Is It the sol on which we tread? Is It the gathering of familiar faces? Is it our luxury and pomp and pride? Nay, more than these. Is It power and might and majesty alone? No, our country is more, far more than all these. The country which demands our love, our courage, our devotion, ourlieart's blood, Is more than all these. Our country Is the history of our fathers; our country is the tradi tion of our mothers; our country Is past renown; our country Is present pride and power; our country is future hope and des tiny; our country Is greatness, glory, truth, constitutional liber ty-above all, freedom forever! These are the watchwords under which we fight, and we will shout them out till the stars ap pear In the sky, in the stormiest hour of battle.-Edward D. Ba ker. VIRTUE IMMORTAL Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright, The bidall of the earth and skie; The dew shall weep thy fall to night, For thou must die. Sweet rote, whose hue angrie and brave Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye: Thy root Is ever in the grave, And thou must die. Sweet spring, fall of sweet dayes and roses, A box where sweets compact ed lie; Thy musick shows ye haveyour closes, And al must die. Onely a sweet and vertuous soW, Like seasoned timber never gives. But though the whole world tun to coal, Then chieSy lives. -George Eerbr HUMAN FREEDOM. We did not constute this government as the means et ac quiring new rights, but for the protection of old ones which na ture had, conferred upon us, which the constitution rightly regards as pr-exiting rights and as to which all the consti tution does Is to provide that these rights neither you nor any power on earth shal alter, abro gate or abridge. 'hey are rights of heaven's own giving. We hold them by the supreme ten ure of revolution. We hold them by the dread arbitrament of bat tle. We hold them by the conl cession of a higher and broader' charter than all the constitu tions in the land-the free do nation of the eternal God when he made us tobe men. These, the cardinal principles of human freedom, he has Implanted In us and placed them before and be hind and around us for our guard and gincem like the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, which led the Is raelites through the desert. It Is a liberty, native, Inborn, origi nal, underived, imprescriptible and acknowledged In the consti tution itself as pre-eninantly be fore and above the constitution.. -Caleb Onshing. -L1OVE.

Foresight of Germans Provided Com fortable and Adequate Housing Fa cilities For Workers-Krupp First to Put Idea Into Effect. The foresight of the Germans was responsible for the provision of com fortable and adequate housing facili ties for the workers, says Wilhelm Wiegand in Town Development. Over fifty years ago it was realized that an investment for efficiency was the most profitable investment possible, and this realization was followed up by the con clusioii that such effciency can be se cured only when the workingman is so .housed and cared for that his health and happiness are assured. The truth of this hypothesis Is now so generally acknowledged that its statement ap pears trite. But f' vrenrs ago the theory had never bee-. i..ed and prdved true, and It must have been difficult to squander good maits and pfennigs for the consummation of a visionary ideal. The founder of the great Krupp gun works at Essen, however, with more than natfie German sagacity, was per haps the first to comprehend the con crete value of the vision. So in the year 1860 twelve houses that were to rent at a most modest figure were built for the convenience of the Krupp em ployees. After that the advance was rapid. Within seven years 318 more houses had been added to the colony, and as the plant grew year by year the number of houses increased until there are now over 6,000. Even this num ber of dwelling however, provides for but one-third of the employees of the peat shops, for the Krupp Interests ftrnish labor for about 40,000. Unlike other colonies that havebeen founded to provide a home for the workman at the least possible cost, the oDz HoUss Oc E3umP EMnoEs colony of Essen has not been forced to sacrinice beauty and comfort to mere utility. Built primarily to serve the purpose of utility, compactly arranged for the strictest economy of space as the houses are, they maintain an at mosphere of charm and individuality that goes far toward making them real homes for their tennnts. Indeed, a glance at the ivy covered walls, shaded windows, patches of shrubbery and fowers, gives one the Impression of a mall agricultural village rather than of a thundering industrial center. -The bulldngshave been arranged so that every family may have Its bountiful share of light and open air. Each dwelling has a small lawn and a gar den space for vegetables and flower gardens. The interior of the cottage is as attractive as the exterior. Every house contains at least two rooms, and the great majority have from four to six rooms and often a basement In accordance with the prevailng cus tomn the main room serves the double functon of kitchen and living room. This room, always Imaculately clean, Is always comfortably warm from the heat of the stove. The whitewashed walls are covered with the shining kitchen utensils that are used through out the country as wall decorations. For comfortable habitations in Essen the workmen pay from 100 to 300 marks a year, the higher figure provid Ing a five room cottage in the most fa vorable environmnent Imagine any house In America renting for from $23.80 to $71.40 a year! At this price, of course, the proprietors can make no money, and, although they calculate their gain at 1 per cent per annum, the expense of deterioration must be estimated at 3 per cent, so that the Krupp company stands a yearly loss of 2 per cent on every house. To off set this loss, however, the company has discovered through the experience of the fifty years that the efficiency of their workingmen has been tripled and that the losfi from strikes and labor difficulties In general has been reduced to a negligible fraction. That the com pany has never questioned the wisdom of sacrificing a small amount of money to a great gain in service is most con elusively demonstrated by the continu ance of the policy of home building.
