Lights of a Dull Commons

Irish Nationalist party from it's small
beginning in the first Parliament of
which he was member; saw it when
Parnell took the leadership; saw its
elimination and witnessed its decline,
rare privilege 1, from a humber
position, shared to the full extent.
Also, I, at close quarters, watched and
admired the part he played in the
great drama.
For the Prime Minister the session
was series of broken attendance. A
succession Of international conferences
called him away from Westminster, to
the decadence Of interest in Parlia-
mentary proceedings and the oc-
casional discontinue Of his party. 1t
is a high tribute to his personal in
huence that on resuming his seat on
the Treasury bench after long OF short
absence he Immediately took charge Of
affairs, none disputing his supremacy.
At the close Of session, not without
its troubles, Mr.. Lloyd George is as
firmly seated in the saddle as when he
first mounted
The most striking feature in the
session is the advanced position won
by Winston Churchill. More closely
than ever his career resembles that
of his father. Lord Randolph began
his wonderful Parliamentary life as a
free lance, to whom the House Of Com
mons was attractive as a more promi-
nent platform for a spree than had
earlier come within his reach. To its
huge delight, John Bright, in a rare
lapse into unconscious humor, desir.
ing to allude to Woodstock, the Dor.
ough which returned Randolph tc
Westminster, called him the "Hon
Member for Woodcock." Members
discerning some appropriateness In the
name, for some time used It in smoke
room conversation. After prancine
round on his own account, Lord Ran.
dolph became leader Of the Fourth
Party, and from his corner seat be-
low the gangway. with strict impartial
ity attacked Gladstone and his owr
nominal chief, Stafford Northcote
When in course Of time he, by shee,
force of merit, became leader Of the
House and Chancellor of the Elk

The Loss of Balfour

Lord Balfour's own withdrawal from
the scene he has adorned for nearly
the House. He ran Lloyd George
close for the first place in its estima-
tion as an attractive speaker. 1t Is an
odd thing. that, making his maiden
speech in the House Of Lords, he should
have landed his colleagues in the
ministry in serious defeat in the
division lobby. This incident is not
ing quilted the Commons. AS in q
touching speech he reminded his late
constituents, he saw the rise of the

simply bring the suggested discussions

the matter was to see that authors

society does in other fields and
desiring most certainly that all

the highest possible standards for

FISHERS ISLAND
Why do zoe say "pale" starss
Tho fsmdne7,t
Is thickly genmsd Tonight
With distant suas
And planets, giowing like small, tar-
flung moons.
The fishing boats that here at amcbor lie,
As If enchanted By nights a0itckery,
Loom grayly IN the shadoWs BY the pier
Like ships of old romance and mystery.
No sound is there sovs tapping Of the
tide
Thot soothes like music
And is scarce a sound.
But makes tho charmed silence more
complete
With it's reiterated monotone.
And to tho eastward Gre tbs karbor

Seeming tonight no nearer than the

The New Road to Fame

A wife when he had one at

And his name would appear
In the press, far and near
From Rio Janeiro to Nome.
His wickedness gave him an
eminent place
AS a worldwide attention at

And all Of the managers hotly
would race
To get him signed up as an
actor
So easy this route to the hearts
Of the army of photoplay fans
That cinema stars
Broke their marital bars
In companies, punches and
clans.
SO sordidly common divorce
suits became
That an actors domestic du-

The papers regarded as stupid
and tame,
And it got him no useful pub
licity.

To shine in the popular eye
Will have to be good
AS a married man should
Or he never can hope to get

To get into print he must needs
be unique,
No family ties he must sever,
And instead Of annexing a new
wife each week
He must live with the old one
forever!

HERE was the garden gate, where
AR the C a m b er ing woodbine
scrambles;
There is the rotting sill she crossed
when, bride, she came
In with her man to her home where
the upreaching arms Of the
brambles
Swarm DER the broken down walls
and the sumach bush kindles
it's flame.
The roof Of the dwelling has van
ishcd; alanthus saplings have
sprouted
Where the foundations stones are
dropping in slow decay,
And rains of the hurrying years
have quilted and washed and
routed
And buried in grass and weeds
the road that she trod that
day.
Here was the we'll he dug: the fungus
CLEANS on the curbing.
That rubble of messy stone was
hearth in the long ago.
Only the winds walk through this
garden Of hers, disturbing
The tangle of leaves and thorns
where the golden rods lances
glow.
Weather and weeds have joined in
an envious, fast alliance
To blot from the minds Of men
the place where she loved to
walk.
Yet, look! Where the gate once
stood a rosebush faunts it's
defiance,
And valiant and all alone one
hollyhock raises it's stalk.
We're they a part of her dream that
they hold their places to-
gether?
Men have forgotten her name; the
heart that once loved them is
dust.
Still, by the ruin they stand,
through the somnolent sum-
mer weather,
Lifting their blossoms high-sol-
diers, true to their trust.
So at the gate they wait, though
the house that they knew has
wallowed
Down to the cellars pit, where the
fires of the sumach burn,
Watching when summer comes the
road that the wood has swal-
lowed,
Gallant and high of heart; wait
ing for her return.

The session of the British House of
Commons which has just closed has
been the dullest in the memory Of
man. This is doubtless due mainly
ist party. The Irish member was the
salt of the House OF Commons. Also,
it is true, occasionally the cayenne pep

1t was pleasant to hear Lord Balfour
in valedictory speech dressed to
his former constituents pay gem
erous tribute to his ancient foemen.
He did not believe, he said, with a
tremor in his voice, that in the whole
history of our Parliament (Ee doubted
whether in the history Of any Parlia-
ment) there had ever been such a
party for the sternness of its disci-
pline, the extraordinary wealth of its
speakers, some Of them masters of
elocution and supreme debaters,
formidable from their knowledge of
parliamentary methods and the use to
which they put their knowledge.
Parnell is dead and so are the ma
jority of his lieutenants, including Mr..
Biggar. John Dillon and Tim Healy
alone remain, both driven into OBJ
scurity by men of the class Of De
Valera. They will with mixed feel
ings hail this tribute to 'that mar
velous parliamentary phenomenon,
the Irish party" of which more than
forty years ago they were prominent
members.

vided between the two parties.
The Great Northern Railway Com
pany agrees with the Nippon Steam

to their mutual advantage and the
Jap ships shall be given preference
on freight to the Orient. The rail

else its best endeavors to secure ex-

companies are working as one, to the
disadvantage of American ships that
would build up a trade in the Orient.

factory workers in this state was con-
tinued in November by further de-
crease of 21. cents, according to the
state department of labor. The aver
age for November was $24.32, or about
Is per cent less than in November,
last year. The averages are based on
reports received from 1648 of the
larger manufacturers throughout the

Because of high clothing costs, and

that average weekly earnings in the

FIGHTING 1T
Railroad Shop Employees
Opposed to Contract
Plan

Chicago" transportation act
requires the establishment of just and
reasonable wages and working condi-
tions for all employes-not simply for
the train service employees.
"Are the carriers to be allowed to
deny such wages and conditions to
certain shop or maintenance-of- f-way
employees by means of this contracting
out?"
The above are two of the strong
points made by organized shop en-
ployes in a brief to the railroad labor
board against the present policy of
railroads contracting their repair
work to private companies.
The Erie railroad originated this
scheme to get from under the juris-
diction of the railroad labor board.
Thirteen other roads have adopted
the plan. These include the Pennsyl-
vania, Southern Pacific, Pere Mar
quette, New York Central, Big Four,
Gulf Coast lines, Chicago Great West
ern, Ann Arbor and Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul.
In their brief against the Erie's
contracting its Marion, Ohio, shops to
the railway service company the rail-
road shop employees show that the
company is a camouflage for the Erie.
The amount of capital which the SER
vice company carries on its business
is $1,000, yet the payroll of the Mar
ion shops is from $21 900 to $4,000
week The incorporators are known
anti-unionists whose wage standard is
80 to As cents an hour The manager
of the company is R. v Blocker, for
mer master mechanic of the Erie, who
came direct to the company from the
services of the Erie.
