recently returned from the "Field of
Waterloo," came to the fugitive's re
lief. While refreshing at "St. Ronan's
Well" the lover was shot by an un
seen hand and Instantly expired. The
i-broken-hearted maiden was taken by
v5,Waverly" to the nearest inn, where
her spirit passed away as the sad,
sweet strains of the "Lay of the Last
MinBtrel" came faintly through the
air. From one of the "TaleB of My
Landlord," it is learned, that later on
"The Antiquary" discovered the fate
ful jewel, and that "Old Mortality" had
chiseled its symbols on the face of
''Lenore's" tomb.

MONOPOLY UNDESIRABLE
Thore has been a general crusade
by socialistic doctrinaires to change
optional casualty insurance to a state
monopoly.
rIn most states there is permitted
casualty insurance carried by the em
ployer at his own risk, or by taking
out insurance.
The western states have allowed
employers to carry this insurance on
their payrolls with the state or with
competing -insurance companies.
State monopoly of casualty insur
ance means that all competition shall
be eliminated, and all risks for com
pensation of workers is by state.
',In some states employers ( have
sought to do better by th?l, employes
than private insurance cprapanies , or
even the state would do for them.
Competition between the state, the
insurance company and the employer
is probably best for the worker and
gets him the quickest results.
For instance, in states where large
employers carry their own riBks they
try to surpass in giving first aid to
the injured all other plans.
They make an immediate payment
to the injured man's family and dn
case of death provide an immediate
relief and funeral fund.
There is no -waiting for investiga
tion by the state or accidqnt Jnsur.
a nee Company, and casualty compan
ies also try to beat the state.
To give the state a monopoly and
eliminate all forms of competition de
stroys all incentive to education and
accident prevention.
. Free competition draws out the
bost service and prevents oppression
by the state, by any insurance cohi
pany or by the employer.
For the state to take over a mon
opoly" of anything is not in accord
ance with free institutions and sound
Americanism It is paternalism.
GOVERNMENT BY LA W
. PHE Republican Publicity Associa-
tion through its president, Hon.
. Jonathan Bourne, Jr gave out the
y following statement from its Wash-
' ington headquarters:
"Fundamentally, there are two
schools of political V,Uht in the
"United States one t osed of peo
ple who believe Jn government by
law and the other of people who be
lieve in government by men, In the
class of people who belir a in gov
ernment by men we find the advo
cates of. autocracy include not only .
those pdrqpnB in governmental posi
tions who assume to place their own
judgment and whims above the law,
but also those few leaders of indus
try on the one hand and those few
leaders of organized labor on the
other who set out to achieve their sel
fish ends"because they have the pow
er and in disregard of the rights and
welfare of the rest of the people of
the country.
""""The anarchist, otheFwise known as
the I. W. Wi, or Bolshevik, is an ad
vocate of 'direct action' that is, the
enforcement of his own individual
opinion and desire regardless of the
will of the majority. The advocate
of 'direct action' is not always iden
tified with the I. W. W. organization,
for he sometimes gets into official po
sition and proceeds with his 'direct
action' principles in the enforcement
of his individual will regardless of the
rwill of the people as expressed in
form of law. No man who has been
observing has failed to recognize acts
performed by government officials in
the last few months bearing all the
characteristics of 'direct action.' It
is true that they did not drive spikes
in saw logs or put emery dust in the
lubricating qil of mills, but they; none
the less effectively set their own per
sonal judgment above the spirit if not
the letter of the law, to the injury of
property rights just as valuable and
just as sacred as the property right
in a saw mill or an iron working
plant
"It makes lltle difference what
badge a man may wear upon his coat
or what title he may acquire or as
sume; if he is a believer in 'direct ac
tion,' he is in all essential respects
an anarchist and an I. W. W.
" 'Direct action' in the seizure and
partial destruction or Injury of prop
erty, or interests therein, has been
excused upor the plea that it was
necessary as a war measure, but the
more the people of the country study
the facts the more they are coming
to realize that the explanation is an
excuse rather than a reason. Having
made known their condemnation of
'direct action' when exercised by the
more ignorant, and, therefore, less re
sponsible portion of our people, the
sober, thoughtful, and truly patriotic
Citizens should now express in every
way in their power, and at every op
portunity, their condemnation of 'dK
rect action' when exercised by men
in high places. The I. W. W. are
few the advocates of government by
law are many. And the many are on
the side of right and justice.

One of the methods of communica
ting from one officer to another in the
trenches is to give the message to one
of the privates and tell him to "pae
the word along" the lino until it
reaches its destination, viz., the dffi
cer at the Other end. The following
story will show how a serious "Csps
pago can be distorted on its journey
from muth to muth:
Lieutenant A., In charge of one end
of the British line, told the private in
front to "pass the word along" to Lieu
tenant B.: "We are going to advance.
Can you send us reenforcements?"
When Lieutenant B. received the
message it was like this: "We are
going to a dance. Can you send us
three and four-pence?" Strand Magazine.
Doctor. Did that cure for deafness
really help your brother?
Pat Sure enough; he hadn't heard
a sound for years, and the day after
he took that medicine he heard from
a friend In America.

AMONG THE BOOKS
(Continued fiom page 7.) '
ography and three appendices contain
ing many valuable statistics. Several
chapters are devoted to such subjects
as general view of the industry, de
velopment of the sugar beet industry,
the sugar beet plant, conditions for
growing sugar beets.sugar beet rais
ing and community welfare, sugar
making, sugar cane, by products and
world's use and supply of sugar. A
special feature of the book is the
large number of illustrations collect
ed by Dr. Harris from all the sugar
beet producing areas of the United
States. It contains 42 pages, includ
ing 32 plates and a number of charts,
maps, and diagrams which add much
to the practical value of the book.
The author of "Sugar Beets In Am
erica" is by no means an inexperi
enced writer, there having recently
appeared from his pen two books,
"Principles of Agronomy," which is
being used as an agronomy text by
practically all high schools of the
west, and "The Young Man and His
Vocation," which has recently been
added to the list of books being dis
tributed to the United States Expedi
tionary forces by the American Li
brary Association. His latest contri
bution, "Sugar Beets In America" is
easily the most authoritative and
practical treatise on sugar beet pro
duction that has yet been written.
