AND BRIGHT RED The good thing about American prosM.: ity is that it spreads further ai »lher from the great control so1 • s of wealth. In undent days, a r uobleman in hi* palace wo* si ied by ignorant, miserable, h . !-v©d, barefoot peasant*. 1* . tr -wner of a great factory ir. .v England had the "satisfac ti 04" knowing as he lay in bed : b< daybreak that the men and ,, ao. m were already on the way to j hib .Mill to make money for him arm earn for themselves barely eno.igh to keep alive. f That has changed, and will cl '.i ge more. Millions of men go t< o.k in automobiles. And the a :obile widens their sphere of 1:. A carpenter or bricklayer c; ork comfortably anywhere v ' fifteen or twenty miles of h veiling. That change is as i hint, almost, as the invention o i :.e locomotive. Tne Dives-Lazarus dinner parly i >ver.

His wife, who changed to the wheel to drive the car home, was prosper ous-looking and proud to take her husband to his work. Those were colored porters of the Southern Pacific Pullman cars and their wives. What a change from the days of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and the change is as great for white workers as it Ls for colored men. __ Seventy five years ago pious New Eng landers, excited about “abolition” and the terrible lot of poor black slaves in the South, were told by the late Albert Brisbane, “By all means free the black slaves in the South. But what about white slaves in your own New England factories? What about the white women who go to work in your cotton mills before daylight and Sit home after dark? It is worse an black slavery, because the black slave owner keeps him fed and healthy that he may continue to live and work, whereas you don:t care what happens to your white slaves, since you can get, for noth ing, more when they die.” Slavery can be and has been as bad on a “wage basis” as on a basis of physical slave ownership. Modem industry, highly produc tive, latency organised, immense ly profitable, takes a step toward civilisation when it allows those chat do the work and produce the comforts to have some comfort fdV themselves. Tho^e colored women, driving their husband* to work, in good automobiles, wiil cause the foolish to ask, “Pear me, what ls the world coming to?" It is coming to better days, greater happiness for the crowd ana greater security for the few that slam off the cream. « Certain clergymen are accused of being “red.” Their accusers want them investigated by a Con gressional Judiciary Committee. A clergymen is “red” when he doesn’t believe that a whale swal lowed Jonah and coughed him up on the land. He is “red” if he believes that the advice to give all to the poor was really meant seriously. He is “red” if he doubts that Joshua made the sun stand still in its trip around the earth, in spite o? the fact that it doesn’t go around the earth. He i3 “red” if he says the four angels could not have stood on the four corners of the earth because it hasn’t four corners.

' msa fyquftg Tom Wilsonj 68f Guide of the Canadian Rockies> I\lAK£ LOUfSE. CAHACHA* GOC*/£S The world moves so fast nowa days that few remember that there was no real trans-continental Can ada until the Canadian Pacific was built in 1885, and less than half a century after the last spike was driven by Lord Strathcona, Canada is one of the most important units in the British Empire and, with 'one exception, the best customer the United States has in trade. [Tom Wilson, a mere youngster of [68, belongs to the days well-re [membered when there was no ! trans-continental railway in Can [ada and when from Winnipeg to what is now Vancouver, there were no inhabitants, except buffaloes, In dians and a few Hudson’s Bay Company employes. __ While still in his teens Mr. Wil son joined the North West Mount ed Police and entered the vast ter ritory which now embraces the provinces of Saskatchewan and Al berta The lure of the prairies and later the mountains, implanted t^eir subtle call to penetrate be /%W Guips] yond in the spirit of this young man. He left the Mounted Police because it was not exciting enough. About this time he heard that a party of explorers had started out to find a route for the Canadian Pacific Railway to be built from coast to coast and joined them as head packer. This life suited Tom Wilson; he wanted to explore, to know what lay beyond each hill and mountain summit. Today in his 68th year he still hears the call of his boyhood days, and as then obeys, for last summer he blazed new trails. There is still another ./ . w trail He wishes to make to a lake , that at present has none. * # >1 It was Tom Wilson who discov- ] ered Lake Louise, that gem of the \ Canadian Rockies, in 1882, and he states it is just as lovely to him now as when he came upon it un expectedly the first time. In this same year he discovered Emerald Lake, and it is through Mr. Wil-< son's desire to know what lay be yond, that he was the first white man to visit Mt. Assiniboine in 1893. This mountain, 11,860 feet high, is in one of the most spectac ular sections of the Canadian Rockies and through this region the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies will have their annual ride next summer. Tom Wilson is a member of the Trail Riders and at, the annual meet two years ago in' the Yoho Valley, at Takakkavy’ Falls, a bronze bas relief was dedi cated to him, a monument to the man who is still cutting trails that others may enjoy what he has rev-, eled in for forty-five years—scen ery unrivaled anywhere. - A City Schools Draw Many From Country, Says H.

Herman W. Nelson, heating and ventilating expert of Moline.

Children in city schools, where classrooms are supplied with warmed out-of-doors air. evenly distributed bv mpchanicnllv oper ated and controlled heatinp and ventilating systems have been shown to weigh more and possess more resistance to disease, in acMi* tion to having nil the educational benefits of splendidly equipped, up to-date school plants.’* J4erman Vi Nelson KELLY MILLERS’ AUTHENTIC HISTORY OF * A GREAT NEW WORLD WAR HISTORY In addition to Its containing a graphic account of the War, includes many chapters on subjects of vital interest.
