AN ODF TO MOTHER
Thy gracious presence. mother dear.
Brings joy to all the worlds sad
throng.
While centuries of melody
Attunc the worlds glad song.
As perfume from the sweetest flowers.
AS good news from. our absent

SO doth the vision of thy face
Make fer each i'll full amend.
Thou art the true ambT0sia.
Lies nectar, making bitter sweet.
The spring Of impulses divine,
Loves shrine where sweetest
mcm'rics meet.
Thy greatness and thy gentlcness.
Gene to us an inspiring lay;
The memory of all thou art.
In sunshine chasing clouds away.
When tide-waVcs bear thee DER tho

Forever ending all thy tears.
Tho harvest of thy patient love.

Marital Law to Reverse Civil Law
CHICAGO, July 19.-Martial law
throughout Illinois and Indiana coal
fields became possibility today.
Because of a state law requiring all
miners to pass a safety test before a
board composed of three miners, use of
strike breakers appeared impossible.
State officials declared, however,
that this law could be nullified by the
declaration of martial law. Indiana and
Illinois coal fields are 100 percent
union and even with the establish
ment of martial law, it was feared only
a small proportion of shaft mines could
be operated.

the strikers.
The council by unanimous vote
authorized President Samuel Gompers
to issue this proclamation to the work

SHOWED RIGHT CIVIC SPIRIT
Interesting Story Of How Youngsters
Brought About the Regeneration
of Their Village.


Twelve boys who started out In a
seml-playful mood under the name Of
"Dirty Dozen finally were led on I'M
til they had cleaned UP whole COM
munlty Of 1900 people physically and
morally At last their name was
changed to 'Diligent Dozen
There was quiet little mother Of
one Of the twelve hidhen behind the
scenes, who never appeared publicly
to be connected with the affair, but
at whose house there was a mysterl-
Gus generator Of brilliant ideas for
such boys. The twelve IDS" met
both Friday evening and Sunday aft
ternoon for conference, writes William
A. AcKeever In the Chicago American.
The town cleanup Of the boys was
worked In accordance with the rules
of what we call good psychology"
They met with the proprietors Of the
main business section, two blocks in
length, and agreed to clean up the
streets in front Of them and keep them
clean for a year, provided these men
would do likewise with their store
fronts and interiors. The general
transformation began with a rush.
Saturday morning early the dozen
were there with sweepers, shovels and
wheelbarrows, and by noon the street
looked strangely new.
The week following soap, water,
paint and putty were brought freely
into use on the old store buildings.
Old tobacco tags, circus bills and no-
tees Of painkillers were raked down
and burned About one-third Of the
display windows-under the influence
of this revival were torn out and re-
placed with plate glass fronts. Many
interior improvements followed.
The school buildings and church
structures were next attacked by the
"D's.' The school officials were re-
quested to clean and repair the build
ings, and the teacher gave half-holi-
day SO that pupils might thus review
the school yards. The dozen them
selves took care of the vacant lots on
which the church buildings stood.

MANS DUTY TO HOME TOWN
Civic Obligations Are Not Always as
Thoroughly Recognized as
They Ought to Be.

There is no country in the world in
which wealth so generally recognizes
its obligations to the public as in
America. Vast sums have been deyot-
ed to public use, to the great benefit
of the public. But municipalities have
not figured largely as beneficiaries,
thoughBth they have to some extent. In
dianapolis has by no means been for
gotten. And it surely ought to be
pleasure for any person with the
right feeling toward the city or town
in which he has lived to do something
with his money tomake life in it
happier and pleasanter. The obliga-
tion of a man to his town is like that
which he owes to his church or his
university, and it should be asaElady
performed. This feeling is becoming
more widely prevalent in Indianapolis,
and it will bring results in which all
will rejoice. Civic life can be made
better, and a proper civic pride deyel-
oped in this way that viii be worth
much indianapolis News.
