MY TRIBUTE

Within my heart sweet strains I hear, Mother mine, oh, Mother mine; Your accents low and sweet and clear, Mother mine, oh Mother mine; The prayers you said, the songs you
 sung,
 The tales you told when I was young Inspire my life, my heart, my tongue Mother mine, oh, Mother mine. The sterner virtues that you taught, Father mine, oh Father mine; The yict'ries won-the battle fought, Father mine, oh, Father mine. Your courage gave and made me
 strong,
 To shield the weak, put down the
 wrong
 To upward lead the eager throng, Father mine, oh, Father mine. When knowledge came with treasure
 rare,
 Teacher mine, or Teacher mine; You taught me how the boon to share, Teacher mine, oh, Teacher mine; You led me on in wisdom's ways Through pleasant paths and tangled
 maze
 You cleared the way, dispelled the
 haze,
 Teacher mine oh, Teacher mine. The home the school, the church
 combine
 Mother, Father, Teacher mine, To touch the soul with life divine, Mother, Father Teacher mine; Oh grant us this--our hearts desire, To fill our souls With living fire, Till each shall others lives inspire Mother, Father. Teacher mine.

FATHER WAS SAFE

Two men got into a fight in front of the bank today" said a man at the family tea-table, "and I tell you it looked pretty bad for one of them. The bigger one seized a huge stick and brandished it. I felt that he was going to knock the others brains out and I jumped in between them"
 The family had listened with rapt attention, and as he paused in his mar rative the young heir, whose respect for his fathers bravery is immeas- urable, proudly remarked:
 He couldn't knock any brains out of you, could he, father? ?"-Boston Post.

REGULATING BUsINEss

Edgar S. Clark, chairman Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, In q
recent address said that what was
needed at the present time was an
application OF honest principles and
a regard for sound methods essen
tial to private business. tThe pub
lie utility has devoted itself to the
service Of the public" he continued,
IL has accepted the grant OF unusual
powers which could be accorded only
by the state. The definition which
recognizes the rights conferred on
the utility and the propriety of reg
ulating 1t does not at all warrant the
conclusion that It's affairs can be
successfully conducted with a dis
regard to those sound methods that
are essential In private business. In
these matters the important thing
10 that those who own, manage. and
operate the public utility, those who
legislate regarding it, and those who
are charged with the duty OF regulat-
ing It and who are served by il
should appreciate that in the conduct
regulation, or use OF 1t none but hon
est business principles and methods
should be considered or applied"

OIL INDUSTRY MEETS DEMANDS

Recently the Western Petroleum
Refiners' Association adopted resolu-
tions calling attention to the fact
that lin spite of all alleged dangers
of shortage of petroleum during the
past 25 years, the industry has never
failed tp meet the situation, and with
out exception it has in every instance
emerged from each situation with a
surplus of stocks, so that today with
a consumption undreamed Of 10 years
ago, and at the end of destructive
war we have ample supply to meet all
demands. 1t is a great mistake on
the part of consumers to believe the
stories published that oil is becoming
exhausted and that there is cause to
hesitate regarding the introduction
OF oil consuming equipment
While applying particularly to mid
continental conditions, California has
emerged from each period OF oil strig-
ency with sufficient supplies to meet
tall legitimate demands, Legitimate"

THE TREE AND IRIS FRUITS

Unreasonable exactions forced the
invention Of the one-man street car,
cutting thousands of m0tormen out
of a living.
Wartime wage demands Of building
trades forced the invention of ready
cut machine made dwellings, shipped
ready to set up.
Strikes of long-shormen acceler-
ate machinery for loading and unload
ing ships, and seaman's union die
tatlons force 3-man power ships.
The S6 and 4b hour week and con-
slant demand for even higher than
war wages are killing newspapers
and abolishing use Of Job printing.
The multiplication of unreason-
able demands puts a premium ON the
inventive genius Of nation natur-
ally inclined to inventions.
The tree OF professional profiteer-
ing bears its fruit In rendering mil
lions idle who at fair wages would
be employed.

THE MINING SITUATION

The cessation Of copper production
Is now practically complete. The
wonder is that production was kept
up for such long period against a
falling market and greatly increased
costs, including supplies and wages,
at every turn.
The situation is one which could
only be aggravated by further delay,
so that the shutdown, while it i'm
poses q temporary hardship upon the
industry, is the only effective means
of fastening the time when copper
properties may be operated upon a
paying basis. Operation at a loss
could not continue indefinitely.
Jupst how much industrial unrest
has been avoided by the policy for a
little more than half that amount,
rather than force lower wage upon
the worker, is hard to say. The econ
omic situation which has forced a
shutdown will bring home to the
worker the necessity which faces the
operator of lowering labor cost be-
fore production can be continued.
Silver, lead and gold mining are
taking on new life and the Pittman
act which is encouraging the Ameri-
can silver miner at not a penny's cost
to the taxpayer has really been life
saver for the western metal mines.
It has enabled many mines to operate
on account OF sales Of silfer taken
from their other ores. Thus thous-
ands of worlrmen have had employ
ment who would otherwise have been
idle. Measure of similar character
are being considered to encourage
gold production.

SAFETY FIRST FOR CHILDREN
Many Requirements Furnish Variety
Of Topics for Essays and Oral
Discussion.

prepared by the United States Depart
mont of Agriculture)
The many requirements for safety
Will furnish variety of topics for
school children's essays and oral dis
cussion. The dangers Of railroad
crossings at grade, the economic JUS
LITIGATION for abolIshing them, the I'M
portance Of an unobstructed view up
and down the track as a vehicle
approaches, and the disadvantage of
sharp turns. etc., are suggestive
subjects. Similarly there might also
be mentioned the questions raised by
street intersections and turns. In
every town there are many crossings
where the autOist's view is unnec-
essariiy limited by fences, shrubbery,
or buildings; or where sharp curves
with limited visibility invite serious
accidents. Guideposts, markers, and
other signs for the most efficient guild
ance Of traffic through thickly settled
communities also are part of the
bigger and more inclusive topics of
the economic Importance Of safety and
guidance-the actual money value of
human life and of accident prevention.
Another question, In solving which
tho engineer and economist will need
the help OF enlightened public opinion
(and this enlightenment should start
In the public schooIsl, Is that OF the
relation OF the public highways to
railroads and canals. The advantage
Of long hauls by rail and short hauls
By motor truck; feeding into main
terminal points by radiating systems
Of highways; division of the trans
portatiOn burden by parallel systems
OF water, rail, and road transporta-
ton, are some Of the subdivisions of
this general heading.
This listing OF topics is not intended
to be complete or exact, but merely
suggestive. Those which refer to con-
structiOn could best be utilized when

the vicinity OF school. Many OF the
other topics may be studied from
maps, of which the students might be
required to make tracings or free-hand
sketches showing the particular
features for which emphasis Is desired,
or regarding which the exercise is
being written. State highway depart
ments often feel the need of a better
popular understanding Of the problems
OF road construction. and their officials
would doubtless cooperate in hearty
manner. Looking ahead, It Is easy to

TAXES AND POLITICS.

Apparently the new tax bill is not
going TO come out of the senate in as
good shape as the intelligent sentiment
of the country had hoped. No decisive
change in the method of raising money
for the government is involved in the
present program and such alterations
as are contemplated in the existing
law. so roundly denounced by the very
men responsible for it's successor
seem to have been dictated more by
a desire TO please blocks of voters
than by any courageous and thought
full determination To stimulate the
country's business, correct unemploy-
ment tendencies and relieve the aver
age taxpayer. IL there is any real
