There's a plan to simplify the coal
problem. Railroads won't like it-no
more coal to carry. Middlemen will
detest it.
The idea is change the coal into
electric current at the mine:
Electricity carries itself over the
wires, with no humping of freight
cars, no fiat wheels, no loading and
unloading. Instead of buying coal,
changing it into power and heat 500
or thousand miles from the milne,
skilled labor at the mines would put
the coal into electricity to be used for
heat, light, power, wherever wanted.
That will come in time.
1t ought to come now.

NOTES ON PLAGIARISM
By Deliha Suraha

P to the present there is no agreement
as to what actually constitutes pla-
giarism. Select what writer we will
and if we search deep enough we can find
plagiarism in some shape or form. If
men have thoughts they do not wish others
to have or express in their works, they
should not themselves express them.
Plagiarists as a race, are old and vast
in number, increasing with each generation
until at some future day the original
thinkers of all the beautiful things we
love to remember and make use of shall
have been forgotten as indeed many of
them are even now. George Maurevert
has spent eight years in searching out
host of plagiarists among the prominent
authors and written book thereon and
Vincente 1banez quotes literally from it
in recent article in the International
Book ReVieav, so it seems that we are but
plagiarizing in following suit but l for
one, can frankly admit of no original
thought and must acknowledge that all l
have to say is but the expression of the
thoughts of others. The characteristics of
hand writing may be used to disguise old
thoughts as new but the modern press
rips off the disguise and presents the facts
in black and white, using as a medium,
expressionless type.
Among contemporary writers, Gerald
track. Others may, without plagiarizing,
also write racing stories but if we appro-
pirate his characters, his stage settings and
his mode of expression, we are plagiar-
izing. Every writer, however, generally
begins by initiating the author who is in
fashion when he is in his youth and lit
erature is largely a matter of imitation.
Imitation is not plagiarism, however, un-
less we overstep the bounds and appro-
pirate more than the fundamental idea.
We can discuss for hours-nay weeks, this
topic without arriving at a definite con-
clusion as to what is plagiarism and what
is not but it is allowed we may "take as
the bee, slipping of the honey but not as
the ant who carries away seed, stalk,
honey and ALL" That is, we may initiate
to certain extent but if we go too far we
are recognized at once as plagiarists.
Most plagiarisms are committed quite
unconsciously and are old things that were
read and forgotten but come forth aeain
to bloom as brain children of the moment.
The basic principle, the communism of
primitive societies prevails; everything be-
longs to everybody and all assist to pro-
duce literature in some form. The most
audacious of moderns are desirous, neces-
sary in sense, in order to contribute to
the environment in which literature is
given birth. Thus the masses of the
people, multitude of rigorous authors
who put forth their works, unsigned often,
write the epics, which often appear some
what altered perhaps under the signature
of famous writers.
The word "p1aoiarism" was invented BY
one, Martial. a Spanish poet and native
of Aragon hut like so MANY other inven-
tors, he failed to establish anv definite
conclusion as to what is or what is not,
plagiarism.
Anatole France says, "a situation does
not belong to him who (Pass :. Co.. 81

entered the Sailors Home Saloon" Drinks
came fast, and Darlington, now broke,
endeavored to leave. Jolly remarks soon
became angry taunts, bottle was acci-
IDENTIFY upset and Darlington blamed for
the mishap. A booze-maddened sailor
aimed a blow at the hapless stranger which
he lodged, and, stepping backward fell
over chair. The crowd rushed him, and
quickly grabbing a fallen bottle he rained
blows right and left, the while backing
towards the door. One heavy blow over
an assailant's head laid him low. Bleeding
profusely, the victim lay still.
"Murder" cried the crowd, and Bar
rington, in desperation, ran outside, fol-
lowed by bowling mob. Dodging here
and there, he finally eluded his pursuers,
as well as the police who also were now
on his trail. His situation desperate, his
life in danger, he hastily left the city for
parts unknown, there to hide and seek out
a miserable and, he thought, hunted exis-
tance; henceforth cut off from ever seeing
or writing his family again through fear
of arrest and, possibly, execution for muir
der. And so many of his years were thus
to pass.
The months dragged wearily on for
the wife, mother, and son in "Butler."
Bobbie seeing his mother fade and pine
away in sorrow and toll her feeble body
bending under the heavy load; her eyes
often filled with tears, or a much-more-
frequent vacant stare-seeming to try to
peer into, and ferret out whatever the
seemingly hopeless future had in store;
yet bravely striving to appear hopeful in
the face of dire adversely. These things
filled the son with an increasingly intense
desire to find his father in the great city,
and somehow-he knew not how-to take
his mother away from life of drudgery
and anguish.
Acting upon his secret plans, the youth
built himself blacking-box with shoulder
straps, as he had seen in pictures, and,
dividing his slender store of pennies, he
stealthily wrote note saying
"Mother dear-I cannot see you so un-
happy so l am going to the city to find
father, and then we will send for you.
Please don't cry because I am running
away, for will send you good news soon.
Your Loving Son,
Bobbie."
That night, he put both pennies and note
in his mothers purse, leaving them under
his pillow, and after both had retired he
quietly stole out of his bedroom window
and down the dark, deserted street to the
railway station.
Soon ths city-bound freight came in,
and quickly climbing into an empty car, he
lay down to sleep. The morning found
him looking out upon maze of tracks
and switching trains in the great city.
Eagerly running now to earn his living
and find his father among the early
throng, he was suddenly stopped
by big, well-dressed man who said
commandingly-"Here kid; shine 'em up!"
Greatly confused, the lad now remem-
bered his shine box; he really was a
boot-black at last. The shoes we'll shined,
he received dime. "Gee," thought he.
'T'm in luck! Gosh-I often chopped
wood half a day for a dime; this town
must be rich!"

THE SILVER LINING
CHAPTER l
By Mr.. III. W.

Although afictiOn cOmeM not forth OF
the dust, neither doth trouble spring out
of the ground: yet man is born unto nou-
Bile, as the sparks fly ub4uard.-Job 5:6-7.
HE summer wore on, and the chill
frosty days soon came; only to be
quickly displaced by cold winters
blasts with its thick mantle of snow and
ice which brought about the suspension of
the sawmill, and with it, dire rumors that
the one "main stay" of the village Of
Butler, would not again reopen. Where
upon, most of the men sought employment
in the cities or the lumber woods for the
winter season. But few short weeks
elapsed, when the dire rumors were con-
frmed by the appearance of several con-
factors who hired small crew and began
removing the machinery, to be loaded
upon the waiting cars, and transferred to
the far west where virgin forests awaited
the coming of the equipment.
George Darlington was one of the few
who were employed in the dismantlement
of the mill, which was completed just
before Christmas. Very little work was
to be had after that, and try as he would,
only bare living was obtainable. His
faithful wife and dutiful small son, now
scarcely fourteen years of age, aided in
whatever way they could to keep the grim
wolf from the cottage door.
Mrs. Darlington done what washing and
sewing there was obtainable, while Bobbie
chopped wood and carried papers, thus
adding his mite to the slender income.
Winter passed, and the spring arrived,
but with it no work, and the hard-pressed
father and husband found it necessary to
seek livelihood elsewhere. Leaving all
the money with his wife and child, except
a dollar or two, he journeyed to Metropo-
oils, hoping to soon get work that would
enable him to bring on his family. A sad
and anxious family waved him adieu,
and bravely strove to keep back the falling
tears as the train pulled out and wife and

and hope for better days.
AS Darlington alighted from the train
he viewed, for the first time, the great
Metropolis of the middle-west, with its
towering buildings and bewildering rush
of teeming thousands. Walking briskly,
he soon came into the wholesale district
where great warehouses abounded, and also,
myriads of cheap restaurants, ill-smelling
saloons, and repulsive looking lodging
houses which catered to the trade of sailors
and transient laborers-mostly foreigners
who worked, intermittently, upon the
wharves and lake steamers which lined
the shores of the waterfront.
The days search for work was fruitless,
and night found him sitting upon "wall-
bunk" in large dormitory called the
"Sailor's Home Hotel" Lonely and dis
couraged, Darlington again sought the
distraction of the street. A quartette of
drunken sailors, out for a good time,
accosted him. "Hello Mattel Come have
a schooner and bracer with us-what

Darlington. alone. friendless and craving

welcome meal, he followed the example of
other street urchins and cried-"Shine |!
Shine 'em up, Mister?"
Acquaintance with other lads soon
followed, and he too added papers to his
stock. Before night he had become a
member of the gang, one of whom, a
ragged freckled-faced kid with a shaggy
red hair, said-"Say Bob-where dye
hop?"
This was new language to Bob, so he
replied, 81 don't know"
"Shucks! Pal we jes come wild me.
My mudder's got two rooms, and ye kin
flop an eat wild us!'
"Sure thing!" agreed Bob, trying to use
this new kind of expression.
The two chums ascended the dirty,
creaking stairway of dilapidated old
tenement, wherein were housed rag
pickers, beggars, and others of like calling;
including Jimmie and his MOTHER a
ched-looking but hard working old
woman with deeply wrinkled face and
~ hal who toiled through
the day and long into the night, mending
sacks for fifty cents per hundred, and
which were sent almost daily to her little
rooms from wholesale-house nearby.
The old lady offered to keep Bob for
twenty-five cents a day, which was gladly
accepted by the young boot-black. At any
rate it was place to sleep. The bed was
hard, but clean; the food, coarse and
scant; but it was home, and now he could
soon find his father. He would surely
meet him upon the street some day. and
then.
Mrs. Darlington arose early, and, while
preparing beakfast for herself and son,
she tried to hide heavy heart by snatches
of song. Breakfast ready, she tapped at
Bobbie's door and called. There was no
answer. Again she called, and receiving
no reply, entered the room. The window
was open,-and Bobbie, was gone! There
upon the bed was her little purse, with a
piece of paper protruding. Quickly she
read the note, and, with cry of anguish,
fell upon her knees at the bedside and
sobbed-'"Oh God-What shall do? Why
should all this come upon me?"
The grief-stricken woman was overcome
by a merciful swoon, and hours later,
when consciousness returned, she moved as
in trance, and friendly neighbors strove
in vain to comfort her.
The days wore. on, and finally there came
a letter from Bobbie, saying
"Dear Mother:-
am safe and we'll. am earning
my first money, and will soon find father
and send for you, Mamma.
Lovingly,
Bobbie."
No address was given, but five we'll
worn dollar bills fell out upon the floor,
and tears of thanksgiving filled her eyes
as she returned to her daily washing.
1t would seem that the cup of adversely
had been sufficiently filled, but new ca
lamity soon afterwards overwhelmed the
village. The sky had become overcast, and
the air was still and suAocating, when sud-
denly the storm broke. Thunder rolled like
a vast cannonade; the lightning flashed
followed by terrific crashes; the wind
shrieked as it rushed by-twisting tree
tops and demolishing roofs and out
buildings. page 4, Dol. 81
