And go dancing as they will.

That is sometimes back of pleas-

The little lads shaU laugh
And the world grow glad to hear
The singing end the sound
Of their laughter and their
cheer.
For the little lads are living In
the blossom and the smile.
And they'll know so much to

OF SELF; MORE OF
NATION
mS the war in Europe going
to bring Americans closer
r together and cause them
to think less of their individu
al affairs and more of the na
tion? Some fine suggestions
along this line were made yes
terday by President Wilson in
a speech :
"I believe that certain
spiritual regeneration is
going to come out of this
thing. We have been
thinking too much about
our individual selves and
too little about the coun
try of which we consti
tute a part
"God forbid that we
should be drawn into war,
but if we should be, Am
erica would seem once
more to shake herself out
of a dream to say 'Did any
man dream that we were
asleep? Did any man
deem that we had for
gotten the traditions of
America? Did any man
deem that he could tam
per with the honor and
integrity of the United
States? And in the great
voice of enthusiasm
which would be raised all
the world would stand
once more thrilled to hear
the voice of the new
world asserting the stand
ards of justice and lib
erty." While this "spiritual regen
eration" is on let it be hoped
it will be indulged in by capi
talists as well as by laboring
folk. Let the armor plate and
munition makers cease their
howl against government
plants and unite in supporting
a government armor factory
on the score it will be benefi
cial to the nation at large.
Let the shipping combine
cease opposition to the admin
istration's merchant marine
bill and thus submarine their
desire for immense profits and
give the country- a chance to
obtain ome ships. Let oppo
sition politicians place country
above partisanship for a time
and not try to tear down the
work of the president in order
to make political capital.
If these things should come
about even in a fair degree the
country would indeed be
"thrilled."

STEEL BARGES ON THE

Ohio a 200;foot freighter,

certain classes of freight, the
railroads cannot compete with
barges able to burn crude oil,
make fair time and operate
with a small crew.

considerable development in
the revival of river traffic.

They cry, "Protect the Widow's
Mite." When before In their long
i years of money making did these mn
ever consider the wtaow and het
mite? Have they ever protected her
mite and accumulated Immense In
dividual fortunes at the same time?
This is tUt way they protect the wid
ow's mite, by going around and ask
ing the poor people to donate money
to them to be used In putting on a
campaign against the bond Issue. Why
don't they put up this money them
selves? They havo plenty of It. In
fact, the people, the dear people
would like to see nothing so much as

their many thousand dollars In face,

They also appeal to the laborer.
What have they ever done for the la
borer? The laborer is the bane nt
their existence. In fact, they are con
tinually endeavoring to so perfect their
operations that they can do away with
' the laborer entirely. The bond Issue
means that the laborer will get $800,
000 of the Issue, for that amount will
be spent for labor In the construction
of these roads and It wjll be local la

If these men are sincere In their
