THE CALL
There's a strange little pain in my
heart dear,
■ That nothing can set at rest.
In the crowd I am still apart dear.
As 1 search with a hopeless quest.
Each face that is some-one’s light
dear.
Each form that is some-one’s pride.
At morn, at noon and at night dear,
I miss you love, from my side.
There's a deep little hurt in my soul
dear,
The best of me knows to-day.
How far am I still from the goal
dear,
How great is the price I pay. j
And I'm lost in the maze and the]
mist dear,
I'm weary of futile strife.
The call on the lips you’ve kissed,,
dear,
Is back, come back, to my life. I
FLOATING
Too many people in this life sim
ply float. They have no fixed ambition
or purpose in life. Show me a man
with a definite program of action
and that coupled with a determina
tion, to succeed or die in the attempt
and I will show you a man that some
time in his three score and ten years
will mount the ladder of his ambi
tion.
Life's actions are the same as any |
business. If a business organization
were to open its doors with no set
form of action and take every thing
that came along—never seeking to
better its condition—never checking
itself up for improvments—it would
dash on the rocks and be smashed to
pieces at the first storm. So a direct
analogy may be drawn with the indi
vidual. Unless one is closely follow
ing a mapped campaign of action, his
chances for success will be numbered
with the majority, which is failure
for nine ‘out of ten who enter the
business world.
Your course of action may have
to be changed from time to time as
conditions present themselves; make
the change, get up a little more
steam, open the throttle and sand
the rail, then give it every unit of
energy you possess. Hit things square
on the head.
SIR ROGER CASEMENT.
The madcap enterprise of Sir Rog
er Casement, who has been arrested
by the British on a charge of treason
in attempting to land arms and mu
nitions for the Irish rebels, is one of
the interesting sidelights of the big
war. It is peculiarly interesting be
cause Sir Roger once was not with
out honor in his own country. Some
of his former friends in England be
lieve that he is mentally unbalanced,
but whether that is true or whether
he is simply an incorrigible Irish
Separatist, is only conjectural.
Sir Roger, before the outbreak of
the war, was in the British consular
service, having held posts in Portu
guese West Africa, Congo Free State,
San Domingo and Brazil. He was
knighted In 1911 and in 1912 he was
instrumental while consul general at
Rio Janeiro, in bring about reforms
in the treatment of natives employed
by British companies in the Putamayo
rubber fields.
In November, 1914, it was report
ed that Sir Roger, as leader of the
Separist faction In Ireland, had gone
to Berlin and conferred with the Ger
man imperial authorities in the hope
of opening up negotiations between
Germany and the anti-British party
in Ireland. Assurances were said to
have been given him that should the
Germans land in Ireland all native in
stitutions would be respected, in re
turn for which, it was reported. Sir
Roger’s followers were to lend aid to
the Germans. In learning of this al
leged plot the British authorities sus
pended Sir Roger’s pension as a mem
ber of the consular service.
From that time until a few days
ago. when a stemship flying a neutral
flag, unsuccessfully attempted to
land a cargo of arms on the Irish
coast, little was heard of the separa
tist leader. Sir Roger was taken
from a small boat in which he had
embarked in an endeavor to escape,
when it was seen that the ship on
which he was embarked was liable to
be captured by the English.
Sir Roger led a cause that was
hopeless from the start, as he was un
prepared. had neither arms nor mu
nitions, lacked the men for the en
terprise, and had his plans tipped off,
to the British government in advance.
What will be done with him by the
authorities is a matter of conjecture.
His prominence renders his execution
dangerous to the British government,
and if he lives he will always be a
menace in that he will foment strife
and discord against the government.
BERMGERENT REASONING.
Sir Edward Grey acts as advocate
and judge in his reply to the Ameri
can protest regarding violations by
the British of the rights of the United
States on the high seas.
He asserts that the practices ob
jected to by our government are “jr
dicially sound and valijjjj” and then i '
the next breath refers to Ijie admittc i
principles of international law car
fully adjusted to the altered condi
tions of modern warfare.” Also it is
maintained that “new devices for dis
patching goods to the enemy must !■■■
met by new methods of applying the
fundamental and acknowledged prin
ciples of the right to intercept such
trade.”
Germany contends that the use of
the submarine is justified because it
is a weapon developed since present
international law was established and
that “the altered conditions of mod
ern warfare” justify its use. En
gland and Germany each wishes this
country to accept its view on these
subjects, but to resist those of its
enemies.
The United States, as a neutral na
tion, is not likely to admit the con
tention of either.
SUPERIOR EDUCATION.
Arnold once said: “I would far
rather send a boy to Van Dieman’s;
Land, where he would have to work
hard for his bread, than to send him !
to college to live in luxury withoutj
any desire in his mind to avail him-,
self of his advantages.”
And in this he was right. What,
benefit is a college education to a
person who takes no advantage of it.
One does not necessarily have to do
great thfngs to get the value of an
education, but they should think and
act as an educated person, and allow
their mind to expand and grow larger
through cultivation. Coarseness can
be avoided; pleasant converse may be
held on current topics; and in many;
ways can the education be used for
your good.
“As a man thinks so is he,” and
nothing so plainly shows a man's

PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS ON THE
MEXICAN AFFAIR
The address of President Wilson
to the citizens of the United States
warning them against the false sen
sational reports in regard to events
in Mexico and along the border will
be received by the public with all the
consideration and respect due the
Chief Magistrate, and will undoubt
edly be heeded by the vast mapority.
The facts, established and proved
facts, as regards the frightful con
ditions in Mexico are sensational
enough without any attempt upon the
part of anyone to make them more
sensational.
Every person has two educations:
One which he receives from others;
and one, more important, which he
gives himself.”—Cardinal Gibbons.
CANDOR is the seal of a noble
mind, the ornament and pride of a
man, the sweetest charm of woman, I
the scorn of rascals, and the rarest
virtue of sociability.—Sternac.

SOLON OUTLINE PLAN
TO RAISE REVENUES
—
WASHINGTON, D. C„ May 10.—
Methods of raising preparedness rev
enue which will probably be suggest
ed to the house by the ways and
means committee were outlined last
night by Representative Rainey, a
democrat, of Illinois, the ranking ma
jority member of the committee, at
a preparedness dinner here given by
members of the Illinois Manufactur
ers’ Association.
“Income taxes including the sur
tax will be increased, and taxes will
be levied on whisky, beer, wine, man
ufactured tobacco and munitions,”
-.aid Mr. Rainey. “When these taxes
are levied they are as high as they
ever can go and they never will be re
pealed.
“This will be a billion and a quar
ter congress, and at the rate of in
rease in the next few years every
ession will be a two billion dollar
congress. While you are devising so
many ways for us to spend money,
for God’s sake tell us where to get it
without burdening the people. If we
lave to prepare we must find more
subjects for taxation.”
Senator Sherman, republican, of
Illinois, told the diners he favored
enforced military training and a large
army and navy.
Representative Mann, republican,
of Illinois, miniority leader in the
house, declared that this was the time
“to prepare for war and remain at
peace.” He declared that the people
of the country would never stand for
universal military training, and that
it would sound the death knell of any
party trying to enforce it.
