j. s. Beasley of Ten
nessee.
Apparently taking a hearty in
terest in their new found privilege
the women sat placidly in the
clouds of tobacco smoke. closely
following the arguments and vot-
ing on the decisions.
