Goodrich a few nights ago to returned service men struck a keynote which undoubtedly found a response in the hearts of the veterans and the persons attending the banquet. He pleaded for a stabilization of conditions in this country and indicated the only sure method of attaining it cessation from industrial strife and a pronounced faith in the institutions of this country. All of us have become entirely too restless since the war and many of us have drifted far from the safe moorings of our democratic principles. A return to the ideals of the fathers and confidence in the efficacy of American institutions to solve all problems is what we need. Gov. Goodrich did much in his speech to strengthen and confirm this belief in the fundamental soundness of our government. Class strife is iniquitous. It leads into the morass of anarchy and chaos. A fair readjustment that is based on the eternal principle of right and justice and not on group control and interest will come. The common sense of the American people will bring it about. Lawlessness and appeal to force are bound to fail. They carry within themselves the germs of defeat. T.ut truth and justice will prevail despite all the mouthinjrs of radical agitators and the turmoil cr.grendered by superficial thinkers. Governor Goodrich is right in asking the American people to solve the problem of reconstruction and readjustment with the same spirit 'hat won the war. In that crisis America stood united, all of us had one common object. Let us apply that same spirit to the vexing problems of today and we will rejoice in their solution tomorrow. Respect for law is another lesson we must rel'?arn. It seems incredible that some men in our country forget themselves occasionally to indulge in flagrant disrespect of the very statutes they helped put on the book. In the hour of provocation, it is well to remember that our laws provide for an orderly method of trying the criminal, and that absolutely nothing is gained by lynching or rioting. Every instance of this kind helps to further the unrest. We need moderation and forbearance now in a greater degree than ever before.

ejection of that power so completely that the world would be made safe against a repetition of any such assault in the future. In that effort the United States became the decisive factor and it should be the same in insuring the peace and safety of nations for the future." The Journal continues : The greatest need of the time, in this country as well as those that have suffered far more, is to maintain their mental and moral balance and not act like lunatics. Labor strikers or capital "profiteers" in England or France or Italy at such a time must seem crazy to sober Americans. In Germany or Russia nothing may be surprising. There are terrible reasons for the mental and moral upsetting over there. But it seems as though Americans ought to be capable of keeping their heads and maintaining their balance, at least recovering it when shaken by the sudden changes of the last months. It is largely a foreign element that makes it so difficult, but even that ought to be brought to reason. It includes many who are intelligent and well-balanced, and it is only necessary for them to gain control of their forces. Capital may have been much at fault in past conflicts with labor, and there is need of bringing about better relations and a reasonable' agreement upon rights and interests ; but in this present strike situation there is only one side that sound public sentiment can support, whatever it may cost for the time being. It is necessary for that situation to be overcome or abandoned. Then there may come conferences and possible agreements that will restore sanity of conduct.

He had official law duties which he did not shirk; he appeared In society more tha:: many busy men: each year hi nam was signed to so many articles and reviews that It seemed incredible that he could find time for anythlnar f-ise. The explanation lay In Scott's ability to concentrate. He knew what he wanted to say and he spent little time hunting- for phrases or polishing: his sentences. There is a familiar anecdote of a visitor to Edinburgh, dining with convivial friends and looking out of a window at a hand which went back and forth, back and forth, across sheets of paper, "it never stops," said his host. . . "It Is the same every night." The visitor suggested that it was perhaps a diligent clerk. "No, boys," his friend replied. "I well know whose hand it is 'tis Walter Scott's." Sometimes Scott was so racked bv

. . , T ... pain that he could not write. "The Bride of Lammcrmoor and "Ivanhoe" were dictated while the author was suffering so intensely from cramps that between sentences he screamed aloud iii agony. But when he was begged to stop and rest, he- answered, -Nay, ilht only see that the doors are fast"

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

SOMETIMES

Sometimes we feel like total losses and full fledged failures but that is usually Just before we discover exactly where we are at. Sometimes we get to thinking of our own little world of selfish interests bo deeply that we isolate ourselves from every beautiful chance in life. Sometimes we forget our "Tbank-you's" and "Let-me-help-you's." Sometimes tiredness creeps on and we are thotless and cross and unlivable, nnd maybe meaxi and thus build a fence around our finest interests, so that those who would help us most, can't find us to help. Sometimes we do really worth while things then spoil them all in one J1! sw op of i.v.pulse all unintended. Some, irues v.-c start off all wrong and then, have not the courage to turn around and begin anew. Sometimes we get our "wires crossed," and sometimes our brain feels fagged, and our thots lie down, and our feet grow cold. Sometimes we don't know what is the matter with us but we do know that SOMETHING is! Sometimes we wonder about everything. But all of these things are natural sometimes. So when we feel them coming on, let's kill them in the bud!

WAVERLEY BY SIR WALTER SCOTT

Condensed by Henry T. Schnittklnd, Ph. D

Let us for a few thrilling minutes transport ourselves to Scotland in 1743, when its Highland forests teemed with the caves of robbers and its

moors resounded with the shouting of

pipes." The mountaineers rouse themselves with the hum and bustle of a multitude of bees, arming and ready to swarm out of their hives.

The insurgents win the battle and

A Crazy World?

In a v.'ll considered editorial the New York Journal of Commerce asks: "Has the world gone f-razy?"' and goes on to say that it seerm as though the insane kaiserism of the German nation, in an effort to rule the commerce of the world and gain control for extending its dominion, has nearly upset the sanity of the people of other countries. "Even those of the United states have not escaped the infection, due mainly to foreign elements that have failed to become Americanized. It only requires reason and mental balance to understand the situation brought about by the most abominable war in human history, precipitated by that infernal kaiserism at Jierlin. While it was going on sane nations were drawn together for their defense and for the

Better Days Will Come Not so very long ago we thought the German militarists had all the patent rights to cruelty and frightfulness. . We couldn't conceive how human mortals could be so callous as were the violators of Belgium. As for ourselves, we could never be regarded as resembling them in any way. Now, as city after city adds to our shame, as Omaha has done, following the lead of Washington and Chicago and Boston, we must realize and admit that the unthinkable, the unendurable, has actually come to pass. In this peacefully-disposed nation of normally kind-hearted people, there is a considerable element of the low, the mean, the cruel, who welcome opportunities to let loose their brutal ten-

dencies. -w. j Probably the whole number of those who ! would be vicious from choice is relatively small. There are others, of weak character, who are j ashamed on the morrow for the rash deeds inspired by mob action of the night before, i We are living in an atavistic period, a throwi back to the days when it was all a part of the ; day's work to kill an offending neighbor. The j fire that the Germans kindled, instead of dying out with the signing of the armistice, has been j burning more furiously than ever in lands out- ' side the war zone. We are having a bit of a new i j Dark Age. Well we shall put out the fire presently. Every victory of law and orderly procedure over j violence, every failure of attempts to snatch ad- ! vantage Ty brute strength, every demonstration that the majority will not be dominated by minj orities, brings us nearer a return of the reign of ; peace, mutual tolerance, and common sense.

What Other Editors Say

THE STRIKE INVESTIGATION From the Chicago News. N-U serious is-tie of fact ha? been developed by the inuTtigatkm of t lie steel t-trike by the labor committee of th federal senate. The testimony i f K. 1 f . Gary, chairman f the United States Steel corporation's direct oi ate. does not differ materially from hat of John Fitzpat rick or that of Samuel Gompers. The great strike in i ho basic industry was initiated ly outsiders; a Miiall minority of the employes of the l.'nited States Steel corporation had been organized by representatives of the American Federation of Labor and ibe- hold of the trade union leaders even on that minority was so precarious and weak that they did not dare postpone the walkout order at the urgent request of the president of the I'nited States. There were no pressing juestions that demanded immediate settlement. The men had not complained of their wages the highest in the history of the industry or of their hours, although many of them worked twelve hours a day and a considerable proportion of the workers wont to the mills seven days a week conditions that admittedly demand correction. The strike, then, as a matter of fact, was called to strengthen the union and enhance the authority and prestige of the organizers of that union. To say this and even John Fitzpatrick virtually said it to the senate tommittee is, of course, to condemn the strike as unnecessary, ill-timed and therefore unwarranted. Mr. Gary's ideas concerning trade unionism, as expressed to the committee, may be summarized as follows: Men have a perfect right to organize, but the United States Steel corporation management does not deem it vise to deal with unions and to make contracts with them. It is so firmly opposed to the closed shop that it is determined to prevent the slightest approach to or encouragement of that plan of operating industrial plants. To receive a delegation of union men as such is to accord indirect recognition of the closed shop principle. If the employes of the company, unionized, otherwise organized or unorganized, should ask Mr. Gary, or any other official of tho corporation, to receive them and entertain proposals or complaints touching their interests they

. would be received and heard without hesitation. There are employers who regard these ideas as old fashioned. Some think that Mr. Gary committed a tactical ! error in refusing to receive the union officials and grant ; them a courteous hearing on the distinct understanding I that the closed shop was not to be considered an Issue : in any event. These aspects cjf the case, however, have j nothing to do with the present issue the reasonablei ness or unreasonableness of the steel strike. On this ! issue the public has already passed judgment. The strike I was a blunder, as Mr. Gompers has admitted by implica

tion. It cannot be called off too soon, cconk f The questions that really challenge attention in the steel industry the twelve hour day, the seven day week, Cue alleged interference of the Steel corporation with the

COMPLAINT AGAINST NATURE'S SLOWNESS From the Kansas City Star. "The whole world has gone on strike against discipline," Dr. H. H. Powers wrote in an article or The Starlast summer, surveying the unrest of Europe. He might have added that a good part, of its grievances was essentially against the slowness with which the world makes progress, against the tardiness of the process of evolution. The coal miner who thinks he ought to get a good income for working thirty hours a week and the nation of Central Europe that believes it is the victim of injustice because it isn't recognized as a great power are suffering from the same trouble. Both of them are looking for a short cut where there is none. Both are impatient at the slowness with which progress comes. The w'orid might have been a place where things came much easier than they do and where all nations reached a high stage of civilization at the same time. But it isn't. The development of the " race is a slow job and the road of progress is wet with sweat.

Fergus Mac-Ivor, whose handsome face "resembles a smiling summer's day in which, however, one can detect signs that it may thunder and lighten before evening." His love for his beautiful and accomplished sister. Flora Mac-Ivor, is equalled only by his ambition to restore the exiled Stuart family to the throne. Ferguson entertains Waverley at a picturesque banquet attended by hunelreds of the clansmen of Mac-Ivor. After the banquet Flora asks Waverly io meet her in her favorite haunt near a cascade. As Edward approached the waterfall, "the sun, now stooping in the west, seemed to add more than human brilliancy to the full expressive darkness of Flora's eyes. Edward thought he had never, even in his wildest dreams, imagined a picture of such exquisite loveliness." Conscious cf her charms in this "Eden in the wilderness," Flora sing3 to him a stirring martial song which she accompanies on a small Scottish harp, the melody blending harmonious

ly with the sound of the waters of the cataract. Waverley. bewitched by her loveliness, proposes to Flora, who promptly rejects him. Disappointed, but not discouraged, Waverley gladly accepts an invitation 1o remain at Fergus MacIIvor's mansion for a few day. While attending a stag-hunt he sus

tains an injury which keeps him in bed for some time. On his recovery he is ; both astonished and incensed to learn ; that the colonel of his regiment has I reduced him tn the rans for "absence ; vithout leave.-' His anger is a.egravatj ed by a letter from his father who. i through a political blunder, has lost 1 ;i. high position in the court of King

George. At the same time, too, Ro.-e P.radwardine writes to him that her

father, the baron, has been obliged to

flee in order to escape arrest for his adherence to the cause of the exiled

I Stuarts. Despite these apparent acts of in- ! .nistice Waverly remains loyal to King I George and decides to return home, j On the way to England, however, he ! is arrested and charged with desertion i nnd treason. Knowing himself to be

! innocent, he is mystified at this turn

of affairs. What plot has been hatched egainst him, and by whom? His stupefaction increases when he is rescued by a band of Highlanders. Who are these Highlanders? And why do they interest themselves in him? These

j and similar questions perplex his be

wildered senses. Wounded during the rescue, he is nursed back to health in a peasant's hut by a young girl, who always manages to make her escape whenever he tries to catch a glimpse of her. When his health is restored, the Highlanders take him to Edinburg. where he meets his friends, Fergus Mac-Ivor end the Baron of Bradwardine, among the insurgents who are making an attempt to recover the throne for their gallant leader, the. exiled Prince

Charles Edward. Waverley now feels

compelled to join this army. Just before enlisting, Waverley tries once more to win Flora's love, but is again repulsed. He therefore throws himself heart and soul into the cause of the young prince. The army is about to engage in its first battle. The sun has just risen. The rocks, and the very sky itself, "resound with the clang of the bag'

Rose Bradwardine who nursed him. It was Rose, also who had paid Donald Bean Lean with her mother's jewelry in order to induce him to rescue Waverley after his arrest for for such devotion. Edward asks the Baron of Bradwardine for his daughter's hand. He c?-.n now marry her in security; for, thanks to the kindness of Colonel Talbot ami other influential Englishmen, both he and the baron have been pardoned. It takes the loquacious baron to tell Rose of Edward's love for her. It takes Edward just five minutes to convince her of it. Their happiness would now be complete but for the sad fate of Fergus Mac-Ivor, who has been condemned to death. He faces the executioner unflinchingly, expressing no regret for his fate, but only the hope that "they will set my head on the Scotch gae, that I may look, even after death, to the blue hills of my own jjountry, w hich I love so dearly." With this shadow to mar the sunshine of their happiness, Edward and Rose are married. Thus we come to the end of the romantic tale ,and we must again return to the drab reality of our everyday existence. But before so doing, let us together with Flora Mac-Ivor, who has joined the Scottish Benedictine nuns in Paris, bid the happy couple good luck and adieu!
