Sweet Mystery Of Life
By James Hail Bennett

ny JhlltS nan DbMucCL
All Life, Sweet Mystery of Life, what
holdest thou for me?
A king or prince, to live in pal
Ruling my subjects with an iron
hand?
No? Then a judge who towards
none bears malice
Growing older with the dripping of
Times Sand?
Perhaps a statesman; maybe a
lawmaker
Giving to the world a code for civil
ization?
Or then following the trade of a
baker?
Better still, an author writing for
publication?
All Life, Sweet Mystery of Life,
whisper to the world what 1
shall be.
A merchant, dealing in silks,
spices and all things rare?
Or a blood-thirsty pirate with hu-
mans in the hold
Roaming the Seven Seas search
ing for one to dare?
Perhaps living by the roadside, a
robber bold?
Then just a peaceful citizen living
in q town?
Or maybe a resorter with always
time to bathe?
Better still, a Holy Father pray
ing in the dusk by a new
made mound,
Praying for souls departed or the
living yet to save?

Milford, Friday, November 90, 1881

AS a net result of the Congression-
al elections, taken together with the
deaths of Representative in three
districts which occurred so late that
the vacancies cannot be filled in
time for those elected to participate
i'll the organization of the House of
Representatives, it seems inevitable
at this writing that the Democrats
will control the next House. They
will elect Jack Garner of Texas
Speaker, will take over the chair
manships of all the committees and
will assume responsibility for what
ever action is taken on measures
coming before the House. The Dem
ocratic leaders naturally are jubilant
over this prospect, but the Republi-
cans are not nearly so downcast as
might be expected. The best the
Republicans have hoped for at any
time since the last election was that
they might be able to organize the
House by a bare majority of one or
two. But in that majority there
would have been some ten or fifteen
members who, although they might
have voted for a Republican Speak
er, would have felt themselves un-
der no obligation to support the Re-
publican legislative program which
might follow. This would have
meant that the Republicans would
have had the responsibility without
the votes to back it up,-and respon-
sibility without power in politics is
not only futile but dangerous. AS it
is now the responsibility will rest in
the hands of the Democrats and it
will be up to them to vacate their
favorite role of critic and complain
ant, and present a positive program.
1t is a prospect to which the Repub-
licans are looking forward with great
complacency.

of the dredge boats continue their
work of dredging for clans, the
oyster industry is not so good on ac-
count of the mild Fall weather. The

HOGS NEED MINERALS

Hogs need minerals, or inorganic

much as they do organic materials
such as protein, fat, and carbohy-

The Democrats, on the other hand,
are already beginning to experience
some of the griefs of victory. If the
usual seniority rule should prevail
in the new House organization thirty
of forty-six chairmanships of stand
ing committees would go to Demo-
Gratis south of the Mason-Dixon
Line. Texas alone would get five of
these chairmanships in addition to
the Speaker. Alabama would get
five, North Carolina would get four,
Tennessee would get three, South
Carolina, three and several other
southern states two each. Needless
to say, the northern Democrats do
not look with particular approval
upon this division of the election
spoils. 1t is not only that ambitious
northern Representative would like
to go to the head of committees, but
they are not altogether certain that
fouse so completely dominated by
Old South sentiment would present
a legislative program that would tend
to party harmony, either in the
House itself or in the election next
year. These are some of the prob
lens that will keep Democratic lead
ers from resting too peacefully dur
ing the next months.

From the standpoint of the lay
citizen, the man in the street who is
not so much concerned about party
spoils as he is about constructive
results, the legislative situation in
Washington is far from satisfactory.
The theory upon which our govern
ment operates is that one political
party shall be in complete control of
the entire legislative machinery,
comprising both Houses of Congress
and the Executive. When this con-
dition exists then the party is really
in power and can be held RESPONSE
BILE for what it does or what it fails
to do. But that condition will not
prevail during the coming winter.
There is Republican in the White
House, but Congress will be under
the control of the opposition. The
Senate, it is true, will be nominally
Republican, but actually the major
ity of its membership will be hostile
to the President and to any program
he is likely to propose. The House,
as the membership now stands, will
be clearly Democratic and so we
have one party represented in the
Executive branch of the govern
ment and another in the legislative
branch.--a situation that is pecu-
liarly embarrassing to the President
and gives little promise of construc-
tive and satisfactory legislation.

to consult the doctor about her and
the teacher felt that she had more i'm
portant things to do than to investi-
gate and take too seriously rrlmor of
whooping cough
When others began to cough in the
first grade within the usual ten or
fifteen days. everybody had forgotten
the unauthenticated rumor and the
children were allowed to stay in school
if they liked just as the first one had
been. 1t was therefore some time be-
for the busy health officer got wind of
affairs. BY that time he had flour
ishing epidemic on his hands.
The doctor of course hurried up to
the school and sent every suspect
home. The school authorities were
chagrinned. They needed instructions
after that, except in the case of jim
mic, son of a school board member,
whose mother assured them that jim
mics cough was just his usual winter
bronchitis. Then the doctor had to
hurry to school again and exclude
Jimmie, being no resector of the school
boards members sons and his remarks
remarks to teachers and parents, both,
became unpardonably abusive.
THE net result of the policy of
urging children to come to school re-
CARELESS of coughs was that at the
very least twenty children had to be
excluded from school for six weeks or
more instead of one" the association
doctors point out More serious still,
two of the little victims have already
been hurried to the hospital gravely i'll
to teachers and parents, both, became
pardonably abusive.
"Whooping cough is not necessary
and unavoidable evil of childhood
Intelligent watchfulness on the part of
both parents and teachers will limit it
to isolated cases and perhaps avoid it
altogether. 1t is a serious and some
times a fatal disease and every effort
should be made to escape it,

TRUNK HIGHWAY JOBS
TO BE STARTED SOON.

Work on number of trunk high
way paving, grading and bridge jobs,
on which bids were opened last week,
will get under way very soon, accord
ing to Commissioner G. M. Babcock
While paving, due to weather con-
ditions usually does not start until
close to May l, much of the prelimin-
airy work will be done before that
time, while work on many of the grad
ing and bridge projects will start
The list of projects on which low bids
are announced was originally set for
letting March 8, but postponed to
March 10 to permit contractors to
revise their figures in accordance with
the new regulations covering hours of
labor and minimum wages. The or
iginal bids were never opened, so there
is no way of determining if the new
rules affected prices except by COM
parison with prices at previous lettings

Among the many features in this
newspaper which are of special in
terest to our women readers, it isn't
difficult to guess that probably the
most popular is the Illustrated fashion
articles by Miss Cherie Nicholas. For
what woman does not like to appear
In clothes which carry the message of
her being well dressed" and recognized
among her friends as such? And
thousands of women throughout the
United States look to Miss Nicholas
to tell them about the up-to-the
minute fashions which are available to
them at moderate cost.
Miss Nicholas is one of the recognized
authorities on dress and style in the
United States. Although a native of
ST. Louis, her career in fashion work
started in Chicago when she was
asked to do style articles for one of
the leading millinery trade magazines,
and thus quickly led to her appoint
ment as associate editor of this publ
cation She next became advertising
manager of the largest wholesale mil
unery mouse III lie WtSI, IidVuS
charge of twelve departments, and also
editing the magazine which this COM
pany published. Next she was called
to the editorship of the Millinery
Herald, published by the Millinery job
beTs Association of the West, and
successfully conducted that publication
for several years.
Branching out from her work in The
millinery field, Miss Nicholas began
writing about other womens fashions
and soon became one of the leading
writer's for various trade publications
and syndicate services. The best cri-
terion Of the value of her fashion arti-
cles is the tribute paid to them by
prominent retail dealers, wholesalers
and women readers throughout the
county. Those tributes are contained
in such expressions as these: 1T al
ways startles me to see how much in
teresting editorial copy you can weave
around a quite usual looking frocA,
and II enjoy your fashion articles be-
cause of their never waning enthlisi-
sam of expression and newness of
thought"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1931-03-27

Many other factors, such as length of
haul of material and other local con-
ditions, also enter into the bidding,
but the new regulations apparently
had little if any effect on prices.
