membership, realizing the urgent ne
cessity for remedial legislation, ex-
anined the experiences which the
Wprkers' had passed through in their
political activities. The record was
strewn with the history of labor par
ties, which had become defunct, and
not only this, but it was found that
each failure to win political success.
through the launching of labor par
ties had resulted in a serious weak
ening of the trade union movement
itself, caused by the dissensions and
the dissa tisfaction which the partisan
political activities had created.
: They believed that the legislation
which was vitality required to protect
1abor's interests could be. secured
more readily and effectively through
non partisan political activity. That
they were sound in reaching these
conclusions is proven by the fact that
the legislation most vitality required
BY labor was not enacted until after
the A. F. of L. began to apply it's
MN partisan political methods.
Particularly since 1908, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor has met
with success, for, since that time,

gislative success has been due to the
non partisan political program which
has made measures and men instead
OF political parties the most import

ANCIENT MARINER 4 CLASSIC.
Famous Poem Remarkable for Its Pure
Simple English.

Not merely rs an incentive 20 hui
rnanity, but as an education in the Eng
lish language, everyone should read the
Ancient Mariner" not only once year,
but every month or two, says the Nomad
in the Boston Transcript Study, If you
please, the stanxas in that poem which are
written in words of one syllable, or near
To it, such as:
| closed my lids, and kept them closed
And the balls hike pulses beat;
For the sky and the sea, and the sea and
the sky
Lay like load on my weary eye,
And the dead were at my feet.
In that stanza there are al words and
l35 letters. or an average of less than 3 l5
letters to a word In the third line of the
stanza every word Is just three letters
long And yet there IS no affection of
monosyllableism in the poem. The poem
contains many words Of three syllables,
which are used when their Specification
and effect are needed. But the Ancient
Mariner" is remarkable not alone for the
lesson of pure and simple English which
II cony evs. Familiarity with II could not
but stimulate the mind and train il in the
conception of sirniles and j n general in
ventiveness 4 mind which delights in
this SURPRISING stanzs must be built UP
by il into the thought OF fine images Of its
own:
It ceased, yet still the sails made on
\ pleasant noise till noon
A noise like of hidden brook
In the leafy month of June.
That to the sleeping woods al night
Singeth quiet tune.
Why did he say "quiet" tune. and
why ii hidden" brook? There is ma
terial for thought in every word Every
person born 10 the use of the English
Language should know the Ancient
Mariner bv heart.

BEARS SEEDLESS APPLES.

Georgetown, May Frank P. Rogers,
a farmer of Upper Dagsboro district, re-
siding. at Piney Grove, four miles from
this city. has an apple tree that bears
seedless fruit. probably the only apple
tree of its kind in Delaware. The tree is
six years old and at present is full Of buds,
and the owner is expecting TO pick from
it about six baskets this fall, if storms do
not beat the fruit from the trees.
This remarkable tree bears red fruit of
uniform size and Is not unlike other va
rieties, save the blossoms are different in
that they do not put forth as other trees.
Instead of blooming out, tho buds merely
come forth while other varieties unfold.
The interior of the fruit is somewhat
like the orange. OF a stringy nature. There
is no core to be found and the fruit Is de-
void of seed and seed cells.
