The dominating spirt must crumble,
and the grave is not the end.
After all, it is pretty hard to hon
estly judge the other fellow.
We often think stronger than we
are willing to express by word. It is 1
indeed a wise man that can hold his
tongue.
We do not believe the railroad man- [
agers nor the railroad employes of
the country want to see a test of
strength to the extent of forcing a
strike of the railway employes. We
do not know, from the standpoint of
physical! possibility, whether or not
the eight-hour day can be applied to
the railway service of the country.
But the question cannot be settled
from the standpoint of stubborness or
physical or mental strength of the
parties directly involved. The peo
ple will finally determine this ques
tion. A whisper echoeing from the re-।
suits of the recent presidential elec
tion is a warning that this country |
is not dominanted by selfishness.

MELANCHOLY DAYS.
The late Mr. Gray said a very fine
thing when he wrote the immortal
line:
“The paths of glory lead but to the
grave.”
But he did not expatiate upon it
sufficiently, not pointing to the obvious
fact that the same paths lead to other
things not nearly so satisfactory as
the tomb, where, at least, one may be
assured that the wicked shall cease
from troubling
He did not take into consideration
the ides of November, and the days
that follow thereon for the unhappy
wretch who has followed the paths
of glory to the liallot box and finds,
himself elected.
For now the glamor of the election
has worn off for the elect; his nostrils.:
no longer expanded with the lust of 1
battle, are contracted as he sniffs the
approach of the man who elected him '
and now wants his guerdon in the
form of a job.
For him- the person who wears his I
blushing honors new upon him—these 1
are the melancholy days.
He has worn off the newness of his
victory and he has received the bills I
he contracted, and has probably suc
ceeded in standing off creditors not
too importunate in view of the pros- i
pect of future payment, and he finds
that he is constrained to roar some I
what gently as the lion of his house
hold.
And he must face the office-seeker.
So he doffs the smiling face he wore
when a few days since he was prone
, to “crook the pregnant hinges of the
1 knee that thrift may follow fawning”
and puts on a disinheriting counten
ance when he is approached by any-
I >ne of that myriad of friends who.
। each and singular, pulled off the vic
tory.
He has jobs to give out, of course,
>ut he knows in his soul that each and
every job was promised in the heat
, >f the campaign— not once, but many
I times.
And even if they had not been
pledged at all they would not suffice
to do more than whet the appetite of
the multitude of candidates.
So that, for the successful candidate
in the election, these arc indeed the
। melancholy days.
He must ruthlessly destroy those]
bonds of friendship that were tied in
• n the days when he could meet Bill
r Jim and slap him on the back and
sk him what he would have, with
ut being suspetced of an ulterior
active.
If he would enjoy that solitude that
. soul thirsts for, he must give over
s normal busine- and go away to
me place remote.
if he seeks solance in the books that
' ire the companions of his better
days, the only cheerful thing he can
,ind is that bit of poetry with which
ibraham Lincoln was wont to keep
own his too exuberant feelings, and
e goes drearily to tied whimngly in
.uiring of the pillow:
"Why should the spirit of mortal be
roud ?"
We don’t know. But frankly, we are
ather glad we were not elected.—St. I
uh Star.
Those who would gloat over the
awnfall of an enemy, creates more
ntmics.
MUST CARE FOR MOTHER
Xs’- -
1 p
k
MMMBi
] Clara Biahoff, twenty years old and
pretty, is looking for n husband who
| will provide for her mother. In des-1
Iterate straits tinuueially the girl says
1 she will try to make the man who 1
j meets her requirements happy.
Here are some of the qualifications:
Tlie man must be between the ages of
twenty-three and thirty. He must earn
at least SSO a week. He must be gen
tle and kind. Ami aimve all he must
provide for her mother.
You might call nil this a “husband
advertisement" if you look at it one
way. but Clara BishofiTs announcement
means more than that. Twenty is not
so very old when it comes to making a
fair living for two. Here is a girl who
tried to make a meager salary do the
impossible. Yestenlny she frankly ad
mitted she had failed.
“For days I faced this." the girl
explained. “Can’t you see how hard it
would be for any girl to come to a
public announcement that she wanted
a husband? It was the hardest thing
1 have ever had to do. But for moth
। er’s sake I mean to see it through
] now.”
