HEAVEN ON EARTH.
Here's the time OF mirth and laughter
Not in some far-off hereafter;
Here's the land of smiling faces,
Not in strange and distant places.
Which perhaps we'll see tomorrow
In world where there's no SORROW
Here's the land where men are biest
And where they achieve their best.
Think you, when yos've passed death'i
portals
To the realm of the immortnIs,
Tint your soul shall wake to giadness
If in life IL found but sadness:
If it saw on earth beauty,
But went blindly to its duty,
Missing all that makes life fair,
VIII it see the glory there:
Here is Heaven in the making
Despite hearts that may be aching,
And the cares that men are bearing
As the roads of life they're fnring:
Here the JOY and merry laughter
And the peace We want hereaftpr-
We must learn to know them here,
Not in some celestial sphere
Rise above your cares and sorrowsi
Build on earth your glad tomorrows,
Do not wait until life closes
Ere you stop to gather roses:
Here. amid life's round of duty,
Find its gladness and its beauty
Fit your soul for what awaits
When at last Heaven swings its gates

ITs WHAT WE SAVE.

There is hardly a day but that
something slips from each one of US
that we had hoped to hold
But even the wisest folks that ever
lived never were able to keep every
thing. It's what we save and make
a part of our experience that counts
in the sum OF our happiness and our
worth.
People do not disintegrate and die.
for people represent ideas-and ideas
live foreveri
Days come and go In the most mat
ter OF fact way-but it's what we save
from them and bank in our securest

BIT MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
young men and would like to form a
good. clean outdoor club for camp
ing trips in the summer.
We would like to have d club for
girls and young men. and as we have
lived here but two years We have, only
Il few friends. Kindly advise US AZ to
how We can arrange this with sue
cess. Would II be proper to advertise
for members? We would like to have
about thirty members.
HAROLD AND JAMES.
Your idea is splendid and can be OF
great civic service. You might call
your club a hiking or outing club.
Have meetings twice month, the
first and third Saturdays. Send a
notice to the. society editor of the
paper announcing the starting point
and the hour. Also state that any
one Interested in hiking and. outdoor
sports Is cordially invited. At first
your crowds will not be large. but
gradually the number of members will
increase. You might also have q
notice OF your meeting read in the
various churches, inviting the menu
bers to attend.

I'VE all know that there Is a two
thirds majority in the senate favor
able to the peace treaty and to the
league principles" says the Grand
Rapids Press. "and that the differ
ences are mainly as to details. and we
cannot be patient much longer with
a body that cannot disentangle itself
from a snarl of language" But 1t
may well be doubted that the failure
to ratify the treaty is due to a "snarl
of language" What seems the more
likely cause is determination of
party leaders not to agree to anything
that will remove the treaty from pol
tiles into which they have forced il.
Apparently neither side wants a rati-
fication which does not carry with It
the absolute surrender of the other,

Since President Wilson has declared
in ( or OF taking the peace treaty to
the peoples it may be confidently ex-
pected that the Republican senate will
ratify the pact at an early date, If it
become convinced that Mr.. Wilson is
in earnest about it. Republicans have
everything to lose and nothing to gain
by letting the treaty go to a popular
vote. The people are overwhelmingly
for the treaty as 1t stands, rather than
none

HANDING BACK THE ROADS.

The house ana senate scOnIeTeeS on
the railroad bills have agreed upon
six months as the length of time that
the government guaranty of earnings
shall last after return of the roads to
their owners. If the roads shall go
back clothed with the right to earn
an adequate return on their business,
1t is improbable that the government
will be called upon to pay deficits for
more than a month or two. if at all.
There still are other important
points on which the two houses of
congress are in disagreement. One of
these is the anti-strike clause in the
Cummins bill. Aside from the purely
commercial interest of the nation in
unbroken- railroad transportation,
there is the fundamentally more i'm
portant consideration that a strike is
an unjust means of settling dispute.
In an enterprise so vitality important
as transportation. strike is nothing
more nor less than application of
force. 1t is entirely within the truth
to say that In 1915 the four brother
hoods held a pistol to the head of con-
gress and commanded enactment of
desired legislation. More effective in
limitation could not be devised than
the threat to interrupt transportation
of supplies, thus stopping all the
wheels of industry and bringing suf-
fering. starvation and death to inhab-
itants of cities.
Another point of disagreement is
that of the return to be allowed the
railroads. The Esch bill, which was
passed by the house, provides that the
interstate commerce commission fix
rates yielding "a fair return upon the
value of the property" but does not
attempt to fix figure. The Cummins
bill in the senate fixes the fair return
at 51z per cent, the commission being
authorized to increase this to per
cent, the additional half per cent to
be used for "non-productive" improve
ments.
Large deficits from operations
like those suffered by the government
confront nearly all the railroad
companies unless freight rates shall
be further increased substantially.
The practical and only effective meth
cd of making such increases. it is de-
clared by r. S. Lovett, chairman of
the Union Pacific system, is to take
the rates as they exist and base upon
them such increases and adjustments
as may be necessary to meet the in
creased wages of labor, the increased
cost of material and other operating
expenses and taxes, AMI provide a re-
turn on the new capital t,iat has been
put into the properties and which
must be provided for the future.
The commission, he,holds, should be
left free to consider new rates from
time to time. SO as to adjust the reve-
nue. to the changing expense of oper-
alton, the rise and fall Of wages and
prices. and the expenditure for new
capital. So far as it becomes neces-
sary to consider the value of the rail-
roads; the average earnings during a
series of years. taking into account
the conditions then existing. plus a fair
return on the new capital expended
for betterments, additions, equip
ment and extensions. he says. is eco
nomically and in sound common sense
the rule that ought to be followed.

Europe has stopped buying Ameri-
can pork, Senator Capper says. and IT
is his judgment that some arrange
ment should be made to extend credit
to the people across the sea that they
may be enabled to take the fats which
they need and that the stockmen and
farmers of the United States may not
be forced out of business. Besides, he
advocates as a further remedy, the
reduction of ocean-carrying charges,
thus making easy in every way the I'M
loading of the vast accumulation of
meats which the American people can
not use. But has 1t occurred to the
senator that the American people
could use much more meat than they
now are using if they could buy it at
a. price which they can afford 20 pay =?
And at that they probably are better
able to afford meat at present prices
than are the people of Europe. 1t
appears to be considered the proper
thing to look out for the European
consumer and the American producer
but to give no consideration to the
American consumer. The people OF
the cities must live as well as those in
the country and in Europe.
