IN NAME. OF COMMON SENSE
A subscriber no one \voul<i suspect
us being sentimental or excessively
optimistic, and who has long been
apprehensive of the spirit of hospi
tality and greed manifested in pres
ent-day relations between men, is re
joicing. It is because of the sixteen
principles offered by the. United
States Uabor Board as a basis on
which the railroad managers and em
ployes may establish sensible regula
tions and so dispose of the difficulties
which threaten industry if not the
I eace of this country.
“1 have read them twice and expect
to again" he said. "They impress me
as affording solid ground on which to
build. If the parties to the contro
versy cannot get together on that
basis I don’t see how it is possible to
do so. I believe the very large ma
jority of men, when they are able to
understand all the conditions, are dis
posed to be fair."
Those sixteen principles are mign
ty good reading. If any of the inter
ests to which they may apply, wish to
settle the controversy by might, by a
struggle with locked horns, they
won’t wish to read them; others
should, and most, we think, will agree
with the subscriber. Eut when was
a controversy of this nature, a con
troversy such as must, when settled,
give place to relations under which
men may work and live together for
their mutual benefit and the common
good, ever satisfactorily determined
by might over right? Never. And
never will be. The old tryants of
Russia thought they had the people
under heel, continued to think so for
several centuries, and butlded ac
cordingly. What they built was
pulled down over their heads by an
insensate and ignorant mob, that had
it been treated properly, had It been
made able to comprehend, would not
have done so. If might can’t take the
place of right in Russia there is no
place on this earth where it may.
So let us consider those sixteen
principles; receive them with out
stretched hands, and not as did Sam
uel Gompers, with skepticism. True,
if they might be adopted and lived up
to, there would be less of notoriety for
such as make their living at leading
labor. We had, however, the con
viction that he is too big a man, that
he has the cause of labor too near his
heart, that he is too wise and too near
the end of his labors to permit him
self to be swayed by such ignoble
motives. Doubtless he is not con
scious of being. Yet he might at least
have expressed a wish these princi
ples would prove as effective as they
are promising.
His neglect to do that, to react op
timistically, Is not because he was
disappointed at the decision to dis
continue the present intolerable re
strictions that have hampered rail
road management. He and the intel
ligent men composing the railroad or
ganizations were well ‘ aware such
conditions could not continue. He
and they knew- that this same board’s
attitude from the first had been
friendly to labor. He had no criti
cism to offer, and not having that he
did not commit himself to favorable
comment. In assuming that attitude
we think he made a mistake. This
country is a giant with one hand tied
to his back. It needs both hands.
There is no good reason under the
canopy why he shouldn’t have them.
Here is an opportunity and in the
name of common sense and a com
mon patriotism we should try to take
advantage of it.
ADOPT TREATY AND GET BUSY
All things considered it seems ad
visable that the Senate should ap
prove the Colombian treaty. The
amount to be paid Colombia is large
and Colombia’s attitude has not been
such as to merit it. Moreover it is
to be doubted whether she will be
impressed with the idea that we are
doing it because of a sense of recti
tude. If we were doing it as a mat
ter of justice we should have made
the treaty long ago. The conclusion
is that we recognise Colombia’s hos
tility, for several reasons, to be that
which we wish to avoid.
There should have been a proper
draft of a treaty in the first place.
There was no occasion for this coun
try to apologise and had those who
framed the treaty thought more of
their country and less or playing pol
itics they would not have framed it
as they did. That treaty was not ac
ceptable. Now one has been drawn
such that even some of those who
strenuously opposed the other draft
| can and do approve. Considering-the
letter Roosevelt wrote to Senator
'Fall, in which he expressed the hope
for a new and proper treaty, that “if
some such treaty as you suggest
could be negotiated, it would be a
capital thing," there is no occasion to
regard the adoption of this treaty as
an insult to his memory. Those who
are objecting on that ground may
not be using “weasel words” but are
resorting to deceit. It is time to have
this matter over with and get down
to business, such as the budget sys
tem or the revision of the tax laws,
for instance.
Those who instinctively feel aver
sion at sight of cruelty to animals
may not be in need of be-ktnd-to
animals week. There are, however,
the characters being formed, who
have not had the time or the oppor
tunity to acquire the full measure of
intelligence, which should accom
pany the^instinct. Indeed many an
otherwise decent boy seems to pos
sess an instinct for cruelty which
may after all be simply lack of com
prehension of the suffering he inflicts
and not indicate that he will be a
cruel man. Observance of ways and
means to inform him may serve to
prevent cruelty. Through, the print
ed page incidents and stories which
reveal the animal's capacity for
thinking and feeling* are helpful. The
boy, who is fascinated with the nar
rative of a bird building her nest,
the toil and trouble she undergoes to
provide a suitable home and the al
most human intelligence she displays
in her efforts, will be much less like
ly to destroy that home. The lad,
reading of the dog out in' Pennsyl
vania that ,\vas Accustomed to lift
the cap from the cream jar on the
back steps and help himself to the
cream, is likely to have a sort of fel
low feeling.for that dog.
I
The day was windy and raw and
one might have wondered at this
fellow’s happy smile, seeing that he
was on the way for a day’s fishing on
the wind-swept lake, with little lik
lrtiood of bringing back other than
i cold feet, cramped limbs and a face
j reddened iJy unusual exposure. Yet
I he came back smiling, though we
| didn’t notice any fish. And the rea
I son of it, as was later learned, was
! most happily expressed by Bruce
' Barton in lines this young man keeps
i over his desk, where, when he gets
| weary and stale he can see and
■ read them and renew his zest in life.
I He there finds that: “Fishing is liu
l man life epitomized. There is the
water, calm, inscrutable, impenetra
ble,—the symbol of fate,—into which
every man casts his line.” And so it
! goes and as one reads that the fish
j which weren't biting yesterday may
' be biting today he concludes that, “If
one loves life and would continue
' long in it, let him fish.”
Now that everybody is 'agreed
there should be a national budget
system adopted: and now that we
have a full-fledged Republican ad’
ministration to adopt it, are we to
^tave it? Perhaps, however, one
! shouldn’t ask that question; but the
i sooner we get the budget the sooner
; we may know that all the talk about
reducing expenditures and cutting
out extravagance means something,
i asd the sooner the folks back home
! may make up their minds to get
along with less of that political
“bacon.”
Everybody knows how to raise the ;
neighbor's children and direct the j
other nation's conscience.—Provi
dence Journal.
NO, not everybody. President Hard- j
: ing advises that we do our own job
before criticising other countries. “It
ill becomes us,” he says "to express
impatience that the European bellig
erents are not yet in full agreement,
when we ourselves have been unable
; to bring constituted authority into
accord in our own relations to the ■
formally proclaimed peace.”

HEARD WHAT ANOTHER i
WOMAN SAID
Mrs. Afargaret Bonniere of Murray
Street, St. John, N. B., writes: “I
heard a lady saying she bought a
bottle of *Dr. True's Elixir1 for her
children, and it was splendid. I got
a bottle and I think it is great"
The laxative mentioned above is
Dr. True’s Elixir, the Family Laxa
tive and Worm Expeller. It is very I
j pleasant to take; children like it, and
I it is mild in action. No harmful
drugs.
It's surprising to know the number
of youngsters and even grown-ups
who suffer from worms but don't
realize it. Every one needs a good
laxative.
Common symptoms of worms:
Offensive breath, swollen upper Up,
sour stomach, eyes heavy and dull,
itching of the nose, grinding of the
teeth, red points on the tongue, slow
fever.—Adv.

We think the administration has
made it very plain that we yet stand
with our allies and expect Germany
to acknowledge her guilt and make
such reparations as she is able. But
there are some who profess to think
otherwise.
Ponzi’s assets one and a half mil
lions; Ponzi’s liabilities over four and
a quarter millions. This kept in mind
is a better talisman against foolish
speculation than the left hind foot
of a rabbit trapped in a graveyard

The Boston & Maine management
decides those not on the company’s

Where has the management been
that it has not done this before, tak

Either the government, chosen by
the people, or lAbor organization
chosen by a comparatively small
number of the people is to rule Eng

A bit of that Harding good sense is
that Federal aid should not be given
to construction of State highways un
less assurance is had that these high
ways will be maintained.
To settle the rail controversy the
U. S. Labor Hoard prescribes 16

Fills the soul of me up with delight.

Sunday School a Woman’s Idea
Ttie credit of organizing the first
Sunday sohool in the United States is
claimed for a woman—Miss Sarah Colt
who died at her home in Paterson.
N. J., in 1872, at the age of ninety ’
years. Miss Colt's original idea was
to teach the mill boys to read and
write, and from this the school gradu- i
ally grew into a means of exclusive j
religious instruction.
The Old South Meeting House on
Washington street, lioston, was erect
ed in 1729, has played an important
part in the history of the city, and is
often called the “Temple of Free
dom.” It was frequently used as a
meeting place of the. disaffected,
previous to the outbreak of the;
Revolution; and from its doors went I
forth, in 1773, the band of disguised [
Bostonians that threw the tea into
the harbor. During the British occu
pation of Boston in 17T5, the “Old
South” was converted into a riding
school for the cavalry; but, on the
evacuation of the city, it was re
stored to its original use. The church j
barely escaped destruction in the \
Boston fire of 1872; and. at a later
period, was used temporarily as a
postofSee. The Old South. Society j
worshiped there from 1729 to 1875,!
when it removed to a new structure
at the corner of Boylston ad Dart
mouth streets. In 1876, the “Old
South Meeting House" was sold—the
intention being to tear it down and
replace It with a business block. It
was, however, purchased by the pres
ervation committee for $430,000, and
converted Into a loan museum of his
toric relics—including portraits, old
furniture, flan and weapons.

TERM THAT BANISHED ANGER
Appellation Bestowed on “Bachelor
Maids” Put Further Animosity Out
of the Question.
The two Elton sisters, age thirty and
thirty-two and very successful business
women, live next door to the Smith
sisters, about fifty and fifty-two. who
are also retired and given to the occu
pations of crocheting and quilt piec
ing. The Elton sisters speak of them
selves as “old maids,” and the Smith
sisters as "pesky old maids.” in order
to distinguish between them. Also
they are given to much pitying of the
second-class ladies.
But the other evening one of the
Elton sisters, clad in a bungalow j
apron, was out sprinkling the lawn. ,
As she moved around the house she
heard the Smiths in conversation.
“Yes, sister, age has its compensa
tions,” one was saying. “Now look at
those girls next door. They no sooner j
get home than they get into those I
aprons, so scanty that they are im- |
modest. Of course, they’re Just kids, j
but still—”
That was enough for Miss Elton.
With a rush she was in the house.
“Oh, Orace,” she told her sister,
breathlessly, “those Smiths are real ,
nice. We've got to stop calling them
pesky old tyaids.”
And now generously the Eltons
speak of them as “the other old maids"
Nature’s Unchanging Way
Outstanding ability is the reward
of using the power one has. The
best athlete in the world will lose
power by hanging around. Resistance
is the response of nature to testings.
Difficulties are never made easy bv
giving up. Nature demands that men
gain strength by using strength. Turn :
what you have to account and nature
will add to your store with interest.
The more y|u love the alrger capacity
you have to love. The more you think
the keener your thinking ability be
comes. The harder and more sanely
you work the more you are able to.
There's no secret about it. It's just
nature's way of saying “to him that
hath shall be given.” And more than
that, if you want anything from na
ture you must bestir yourself and get
it. Nature is not a grudging giyer, but
she makes men earn all they get.
“Fifth Monarchy Men”
The “Fifth Monarchy Men” were
an extreme sect in England or the
period of the Puritan revolution,
largely found in the army which sup
ported Cromwell, in the belief that his
government was the beginning of the
"Fifth Monarchy.” during which the
millennial reign of Christ on earth
would take place. The previous four
monarchies were the Assyrian, Per
sian, Grecian and Roman. But such
fanatics could not but be fh opposi
tion to any established government.
