CONTEMPLATION
That this world is a medley of danpers, there isn't the shadder
of doubt; suspicion is launched at the stranger, that pesters us,
inside an' out. . . So, every man's full of predict ions that
augur for heaven or hell, and others would speak their cor.vic
t'ons, if they had the c mviction to tell. . . .
When ignorance, greed, an' starvation are skulkin' abroad in
the land, God pity, 0, pity the nation that rests in the palm of
their hand! When the tribe of the rat-eyed commuter is huntin'
up space for its spread, it needn't rtiitiiro any tutor, to tell where
our got a may be lead. ...
There's many a powerful lesson in the war, which we lately
went through. . . There was days that had history guessin'
and hell, that was horribly new. . . . And now, that the
holocaust's over, we find that there's a pain in our head, with
many a wound to recover, and many n menRce to dread. . . .
But we'll find, that the one-eyed champion parroter, is a hither
to, un-listed class. It's the one-eyed politickle voter, that don't
know a crook from an ass..

post war conditions were pointed out County Indian One Hundred ami Sev
as obstructions to fixing any scien
tific living or saving wage at pres

as this condition cleared away it
would "give increased consideration
to all the Intricate details incident
to the scientific adjustments" of such
a wage.
The bulk of those hit by the new
cut will be 200.000 clerks and 100.
000 station employees. Telephone

Mr. R. W. Lemmond, clerk of su

things in corned Ion with the long
