Believe me. if all those endearing young charms, Which I gaze on so fondly today. Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms, Like fairy-gifts fading away! " Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art. Let thy loveliness fade as it will. And around the dear ruin ea<jj wish of my heart Would entwine itself verdantly still. It is not while beauty and youth are thine own. And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear. That the fervor and faith of a soul may be known. To which time will but make thee more dear! O the heart that has truly loved never forgets. But as truly loves on to the close. As the sunflower turns to her god when he sets The same look which she turned when he rose! —Thomas Moore.

ENFORCING NO EMBARGO HERE ' (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Staple Shortage Here. , Whether there would be difficulty , in getting certain kinds of food In this city in case all the freight trains on the steam roads were to cease operations is an interesting point. There seems to be a difference of > opinion among business men here, as • to whether the railroad strike.if it materializes, will seriously affect , foodstuffs here. All are agreed that there is no dan- ■ ger of a food shortage in this city, owing to the fact that food can be brought in over the traction lino, while fresh goods can be obtained (Torn the country. On the other hand it fs the opinion of some who have to do with the handling of foodstuffs here that there might be a shortage felt in staple lines, such as are being brought in continually over the steam Hues. The strike probably would have to be of considerable duration, however, before any shortage would take on setffous proportions. In the larger cities, where milk, and fresli %oods will be cut off because of the ’ strike, the situation from a food standpoint will be critical immediatei ly after the strike is called.

He hopes to be able to assure the brotherhoods that the fundamental causes for their striking will be removed by that time. Should the president fail to get absolute assurances from congressional leaders that the eight hour law will be passed by Saturday night, he is expected to urge the brotherhoods to postpone the strike order for ten davs at least to give congress time to pass the legislation lie has suggested. The legislative settlement even if it does not include all demands made by the brotherhoods, will be acceptable to the four hundred thousand employees. such settlement. A. B. Garretson. chief of the conductors, told the senate interstate commerce commission today, must include the eight hour day law, 9 Garretson was today first speaker at the hearing to consider testimony from the brotherhood chiefs, the railroad presidents and the shippers be fore legislative action is taken. Garretson served notice that the brotherhoods opposition to legislation like the Canadian disputes act is unswer ving. "No influence can change our ],o: i lion on this.’ he said. “As for the question of authority."* said Garretson, “I could call off the strike. But i that would be only through the satis factory settlement such as I have mentioned.” BULLETIN Washington, Aug. 31 —(Special tc Daily Democrat) —It rests entirely with the railroad workers to say whether the mails shall move, post master general Burleson said todav. “If tjie employees say they will move the mail trains.” he said, “we will make the railroads carry the mails.” “If any other train moves they will carry the mails,” If the men won’t move the mails they wgn’t.
