He is rather dull and stupid, and not given much to reading, . And even when he has a thought his word are few and rude, So when summoned to his stonia about that same proceeding, ' Rough Ivan’s stray ideas were quite natur- ally crude. But he heard his colonel reading out the regimental order,‘ Which explains in glowing language why the Russians go to war; And he holds some dim idea that 'he ’s on the Turkish border “ For the glory of the Empire and the honor of the Czar.” Ivan Petrokoffsky is a little tender-hearted, His feelings (for a private) are entirely out of place; And whcnf'rom wife and infant with slow, lingering steps he parted, No heroic agitation was depicted on his face. It was well for foolish Ivan that his colonel had not found him, When the marching order reached him at his home that bitter day, When the younger Ivan’s chubby little arms were folded round him, And tearful Mrs. Ivan gave her tongue un- bounded sway. . There were murmurs of rebellion in that quiet little village, (So devoid of patriotic aspirations women are), When Ivan and his comrades left for scenes of'blood and pillage. “ For the glory of the Empier and the honor of the Czar.” Ivan Petrokoffsky, of the Twenty-First Di- vision Of the Army of the Danube, is not easy in his mind ; For within the dim recesses of his heart is a suspicion He has said farewell forever to the loved ones left behind. , In cruel dreams he sees himself, 9. shapelcss mass and gory, By the rolling Danube lying, with his pur- ple life-stream spent, And he has not such a keen appreciation of the glory Of dying for his country to be happy or content. He has seen his comrades falling round, all mangled, torn and bleeding, And their cries were not of triumph, but of homes and kindred far; While little rocked the vultures, on the gray-robed bodies feeding, “ 0f the glory of the Empire or the honor of the Czar.” â€"-Arlhur III.

The Appeal has on several occasions quoted from the columns of the Chicago Tribune an interview in that paper be- tween its Washington correspondent and President Roosevelt. The latter point- ed out the serisusness of the situation and said emphatically that, unless the Republican party “did something,” it would be called upon to face a social democracy. Public Opinion. a mags. zinc of current literature, printed quite recently an article written by Jackson Tinker, a New York newspaper man, in which he elaborated the Tribune inter- view, and told in detail the circumstan- ces which led to Roosovolt’s remarkable and significant statement. Mr. ’I‘iokor says: . “ Ho summoned Paul Morton from the Santa Fe railroad to his cabinet, and had many animated discussions with him concerning the workings of the great railroad systems. He enter- tained at the White House A. J. Cass- att, Samuel Spencer, J. Pierpont Mor- gan, James J. Hill, President Mellon, and other railroad capitalists and exoc- utive heads. and absorbed their views. L'aruc shippers and small shippers, too, engaged his attention, and he studied carefully the work of the interstate com merce commission and what it had been able to accomplish. Then he summoned some of' the railroad presidents again, and told them frankly that he was con- vinccd that they were standing in the way of' their own best interests by not being willing; to accept moderate regula tions of railroads by federal authority. ‘Gentlemen,’ he said, ‘you are only in- vitin}.r still more radical actionâ€"~zovern- ment ownership.’ One of his visitors was shocked when the president, turn- ing upon him in hjs abrupt manner, ex- claimed: "l‘ho republican party will not go up against any more istuffed clubs' in a good while. The democratic party will not try that game again in this generation.’ “ ' What then ? ’ gasped his visitor. “ Social dcmocracy,’ came the astoun- ding rejoinder. ‘ That will be the next 3-..... "A move, unless we._repubhcans. with lull power in the executive and legislative departments of the government, Satisfy the people and reform exisdng ccndit~ ions. If we do not do this, we shall be ovorwhclmcd.’ "â€"Appeal to Reason. o <. .â€"-â€"“___.. .... The Greed For Gold. Again has the financial world been shocked by the defalcation of a bank president. Again have the people of the whole country been treated to the spec- tacle of seeing a man in high social-po- sition playing a robber game which makes the peculations of a common, ev- eryday thief look like virtue in compar- ison. Here are the facts as announced in the daily papers: Frank G. Bigelow, president of the ll‘irst National Bank, of Milwaukee, has- stolen $3,000,000 and squandered it in wheat speculations. To cover his tracks he concocted a plot in which a trusted book-kceperuwas to falsify the bank books, and his own son was to act as his agent on the Chicago Board of Trade. By the merest accident the theft was discovered. Last year this same‘Frank G. Bigolow occupied the highest position which the men of' his profession could bestow; they elected him president of the Bankers’ Association of America. 'I‘c-day he is a criminal; . What was the cause of the downfall of this man ?' Was it the. lack of moral teaching? No; he probably went to church rogu- larly. Was it the lack of high ideals ? No. At the annual banquet of the Bankers’ Association, last year, Bigo- low gave vent to the. following beautiful sentiments :' i - "' Let your conscience act first. “ Bankers should bc‘ religious and. Sincere. ” Be honest; be kind; earn a. little more; spend a little less- “ Brothers, beware of reckless specu- lations 1 “Bank presidents, I am happy to say, are ever honest, over careful and ever conservative." And then in his final exhortation this immaculate man, this “ safe and sane ” pillar of society, this protector of all good things, lifted up his voice in warn- ing and cried aloud: “ BEWARE or Soemmsn ! SOCIAL- ISM MEANS THE RUIN OF THIS COUN- TRY! ! ” Eureka]. But at the very time he was giving voice to these borrowed phrases, he was speculating with other people’s money, which he was stealing from the bank of which he was the trusted head l What was the cause of his downfall? The Greed for Gold. The lust. for more riches, which he did not need; the craving avarice which steals away men’s brains, paralyzes conscience, and turns men’s hearts to stone when deal- ing with the problems of labor and the miseries of the poor. Verily the Socialists are dangerous; Labor Unions breed violence and anar- éhy, and we need bankers to guard the- interests of religion and society and ward off revolution ; but, how the deuce can we, in the meantime, keep their hands ofi” our pocket books ?â€"Ib. 0". Wanted His Share of ’Em. The following telegram sped over the wires alongside the Great Northern rail- road. It was sent by G. C. Crittenden, an official of that road, to Division Su- perintendent E. Carter : “ Wire me number of' Japs you will want on each section to fill out author- ized force. Do not fiuure on any Ital- ians, as we cannot get them. Let me have this at once, as boatload of Japs arc in, and we want to get our share.” The jobs of free American citizens are going glimmering. And this is where they are going. Notwithstanding the fact that there are nearly a million idle menin this country, the steamship companies, in collusion with the rail- road compunies, are bringingr hordes of Asiatics to the United States. They take advantage of their ignorance, and hold out before them glittering induce- ments of the land of gold. Once here, they become the victims of the employ ment sharks and the railroad and min- ing Corporations. And what are you going to do about it ?-â€"-Ib. "‘-c Hints of great scandals in the United States postal system are again being re- vived. Washington is a rotten hole,‘ putrid in the extreme. It needs :1 So- cialist broom to sweep it out and clean It up. But the graftors are, of Course, opposed to anything that will give them a good washing. tMmmm-m: H I - “A _1.,V:J.. .; 7. veal-5f < you. 47‘ x: J's)" ("mo-.1. _.â€",‘ --â€"_ 44 . ‘i,, so.» a). new ,1" ,. 4'
