I hear the sound OF feet
Beat time with martial tread;
Armies throng road and street,
BY high-born purpose led.
No crusaders Of time
Outrank this valiant throng,
And no heroes in rhyme
Command a filter song.
Their flag in conquest flies
Their faces are firmly set:
And every soldier deties
Hardships in the march met.
Come give three rousing cheers
To army in our gates:

In The DAYS News.

Bishop John w. Hamilton, who heads
the American delegation to the Ecum-
enical conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church opening in London today,
has the distinction of having partici-
pated in four of these world gatherings
of Methodists, which are held once in
every ten years. Bishop Hamilton is a
native of Virginia and is now in his
seventy-seventh year. Since his retire
ment from the active episcopate he has
filed the CHARACTERISTIC OF the Ameri-
can university, in Washington, DC. His
career in the church covers a period of
more than half a century. At the age
of - he was graduated from Mt. Union
college and the same yea- was licensed
to preach In 1900 he was elevated to
the bishopric, after having filed pas
its vicinity.

The final outcome of the West Nir-
ginia troubles is of interest to the whole
nation President Harding was obliged
to take the first step toward the establish
ment. of martial law in the state issuing
proclamation requiring all persons
engaged in unlawful and insurrectionary
proceedings to dispense and retire peace
ably ID their respective abodes' by a
given hour on a specified day. At the
same time President Lewis of the United
Mine Workers sent a high union official
to the field of disorder to urge the miners
to return quietly to their homes. He also
disclaims. for the organization, all re
sponsibility in the Mingo civil wars.
Interference of the federal government
will, of course. restore peace of some sort
to that strife-torn region. Whether or
not it will be real peace depends upon
many things. Reports of such papers as
the New York World that the mining
population of Logan and AIingo counties
lives under a virtual industrial autoc-
racy. abused and cowed by partisan of
ficials and hired detectives, indicate that
more is necessary to the restoration of
peace than the disbandment by military
authority of the rebellious miners.
If it is true, as alleged, that local off
Gals are too frequently under the thumbs
of mine operators. that the mining popu-
lation is denied its constitutional rights
of free speech and assembly. and that ter
rorization has been used as a weapon
against them, it is indeed high time that
an impartial government should slit out
the facts and insure the enforcement of
constitutional guarantees.
The state and local officials have failed.
Uncle Sam has been compelled to WELD
his club to restore at least surface order.
There will be only temporary and unsat-
isfactory peace if this is all that is done.
The whole country should demand that
justice and fair play be restored and al
lowed to do some of their healing work.
1t is the only way to prevent future dis
orders of the same sort, and it is the only
way to wipe out the shame of the present
situation.

Daniel L. Cady the Vermont poet, who
has just returned from an extensive Eu-
ropean trip. says in account of his travels
that Switzerland. whose prayer has al
ways been, Give us this day our daily
stranger" has bitten off her own tourist
nose by raising prices in conformity with
those countries that fought the war, al
though her money is and has been right
along at par. Tourists do not feel much
saddened to see hundreds of Swiss hotels
closed or half open because of lack of
trade Charging a little bit more than
erang.

RESISTING WAGE CUTS.

Accept wage reductions only where
they are inevitable and fight them
whether inevitable or not, is the advice
which Samuel Gompers gave to organized
labor at a convention at Atlantic City
Mr.. Gompers elaborated as follows:
Wherever a wage reduction has been
accepted by employees it has been followed
by another and then another We have
called upon the men of labor of America
to resist wage reductions.
Let me say in all candor to you that
we cannot in the present state of organi-
cation, or even at the highest peak of or
ganization, successfully resist every of
fer of reduction of wages, but it is bet
ter to lose or compromise than not to re-
sist at all, because if you don't resist you
encourage the employer to the idea that
you can't and won't resist.
There is reason back of Mr.. Gompers'
counsel. He is old in wage disputes.
But it is 3 pity that all such counsel
seems based SO persistently upon the one
idea that employer and employees inevi-
tably are enemies and that they can
never meet in open and friendly conf
dence.
1t is true that many employers win
take advantage Of compliant labor. On
the other hand there are employers in
their ranks are increas-
are fairness itself in their re-
lations with those who serve them.
These men suffer undeseryed loss, as do
the workers in their employ, because la
Dor is taught consistently that it is hope
less to look for fairness in the employing
group.
\ practical unionism should devise
