Listen, World!
By Elsie Robinson

Today those men are dead.
Some doubtless died in decent,
quiet beds. But others had no
chance to choose their spots.
They took their death just as
it came beside the pan that
held disputed gold across
the deck that held an extra
ace before some bar or
brothel, wet lip stiffening while
it grinned, hot eye glazing while
it glanced.
So, one by one they went.
Now they're all gone. No bull
lets whistle down the empty
street. No picks and shovelS
clang beside the creek. The
hands that shot and shoveled
are no more. But still their
record stands, in tortured stone.
A Story of Hate
This gaunt, gouged granite
these contorted crags-those
lodges crumbling over secret,
stagnant pools - hold all the
story of their greed and hate,
their frantic struggle and their
furious lust. The rocks they
shamed, shame them-now they
are dead.
And yet above those rocks,
their church still stands. They
built that church, between their
brawls and blasts to satisfy
some vague and haunting dream.
Their gold is scattered and their
flesh is dead BUT THE
DREAM LIVES ON.
They lived like beasts in pits
they dug with their own hands
But high above those pits.
set a church.
And always men dig pits
with their own hands!
But always, too, they make
q place to dream
OF peace and truth, and
kinder, cleaner ways
And always, though flesh
dies, THE DREAM LIVES ON.

high, unmercenary plane that
it was formerly entitled to,
with what would be called in
other lines of business getting
money under false pretenses.
Why should a regular patient,
when he is unfortunate enough
to get sick at night be held up
for an additional charge even
though his regular doctor is put
to additional trouble.
Stick to good doctors who
charge reasonably and treat
you decent, for those are the
ones that are interested more
in their profession than in
the dollar sign, and keep up
with modern practice for their
hearts are in their noble pro-
fession, while those specialists
who charge heavily usually are
those who mingle socially to
make contacts with what they
themselves must regard as
suckers. If any doctor can do
us no good, he should be man
enough to say so and possibly
suggest another who he knows
has had much more expert
ence with that type of case.
Fortunately, most physicians
are men of high character and
conscientious. Let's watch out
that we do not fall into the
hands of the others, and as to
those gouges who give us no
value for our money we can

ONCE-OVERS
Grumbling is Easy


Do you grumble about your
outlays and, like many per-
sons at the present time, think
how you can cut expenses?
Instead, how about thinking
how to increase your. income?
Increasing your earnings
would necesSitate greater effort
on your part and you don't
care to consider working harder.
Rather than exert yourself
more and get very tired you
would rather cut your expendi-
lures.
1t would take extra work to
get more money and you don't
want to work any harder nor
put in more hours in day.
You have grown to value
your leisure but not as time to
make yourself more valuable in
health and mentality. Leisure
means a lazy time to you.
Additional income would re-
lieve you of much cause for
friction in your home.
But you would rather shut
your ears to entreaties and
knowledge of what your
family really needs to make
them comfortable and happy.
You want to do what you en-
joy but you can't see yourself
working any harder than you
can help to keep the home 60
ing-it is easier to grumble and
cut.

Something did happen. The
fury Of man gone mad for gold
happened. Once earth lay
thick-ten, thirty, one hundred
feet upon these ledges. Pines
lowered, smoky dark, against
the dreaming sky. Quail called
and scuttled through the chap
paral. Larks nested in the
flower-tangled grass. Deer
slipped-a file of dappled
shadow-to the pool. The air
was like a deeper, warmer pool.
Then someone found the
color in a creek and, overnight,
the rush was on. Down from
the Mother Lode towns to the
north, up from the San Joaquin
Valley ranches to the West,
over the Sierra Nevada ranges
to the East, they came
in curious trickles in
hurrying groups in racing
waves of men. And fell upon

Says U. s. Should Probe
Price of Coal

Price of Coal
Editor, Times:
The people now should call
upon the Government to en-
force the law and issue an in
junction with enforcement of a
law for the peoples protection.
This combination and the
agreements as DIVER tised
should be investigated now and
later by Congress, and they
should resort to the paddock in
order to secure the full re-
suits as this notice is a re-
straint of trade and as Con-
gress passed a bill in 1921 re-
quiring 2,24O pounds, for a ton
of coal.
This advances the cost to the
consumer on every load and on
the ninth load additional extra
cost. If the price of coal is
not affected by the loss Of
weight, why reduce the legal
ton? The prices of coal in
crease during the coal-using
season and why? Surely in
contracting for coal at the
mines the price is set for the
season.
Railroad and boat rates are
set, and the cheapest kind of
labor delivers this coal here.
So this action upon their part
calls for immediate action to
dissolve all price-making agree
ments that are not legal and
enforce the law against these
kind of trusts.
