Mrs. A. Blackwell, Secretory Mrs. S. J. Gossett, Reporter FACTS WORTH KNOWING Only the great hearted can be true friends. All along the shadowed ways of life the great hearted are constantly sending out sunlight and cheer, which humans of inferior natures can never know or bestow. To do good, without having their motives suspected, is their grand intention. They seek no praise. They move about with the quiet of summer breezes, leaving in their trail the delicious scent of gardens and the peace of tranquil skies. In the happiness they give to others, they find a graification rich beyond price. If but once in your life you should be fortunate enough to meet a great hearted man or woman, the remembrance of it will linger in your mind until the end of your days. Great hearts often dwell in lowly places. Sometimes they are found in frail bodies, poorly clad, but there is about them a radiance of spirit brighter than a thousand stars and clear as beaming of the noonday sun. Great hearts blow to flame the spark that blazes with love; they espouse Truth and mercy; they sing from morn till night of kindness and good will when their days are lonely and their tables are bare. They are neither silent nor neglectful when the ill and the discouraged need succor or sympathy. Meek or lowly, they are the ministering angels from heaven, carrying 4300 St. Ferdinand Avenue, ST. LOUIS, MO., U. S. A. DEPT. H to the sorrowing "good tidings of great ojy." From idle slumbers they call youth and point the way to honor and fame; from the valley of gloom they bid the despondent to look up to the glorious heavens; from the mire of sin they lift up the fallen, seeking no reward but the joy that is theirs from doing good. They sin as we all sin, but unlike most of us, they are charitable towards all mankind, prayerful, watchful and faithful. When the chimes in the belfry chant their evening hymns, no souls on earth are more serenely peaceful than the great hearted; when at setting of the sun of their life the stream of light grows dim in the golden west and the somber shadows fall all about them, no ouls on earth are happier than they, or more eager to go. MINIMUM WAGE LAW HELD VOID BY SUPREME COURT A for washing decision by the United State Supreme Court holds unconstitutional the minimum wage law passed by Congress for women working in the District of Columbia. The decision has an indirect bearing on the state minimum wage laws passed in New York, Wisconsin, Kansas, Washington, Oregon and California. It brings into question the rights of the states to enact minimum wage laws. The six states intervened in the district case as friends of the court. The decision, directly affecting 12,000 working women and girls in the District or Columbia and written by Justice Sutherland, held the law restricted the liberty of contract. Chief Justice Taft and Justice Holmes and Sanford dissented. Justice Brandels did not participate. The majority of the court contended the act of congress abridged the freedom of contract for personal services and was therefore beyond legislative discretion. The act was held to be essentially a price-fixing measure. In In the dissenting opinion delivered by Justice HI Holmes the right of congress to pass such an act was upheld as a police regulation to promote public health and safety, morals and welfare of the people. Justice Sutherland said: "The law takes account of the necessities of only one party to the contract. It ignores the necessities of the employer, by coupelling him to pay not less than a certain sum, whether the employee is capable of earning it or not. "The law is not confined to to the great and powerful employers, but embraces those whose bargaining powers may be as weak as that of the employees. It takes no account of the periods of stress and business preparation, of crippling losses which may leave the employer, himself, without adequate means of livelihood." The Supreme Court wage fixing decision has left to organized labor its only other self-defense weapon—the strike said Clarence Darrow. THE FLYING HOUR Some folks think of Tomorrow, . And some think of Yesterday With all the joy and sorrow That, lingered on the way. But in this world of foment My task is finding how To seize the passing moment, And make the best of Now. TWILIGHT I do not mind my years Though numerous they be, For I've a thought that cheers The aging soul of me— My thought that after all My days of youthful power, And high ambition's call, I've reached my twilight hour. Ah! since my early youth With all its hopes so gay That hour has been, in truth, The sweetest time of day. Last nigth I gazed upon the world wrapped in her moon-veil mysterious and said: "How perfect: 'Tis like heaven,' But— is heaven like this! Or do the dead gaze upon heaven as as I upon the world and say: "How perfect!" Tis like heaven! Always always reaching on and on, beyond perfection that is no longer perfection to that perfection which, too, ends doubt?"—Annie Pike Greenwood.
