age of twenty-five, he sailed for Eng

In twenty-five parts drew crowded

adapt and write plays. His best play,

and be sung as long as there are
homes, and men wander and homesick-
ness grips the wanderers.
There used to be story that
''IIome, Sweet Home" was written by
Payne on a tattered envelope In a
driving rain under lamp post when
he was a ragged and hungry tramp in
foreign land. All wrong. Listen to
Payne himself:
II first heard the air In Italy. One
beautiful morning as I was strolling
alone amid some delightful scenery,
my attention was arrested by the sweet
voice of a peasant girl who was carry
Ing a basket laden with flowers and
vegetables. This plaintlve air she
TITLED with so much sweetness and
simplicity that the melody at once
caught my fancy. l accosted her, and,
after a few moments conversation, I
asked her for the name of the song,
which she could not give me, but hav-
iI.g some slight knowledge of music
myself, barely enough for the purpose,
l requested her to repeat the air. which
she did, while jotted down the notes
as best I could. 1t was this air that
suggested the words of Home, Sweet
Home both of which l sent to Bishop
at the time was preparing the opera
Bishop happened to know the air well,
and adapted the music to the words"
Payne, at the time to which he re-
fers, was in Paris and In comfortable
circumstances, working on his opera,
"Clari. the Maid Of Milan for which
his old friend, Sir Henry Bishop, the
composer, wrote the music.
II is probable that Home, Sweet
Home" was first sung May 8, 1923.
II Is believed that Miss NJ. Tree was
the singer The opera was produced
at the Covent Garden theater, London.
II was a distinct success. More than
100000 copies of the song were sold
in the first year. The profit. however.

rejected by France as wholly made

negotiations That Is as far as the
most optimistic opinion can go.
Germany offers a total of 10000
100000 gold marks ($7,5OO. O00,0O0) as
the utmost limit of her capacity to
pay. and expresses some doubt OF her
ability to pay that much. though 1t
Is minor fraction of the sum she
ngreed to pay under the Versailles
treaty. She proposes that two-thlrds
Of this be raised before July l, 1927,

national money market; that $780,

and the remaining 5.0O0,00O.OO0
marks similarly before July l, 1881.
The plan provides that in case the
three loans do not produce the re-
quired total, ian impartial interna-
tional commission must decide. II,
when. and how the balance must be
covered. The same commission will
decide how the interest on these loans,
not provided for. may be raised"
This commission, the note says,
should be "either the consortium which
floats the loan or an international
commission of business men CORE
spending to the proposition made by
Secretary Of State Hughes. on which
Germany would be represented with
equal rights, or an arbitration tribunal,
composed Of representative of the
reparation commission, a representa-
tive of the German government. and
an arbitrator designated by the Presi-
dent of the United States In the alb
sence of an agreement on this person

Cuno says Germany Is ready to en-
act legislation that would make her
entire economic system contribute so
as to assure the Interest on the loans,
and to make conventions for deliv-
cries in kind. He proposes that secur-
ity MS between France and Germany

any future disputes to arbitration or
other conclllatory process, suggesting
the Bryan arbitration plan.
Conditions hedging the offer include
the immediate evacuation by France
and Belgium of occupied territory
whose occupation Is not authorized by
the Versailles treaty, and the restora-
ton Of all expelled persons to their
homes and positions.
THE Cuno proposals are in every
respect wholly obnoxious to the
French. AS to the loans, the French
attitude is expressed thus by high
official: The whole PREPARATIONS ques-

At the Union college, where Payne
was a student for two years, there Is
quite an elaborate memorial to him.
In the library is a collection of Payne
memorabilia, books and pictures, In
Guiding the manuscript of poem
written in college days. 1t contains
the germ of the great song. written six
teen years later In foreign land.
Here is one Of the boyhood poems
verses:
Where burns the lov'd hearth brightest
Cheering the social breast?
Where beats the fond heart lightest,
Its humble hopes possessed?
Where Is the smile of sadness,
OF meek-eyed Patience born.
Worth more than those Of gladness
Which Mirth's bright cheeks adornf
.oa ure is marked by feetness,
To those who ever roam;
While grief itself has sweetness
At Home! dear Home!
Payne was not an "exile from
home," except In the sense that he
was born wanderer. He never mar
ried. An early love affair with a
Boston belle was broken of by pa
rental interference. He was once in
love with the widow OF the poet Shelley.
He was very far from being a shift
less bird Of passage and derelict. On
the contrary he was courted and feted
during much Of his life and was the
companion and friend Of the great.

 The other day the president of the American Federation of Labor, Samuel Gompers, sent me a 1eafet which his organizatoin in company with many others is sending out by the million. It points out such facts as these:
 Only B states have laws which measure up to the standards of those Federal laws which the Supreme court threw out as unconstitutional. Nine states have no law prohibiting children under I4 fros working in fac tories and stores. Twenty-three grant exemptions to children under IA, letting them work. Thirty-seven states let children work without even common-school education. Which brings us to the point that Great Britain, Belgium, Norway, Germany, Denmark, Czechos1ovakia, and others -I2 European countries in all-pro hibit at least those kids under IA from working. That puts us in a class, as MT. Gompers' 1eafet says, with In dia, China and Japan"
 Other countries can rule in the mat ter of child labor. So can the United States. With adequate laws and with adequate machinery, child labor of no cost to the state and without in any way hurting industry.
 That statement can be proved-it is being proved One of the states, with good machinery, is doing it and has able story of simple efficiency. That story will be told next time

They were elected by vote of than two to over othe car1di- dates but when the time came for them to attend certain clique attempted to prevent them by booking the appropria- tion for expenses. The expenses did not entail burden of $1 man and a vast majority of the union believed their eff forts in securing an increase of $18O a year entitled them to some consideration and overwhelmingly voted the expenses. The delegates attended the convention and made forrna reports at the last meet ing. But now the dissatisfied clique is attempting comeback by opposing them for offices.
