VICTORY.

The worlds in tumult vet!
The League of Nations not COM
plete!
Self reigns supreme
With scarce CLEAN
Of trust in Him who is to rule
Still hearts of men are cruel.
Twas thus the world was dark
When Jesus lived, He did mark
The sparrow's fall,
He knew the pail
Of wicked darkness spreading Ger
The life of nations more and more.
But Heaven upon Him shone,
On the Fathers beloved Som.
From heart to heart
In home and mart
He taught and healed and was the
Light.
To guide each soul to God and
Right.
But powers of evil hate
Striving to shun their fate,
With greedy heed
To Satan's lead,
Loving darkness rather than light
Crucifed the Lord of Truth and
Right.
Then darkness darker fell.
In triumph seemed all He'll!
In death no hope
For Love to cope
With Evil ruling all the earth.
No light No hope! All dark! All
death!
But morning dIawned. Our Jesus
rose.
He rose in victory, DER His foes.
By master stroke
He fully broke
The power of Satan'S foulest
scheme
Pierced the tomb, Gods life4givine
stream.
Now light! Now joy! Now life!
Victory for Him! Our strife
Triumphant through Him!
No days should be dim.
He walks not in the dark who steps
With Him through the Valley OF
deaths shady depths.

was a brilliant idea and one, it
seems that railroad administrations
should have conceived of long ago.
To-day railroads are in competi-
ton with the automobile and motor
bus in the transportation of both
passengers and freight. This means
their respective rates and services
are in competition, each bidding for
public patronage and the one offer,
ing the best service at the lowest
rates winning that patronage.

The members of Congress realize
that any radio legislation must be
of temporary character, as the radio
field offers infinite possibilities for
development. No doubt, in the near

Your Representative in Congress
was asked to take charge of the
delegations from Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa, to
notify and urge them TO attend a
hearing which was held before the
Board of Engineers or Rivers and
Harbors of the War Department
March 18th and 10th. There was
wonderful representation of the ad-
vocates of the Great Lakes-St. Law
renee Waterway project, about six
ty members of Congress being pres
ent to oppose the so-called all
American Route. Convincing arg,-
ments, backed up by indisputable
facts and figures were presented,
which completely demonstrated the
impracticability of the New York
Route, both from an operative and
constructive point of view.
Hearings on Farm Relief pro-
posals still continue before the Ayr

The General Rivers and Harbors
Bill, which is expected to carry an
appropriation of $50,00O,00O, will
be reported to the House Mar III
31st, according to an agreement
reached between Representative
Dempsey of New York, Chairman of
the House Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee, and Representative Vestdl
of Indiana Republican Whip.
Secretary of Labor James j. Davis,
in recent letter to Hiram w. John
son, Chairman of theSenate Com
mittee on immigration, has suggest
ed several commendable changes in
the present Immigration Law. He
would relieve the cases of extreme
hardship. caused by the, separation
of families. by amending the 1924
Law to give first claim to entran re
under the quota regulations to rela
tives of aliens resident in this coun.
try, as well as relatives of citizens.
Secretary Davis also proposed that
special consideration and preference
be given to the alien veterans Of
| the World War who served in our
| Army, but are now living elsewhere.
For those countries who have ex-
| hausted their quotas he would ask
special quota of 500 immigration
visas, and to take care of the ex-
ceptional cases, the Secretary asks
that the unused quotas of the last
| two years, amounting to about d.
GOO, be pooled and placed at the
| 5iscretion of the Department of
Labor.
Mr.. Davis would have his plan in
effect until June 80, 1927, after
| which time the Secretary of Labor
shall report to the Congress the
number of aliens admitted agalnst

The position of women in indus
try anu in the professions is no
longer "a matter of conjecture or sur
mise, it is an actual achievement:
In 1910 there were 47S,U00 women
school teachers as against III, 200
men; in 1920 there were $4,000
women ana less than $4,000 men.
In 1910 there were 269,000 sales
women and women clerks against
93S,0UO men; in 1920 there were
531 900 saleswomen, against 1885,
900 men. The men increased by
something more than ten per cent ;
the women nearly doubled. In cler-
zeal occupations, the proportion OF
women rose from 34.Z to 45.6 per
cent; and in professional. service,
the proportion went up from ABB 90
Ala per cent. In the trades from
1873 TO 1871 per cent. There has
been, however, "a decrease in the en-
ployment of women In domestic SER
vice from GIL to 64.2, and in manu-
featuring from Ill to 15.1, while
IN agricultural, forestry and animal
husbandry from 14.3 to 80.
