JUST FOLKS
By EDGAR A. GUEST

THE JOYS THAT GOT AWAY.
This life is like a fishin' trip,
or so it~seems to me;
Beside a stream we sit and dream
And hope for joys to be,
OF varying sizes are the fish
We've caught at close of day,
But though their meat was good TO
eat,
The best ones got away
A goodly string Of fish I've caught
To more than I'LL the pan.
But always I have passed them by
Just like my fellow man
And overlooked the meal they meant
This sorry line to say:
Il should be glad If I but had
The ones that got away"
I've caught full many a Joy in life,
Ny string Of smiles is long.
I've had my share Of weather fair
And happiness and song
The years have kindly dealt with me
And oft have let me play,
But still I've thought I should have
caught
The joy that got away.
Teach me 10 value what I win,
Nor sigh for what I miss.
And let me smile and count worth
while
Ny present store Of bliss:
At last when homeward I shall turn
I'd not deplore or grumble Ger
The joys that got away.

lombard ALIENS COURT

Topeka, Kan, March 5.-A steady
bombardment of Governor Aliens
"cant-strike" court is maintained
by the State Federation of Labor
which takes every opportunity to
expose its savagery against the
workers and its tenderness toward
business.
A few weeks ago unorganized
flour mill employees imagined that
the governor would give them re-
dress because they were unemploy-
ed. The court was assembled, the
flour millers were cited to appear
and the upshot of the findings was
that the public health was not en-
dangered as there is sufficient flour
on hand to supply the people.
Recently the miners called a
strike against the Mackie Fuel Com
pany to force this concern to pay
wages to a 19-year-old boy who
is the sole support of a widowed
mother. There were less workers
involved than in the case of the idle
flour mill workers, and there is an
abundance of coal awaiting buyers.
But the Allen court delivered one
of it's pronunciamentos after an in
junction was issued against miners
officials for calling the strike.
Trade unionists are asking why
is it necessary to resort to injunc-
lions if the industrial court can
stop strikes, and if it can't stop
strikes, why does it exist.

I. Jennings explained the new coun-
ty library law which is to come
up at this session of the legisla-
ture. This gave the matter wide
publicity throughout the county as
MIR. jennings talk as we'll as those
of Mr.. VIM f. Henry and Mr..
Herbert Killam were quite fully re-
ported in the local papers.
Chldren's Book Week was cele-
brated by an attractive display at
the library of suggested books for
Christmas buying Miss Croker,
of the Library staff, visited the
book stores in Everett, the Chill
dren's Book shop at Frederick and
Nelson's and The Bon Marchc and
addressed the Parent-Teachers AS
ISOLATION at the Lincoln School on
christmas Books Worth Buying. "
The Pilgrim Precautionary day
was celebrated by a story hour at
the library when two Pilgrim stor-
les were told by Mrs. |. p. Hewitt.
SO large number of children re
sponded that many were turned
away as the auditorium was so full
that no more could hear the stories.
1t is to be hoped that with the in
crease in the library's book re
sources the story hour may be con-
tinued as part of the regular
library activities.
The library is now giving iRstruc-
ton in how to use the library to
all of the Eighth grades in the city
schools. The librarian has gone
to each school and given a library
lesson to every Eighth A and to
some of the Eighth B grades. The
classes are then brought to the
library for two periods of two hours
each the first time for a problem
in how to find books on the shelves
and the second for a reference prob
lem involving the use of the maya
zines and their indexes.
Several copies, each of care
fully selected reading list of books
for boys and girls from the Third
to the Eighth grades is being pur-
chased for our work with the school
children. In ordes to make this
possible as well as the purchase of
needed material for little children
and for adults, the Library Board
decided that the amount which had
been carried in the 1920 Budget for
extension service in the form of
book wagon and an additional staff
member for the work with schools
and children must go for books
without which this extension ser
vice is impossible.
. | wish to express my apprecia-
ton of Mrs. Hewitt's work in
charge of the story hour and of
the cooperation of the Eighth grade
Principals and Teachers in the Ii
brary work with the schools. With
cut the help Of the teachers who
have come with the classes to the
library it would have been impossi-
BILE with our small staff to have
given the lessons to SO large a
number of boys and girls.
| wish to thank the Library Board
for their helpful and active support
and the Library Staff for its loyal
spirit of service.

PRETENSE CAST OFF
BY ANTI-UNIONISTS

Washington, March 5. - "Reac-
tionary employers have joined their
might in a campaign which they
are pelased to call a campaign for
the open shop which they have
been waging vigorously since the
signing of the armistice," declared
the Conference of Trade Union Rep
resentatives, held in this city Feb
ruary 30
compelled by the pressure of
public opinion to accept labor's CO.
operation during the war, when the
utmost conservation of productive
energy was necessary to the life of
the nation, they cast off all pre-
tense Immediately upon the passing
of the emergency.
This entire campaign on the part
of the combined reactionary en-
ployerS is in no sense a campaign
for the open shop no matter what
definition may be given to that
term. The campaign is distinctly
and solely one for shop that shall
be closed against union workmen.
1t is primarily campaign dis
guished under the name of an open
shop campaign, designed to destroy
trade unions and to break down
and eliminate the whole principle
of collective bargaining, which has
for years been accepted by the high
est industrial authorities and by the
American people as principles based
upon justice, and established per-
manently in our industrial life.
"Not only during the war, but
during every year since the labor
movement has had a place in our
industrial life, it has justified its
existence and proved the necessity
therefor, by making possible the
necessary cooperation between en-
ployers and workers on the one
hand, and on the other hand by res
cuing the workers from autocratic
domination mad developing for them
a standard of living and of work
ing conditions fitting to American
citizenship. The American Trade
Union movement is here because it
is a necessity"

MOONEY PROSECUTORS
ARE BEING ENGULFED

San Francisco, March 5.-"Dun-
can Matheson, captain of detectives,
and Charles Golf, captain of police,
now stand practically alone among
the police officers who were init
mately concerned in the arrest and
conviction of Warren Billings and
Thomas Mooney" says the San
Francisco Call.
"They cling stubbornly as ever to
the old tumbling story Of the guilt
of these two men. Little by little
the Draper Hands and Richard
Smiths tell the true facts of the
case, the perjury of the Oxmans and
other witnesses is brought into the
light and witnesses like John C.
Lawlor, who saw the Moneys on
the roof of the Eilers Building,
bare the methods used in those
trials to twist their testimony to fit
the preconceived program of the
prosecution.
when John Mcdonald, the man
who Identified Mooney and Billings,
returns to San Francisco to admit
that he testified falsely, Captains
Matheson and Golf merely say that
if he is speaking the truth they will
do their best to see that he is in
dicted for perjury. They do not say
that if this is true then all the
elaborate fabrication of evidence
against Mooney and Billings has
fallen to pieces and that these two
men should not be in prison. In
their own minds, however, they
must be convinced of this.
"They must see, of course, that
there is direct connection between
the perjury of witness and the
weakness of a conviction. They
must realize the terrible inconSst-
ency of sending an Oxman or a
Mcdonald to the same prison where
Mooney and Billings are confined
while at the same time they per-
sistently deny that the two men al
ready in prison were unjustly con-
victed. And yet they have never
admitted these uncomfortable con-
clusions."
