The Cardinal Flower

BY B. S. E.
Ger the dark woodland pool Lobeha
hung
A burning spot amid world of
shade;
And the dim surface with her flames
she made
Kin to that sea the man of Patmos
sung,
Mingled with fire. Each brilliant
cloven tongue
Found a reflection; the undlstlngulsi1-
ed glade
Shown with a twofold brightness,
and each blade
And spire took beauty from the CLEAN
she flung.
Upon that sanguine bloom who still
may chance
Nor know some portion of their hrst
surprise
Who greeted it and sent it home to
France
To show what marvels grew beyond
the seas
Know too, that spite of silks and
precious dyes,
Richelieu was not arrayed like one OF
these?

LEAGUE SOLVES BIG PROBLEMS
Albania Accepts Councils Decision in
Controversy With JugO-Slavia

Geneva, Oct. 3.-Albania's appeal to
the Assembly OF the League OF Ma
tions in which this country alleged
that Jugo-Slavia was taking an ag-
gressive attitude against her, was dis
posed of by the assembly this morn
ing when it passed a resolution recon-
mending Albania to accept the decl-
sion of the Council of Ambassadors,
which is expected soon.
The Assembly decided to ask the
Council of the League to send COM
mission of three to Albania to see how
the decision Of the Ambassador coun-
ell was carried out.
The resolution recognized the indie
pendence of Albania, and was present
ed by Lord Robert Cecil, representing
the Union of South Africa.
The running sore of the Balkans
was one of the causes of the great
war" declared Lord Robert. We
have no right to leave questions such
as this unsettled. :,
Bishop Fan Noli, representing Al
bania here, announced that Albania
would accept the decision of the Coun-
Gil Of Ambassadors.

During the past month one daily
newspaper in about twenty different
cities created a nationwide sensation
by publishing an alleged exposure of
the Ku KluX Klan, which is a proteS-
tant society, organized to maintain
law and order and Anglo-SaXon civil
lization. 1t created such sensation
that the Rules Committee in Congress
held an investigation which fell flat
last Monday. After the High Wizard
Simond gave his testimony it became
apparent that the Rules Committee
had made jackasses of themselves.
The daily papers which published the
sensational "expose" of the Klan
gave little or nothing of the final
hearing. because their ghost story was
exploded.
if the Rules Committee does not
care to continue Jackass Americans
thev should investigate the Knights
of Columbus war fund In the World
War the Roman Hierarchy refused to
work with other social organizations,
demanded and got about thirty million
dollars for war work, much of which
was spent for cigarettes to the benefit
of the tobacco trust. A few millions
we're kept for special sectarian propa-
ganda which every one who reads
daily paper has had presented to them
the past three years.
The Y. NJ. C. A. returned in their re-
naming fund for American Legion
work. The X. C's. kept theirs for
sectarian propaganda.
The Rules Committee in Congress
should cease to be Papal puppets,
should learn the goth reason for the
Declaration of Independence, the first
resolution of the First Continental
Congress and the preamble to the
Articles of Confederation.

THE AUSTRALIAN SABBATH

A labor representative from the
United States to the Trade Union
! Congress of Australia and New Zea-
land, writing in the World says: 81
am greatly impressed with certain
labor conditions here, among them
the universal 48-hOur week. Saturday
afternoon closing of all business; the
same on Sundays; no theatres nor
amusements on Sundays, no street
cars on Sunday forenoons-all of these
from labor's demands"
In securing these improved condi-
tions labor honors itself. Australia is
a country where labor has made itself
felt for righteousness and uplift. The
people are English in their ancestry
and traditions; hence they stand for
the right observance of the Sabbath
day. Unfortunately in our country
labor has too often been under the
domination of men of foreign origin
and ideas, who have sought to i'm
pose on America the wide-open Con-
tinental Sunday. We could wish that
American labor might learn more
from Anglo Saxon Australia where
labor shows at its best, rather than
from Continental Europe where labor
represents ideas that are repugnant
to the genius of our own civilization.
If labor in this country desires the
full respect of our best Christian peo-
pie, it should join the forces that seek
to preserve the Christian Sabbath and
enforce all laws. We trust that the
genuinely American element of labor
will be able to overcome the demor
alizing foreign influences which are
constantly endeavoring to get control;
Let US cultivate the Australian and
not the Continental attitude toward
the Sabbath.-Arkansas Methodist.

October's Bright Blue Weather

O suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers Of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather;
When loud the bumblebee makes
haste,
Belated, thriftless, vagrant,
And goldenrod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are fragrant;
When gentians roll their fringes tight
To save them for the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
Without a sound of warning;
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewels shining,
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves of woodbine twining;
When all the lovely wayside things
Their white-winged seeds are SOW
ing,
And in the fields still green and fair,
Late aftermaths are growing;
When springs run low, and in the
brooks,
In idle golden freighting,
Bright leaves sink noiseless in the
hush
Of woods, for winter waiting;
When comrades seek sweet country
haunts
By twos and twos together,
And count like misers, hour by hour,
October's bright blue weather.
o sun and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boasts together.
Love loveth best of all the year
Octoher's BRIGHT blue weather.

The State Board of Taxes and As
sessments in communication sent to
the County Boards throughout the
state recently. gave intimation that
it will insist in the coming year upon
a full valuation of all property in the
County taxing districts. The com
munication called attention to the
state Board under the law to re-assess
taxing districts where there is any
evidence to show that favoritism or
discrimination has been practiced.
1T becomes the duty of the Board
to ascertain the adequacy Of assess
ments and, if the law has not been
complied with, to direct or make a., re-
assessment" said the letter. The
state Board feels that the control OF
original assessments is in the hands
Of the County Boards of Taxation
and if, when the books are turned over
on January 10, there appear Unequal
tiles or discrimination, such as come
within the intent of the act, re-as-
sessment will be ordered"

OCTOBER PARTY

October gave party;
The leaves by hundreds came
And Ashes, Oaks, and Naples,
And those of every name.
The sunshine spread carpet,
And everything was grand.
Miss weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The Oaks in crimson dressed;
The lovely Misses Maple
In scarlet looked their best,
And balanced all their partners,
And gayly fluttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
New fallen from the sky.
Then, in the rustic hollows,
At ''hide-and-seek' they played
The party closed at sundown,
And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder;
They flew along the ground;
And then the party ended
In jolly "hands around"

A. DTSGRACEFUL ENDING

After assisting the Allies in the
World War with noble patriotic pur-
poses and high ideals to implant Dem
oelacy in Central Europe after the
overthrow of autocracy, the l. S. Sen
ate refused to ratify the Versailles
Treaty made with the Allied powers,
through personal spite and infant
minded provincial Americanism. The
immense political power of the hyphen
Germans with their millions of votes
beside the ecclesiastical and money
power favorable to monarchy, against
the democracy was used to defeat it
md gain a partisan victory.
On Tuesday night the L. S. Sen
ate ratified the separate treaties made
with Germany, Austria and Hungary,
made by President Harding. The vote
was sc for to 20 against, eight more
than needed. Leading Democrats who
favored the Versailles Treaty voted
for it because they considered it the
only way of settling the international
question, after the partisan ending OF
the World War
It is the greatest and most humil-
iating fall this nation ever made IN
its diplomacy and is second only to the
defeat of Germany because of the COW
ardly desertion of the Allies and the
several small republics in Europe.
1t has proved self confession that
America has not brains enough, nor
back bone principles enough to meet
European diplomats to maintain the
principles the World War was fought
for
1t will take a generation to catch
up with Woodrow Wilson.

International bankers say the sud
den changes in price OF billions OF
paper money is the greatest hindrance
to international trade. 1t does not
matter how many marks, francs, lire,
or pounds an American dollar is
worth. The billions Of paper money
in many countries which had to be
issued to carry on the World War
are very unstable. The amount of
gold is comparatively small. A large
amount of metallic primary money IS
needed. 1t can be made only by Civ
ing silver free coinage at the mints

GoldenrOd

Over all the countryside,
From Michigan to Maine,
Once there were camptires
On hill and plain.
Once there were smoke-Wreaths
Where fields lie low,
And flame in the forests
That knew no ploW.
The red men built them;
Still there spills
The Autumn wrath of Wood-smoke
Upon blue hills.
And white men, strong men,
Laid them to rest
BY fires in the wilderness
From east to west.
Campfrcs, campfres,
From Maine to Oregon.
The ash of their burning
Is scattered and gone.
But where famed a campfire
And brave men trod,
Blooms In remembrance
The goldenrod.-Hilda Morris.
