The Lumberjack.
(Literarv Review. ]

Where is David Crockett of the axe and peavy? R. R. Fenska, Professor of Forest Engineering at the New York State College of Forestry, recalls him with sigh for his passing.
 He was the product of the pioneer lumber days said Prof. Fenska. Husky, brawny, easygoing, big hearted, and he could Rasse rum give twenty to a Dum' His loyalty the boss unsurpassed, although his living conditions were rough.
 Tn the spring, when logging ceased he and his winter roll easy victim of poker sharks, whis- key and vampires, and at the end of weeks spree he would have seek job the spring log drive the river doing it all again when he got another stake
 He originated in the East, reaching a great profuson in New York right after the Civil War and then, like the wild game, he crowded by the treating fringe the forest further and further into the wilderness of the West. He fourshed in the Lake States during the white pine days of the sos. The old-timers in the Adirondacks in Michigan, and Wisconsin still speak with great pride his daredevil feats in the woods the river. Many times he found fame in song in the bunkhouse dur ing the long winter nights, like the famous Paul Bunyan his mythical superman, whose exploits were always recited for the benefit the greenhorn just in camp:
 Paul Bunyan you have heard of Paul,
 He the king-pn of them all
 Re had a punch in either hand
 And licked more men and drove more miles, And got more drunk in more styles, Than any peavy-prince, before then since.
 When the white pines of the northern Lake States began to disappear of the old lumberjacks fol- lowed the boss down into the Southern pineres, liking and they soon drifted to the West, the last frontier. Here it game, for donkey engine, Hume, and overhead cable skiddng had replaced the horse, the sled-haul, and the annual spring drive
 While few of the typical lumberjacks still found in the West, like American buffalo, they are fast disappearing. When sing praises to the men who have developed natural resources the old American lumberjack should not be forgotten; he a good soldier in time of and hard working reliable horny-handed citizen in time of peace

NEW METHOD OF BREAKING SOLID
 SOUTH.

A Negro leader in New York, recently speaking through interview in New York newspaper says the Negroes of New York elsewhere accepting what they regard invitation from Republican leaders to quit voting the Republican ticket solidy account of their color. He points the speech of President Harding Birmingham in which he criticized the political alignment in those States where practically all white voters are members party and practically all the colored of another party and the campaign of Col. Anderson, nominee for Governor that State told the colored voters that he did their just because they colored He asked the Negroes to consider the issues the candidates the results sought and if they thought the Democratic ticket more nearly represented their views than he did he wanted thcm to vote the Democratic ticket. He made similar appeal to the white voters. The New York colored leader says colored people than white took Col Anderson at his words
 Col Anderson is quoted saying that he expected his attitude to result it did He believes for several years to come people will find and Negroe es voting the Democratic ticket without a correspond number of the white becoming Democrat bit, in the end, he says, it will result in breaking up the practically solid alignment of the white people of the South in the Democratic Party that we shall tn n see the South debaable ground in political contest
 The Negro leader referred to above says tlat ninety per cent of the Negroes in New York Ci y hre affiliated with Tammany and in the last ell ton voted the Democratic Ticket They were rewar l. ed by Tammany when it placed a colored lawyer ard editor on its Aldermanc ticket. The result is tn tbe only colored serve as a municip I lawmaker in New York is Tammany Democrat.

CONGRESS MEETS TODAY.

The session of Congress that begins today will lot of work do Its tasks have been reliev ed somewhat by the work that done in the special session, but there is much to be done Among the measures pending in addition to the appropriation bs are those dealing with the tariff the foreign debt owing to the United States the Federal Ship ping Board and shipping interests, the Panama Canal tolls, railroads, immigration matters that might grow of the Arms Conference the Alaskan policies and many other things It is the purpose of the leaders in the Senate and House of Representatives to com pete their work and to have Congress adjourn in June.
 The success of Congress in meeting these problems will depend largely upon how closely it follows the lead of the Administration. There many blocs i'll Congress- whose allegiance is sectional some thing that is nationwide in it's application that it has been seemingly impossible to develop satis- factory cooperation and leadership there, and to bring there must be cooperation and leader ship This should be provided by the President and Senators and Representatives will do well if they disregard talk of executive ursurpation of legislative powers and accept the President leader The most effective Congresses have been those which have fol- lowed the advice and granted the requests of the President,

''It Must Not Be Again"
(Cincinnati EnQuirer.)

Will the Christmas festival of 1921 be distinguish ed above all preceding celebrations of that event Within six weeks shall the world hear that the tions have agreed to accept the simple a-inclusive principle, Peace earth, good will to men,, the guiding, controlling law of human conduct and re- latonships?
 For nearly twenty centuries men have indulged in the red game of slaughter The Crusaders buried the chivalry of Europe in the desert tOmbs of the East In the of God succeeding Kings and Emperors have wrought death, ruin, desoaton in the further ance of impious greeds and unholy ambitions For two thousand years of the called Christian the tramp of armed legions has shaken the earth. War has been exalted. In the name of Mooch hay e raved and ravaged through the world.
 Tt must not be again. So declared President Harding above the bodies of slain heroes. Again at Arlington, and yet again the opening of the great conference at the capital he reiterated this stern high admonition to the representatives of civilization. k To these representative of the Powers as- sembled the capital of the worlds greatest democ racy is offered under the leadership of America the Opportunity to become the executives of the Prince of Peace, the opportunity to mmortaze this day the opportunity to write their higher than the names of all the Aexanders, Caesars, Charlemagnes Atlas and their ilk, who rode their steeds the bodies of countless slaughtered dead the oppor tunity to herald the dawn of the coming Christmas Morn with the old, song of love and good will first proclaimed by the simple sheperds the plains of Bethlehem
 F To this consummation America has pledged her heart, mind, soul and strength. Through President Harding and Secretary Hughes the nation has pro- claimed it's fidelity to the cause of peace As chief of enlightened and progressive millions the American fensble accessories He challenges all sordid diplo- macies dees all selfishness and in the of pity hope, mercy and love declares of human conflict: Tt must not be again!'

ARTICLES ON MARRIAGE AND
 LOVE APPEAR
Japanese Showing Signs of Modern Tendencies of a
 Newer Mentality.

TOKYO, Dec. 5.-A series of ar ticles on love and marriage is ap- bearing in Japanese newspapers and magazines, as a sign of the modern tendencies of the new Japanese men tality Professors in psychology, school teachers and writers of note are prominent in this discussion of the reforming of the old matrimonial system, all advocating more freedom for personal choice.
 According to the old custom, the parents chose bride and bridegroom and the marriage was performed without the interested parties having known each other. Marriage was considered a duty towards country and family. the religion of ances- tor worship being it's principle. The young couples lived with the parents and the bride owed complete obed- fence to her mother-in
 The custom is now prevalent for the young people to meet long before the marriage takes place so that they may know each other, and to live apart from the family is no longer considered undutiful Yet, of late, the tendency appeared to mar ry for loves sake and out of per sonal choice This new and roman tic ideal is so strong that all means are tried to obtain it, entailing opponents, suicides, notorious fam fly dissensions. Hence the discus sion for greater liberty and more so cial life which are quite opposed to the old social system of Confucius that men and women should keaQ apart and marry for duty's sake an ] not for love.
