Spring.
When you’ve said farewell to win
ter,
And the snows all disappear;
When the little buds are swelling,
Then you know that spring is
here.
Spring, with all it’s Joy of living,
Winter’s moro6e days are gone;
And the spirit of ambition,
Calls anew, “go on and on.”
In every human existence,
Comes a springtime with this call;
Make the most of it, my brother,
After each spring comes a fall.
Every bud that blooms in spring
time,
Later fades, to bloom no more;
And returns to build the soil,
When its living work is o’er.
Like the buds, our days our num
bered.
Spring and fall touch everyone;
Will we have reached our life's
ideal
When our living work is done?
Let the spring enter your spirit,
Let your soul burst forth and
sing,
Opportunity is waiting.
And your chance is now: ’tis
Spring.
—Ethel M. Walter, in the Path
finder.
River Figure# Suggest Action
From the Kansas City Star.
The outcome of the Missouri
/iver tonnage survey affords ample
confirmation of all the claims that
have been made for waterway bene
fits. It is at once a challenge to re
newed alertness in preparing for
river navigation. The survey was
made in a thorough, businesslike
manner. It was in the responsible
hands of representatives of the de
partment of commerce. The show
ing is impressive and it can be ac
cepted as a reliable indication of
the traffic that will be available,
once barge service is established.
The tonnage figures fully justify
a determined effort for a substan
tially larger sum for barge lines
equipment than the $3,000,000 sug
gested. Experience on the Missouri
river shows that it is unwise to
attempt barge service without fa
cilities reasonably acequate for the
traffic available.
River navigation has passed the
experimental stage. It is now a gen
uine business enterprise. Shippers
have confidence in it and are eager
to obtain its benefits. The Missouri
undertaking ought to be launched
with a full recognition of these
facts. That constitutes another call
for activity.
In the light of the business show
ing made, the Missouri Valley ter
ritory will look to congress for a
barge appropriation that will come
somewhere near taking care of the
needs of the traffic.

Prom the Chicago News.
A few years ago a Chicago citizen
Jt Italian birth went with his wife
to Italy for a visit. They were
much distressed by the poverty of
the masses of the people of their
native land. Contrasting the hard
conditions there with the plenty to
which thev had grown accustomed
in their adopted country, they real
ized keenly the blessings that had
some to them on American soil.
This realization they expressed fer
vently to each other. Landing in
New York on their return, the wife
fell a few steps behind her husband
as they left the pier. Turning, he
saw that she had dropped to the
ground and was kissing it. He said
ss he lifted his wife tp her feet:
“I. too, feel like doing Ihat.”
The wife is now a widow. The
husband waa borne to his grave thr

POVERTY.
By Owgan.
Poverty is a great evil in any
state of life; but poverty is never
felt so severely as by those who
have, to use a common phrase,
“seen better days.” The poverty
of the poor Is misery, but It is
endurable misery; it can bear
the sight of men. The poverty of
the formerly affluent is unendur
able; it avoids the light of the
day, and shuns the sympathy of
those who would relieve it; it
preys upon the heart, and cor
rodes the mind; it screws up
every nerve to such an extrem
ity of tension, that one cool look
—the averted eye even ol a casual
acquaintance know In prosperity
—snaps the chord i once, and
leaves the self-despised object of
it a mere wreck of man.
other day after an impressive fun
eral ceremony attended by thou
sands. When he lay dead In his
home 10,000 persons passed his cof
fin in a single day to look for the
last time upon his face. For his
friendly helpfulness had endeared
him to a large and populous section
of the city. Because of his gifts to
them at Christmas time hundreds
of children called him "Santa
Claus.” And the priest at his
church testifies that the influence
of “Diamond Joe” commonly was
enlisted when some young man of
parish needed to be recalled to his
religious obligation.
“Diamond Joe” Esposito in his ef
forts to be a good American many
years ago found an exemplar in
Governor Deneen. His devotion to
the man who had won his regard
and confidence persisted to the last
moment of his life through gooc
and ill political fortune. He suf
fered calumny and persecution un
waveringly through successive polit
ical campaigns rather then desert
the Deneen banner, though he had
nothing to gain save the conscious
ness that he was upholding ideals
of public service which aDpealed to

remained unshaken though the lines
were so redrawn in his section of
the city that they tended to break
that leadership.
That forceful and pic
turesque leader of his people
carried no weapons and owned none.
He was busily promoting his can
didacy for ward committeeman
when two assassins shot him down
in the street a few steps from his
home. “He had no enemies.’’ say
those who knew him best. Clearly
his deliberate assassination striking
ly illustrates a startling phase of
the present political situation in
Chicago.

The Universal Draft.
Indianapolis,—A call to duty by
the national commander of the
American Legion. Edward E. Spal
ford. to every citizen of the United
States, for the insurance of per
manent peace by supporting the
universal draft measure now before
congress, was made public at na
tional headquarters here in com
memoration of the anniversary of
America's entry into the World war,
April 6, 1917. The message reads:
"This day we should look back
ward 11 years when our country
faced the greatest crisis in oui his
tory, and every state was mobilizing
its youth to meet it. Our young
men were drawn into the bloodiest
conflict the world has yet expeu
enced. Thev served with sacrifice
and suffering in the trenches and
on the battle flefts. Thev did their
full duty.
“We now have another duty. Just

In peace. We can keep that faith
by helping sateguard the future
with a permanent insurance against
war. We can help make it impossible
lor some people to shout loY war,
then, refusing to go, throw their
efforts into business and make huge
profits.
“There is no better way of keep
ing iaith than by enacting the uni
versal draft law. It should be done
at the present session of congress.
This law will insuie equal service
lor all. prolits for none, without
expense to maintain and will do
more toward making other nations
avoid confronting us with the nec
essity of going into war than any
thing else that can be devised.
“It is the personal duly of every
citizen now to become familiar with
the universal draft, the Capper
Johnson bill. H. R. 8313 and S. 1289.
It is the duty of every citizen to
understand how the universal draft
will protect our children of tomor
row against slackers and profiteers
if war comes, and, most important,
will prevent war by seeing that
there is no one in this country who
can profit while others fight for
them.
“Do you knew the history of how
the lack of this legislation cost our
country countless lives and treas
ures in all of our wars of the past?
Do you knew that. 20.000 new mil
lionaires were created in the last
war, while the young men of our
country were serving for |1.10 a

sonal duty to become familiar with
the great advancement for per
manent peace that this universal
draft legislation will make possible?
Ask a Legion post about it. And
if you believe in "floing everything
possible to bring about peace for

Carnegie's Tip to Lauder.
Sir Harry Lauder in the Saturday
Evening Post.
Andrew Carnegie one night came
to my dressing room at New York.
He was astonished and delighted to
meet in me a man smaller than
himself, and said so w’ith great glee.
1 denied that I u?as shorter in
stature than he and we decided to
settle the argument by measuring
heights against the dressing room
door. Before Andrew took up his
position for Tom Valla nee to take
his he'ght he said that if he beat
me he would give me a good top on
the Stock Exchange.
Overhearing this, I think Tom de
cided there and then that the steel
magnate would win. In my case Tom
gave the verdict in favor of Mr.
Carnegie by a tenth of an inch.
“Buy United States Steel com
mon,” whispered the millionaire on
saying goodnight.
Next day I bought a thousand at
$32 and forgot all about the trans
action for several weeks; in fact I
was back at London before United
States Steel Common was brought
to my memory by hearing some fel
lows speak about it.
"What is it standing at, today?”
I asked excitedly. Round about 42. I
was told. I couldn't get to the near
est telephone quick enough to or
der my broker to sell tny lot.
Almost without a halt this United
States Steel common went to some
thing like $90, and every day for
months after I sold out I didn't
know whether to laugh or cry.
Q. Why is New York called
Gotham? L. S.
A The term Gotham is Replied
to New York satirically. The allusion
is to a parish by this name in Eng
land noted for the simplicity of its
inhabitants, which has passed into
a proverb. In the lflth century a
collection of stoi tea said to be by
Dr. Andrew Borde was made about
them including the hymn about the
Throe Wise Men of Gotham. The
term was first u»ed by Washington
Irving in Salmagundi In 1807.
