New England farmers in particular, say these gentlemen, with their “everlasting spring water and plenteous shade,” mnust brace up and.send the packing-houses more livestock. he farmers are noi furnishing nearly enough animals to keep the packing- houses in operation on anything like full time.” Have the packers asked themselves why? Does the high cost of feed and the meagre price the packer pays him for his live product ailow the farmer the luxury of supplying the packing-houses with beef? “Organization,” grasping, colossal, on the part of packers and, meat handlers, has killed enthus' the West. As for the New England farmer with his grassy hillsides | and bountiful springs, the Beef Trust long ago fixed him so he can’t sell a calf without its permission and license, Tf these meat magnates are 80 nobly bent on furnishing the blood | of their country with the rich, red, juicy article that it needs, why | don’t they loosen up a little and give the farmer a chance to supply it?

E NOTE with pride that when fifteen hundred high school pupils in Syracuse showed the promising stuff that is in them by striking for shorter hours and straightway forcing the doors and jumping out of the windows of their schoolhouse, the | girls took the lead. When a man teacher tried to hold one of the doors it was fifteen courageous girls who scized a moment when he was off his guard, brushed him aside and led the rush for liberty. “This,” said the despatches, “incited the boys to action.” The Superintendent of Schools suspended everybody concerned. The intelligent though youthful strikers, however, hired a band and | stormed through the streets, so the real essentials of education were | not for a moment interrupted. But why delay useful training until | the high school age? To strike, to parade, to buck up the rush of emancipated womanhood—when will these admirable instincts find an outlet in every kindergarten? ——— THE NEW LABORATORY. LABORATORY for research in public affairs is the latest offer- ing of New York University to its students. We hope local ailments will get a fair show. A few political dissections and autopsies hereabouts might lead to priceless benefits, What an achievement, for instance, if we could succeed in separat- ing the average Alderman’s brains from his obstinacy so as to be able to study the former under a microscope and try the most powor- fal known acids on the latter! Or if the Murphy microbe could be isolated long enough to suggest an anti-toxin! May untold blessings come out of this laboratory until a day when, after years of research, somebody discovers a true emulsion of Public Spirit. a ‘A Harvard dtvinity student bicycled to the university from Mich- gan, 1,100 miles away.

The gare dens are lyrics and the magnolia trees with blossoms or creamy petals and gold hearts are epics of Southern life.” “Maybe it te that we become eo ac.astomed to the beau- tles you think inspiring that they do not appeal with such force as to incite us to poetic expressi But we count the greatest of all American poets as our own, for the South claims Poe and Poe claims the South, notwithstanding the unfortunate mistake in the choice of a birthplace.” “Our native place is that wherein are soul-born; the environment on which we first open our physical eyes ts a mere incident, Poe's nature was Southern, though some dark blight of fate had blotted from it the sun and flowers. He saw the darkest phases of life and a blackness of death 5 which has no proper place in the conception of that friend of man who brings him peace and light. But a pleasing personality to meet was Poe, as I met him once, tired looking, as if all the fatigue of the world had de- scended upon him, but gentle and quiet and with @ poetic dreaminess of ex- Presalpn that would have told me he was a poet bad I known nothing of him. Of course I do not care for his rhymes and rhythms any more than I care for an iron trellis on which to fasten the vines that go rioting over field and fence and trees at their own will, but it was his form of expression and his personality 14 work which were alike fascinating, I saw him some tme afterward, but had only one real meeting with him. “Poe belonged in a world of his own, where the shadows fell heavily and never lifted. Our poet of the sunny outlook was Sydney Lanier, whose mental opened southward and always held blooming flowers. ‘o single art can claim Lanter.

One who walked the long brown road with him would seo its homely color and very pebble aiong the way and even the flowers that grew beside it and the inset at the end, but it was in their strength. not in their beautiful tints oF graceful lines, that they were displayed.
