o pure and cool rise crystal springs

ing drink for. human lips, and balm
for human ills. But strained and
cursed by careless use, the waters Of
the plain creep onward in a tainted
flood, slow moving to the main. My
life is like stream that slips through
green and pleasant land; fair are the
trees and flowers that crown the
banks on either hand. Yet, fed by
fountains that are meant to comfort
and to bless, the sluggish pools are
choked with weeds and dark with
selfishness. o cleansing flood Of
God sweep through this stagnant
soul of mine, release the sediments
of sin, replace my thoughts with
thine. Break down the barriers old
and strong, set all the channel free.

life that flows from thee. So may

mighty forces know. that swelled

The pouahnut

The doughnut is composed of the toothsome sub
stance: the hole is no part of it than all
the surrounding space Therefore we are wisely told
to disregard the hole in contemplation of the
doughnut and consider only the surrounding, edible
periphery.
Much depends upon what we look at. II is from
that that we get impressions and it is from
impressions that we receive impulses.
salesman for an Indiana firm engaged in the
manufacture of kitchen cabinets returned empty of
order book from neghborng town, but he was laden
with statistics about unemployment. The men to
whom he expected to sell kitchen cabinets had
put in their time and consumed his by giving him
figures OF the number of out OF work. In his
visit he had had opportunity to gaze upon nothing
but the hole in the doughnut.
The salesmanager told the salesman that there
must be some other kind of in that town than
news of unemployment and sent back to conduct
investigation.
The salesman, who evidently not a dumb
bell but the temporary victim Of improper influences
took the hint and went back. He did not bother
himself with figures about unemployment but began
collecting statistics concerning the men employed.
Then he went to the dealers and laid his figures
before them. He showed them that there
large number of men at work earning money to pay
for the things they needed, among them, kitchen
cabinets. Thus he attracted their from the hole
to the doughnut itself and they gave him orders for
kitchen cabinets.

Mr.. Bryan for Genoa

If Mr.. Bryan desires that the United States may
be represented the Geona conference by adviser
without power to bind this country to any of the
conclusions that may be reached there why does he
not sail at once? He is our champion adviser hold
ing the record for all distances and weights For
generation he has done nothing else than advise
his advice has kept the country in less of
turmoil.
If he wants to go to Genoa have no doubt
the state department will keep open after hours to
make out his passport but better be careful or
he win find out that it is only one-way passport,
with provision for his departure from Genoa at
the end of the conference.
We have doubt that Mr. Bryan has in his
mind plan for composing all the differences which
have torn Europe apart He has thought up schemes
Of harmony which Lloyd George Poincare, Schanzer,
Tchitchern and Rathenau have never thought Of
They would almost certainly be astounded at the
simplicity of Nh. Bryans specifications for world
harmony and prosperity.
We have never given Mr.. Bryan show in this
country. We ridcule him as a visionary and jeer at
his plans when as a matter of fact we have refused
10 experiment with them. We have condemned them
without trial, when if had followed his advice
might all be wearing diamonds
We listen with respect to his admontions at
chautauquas and then we refuse to heed them and
so on in our sinful ways

From this keyboard the skilled per-
fumer can draw harmonies by COM
bining the essences into chords for
the delectation of his audience.
1t seems possible that man might
develop greater sensitiveness to per-
fumes. The Arabs cultivated the
sense of smell as an instrument OF
pleasurable sensation. 1t is written
of their gardens that near the ent-
rance were planted pungent, not al
ways pleasant smelling, plants. Far
ther along. the scents grew more
softly fragrant, and in the heart of
the garden the perfumes blended so
delicately that only highly attuned
olfactory nerves could appreciate
them fully.
The Arab garden Is possible to few
of us in this country. But we may
soon be able to achieve the same de-
gree of stimulation that the Arab
did through perfume concerts ema-
mating from tiny walls and tubes Of
essences.
Keen Scent Not Essential
Developing greater sensitiveness to
perfume harmonies with a view TO
increasing ones capacity for enjoy
ment is not exactly the same as de-
veloping keenness Of scent. The two
should not be confused. The primi-
tive Indian had a keener sense of
scent than the modern white man
has, but it is doubtful whether the
primitive Indian reacted with much
sensitiyeness to perfumes pleasing
and displeasing A modern man may.
like the Indian, have keen sense of
scent and yet lack the power of en-
joying delicate flower perfumes. A
finely attuned set of olfacE0Ty nerves,
however. is help in enjoying a per-
fume concert, just as good hearing
is an aid to enjoyment of music.
Given normally developed senses,
the taste for perfume and color can
presumably be cultivated, like a taste
for music.
Imagine an intense evening, say
ten years from now. The walls of
the room would be a screen for color
harmonies played throughout the
evening by an expert operator at a
color organ A pianist at an ordi-
nary musical piano would accompany
the color musician. Perfume breez-
es, melting from one scent to another,
would be waited through the room
by electric fans. A taste organ of
the latest assortment of bootleg har-
monies would be operated by the
guests.
Thus, would all senses, except
touch, be provided for. Perhaps bits
of silk, velvet. and flower petals, with
an occasional sample of nutmeg gra-
ter for piQuant contrast, could be
passed around. This may seem a
fantastic picture. But, remember, the
color organ is here. The perfume
keyboard is ready for a master COM
poser. And in ten years?

Wisconsin Apnrsntiess

The Wisconsin Industrial Commission which we
believe is handling the industrial problems of that
state more saney than those OF other states
managed. has issued memorandum on the approval
of apprenticeship Milwaukee printing
houses against which strikes have been de-
clared these shops having since joined with other
printing establishments which have been operating
the open shop" plan of the Employing Printers
association
In previous strikes-not however, in the printing
tradethe commission had refused to permit the ap-
prentices to go out But there few apprentices
in the printing trade, that is legally
apprentices, the commission having been unable to
interest the employing printers IN apprenticeship
under the law. But since the strike the employers
have asked the commission to indenure the minors
employed by them under the age Of 21.
The commission, recognizing the need for appren-
tees in the printing industry, which it has all along
urged upon employers, questions the wisdom of
ndenturing apprentices under the conditions in the
shops under strike. Having In mind the interest
of the apprentices it finally decided not to do
and has refused to allow compositor apprentices to
be taken on in those shops pending the strike
Two sound reasons for this refusal are given
One is that in these shops the apprentices will be
given little attention while the strike is in prog
ress; that the mechanics now employed, having no
connections with Milwaukee, will take little inter-
est in them. The other reason is that the strike will
be likely to end long before the expiration of the
indentures of apprentices taken on. And If it
should end nearly all strikes do with the return
of the strikers the apprentices would be regarded by
them Ishmaelites outcasts and traitors. these
circumstances the boys who would be indentured
would be the losers The commission had previously
adopted resolution with respect permits child
labor denying them to establishments where strikes
lockouts in progress Likewise it had preserved
its neutrality by refusing to cancel such permits
issued prior to strikes.
Another matter is covered by the memorandum
the practice of shops not affected by strikes Of main
tanning so-called flying squadron" to assist
struck shops. The commission has issued order
that if apprentices used for this purpose, the
apprenticeship contracts will be Cancelled
The wisdom of the ruling is apparent serving
two purposes 1t is beneficial to boys desiring to
learn trades and the exercise Of this strict neutrality
in conflict between mechanics and employers in
which the matter of apprenticeship has become so
involved. will tend to the deep-seated senti-
nent of the short-sighted journeymen against
apprentices

Broley Daily Poem
ANY LOVER TO HIS LASS

Most people live humdrum life
When they are married. day by day
They have their petty little strife,
They fuss and argue. yea and nay,
And so they wear their lives away;
But we we gaze in scorn thereat
And in our confidence we say
"Ah, we won't ever be like that!"
Many husband leaves his wife
While he goes out alone to play:
A shrew whose tongue is like a knife
Makes a spouse grow dour and gray.
While love that once was blithe and gay
Grows unromantic, bald and fat:
But our love never shall decay
And we won't ever be like that!
Shrill as the note Of any fife
The cynics' voices warn US stay
The matrimonial state Is rife
With trouble, worry and dismay;
Marriage is one continual fray
Or else boredom, full and flati"
But why should that concern US, pray?
For we won't ever be like that!
ENVOY
Sweetheart, though all the world should flay
Wedlock as one continual spat;
1t wouldn't cause US to delay
For we won't ever be like that!

long to the people and they can make
them function as they should. Start
a campaign against unclean officials
and unrighteous courts and it won't
be very long till our legal machin-
cry will be working right But sup
pose the officials were corrupt and
the courts fail to administer the
law, does that justify a secret order
in constituting itself court to sit in
Judgment on the conduct Of men and
to punish the offenders of law with
out a hearing? If so, any number of
men have a right to mask themselves
and go out on what they might call
a house cleaning job. Such a group
of men would be considered outlaws
by even the Ku Klux Klan. II con-
ditions demand such an order and the
order is American, let 1t petition con-
gress to incorporate it in the consti-
tuition and make 1t an arm OF our
civil Jurisprudence. Again, Il con-
ditions are as bad as represented let
the citizens who are willing to enter
a clean up campaign petition the
court to appoint 100 unpaid deputy
sheriffs to assist the sheriff in bring
ing yiolators of law to justice.
1t would require brave earnest men
for a Job like that. But it does not
require brave men TO go masked and
armed to a mans house, decoy him
out. seize him, handcuff and gag him,
take him to the woods and beat the
life out of him. No; any set of
white liyered towards could do that.
We are not discriminating the order
as a set of towards, but are main
tanning that it does not require brave
men to do their work. Any set OF
towards could do il. And il they
are brave men they are engaged IN
a work that towards would not tai
ter to do. Some states, we are told,
have seen the danger inherent IN the
order and have outlawed It. The
sooner it is outlawed in every state
the better for the country II II
continues, men will arm themselves
and will shoot down the masked
would-be executors of the law. Any
man had rather be shot down like q
dog than tied to a tree and whipped
Somebody will get dose of lead
If the order continues TO operate.
If a man captured by the order
should be armed and should kill the
whole bunch there is not a court in
America that would convict him OF
murder. It would be justifiable
homicide. Let us so slow and let
the courts handle our criminals.

To the Editor of The Republican:
Sir: / notice the following in The
Republican of Sunday, April %:
That John Oatman claims to be the
grandson of Olive Oatman, famous
in Arizona history. In 1851 the Oat-
man family, while on the way from
Illinois to California, was massacred
by Indians. One daughter was spared
and forced to marry Mohave brave;
that she became such a thorough
Indian that years later when her
brother insisted that she leave her
husband and family she went insane.
Now. / was personally acquainted
with Mrs. J. B. Fairchild, nee Olivia
(not olive. She married Fairchild
about 1868 in California and a few
years later moved to Sherman, Tex,
where she lived until her death eight
or ten years ago. Mrs. Fairchild
was a woman of intelligence and was
socially prominent. The Fairchilds
owned a beautiful residence on South
Travis street. Fairchild was a
wealthy banker of that city. They
had an adopted daughter.
The statement that she went in
sane must be untrue. as / lived near
them for several years and knew
